Chinese painting is an amazing technique that allows you to create a three-dimensional and realistic image of flower petals with one stroke. This floral design looks like a real work of art.

But despite its apparent simplicity, this technique requires high technical skill and repeated practice. Practice, especially since now we all have time for this - spend it usefully!

How to repeat a manicure using the Chinese painting technique? Here are some visual video instructions for you.

We list the important nuances that are worth considering when honing the skill of Chinese painting in order to get the desired result:

What to draw with? Choose gel paint with a high pigment content. Regular gel polish is 100% not suitable for this purpose - don’t even try it. For such a design, use only highly pigmented gel paints and gel pastes.

How to apply the drawing? The best choice would be a synthetic brush with soft bristles of medium length and density. So, a brush that is too thick will pick up too much paint, and your strokes will be messy.

If you are interested in this technique, you have a chance to master it at the highest level.
