Drawing method of branches in Chinese painting

The drawing method of branches in Chinese painting is as follows:

1. Choose a small wolf's brush, lighten the ink, and use the pen to draw the trunk lightly and flexibly from bottom to top.

When sketching the outline of the trunk, you should pay attention to the twists and turns of the pen and line, and draw the roughness of the tree surface. The branches of trees gradually taper from bottom to top, leaving a gap for the branches.

2. Adjust the ink, and the center strokes the pen. In the gap between branches, according to the principle of "the tree is divided into four branches", branches are added in different directions.

3. Use the center ink to draw twigs on the painted branches.

4. Lighten the ink, and add the leaves on the treetops with the method of clamping leaves.

5. Dip it in thick ink, and use the cross-cutting method to add to the trunk.

6. Use a small pen to add a little cyanine to the light ink to dye the trunk. Dip in cyanine, add water to lighten it, and draw the leaves with a pen on the side.

To paint bark, we should pay attention to the change of ink color, so that the texture of bark is deep or shallow, and the shades alternate.

the origin of Chinese painting

the word Chinese painting originated in the Han dynasty, which mainly refers to scroll paintings painted on silk, rice paper and silk and framed. Chinese painting is a traditional form of painting in China, which is painted on silk or paper with a brush dipped in water, ink and color. Tools and materials include brush, ink, pigment of traditional Chinese painting, rice paper, silk, etc. Themes can be divided into figures, landscapes, flowers and birds, etc., and techniques can be divided into figurative and freehand brushwork. Chinese painting embodies the ancients' cognition of nature, society and its related politics, philosophy, religion, morality, literature and art in content and artistic creation.

Chinese paintings are mainly divided into figures, flowers and birds, and landscapes. The reason why people are divided into figures, flowers, birds and mountains and rivers is actually the philosophical thinking of artistic sublimation. The combination of the three constitutes the whole universe and brings out the best in each other, which is the true meaning of art.
