The painter uses a pointed-tipped brush made of the hair of goats, deer, or wolves set in a shaft of bamboo. The basic material is ink, formed into a short stick of hardened pine soot and glue, which is rubbed to the required consistency on an ink-stone with a little water. The character of Chinese painting, like that of Chinese calligraphy, is closely bound up with the nature of the medium. Material & tools which traditional painter needs: In simple terms, there are two types of "guo hua": the first, known as "Gong-bi" or meticulous-style, is also described as court-style painting the second, known as "Shui-mo" or "xie yi" or freehand-style, is also called ink and brush painting, or "literati painting", and was practiced by amateur scholar artists.
