Thank you, Allan:
You are a connoisseur for Chinese painting. Many of today's young Chinese artists who follow modern western trend, are not good as you.

"Tu Meng of the Tang dynasty (618-905) developed 120 expressions to describe different styles of calligraphy and establish criteria for them. The first 15 from his list, with explanations and English interpretations by Chiang Yee:

ability, mysterious, careful, carefree, balance
unrestrained, mature, virile, grace, sober, well-knit, prolix, rich, exuberant, classic "
