Combination of fine brushwork and freehand brushwork is an important Chinese painting technique , which boasts both the elaborate style of fine brushwork and the simplicity style of freehand brushwork .Such technique was also applied in the construction of traditional Chinese gardens .The fine brushwork in traditional Chinese gardens was expressed by the delicacy of the structures and decorations ;while the freehand brushwork was expressed by the poetic arrangement of the scenery .The application of combined fine brushwork and freehand brushwork technique in the traditional Chinese gardens could help to create the artistic effect of blending imagination and reality , stillness and motion , density and sparseness , openness and closure , and tensity and slackness .[ Ch , 12 ref .]
