He values learning from nature and visited all famous mountains and rivers，to sketch，imitate and sense；after all his pains taking explorations and practices challenging tradition，he finally established the unique artistic style of his own.
In He Tianjian's landscape paintings，there are both the very ancient green blue，elegant light red，and the free and bold ink and water. Based on his profound research into traditional techniques of ink and brush，he originated a series of new ink and brush expression skills with distinct personality.
