He used Realism. :D
many techniques were used in his painting "Self Portrait in the Studio". Brett Whiteley, like most artists, often painted with oil paint on canvs. But he often mixed different techniques like for instance oil, paper, graphite and tempera on plywood. The types of mediums used in Brett Whiteley's paintings was mainly oil and the colour blue as he really liked the standing out of the colour. Also, Brett whiteley used texture like his hair. He has used many different colours but mostly the colour blue.
It's most likely Chinese Calligraphy, not Japanese. They would use it because Feng Shui comes from China.
The Chinese refer to the equipments as the "Four Treasures," ("文房四寶" in Chinese) they are the brush, ink (or ink stick), the paper, and and the inkstone.
Mostly oil on canvas. Experimented with chalk and charcoal. Also often used a mixed media technique where he would add extra material for more texture. e.g. Small amounts of human hair to a self-portrait.
Japanese calligraphy is based off of Chinese calligraphy and shares many of the same characters and means. In calligraphy paintings, both focus heavily on landscapes; however, the Japanese style is more graphic, and uses black outlines and has animated/personified qualities to its clouds and water. Chinese calligraphic painting is much more calm and realistic. Overall, they both use similar paintbrushes, physical postures, rice paper, many of the same characters, and the same type of inks.
I dont think color was a great impact to him. He liked to use different medias for his works. He even once used brain for the well-known Alchemy
What is called mixed media. He made oil paintings and added other material. One example: Oil, charcoal, plaster, collage, and resin on canvas. Ink, hair, cloth ...
Traditional Chinese paintings started around 4000 BC. They use expressions of shade and texture, are on Chinese paper or silk, are mainly black having traces of color, and have a seal or calligraphy.
