Meticulous Paintings, literally "detailed strokes", are paintings characterized by fine brushwork. In contrast with Freehand Brush-work Paintings, they focused a lot on details. Classical examples of this school are Imperial-court paintings of the Ming Dynasty, Qiu Ying's figure paintings of the Ming Dynasty and Shen Quan's Flowers and Birds of the Qing Dynasty. |
