What are the four kinds of meticulous paintings?

Pale colors emphasize the beauty of elegance, simplicity, simplicity and purity to express the theme of the work and portray the artistic conception of the picture. Dyeing basically uses water-based plant pigments such as cyanine, gamboge, magenta and rouge, which gives people a natural artistic vision and has no sense of carving.

3. Heavy color: refers to the painting method of neat and fine pen and heavy color with powdery opaque pigment. Mineral pigments are generally used for dyeing, such as kyanite, azurite, cinnabar, zinc titanium dioxide and so on.

4. Boneless: it is a technique of traditional flower-and-bird painting, which is skillfully combined with water by color or ink painting to present ink-free lines. Although boneless painting still has the feeling of "line", this "line" is a rendered effect or an "empty" effect, not a hook.
