However, this makes it even more difficult.
This style of fusion painting, Lin Tao has never tried before.
It's not that he can't paint it.
But given Lin Tao's status, he naturally cannot hold himself to ordinary standards.
Among the artists in the Dongxia art circle, those who have integrated traditional Eastern elements into Western oil painting the best are probably three people.
According to Professor Lin Tao's self-assessment.
In terms of grasping Eastern aesthetic imagery, he is not as good as Zhao Wuji; in terms of combining ink structures with Western colors, he is not as good as Wu Guanzhong; in terms of the neatness of lines and adaptation of oil painting brushstrokes, he is also not as good as the great painter Zhu Nai Zheng, who has decades of calligraphy experience.
After all, he is the eldest disciple of Elder Cao still living today.
If he can't do the best or paint something characteristic of his own,
it might just seem like a poor imitation.
