What kind of paper is special for drawing?

Xuan paper. Xuan paper is divided into raw Xuan, semi-cooked Xuan and cooked Xuan. Shengxuan has strong water absorption and hydrophilicity, and it is easy to produce rich Mo Yun changes. By splashing and accumulating ink, you can collect water and dilute ink, and achieve the artistic effect of leaving ink. Used for freehand brushwork. What students pursue in painting is this "changeable" interest in ink, which is determined when they put pen to paper, and ink permeates quickly, which is not easy for unskilled people to master. It is this magical variability that has attracted countless celebrity masters to explore in the pursuit of Mo Yun and change since ancient times, and has never stopped. ...

Cooked Xuan is coated with alum when it is processed, so the paper is harder than raw Xuan, and its water absorption capacity is weak, and the ink color will not spread when it is used. Therefore, the characteristics make cooked propaganda suitable for meticulous painting rather than ink freehand painting. Its disadvantage is that it will appear "alum leakage" or brittle crack when stored for a long time. Cooked Xuan can be reprocessed. Coral, mica paper, cold gold, sprinkled gold, glutinous golden flower tendon and peach tiger skin are all reprocessed colored papers. Health promotion is highly absorbent. When writing with light ink, the ink easily penetrates and melts. It is relatively easy to write in thick ink. Therefore, when creating calligraphy and painting, you need to master the shade of ink to be handy.

Semi-cooked Xuan is also processed from raw Xuan, and its water absorption capacity is between the first two. Yu Ban Xuan belongs to this category.

The simple way to distinguish between raw propaganda and cooked propaganda is to dip paper with water. Health propaganda is the time when the water is dispersed immediately, and cooked propaganda is the time when the condensation is basically unchanged. Half-cooked propaganda (also called boiling hammer propaganda) spreads slowly.
