How to teach yourself gouache painting? Are Chinese painting paints the same as gouache paints?

It's not the same. Chinese painting pigments: one of the main ingredients is plants, the other is minerals, poor permeability, opacity, strong hiding power;

Watercolor pigments: the main components of resin, glycerin, water and minerals, are water-soluble pigments, not tolerant of oil.

Gouache pigment: composed of powdery material, fixed with glue, with strong coverage.

The biggest difference between watercolor and Chinese painting is that there is a kind of glycerin in watercolor, the particles of Chinese painting are small, the water solubility is good, the watercolor is relatively large, and the water-soluble color is relatively poor. When painting gouache, I often start with the darkest color.

Have you ever studied sketching? If not, it is best to go to an art bookstore to buy a sketch book for beginners to read, and learn gouache painting at the beginning, and if you don't understand the basic principle, it is scribbling.

It's not the same. Traditional Chinese painting pigments are generally divided into two categories: mineral pigments and vegetable pigments.

The distinctive feature of mineral pigments is that they are not easy to fade and have bright colors, while plant pigments are mainly extracted from trees and flowers and have transparent colors. The main colors are as follows: 1. Mineral pigments 1, cinnabar 2, cinnabar (cinnabar extraction, the top layer) 3, silver vermilion 4, stone yellow 5, realgar (also known as male essence) 6, stone blue (split head, two, three, four green) 7, stone green (split head, two, three, four green) 8, ochre (deep ochre, light ochre) 9, clam powder (shell grinding, although not mineral, but classified in this category) 10, lead powder (easy to turn black, often replaced by titanium dioxide) 11, mud gold 12, mud silver 2, plant pigment 1, cyanine 2, garcinia cambogia (toxic) 3. Rouge 4. Magenta (imported, extracted from cochineal, although it is not a plant but classified as such) 3. Chemical pigments (different from boxed hoses, but also lumpy, produced by Jiang Sixutang) 1. Eosin 2, dark red 3, bright red 4, chrome yellow 5, sky blue.

Gouache pigment: composed of powdery material, fixed with glue, with strong coverage. Therefore, when painting gouache, I often start with the darkest color. You can cover it layer by layer, and if you have good skills, you can also paint it to the same effect as oil painting.

However, when the pigment is wet, the color is darker, and when it dries, the color becomes lighter. There are also purple colors such as rose red and violet, which are easy to turn out, so they are not used as a base.

It is different that Chinese painting pays attention to lines, and gouache pays attention to the expression of the surface, one is the Chinese painting method, and the other is the Western style such as sketching.

No, the paint brushes are all different.

It's different, but the effect is not the same at all.

How can it be the same? Gouache should be painted with a flat pen, and the color should be cold and warm, and the light and shadow should be paid attention to.

Gouache paint can not be painted Chinese painting, gouache is easy to smudge after encountering water, and it is easy to smudge after drying, but Chinese painting will add water to both rice paper and pigment when painting, so Chinese painting should use special Chinese painting paint, which cannot be replaced by gouache.

To paint Chinese paintings, you need to use professional Chinese painting paints, and you can use gouache for a small part of the covering points, the transparency of gouache is relatively low, and it will be directly covered on it when painting, which is not suitable for painting Chinese paintings. After the inheritance of Chinese painting pigments, it is more suitable for painting on rice paper, whether it is from the transparency and purity of the color is the best, gouache painting should be painted on the paper that specializes in gouache.

The paint of gouache is composed of powdery gum, relatively modern, the coverage is very strong, when painting is generally the darkest color to start the pen, when the pen should be carefully considered according to the structure and then under the pen, it is more difficult to change it in the later stage, including the gouache in the painting when the color is placed very elegantly, generally the gradient color is placed, the brighter color is far away.

After thousands of years of inheritance, the pigments of Chinese painting should be painted on special paper with a special pen, the pigments of Chinese painting are divided into mineral pigments and vegetable pigments, mineral pigments have cinnabar, ochre, lime, stone green, stone yellow, white powder, gold powder, silver powder, plant pigments have cyan, garcinia cambogia, rouge, magenta, etc., and the color should be modulated according to different pigment needs when painting. Ancient painters made their own raw materials for Chinese paintings, and the production process was very complicated, and after the production was completed, they had to divide the thickness and thickness, and the well-made Chinese painting pigments painted the paintings did not change color for thousands of years. The color palette of Chinese painting is very complex, and there are many kinds of colors that can be tuned.

Each pigment has its different function, try not to replace it, for example, after thousands of years of inheritance of Chinese painting, all materials are used for a reason, and each material should be used to its maximum effect when painting.

Chinese painting pigments are not the same as gouache pigments.

1. The pigment itself has different properties.

The painting of gouache and acacia tanse pays attention to realism, and needs to be bright in the painting process, so gouache has its own transparency, strong saturation, high moisture content, and needs to be mixed with water in the painting process.

At the same time, gouache often contains a small amount of oil to ensure that the pigment does not dry after opening the pigment, and the color needs to be adjusted directly with water.

Because Chinese painting needs to be painted on raw rice paper or cloth, it is necessary to mix the pigment with water, because the rice paper is not easy to cover, and the colors are easy to blend. And in order to frame the work, it is stored for a long time, and it is guaranteed that it will not change color after contact with water. Chinese painting focuses on the expression of artistic conception, rather than other paintings, and generally focuses on light, shadow, light and dark.

Its lines are soft, and the brush and ink change between twists.

It is precisely because of these characteristics of painting that the difference between the two pigments is determined. Chinese painting pigments must contain special gums, such as plants, minerals, etc. Therefore, new pigments such as mineral-containing pigments are generally used in Chinese painting pigments.

2. The properties and pigments are different.

Gouache is a kind of painting that is between oil painting and watercolor painting, which has its own nature and technique. Water-soluble pigments are used, and the pigment composition is the same as that of transparent watercolors.

Chinese painting pigments include gongbi painting and freehand painting, the main components are plant raw materials and minerals, poor permeability, opacity, and strong coverage; Watercolor pigments focus on realism and are water-soluble pigments that do not incorporate oil, with the main components including resin, glycerin, water and minerals.

Moreover, the pigment particles of Chinese painting are small and easily soluble in water, while the watercolor particles are relatively large and not as soluble as Chinese paintings. The use of Chinese painting pigments is complex, and it needs to be fused with water, ink, and rice paper to be natural and authentic, and it needs to be colored repeatedly. However, according to the characteristics of gouache painting, gouache painting is thicker and less transparent.

Can the pigments used for Chinese painting be replaced with gouache or watercolor paints? Why?

Hello dear, painting Chinese painting basically can not be replaced by other pigments, because Chinese painting pigments are painted on rice paper, the requirements for pigments are particularly high, other pigments are difficult to show the effect on rice paper, if there is really no Chinese painting pigments, you can use a little watercolor paint to replace. Gouache is best not to use. Because watercolor is relatively sparse and thin, it is easy to penetrate with rice paper; The gouache is too thick to dry out.

1. The pigments are different.

Gouache paints are composed of powdery materials, fixed with glue and mixed with water, and there is a small amount of oil in the pigment to keep the pigment not dry, and most of them are opaque.

Chinese painting, with its own specific pigments, is debugged with water. There are many types, which are generally divided into two categories: mineral pigments and vegetable pigments.

2. The characteristics are different.

When painting gouache paint, the color is mixed with water, the picture is easy to modify, and the coverage ability is strong. However, it is not advisable to revise it repeatedly, as the picture is easy to get dirty. When the picture dries, it will be grayer than when it was adjusted. This is because of the evaporation of the water.

The paintings painted with Chinese painting pigments are not easy to modify, and they are generally mixed with plates, but they are not easy to fade, the colors are bright, and they are easy to preserve.

3. The materials used to draw are different.

The gouache painting imitates the material of Zhaowang and paints with water, and the coverage ability is strong. It can be drawn on paper, walls, cloth, wooden boards, etc., which is suitable for those who are learning to draw.

The pigments of Chinese painting are mainly mixed with water, mainly painted on rice paper (raw Xuan ripe Xuan semi-cooked), leather paper and silk cloth, with poor coverage ability and easy intermingling of colors.
