Old man Shiraishi painted chickens after a long period of exercise. The chickens he painted before the age of thirty, although the brushwork was very poor, were very vivid. Later, after careful observation of life, I was able to draw the characteristics of firewood chicken, oily chicken, and bamboo chicken, and all of them expressed different spirits and interests.
Old man Shiraishi painted shiba chicken (a thin chicken with no hair on its legs), and he was able to draw a strong body that was not fat, could run, could jump, and was very sensitive. The chicken feathers are arranged naturally, the chicken tail is explained in a few strokes, and the performance is thin and healthy. Look at the fence on the upper side, it is refreshing and powerful, and it can better highlight the robustness of the chicken, and if you draw a fence with a thinner brush, it will be incongruous.

In order to express the fat and weight, the old man Shiraishi painted the belly of the chicken with a thick ink horizontally, which was directly connected to the chicken legs, which especially increased the weight of the chicken compared to the yellow-gray color of the original chicken. This kind of painting method was not available to painters in the past, and modern painters in general did not dare to express it in this way. This was created by the old man based on this live chicken. This horizontal brush must be disconnected from the upper feather, leaving a gap to show the vividness of the feather. In addition, the majesty of the cockscomb, the bulkiness of the chicken feet, and the sharpness of the corns can all be expressed. As for the back part of the chicken, because it is too light, add a small hair, break the round back, and show that the back hair is vivid and natural, which is the most wonderful technique.

I especially like the big chickens painted by the old man Shiraishi, and I have copied more than 20 pictures at first, but I feel that I am always unsatisfactory and not vivid. The old man said: "You paint chickens, the problem is that you lack the skills to sketch, I spend much more time carefully observing and studying chickens than painting chickens, so I can have a god." This made me further understand that if I don't have a good foundation for sketching, no matter how many times I copy it, the painting is just a formality, and it is impossible to paint like a "god". After the liberation, the old man Baishi was as happy as the working people, and specially created a "Rooster Singing Picture" with the inscription "The Rooster Sings the World Red" to express his love for the new society and the Communist Party.
