Friedrich Zettl began painting in the mid-1970s. In addition to portrait painting, he was primarily concerned with landscape painting. Initially, the technique focused on chalk drawings, watercolors, ink sketches, and then increasingly oil painting.

There were some attempts with Impressionism, but soon mainly Expressionism. Oskar Kokoschka in particular was formative in these early years.

When Zettl got the opportunity to study at the Central Art Academy in Beijing in the late 1970s, his elective was portrait painting. Only through research and writing his dissertation on xieyi painting did traditional landscape painting become the focus of his interest. He dealt particularly intensively with Huang Binhong. The confrontation with this exceptional artist was intensified by numerous copies of the painter.
