   paintings express the tranquility and calmness in the whole
   picture; very soothing to look at. Tang Yin studied
   landscape painting under Chou Chen, but later surpassed
   him by far. He used a moist brush which gave his paintings
   a close-woven and balanced quality.
   Critics have noted the affinities of his work to that of
   earlier painters. He painted figures, both male and
   female, bird and flower paintings, and pictured towers and
   pavilions.
