The production of Xuan paper can be loosely described as an 18-step process, and a detailed account would involve over a hundred. Some papermakers have invented steps that have been kept secret from others.)
2- Chinese Bamboo Brushes for painting and handwriting. Bamboo brush bristles are generally made from animal hair, such as white goat hair, black rabbit hair, yellow weasel hair, or a combination of the three. Bamboo brushes come in many different brush-tip sizes and set combinations, from the finest-tipped tool to a thick round-pointed brush.
3- Chinese ink and wash: Inksticks (Chinese: 墨 About this soundMò; or ink cakes are a type of solid ink Chinese ink used traditionally in several East Asian cultures for calligraphy and brush painting. Inksticks are made mainly of soot and animal glue, sometimes with incense or medicinal scents added. Ink wash painting uses tonality and shading achieved by varying the ink density, both by differential grinding of the ink stick in water and by varying the ink load and pressure within a single brushstroke. Ink wash painting artists spend years practicing basic brush strokes to refine their brush movement and ink flow.
4- Chinese watercolor: Traditional Chinese watercolors are mineral and vegetable pigments, premixed with some kind of binder. The main feature of genuine Chinese watercolor painting is its luminosity and transparency and that's what vegetable and mineral pigments are all about. The purer the pigments, the more subtle their tones and brilliance will be.

♥ The two main techniques in Chinese painting are more academic style called kung-pi (gongbi) and in the spontaneous style hsieh-i (xieyi).
- xieyi" (寫意), This order style is also referred to as the freehand style. Ink and wash painting, in Chinese shuǐ-mò (水墨, "water and ink") also loosely termed watercolor or brush painting, and also known as "literati painting", as it was one of the "Four Arts" of the Chinese Scholar-official class. It uses tonality and shading achieved by varying the ink density, both by differential grinding of the ink stick in water and by varying the ink load and pressure within a single brushstroke. In the hand of a master, a single stroke can produce astonishing variations in tonality, from deep black to silvery gray. Thus, in its original context, shading means more than just dark-light arrangement: It is the basis for the beautiful nuance in tonality found in East Asian ink wash painting and brush-and-ink calligraphy.
- Gongbi (工筆): meaning "meticulous" painting, uses highly detailed brushstrokes that delimit details very precisely and without independent or expressive variation. It is often highly colored and usually depicts figural or narrative subjects. Gongbi requires drawing with fine lines first to represent the exaggerated likenesses of the objects, and then adds washes of ink and color layer by layer, so as to approach the perfection of exquisiteness and fine art. The practice of Gongbi is specifically on rice paper when sketching out the design and layout of the drawing. When using brushes to paint gongbi, there are specific types for contouring and coloring. There are four types of brushes for contouring. It is often practiced by artists working for the royal court. The gongbi style had its beginnings approximately 2000 years ago during the Han dynasty (206 BC – 220 AD). These paintings peaked out between the Tang and Song dynasties (7th to 13th centuries)
