What are the basic essentials of ink painting?

Ink should be used as a whole. Generally speaking, the "thick ink is broken off" is relatively complete, while the "thin ink is broken off" is due to the preconceived characteristics of raw rice paper, especially when the thick ink is 80% dry, it is broken with light ink or water, so that the initial painting is clearer.

When you are familiar with this method, you can consciously use its effect. A painting should have an overall design, and the ink color should pay attention to the arrangement of black, white and gray. Black is thick ink, gray is light ink, and white is white paper and space.

The gaps and blanks in the crowd should be well echoed. Another point must not be forgotten, the change of line density will also cause the effect of gray scale, and the line and surface should be matched reasonably. Especially when there are many people in the picture, don't look for too many small changes in the local area, but look for big contrast in a group.

Ink painting was all the rage in the Yuan Dynasty. Huang, Wang Meng, Zhenwu, known as "Yuan Sijia", are all masters of ink painting.

Huang's masterpiece Fuchun is based on his early life in Yushan, Changshu and his later life in Fuchunjiang. He often observes and experiences the changes of wind, rain, overcast, sunny, sunny and dusk on both sides of Yushan and Fuchun River. After careful imitation, he carefully studied Dong Yuan's and Ju Ran's landscape paintings, took the rough and refined, and created them with ingenuity.

This picture shows a beautiful tree, with alunite piled on the top of the mountain and chopped with an axe, which is close to the beautiful scenery around Yushan. It took seven years to complete, and the magnificent scenery in Fuchunjiang area in autumn was panoramic. You see, the mountains are undulating, the trees are sparse, the beaches are flat and shallow, and the rocky sandbars are densely arranged; Surrounded by mountains, thatched cottages, water pavilions and fishing ports, small bridges and small fishing boats.

Deep in the mountain stream, clear springs flow, which really feels like "people move with the scenery, and the scenery moves with people". The pen is thirsty and old-fashioned, and the ink is thick and full of energy. No wonder Wang sighed: "When I think of it, I will draw a pen, and God and heart will meet, and heart and spirit will meet." "I have been shining for hundreds of years."
