Han
Yu, born in Shih-ch'eng, Honan, was quite adept at sketching from nature.
He attained the position of chlh-hou within the Shao-hsing Painting
Academy and was said to have taught Lin Chun, another painter, how to
paint bird and flower as well as insect and wild grass subjects. Han Yu's
watercolor wash technique tends toward linearity rather than total
realism. His works are of the same calibre as his contemporary, Wang
Tsung-yuan. Han Yu's exact birth and death dates are not known.
