FAQs

Chinese watercolour painting is an ancient art form rooted in literati traditions, focusing on the expression of nature through brushwork, ink, and mineral pigments on silk or Xuan paper.

These works typically utilise animal-glue watercolours or black ink applied with bamboo-handled brushes onto stretched silk or absorbent paper, often mounted on traditional scrolls or framed.

Authentic pieces exhibit natural pigment absorption, brushstroke texture, ageing characteristics such as silk oxidisation or foxing on paper, and traditional artist seals or calligraphy.

Pairing classical paintings with minimalist frames or placing them within eclectic spaces creates a sophisticated focal point that balances historical depth with contemporary clean lines.

Preservation requires framing behind UV-protective glass, maintaining stable humidity levels, and avoiding direct sunlight to prevent the fading of delicate water-based pigments.
