Chinese Painting

Before the digital era, I learned Lingnan-style Chinese painting. Unlike oil painting or other Western styles, Lingnan Chinese painting is a one-shot skill. This means if a mistake is made, it cannot be covered up with new paint like in oil painting. It requires meticulous planning and refined skill.

I was particularly passionate about painting goldfish during that time. The delicate brushwork and vibrant colors needed to capture the beauty and movement of goldfish fascinated me. My dedication to mastering this traditional art form has profoundly influenced my approach to modern graphic design.
