Shanghai Ink-Wash Animation

Shanghai Ink-Wash Animation – Man portrait Shanghai Ink-Wash Animation – Woman portrait

Chinese ink-wash shuimo animation: translucent ink washes ranging from pale grey to deep black, expressive brush strokes with feathered wet edges and bloom; generous negative space of empty paper-toned ground; minimal palette of ink greys with occasional soft greens, blue-greys or one warm accent; watercolour-like diffusion instead of outlines; atmospheric aerial perspective; xieyi freehand suggestion rather than precise detail; no lettering or seals.
