Stone Painting Method (I)

1.Physical Character

The Mustard Seed Garden Painting Manual calls stone "the bone of heaven and earth". Stone has no fixed form, either square or round, with hardness and heaviness as its main characteristics. In the painting of birds and flowers, stone often appears in the picture as the background of birds and flowers. The rough texture and varied shapes of the stones contrast with the flowers and birds and add visual weight to the picture. The combination of stone and water gives a fresh, quiet and relaxing mood, and also gives a natural harmony that combines strength and softness. Stone in nature in different geographic locations, there are lake stone, rock, rock. Taihu Lake in the water for the Taihu Lake stone, commonly known as rockery, the shape of different changes, the stone surface has a hole, more texture, to "thin, transparent, leakage, wrinkles" for the United States. The stone of the river for the rocky stone, rocky stone smooth and large blocks. The rocks in the mountains are rocks, which are rough and angular. In the bird and flower paintings, rocks can be used to give full play to the expressive power of dots, lines, surfaces and colors, as well as to express the painter's creative passion. (Figure 7-1, Figure 7-2, Figure 7-3)

2. Structure

There is no fixed form of stone, and it often appears in the form of stone blocks, stone bases, stone slopes, and stone slabs according to the quality of the stone in ideograms of bird and flower paintings. Stone is the whole of a stone; stone base is composed of more than two pieces of stone (see Figure 7-3); stone slope refers to the root buried in the ground, the shape of the slope type blocks; stone is a uniform thickness, the surface of the flat stone. (Figures 7-4, 7-5, and 7-6)

3. Method of Painting Stones

The method of painting stones in oriography or bird and flower paintings is very different from that of landscape paintings, in which the chapping of stones is a technique that expresses the macroscopic momentum of the mountain, while the stones in bird and flower paintings are expressed in close-up. Painting stone is the most important thing is to paint a good stone outline modeling, neither too much change, but also can not be hard and dull, there should be a rhythm of change. The general principle of painting stone is "stone divided into three sides", painting the three-dimensional sense of stone will be vivid. Specific painting methods are as follows:

Sketch method of painting stone, is based on the line to express the stone painting method. Generally use the wolf brush to outline, the brush should be mainly in the center of the brush, the brush should be smooth, reverse changes, light and heavy, Xu Difficulty both. The outline of the stone should not be too square, too round. The organization of the line should be intertwined, dense and sparse, wet and dry, thick and thin, thick and thin. In short, to avoid the monotony of the shape of the stone and ink.

After the completion of the outline of the stone shape, can be appropriate with a dry brush chapped stone texture, to increase its texture, or to adjust the "cloth white" with thick or light ink point moss.

The bird as the main body, the stone as the background, the stone should be painted bold and powerful, so as to form a contrast with the bird and flower in the presentation. At the same time, because it can be lyrical brush and ink, so "bold brush" is one of the key elements of painting stone. (Figure 7-7)

Splash ink method of painting stone can be a larger sheep brush, full of ink, lice, write and draw the shape of the stone. Splash ink painting method do not flat or parallel brush. In the Yuan Dynasty, Zhao Yu Fu Yun: "The stone is like a flying甶 wood like a box." The strokes should be applied according to the direction of the stone surface and the structure of the stone. Leave gaps between strokes from time to time. The strokes should be fast and slow, naturally forming flying white. Splash ink method of painting the stone is the most avoidable caution. The general structure and shape of the stone should be designed in the mind first, so that the ink can be counted in the mind, "no hesitation, no hesitation, no hesitation". (Figure 7-4)

Comprehensive method of painting refers to the use of hooks, chafing, points, lice, dyeing method of integrated techniques to express the stone. Ink before the heart still need to have the general structure and shape of the stone; ink after the pen on the situation. More ink on the pen, then splash ink point lice; pen on the water less, then hook line, chapped, rub, can also hook, chapped, point, lice staggered pen. Comprehensive method of painting stone flexibility, ink and brush performance is rich and colorful, well mastered is best able to reflect the ink and brush painting interesting, emotional expression of a method of expression.

4. Technique theory points: the abstract beauty of ink and brush

Mr. Pan Tianshou in the painting residue in the cloud ink and brush taken from the object, hair in the heart, for the image of the object, the heart of the trace." The ability to express oneself with brush and ink is a reflection of the artist's comprehensive training. Brush and ink shape the image, and at the same time, brush and ink is beyond the image, has an independent value of abstract form and beauty, which expresses the painter's thoughts and feelings, and represents the painter's individuality and temperament.

Introducing the technique of painting stone, while shaping the image of stone, the brush and ink of its own abstract formal beauty, in the writing of birds and flowers paintings play a vital role. At the same time, it should be especially pointed out that the stone painting needs to be "bold with the brush". The effect of "boldness" produced by the ink and brush can truly reflect the painter's ink and brush cultivation and personality, temperament.

Stone painting method (two)

Stone often appears in the painting of birds and flowers, on the one hand, it can play a role in stabilizing the picture, on the other hand, it can regulate the ink color of the picture, so that the picture's sense of rhythm or rhythm to strengthen.

The method of painting stones in the oriographic painting of birds and flowers is slightly different from that of the landscape painting. In landscape painting, the stone appears as a unit of localization, while in bird and flower painting, the stone occupies a very heavy weight, and emphasizes the sense of wholeness. In particular, the modern painter Pan Tianshou used stones as the basis for the formal composition of the picture, making full use of the spatial modeling of the stones to form a unique form of language, known as "Pan Gongshi". (Figure 4-49)

The ancients said, "The stone is divided into three sides to show its sense of body.

Stone painting steps (Figure 4-50):

Step 1, the tip of the brush dipped in ink, from the beginning of the shape, hooked and chafed combined with the painting of a large shape, the root of the stone is generally to draw some false.

Step 2, a large pen dipped in ink, the trend of the pen on the stone chapped, the texture of the stone to show, pay attention to the effect of ink and ink, thick and thin wet and dry.

Step 3, at the turn of the point of moss, pay attention to the changes in ink and brush. If you need color, you can wait for the ink to dry after dyeing blue or ochre color. Painting the stone to be a breath of fresh air, pay attention to the overall atmosphere and the effect of ink and brush.
