By popular request, Ling Chi revisiting the subject Chrysanthemum this time in the Gong-bi or Fine Line style.

Chinese Fine Line Painting or Gong-bi is a very ancient style of painting that requires specially treated paper and multi layers of shading to create depth and dimension.

Chrysanthemum is one of four essential subjects in Chinese Painting collectively known as the Four Gentlemen. They are: Orchid, Bamboo, Chrysanthemum and Plum. The traditional way for students to learn Chinese Painting is to focus on these four subjects to develop the essential techniques through which all the other subjects can be depicted.
