Description

Qi Baishi's painting of shrimp depicts the form of shrimp, which is lively, sensitive, alert, and full of vitality. It is because Qi Baishi mastered the characteristics of shrimp that he was able to draw it with ease. A few strokes, using the depth and intensity of ink, express a sense of dynamism. A pair of thick ink eyes, with a little burnt ink in the middle of the head and two light strokes on the left and right, causing the shrimp's head to change in many ways. The hard shell is transparent, from deep to shallow. And the waist of the shrimp, stroke by stroke, with continuous strokes, forms the rhythm of the shrimp waist from thick to thin.
