Why can we leave out the words 'which are' in the second sentence, but not in the first, when the structures of both are the same?

1. he had an unusual face which was painted white.

2. he made a movement which was stiff and mechanical.

Because ' painted ' is a past participle while ' stiff ' is an adjective.
