How to pay attention to pen and ink in landscape painting

Ink can be divided into five colors: coke, thick, heavy, light and clear, which can't be learned for a while. It takes a period of practice and experience.

(a) Jiao Mo-that is, the developed ink is volatilized in the inkstone for a long time, and then used to draw extremely deep and prominent parts. It is a particularly dark part of the whole painting, black and shiny.

(2) Thick ink-refers to the blackness of ink, second only to Jiao Mo. Jiao Mo may be shiny, and thick ink looks dark and dull because of adding water. (3) Heavy ink-this is for light ink. It contains more water than thick ink and looks darker than light ink.

(4) Light ink-it turns gray after water is added, which is called light ink.

(5) Clear ink means that there are only some light gray shadows on the ink color, showing a vague image like morning mist and evening smoke.
