Chinese gongbi painting, or meticulous-style painting, uses meticulous brush technique that delimits details very precisely and without independent or expressive variation. Traditionally, it depicts figures, plants and birds in strong colors. Contemporary artists usually balance the colors with grays and simple backgrounds.
