It's a rare treasure. The whole maintains an elegant and harmonious style.
rat
These two voles draw their bodies with talk ink and their eyes with thick ink, so the eyes are prominent. The round eyes of voles are very energetic, and they are really lifelike. This painting is properly handled with reality and a strong sense of space, which reflects the author's sketching skills.
cattle
The head of the large buffalo is delicately depicted, and the body is simplified. In order to achieve the balance of the picture, a heavy line is used on the back of the cow, which not only balances the picture but also echoes the heavy color block of the cow's head. And the drop is placed in the lower right corner for the visual balance of the left and right.
tiger
This tiger looks a little timid, and does not have the might of the Beastmaster. Hehehehehehe
rabbit
Two rabbits, one white and one black, set off each other, and the light-colored grass form a black, white and gray relationship in the picture, which is a very traditional Western painting expression.
dragon
The dragon is a divine beast that can call the wind and rain. The author wants to express the artistic conception of "the dragon sees the head but does not see the tail". The dark clouds depicted by the ink technique are very atmospheric.
(It's just that this dragon sprays like this, it shouldn't be raining, or it can't be eaten below.) ）
snake
The body of the snake is painted with ink, and then added with heavy ink, which shows the shape of the snake very well. Proficiency in structure and technique is important.
horse
The horse is the animal that Xu Beihong paints the most proudly. This horse is a fusion of Chinese and Western painting methods, and the performance of light and shadow effects makes the horse have a strong sense of three-dimensionality.
sheep
This painting of the sheep, sketched and dotted with short lines of talking about color, looks very relaxed. The front and rear spaces are good.
猴
The monkey's fur is dotted with a dry brush and the boneless wet painting of the trunk creates a good contrast. It not only opens up the space but also forms a rhythm.
chicken
The big rooster looks forward to having a god. The author's penmanship of splashing ink and double groove is skillful.
dog
On the surface, the lines of "Wangcai" seem to be very soft and weak, but they just show the softness and fluffiness of the yellow dog's fur.
pig
The roundness of the black pig's body is very expressive. The use of pen and ink is a good expression of the skin texture and volume of the big black pig.
