This week is an Enhancement week with tasks that I have to choose
Because of how busy I become, I decided to do the Contextual Task:
Choose a painting and describe what ink techniques have been used, and how these contribute to the impression of spatial definition, atmosphere, and mood.

The picture I choose is Wang Meng: Mount Taibai from China Online Museum
Wang Meng (1308-1385), Yuan Dynasty
Handscroll, ink, and color on paper, 27 x 238 cm
Liaoning Provincial Museum, Shenyang
Chinese ink painting techniques are very significant and distinctive since they are often based on natural scenery. In this picture, the painter has used; Wash ink(Diluted ink), Hard lines, and coloured inks
The technique that stood out to me the most is the diluted of the ink that is used to paint the mountain in the distance, as the lighter in value is the further that object is. The blue of the mountain in the further distance creates an illusion that the mountain is in the sea of fog. The colour also gives an impression of daytime as light blue fogs are the reflection of the morning sky.
The nearer the distance of the object, the darker and more crisp the lines are which is why the trees and rocks in the front are painted with more details and delicate lines.
