Guo Xin is good at flower and bird painting, and his flower and bird paintings are elegant and exquisite. His birds or small birds, or playing, or flying, or gu pan, are very vividly portrayed. The picture often presents a mood of seclusion, distance and wilderness. In addition, Guo Xin's animal paintings are also very distinctive, in his paintings, animals are no longer fierce and vigorous, but cute.
Guo Xin said that in addition to the technical characteristics of Chinese painting such as pen and ink, personification and poetry are also the soul of Chinese painting. "There are paintings in poetry, and there are poems in paintings", which shows that painting needs to pursue the artistic conception of poetry. In addition to letting the viewer have an intuitive aesthetic feeling, the painting work should also make it gain an inner experience.
Guo Xin said that if the skill is the painter's "internal painting skill", then a painter's own academic cultivation is "external painting skill". Painting should not simply show off skills, but to enhance the "extramural skills", and constantly improve the height and depth of creative thinking, so as to go further on the road of art.
