《齐白石虾图》画中十六只虾形态各异，栩栩如生，淡墨绘成的躯体更显虾体晶莹剔透之感。
齐白石画虾可说是画坛一绝，灵动活泼，栩栩如生，神韵充盈，用淡墨掷笔，绘成躯体，浸润之色，更显虾体晶莹剔透之感。以浓墨竖点为睛，横写为脑，落墨成金，笔笔传神。细笔写须、爪、大螯，刚柔并济、凝练传神，显示了画家高妙的书法功力。画家写虾，来自生活，却超越生活，大胆概括简化，更得传神妙笔。
齐白石画虾堪称画坛一绝。齐白石画虾通过毕生的观察，力求深入表现虾的形神特征。
齐白石从小生活在水塘边，常钓虾玩；青年时开始画虾；40岁后临摹过徐渭、李复堂等明清画家画的虾；63岁时齐白石画虾已很相似，但还不够“活”，便在碗里养了几只长臂虾，置于画案，每日观察，画虾之法也因此而变，虾成为齐白石代表性的艺术符号之一。
齐白石画虾表现出了虾的形态，活泼、灵敏、机警，有生命力。是因为齐白石掌握了虾的特征，所以画起来得心应手。寥寥几笔，用墨色的深浅浓淡，表现出一种动感。一对浓墨眼睛，脑袋中间用一点焦墨，左右二笔淡墨，于是使虾的头部变化多端。硬壳透明，由深到浅。而虾的腰部，一笔一节，连续数笔，形成了虾腰节奏的由粗渐细。
齐白石用笔的变化，使虾的腰部呈现各种异态，有躬腰向前的，有直腰游荡的。也有弯腰爬行的。虾的尾部也是寥寥几笔，既有弹力，又有透明感。虾的一对前爪，由细而粗，数节之间直到两螯，形似钳子，有开有合。虾的触须用数条淡墨线画出。
取舍：对水中的虾，为表现出那种透视感，齐白石的线条有虚有实，简略得宜，似柔实刚，似断实连，直中有曲，乱小有序，纸上之虾似在水中嬉戏游动，触须也像似动非动。
