How to use seals in Chinese paintings, and how to make seals in Chinese paintings, please tell me

The rules of printing in Chinese painting and calligraphy works are equivalent, generally divided into two categories, the so-called introduction of the first seal and the paragraph of the seal, the first seal is mostly with the shape of the print, the content is mostly the expression of the author's interest of the words, the first seal can be used or not, such as use, usually only used for formal paintings, sketches, exercises usually only use the paragraph to recognize the seal. If the title is at the top or bottom of the picture, the first seal generally falls at the top of the title (the upper left end), but it is not appropriate to cover the text. If the title is on the right side of the screen, the introduction should be in the appropriate position on the left side of the screen.

The style seal is generally a square seal, and occasionally there is a circular seal; After the signature, if the initial seal is used, the seal is usually made into two pieces of the same size - one yin and one yang; Because the number of calligraphy and painting works is printed, pay attention to the use of single and not double.

Generally, one or two stamps are stamped after the inscription, and the size is equivalent to the character of the inscription. It is best to have a yin text and a yang text. In addition to the signature, the seal also has the functions of embellishment, reminder, gas connection, and filling the gap.

The inscription is printed with knowledge, and I believe it will be helpful to you to read more of the inscriptions of some great painters.

The first chapter should be printed with a long strip, gourd seal, or oval seal, not with a square seal, but between the first word and the second word, and the distance between the two square seals should be separated by one chapter in a row. In addition, it is necessary to fill in the white according to the picture, do not block the place where the gas comes out, and the inscription should be slightly larger than the print. Wu Changshuo, come to Chusheng to pay attention to the seal, you can take a look at their works as a reference.

After the completion of the Chinese painting, it is necessary to make a seal, and the seal is also artistic, and if it is handled properly, it can make the picture icing on the cake, otherwise the picture will be destroyed. Serious considerations when stamping are:

First, the seal can not be symmetrical. For example, after the left side is sealed, it must not be printed on the right side of the same height. The symmetrical arrangement of the seals will make it too eye-catching and dilute the attractiveness of the picture.

Second, it is advisable to have an odd number of seals. One or three sides on the screen have a better effect and are also easy to handle. The two sides are acceptable, if the four seals are difficult to achieve good results, such as one side of one side, the other side of the three sides is difficult to balance, such as two sides of each side will appear symmetrical.

Third, the seal should have changes in size, vermilion and white. If the picture uses several square seals of the same size, and the same Zhu or Bai script, it will feel monotonous.

Fourth, the seal should be arranged according to the function of different seals. The seals of the Chinese painting institute can be divided into name seals, initial seals and corner seals. The name seal is the author's surname, first name, number, etc., such as "Wu", "Junqing", etc., and is placed at the author's sign-off.

The common name of the corner chapter is "lifelike"; There are idioms, such as "flower fragrance bird language", etc., which are placed in the lower corner of the picture, or left or right, but not left and right. The opening chapter has a year name, such as "甲戌"; There are ancestral place names, such as "Shaoxing"; There are auspicious words, such as "longevity", etc., most of which are in the upper right corner of the picture. The corner chapter is larger and more dignified than the first chapter, and is generally square.

The first chapter is smaller, mostly rectangular, oval, gourd-shaped, etc., and more of them are Manbai and fine Zhu.
