This training taught me to capture the random organic configurations of\u00a0trees, mountains and water and to seek to portray the essential contrasts found in any subject.\u00a0This is especially evident in the calligraphic line quality used to render the figures and\u00a0landscapes I produced in undergraduate school. The traditional Chinese landscape technique that\u00a0I was taught, known as \u201cXieyi\u201d, is characterized by a dynamic contrast between dry brush\u00a0application and varying shades of ink wash. Color is added in a rather deliberate fashion ranging\u00a0from transparent to highly opaque.\u00a0Having spent much of my childhood immersed in beautiful country settings such as my father\u2019s\u00a0farm in Pennsylvania, summer camp in Canada and boarding school in rural Vermont, I was\u00a0particularly drawn to nature from an early age. My Chinese teachers reinforced this propensity.\u00a0As time passes I see how this influence is coming full circle in my focus on earth conscious\u00a0themes.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong><em><br \/>\nClick on the page below for greeting cards of traditional Chinese painting:<\/em><\/strong><\/div>\n<div><em><br \/>\n<\/em><\/div>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/fineartamerica.com\/profiles\/alyssa-hinton.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1071\" title=\"China Page\" alt=\"traditional Chinese painting experience\" src=\"https:\/\/alyssahinton.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/ChinaPageHorizHalfSizeArial21.jpg\" width=\"950\" height=\"2047\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alyssahinton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/ChinaPageHorizHalfSizeArial21.jpg 950w, https:\/\/alyssahinton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/ChinaPageHorizHalfSizeArial21-590x1271.jpg 590w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/alyssa-hinton.fineartamerica.com\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: none;\" title=\"Art Prints\" alt=\"Art Prints\" src=\"http:\/\/fineartamerica.com\/marketing\/LogoFineArtAmericaBlueShape.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All of my work over the past 30 years has been influenced in some way by traditional Chinese painting\u00a0techniques and related principles, which I studied for two years in\u00a0Beijing as a teenager.
