Technical work

You can shoot with a digital camera, but your hands must be steady.

Since the rice paper of Chinese painting is thin and easy to wrinkle, it is best to flatten it with a framing machine before shooting. Then the flattened Chinese painting is pasted on an iron plate and pressed with a magnetic stripe. The two studio lights are on the left and right sides in front of the Songli drawing board, illuminating the Chinese painting with absolute symmetry at 45 degrees, and the camera can be set up at the same time to shoot.

The term Chinese painting originated in the Han Dynasty, and the people of the Han Dynasty believed that the people of Zhongran Sakura were the ones who lived in the middle of heaven and earth, so they called Pi Zhao as China and Chinese painting as it"Chinese painting", abbreviation"Chinese painting"。It mainly refers to scroll paintings painted on silk, rice paper, and silk and framed. Traditional Chinese painting is a traditional form of Chinese painting, which is painted on silk or paper with a brush dipped in water, ink and color.

Tools and materials include brushes, ink, Chinese painting paints, rice paper, silk, etc., and the subject matter can be divided into figures, landscapes, flowers and birds, etc., and the techniques can be divided into figurative and freehand.

The method of painting Chinese painting beginners is as follows:

1. The way of holding the pen.

Chinese painting is the same as calligraphy. Although everyone's preferences are different, and there is no definite way to hold the pen, beginners must master the basics. When holding the brush, use the thumb and index finger to hold the pen shaft, in the shape of "dragon eye" or "phoenix eye", and the middle finger follows the index finger to hold the pen walking the mountain.

After holding the pen, the barrel of the pen generally does not exceed the first knuckle of the index finger.

2. Chinese painting brushwork.

Brushwork is formed by the line of brushwork. The line of writing includes three parts: starting the pen, moving the pen, and closing the pen. The pen should be intended to be the pen first, and the pen can be made into an image because of the image.

The pen should have strength, the ancients called "the power through the back of the paper", "the bone method with the pen", "the power to carry the tripod", is to emphasize the power of the pen.

3. Ink method.

Chinese painting, also known as ink painting, has always used many ink methods, and water is inseparable from ink method. The ink method is to use the action of water to produce different changes of thick, light, dry, wet, dark and shallow. Since it is ink, ink should be used as the body and water as the use.

Some common compositional rules

1) Unity of opposites. The composition should use the law of opposition and unity, and reflect the relationship between object and subject, far and near, virtual and real, sparse and dense, gathering and scattering, opening and closing, hiding and dew, black and white, large and small, etc. Opposites are changing, unity is balanced.

Only when these opposing systems are only one in the picture can it be called a good composition.

2) The theme is clear. In Chinese painting, there is only one subject, and the others are objects, which play the role of auxiliary and subordinate to the subject. The subject and the object are interdependent and integrated.

Only when the composition of Chinese painting is clear between the guest and the host, can the theme of the picture be clear, and the theme of the picture can not be "noisy".

3) Lifting and closing. "Beginning", "bearing", "turning" and "combining" are several key interrelated links in a Chinese painting. The so-called "rising" is the momentum and direction of the main body, and "bearing" is the movement process of increasing changes, enriching and enriching the levels, and guiding according to the main momentum and the rising momentum"Turn" is to take advantage of the reversal in order to add change and interest.

4) Yin and yang, virtual and real. It is a pair of contradictions, there is a virtual existence, and there is a real life, so as to achieve "vivid nature". "Real" refers to the real subject that stands out on the picture, and "virtual" often refers to the secondary, distant, faint, and foiled objects.

In Chinese painting, special attention is paid to the place of "virtual whiteness", "there is reality in the virtual, and there is emptiness in the real", which is often the key in the painting.
