Suddenly, Huang Xiaolong picked up the brush and began to trace out lines over the ink blotches on Cui Feiyan's back.
His movements were graceful as if he were a master painter, and within a few seconds, the ink blotches on Cui Feiyan's back turned into a few rocks and sprouts of bamboo!
Next, dipping the brush into the ink pot, Huang Xiaolong boldly brushed over the back of Cui Feiyan's skirt with his strokes.
Bamboo sprouting beside strange rocks, nimble and upright. Bamboo painted on both sides of the rock was swaying in the wind.
The composition of the picture was well balanced.
Thrusting brushes rendered bamboo leaves overlapping, the strokes were vigorous and commanding, dark and light inks harmonised well, vivacious clusters of bamboo grew beneath the rocks, airily lively.
The painting brings out the essence of inked bamboo in an elegant style...
It was indeed a wonderful reproduction of Zheng Banqiao's Bamboo and Rocks painting!
