links
[edit]You might want to take a look through your external links section-- I found one that wasn't related to painting at all, and another that was in japanese and therefore unintelligible to almost any wikipedia user; I didn't look at all of them, but I'm sure that some better refrences can be found.

Vietnam
[edit]I believe this form of art (and depiction of the Four Gentlemen) is also practiced in Vietnam. Badagnani (talk) 02:14, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
Reference and awkward sentence
[edit]"Asian aesthetic writing is generally consistent in stating the goal of ink and wash painting is not simply to reproduce the appearance of the subject, but to capture its spirit." I have never heard of "aesthetic writing". I googled it and still found no other use of that expression. "Asian aesthetic writing" is broad and vague. Is there a specific resource stating that the goal of ink and wash painting is to capture the spirit of the subject? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.87.239.70 (talk) 15:19, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
I don't found the expression "aesthetic writing" as broad or vague, those are the collection of writings in which the main theme is to define beauty, or to state the way of achieving it. As for the goal of capturing the spirit, its one of the basic 6 principles of art. It's fairly common statement in East Asian painting that capturing the spirit and not only outward beauty; a few quotes and an article that discuss this things:
- Su Shi (1037-1101) "If anyone discusses painting in terms of formal likeness, /His understanding is close to that of a child."
- Chen Yuyi (1090-1138) "if the idea is adequate, do not seek for outward likeness"

Most Prestigious
[edit]"Most prestigious" is subjective. My understanding is that calligraphy is considered the most prestigious art form, at least in China. LuKesi (talk) 21:24, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
Sizing
[edit]"Ink wash painting is usually done on xuan paper (Chinese) or washi (Japanese paper) both of which are highly absorbent and unsized." Xuan paper can be unsized, sized, half-sized, or double-sized and all are used for painting depending on the desired effect. LuKesi (talk) 21:41, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
