Scroll Painting

Diao Chan (貂蟬) one of China's 4 beauties.
I chose these pieces. Why do I like them? I like them because they're very detailed and they're beautiful. They feature mostly women because I find that women are beautiful subjects and I connect with them better than just mountains. There are a couple different styles here. The two Chinese paintings at the top feature more flowing lines and spontaneity. Whereas the two below those are Japanese and are more straight laced but have very detailed detail. :) I like the bottom one just cause its pretty. Pretty awesome! Ah, bad pun but you get it.
