One of the important reasons Xuan Sheng did not like the first two paintings by famous painters was that they were too plain.
Master Su Qian's Phoenix Wearing Peony was graceful and luxurious. Master Lin Yu's ink bamboo also had a style.
However, Xuan Sheng felt that something was missing.
When he saw Yuan Wanxia's ancient pine painting slowly opening on the screen, Xuan Sheng's eyes lit up.
This was an ancient pine painting, but it was different from any ancient pine painting Xuan Sheng had ever seen.
The painting used white powder as snow, the heads of the trees and reeds to reach the peak, the sand feet as golden powder, and the broken ink to show the gentle sunlight after the snow.
The entire scene was cold and sparse, with light snow accumulating. The scene of small boats and fishermen fishing formed a beautiful scene in the cold forest.
