我畫中國畫.

你怎麼說 flat wash?

This is a painting term meaning "no shading".

Is it something like ping tou or ping tuo?

謝謝

Please explain what you mean by "no shading" ?

Do you mean, you only paint the outline without shading in the details ?

Or, did you meant "no shadows" ?

In this case, "no shadow" would be 无影 (simplified char)

Thanks to both of you. I think this must be correct. píng tú.

(Shading is the creation of a graduated effect. http://screencast.com/t/Mjg4NTBlMDk
In Chinese painting, it is an important feature of gong bi painting.

It's not about "shadows". Chinese brush painting does not traditionally use shadows.
