YAN Three Gold Fish water scene Chinese painting

The dark bamboo leaves overhang a playful yet peaceful scene of goldfish frolicking in the clear waters, similar to “Flower and Bird” paintings the Chinese paintings of fish display a small window into beautiful nature of animal and plant.

The large tails and delicate fins of these small animals propel them through the water in lazy peaceful fashion perhaps idling in the shade of the bamboo leaves offers a little respite from the warmth of this sunny day.

Fairly typical of YAN paintings this piece displays a colourful colour palette which is very beautiful and brings a great deal of colour, though YAN paintings use traditional typically mineral inks which tend towards darker colours – as evidenced in the overhanging bamboo, which is typical of this style of work – her work that shows animals often bring much colour and life.

The drawing of fish is described in this post here and this work – as is fairly typical in Chinese traditional arts painting – have fish that are drawn with a great life and movement, though in this piece subdued due to the nature of the setting.

This painting is of a Chinese traditional painting paper of yellow tint and obvious fabric like material effect, the paper is not smooth and not canvas yet displays the small fibres of a thicker paper or card.

The paper is mounted upon a slightly off white tending towards yellow card whose colour is captured adequately in the above picture when compared to the white background of the website, this is not a framed painting yet has a rigidity suitable for direct hanging or better still mounting in a frame or other display medium.

YAN Orange gold fish water scene traditional Chinese painting

A scene of gold fish drawn in the traditional Chinese method showing playful and life full character in the crystal waters of this deep aqua scene. The fish frolic around the seaweeds and under water plants their fins and tails showing movement and tranquil playful character.

The lifelike movement and image of the fish is impressed by their peaceful and innocent expressions of character while the idyllic nature is further enhanced by the lush green weed rich in life.

The sub aqua scene is very typical of the so called “flower and bird” scenes in Chinese traditional paintings, showing small micro scenes resplendent in movement and life.

The nature of Chinese traditional arts painting is such that few can match the exacting requirements of minimal yet precise brush strokes used to almost “write” the subject out. The demanding nature of Chinese arts are exacted by strict adherence to template books and recognised stroke order for the contents which have been accumulated through millennia of contemporary artist peer review and acknowledgement of what “defines” correct stroke.

This is a circular original painting drawn upon traditional Chinese arts paper, the inks used are traditional inks of a mineral nature demonstrating great colour typical of YAN work.

The piece is mounted upon square almost white card carrying a slight yellow tint just visible in the photograph.
