It is a traditional way of depicting rocks – if you have ever seen the method in the Mustard Seed Garden book, that is very useful. Another wonderful book I treasure discusses the 3 faces very well and it is how I learned to think about rocks – I have taken the explanation from this book for you.
Oriental Painting Course
Wang Jia Nan and Cai Xiaoli, with Dawn Young
Think of rocks as having 3 aspects:
1 front part, facing the sun, is dry and rough
2 side, in shadow, is wet/shaded
3 top, is thin.
This gives rocks a 3 dimensional affect. A side brush technique is used, and rocks are given different textures with specific brush techniques. These you can research, as many books like the ones above, give much detail. Good luck!
