Fine outlines filled with careful, flat color: birds and flowers.
Sent with your prompt
Gongbi painting on silk or aged paper: fine, even ink outlines drawn with a thin brush, filled with layered washes of mineral and plant color in soft, flat gradations. Muted earth tones, white, soft blue and green, with small red accents. Meticulous detail throughout, no cast shadows, and generous empty background, often with calligraphy and red seals.
