Chinese landscape painting

this is my chinese landscape painting.. the start of it
as you can see, i was not sure exactly what i wanted it to look like so i drew a lot of lines
when i found the composition that i wanted, i went over the lines darker
i then went over everything in yellow as an undercoat
pained the trees
starting to do the front trees
more front trees - then painted the rest - all done in acrylic paint
finished chinese painting. the white space is not paint, but the white canvas behind, a common chinese technique. notice the chinese temples now finished.
