Mixed Chinese Gongbi and Xieyi is a traditional Chinese painting that has combined the two opposite painting techniques together, to create a new painting style.
Sometimes, people paint the main part with Chinese Gongbi style, using the detail lines to express it in the painting. It can be a person, a thing, or an animal depending on what you want to express mainly. Meanwhile, people use Chinese Xieyi or Mogu style to paint the background or the objective view.
But this is not absolute. Usually, as long as there are the two different styles in one painting, we call it a Mixed Chinese Gongbi and Xieyi Painting.
Therefore, Mixed Chinese Gongbi and Xieyi Painting has some realistic parts characterized by fine brushwork and delicate strokes. It also pays attention to the detail part on many occasions, this part is the focal point of the painting; also it has some freehand drawing parts, to make the main part stand out by contrast.
Usually, in a mixed Chinese Gongbi and Xieyi Painting, the Gongbi part is not as strict as a Chinese Gongbi Painting, it can be a little more unhurried and relaxing.
I have learned to paint some Mixed Chinese Gongbi and Xieyi Paintings as my assignments in Chinese National Academy of Arts. Now I would like to share some of them with you and hope to hear your comments and advice.
Sincerely
