Traditional
Chinese painting can create a fascinating decorative effect by
combing the strips of scrim before they are laid on wet silk. The thicker lines
that cross the design were produced by the gathered threads.

Except this, Chinese
landscape painting can also do the helix effect by twisting the
strips of scrim before they are laid on wet silk the other feathery lines were
created using threads and feathers.

Use the right way you are used to do, we need
best Chinese paintings.
