Analysis on techniques of yellow landscape painting

In the long history of painting in China, stippling, as one of the traditional methods of landscape painting, is constantly changing and evolving. As a master of traditional landscape painting, Huang's "pointillism" not only inherits ancient brush and ink, but also absorbs and transforms it according to his own needs, which has undergone great changes. With his unique pen and ink language and unprecedented spiritual perspective, Huang promoted the position of "point method" in his landscape painting to a realm.

First, the characteristics of Huangshan water painting "point"

In the long history of painting in China, stippling, as one of the traditional methods of landscape painting, is constantly changing and evolving. "Point method" occupies a large proportion in China's landscape painting. With the continuous evolution of landscape painting, all kinds of "point method" have formed their own different characteristics. As a master of traditional landscape painting, Huang's "point method" inherited the ancient people's pursuit of pen and ink. In addition, Huang is also a landscape master with a spirit of seeking change in his pen and ink creation. Therefore, his "acupuncturing method" is based on the ancient methods and has been greatly changed according to his own needs. The "point" of Huang landscape painting is unrestrained, beautiful and changeable, full of vigorous vitality and pen and ink expression.

Huang once said: "there are many changes in the method of painting, and dots can also be used for painting." The ancients didn't say that, I learned it from sketching. " 【】 Visible is a precedent in the history of painting. In his paintings, no matter whether the "dots" are big or small, the pen is very moist and full. "Huang's landscape paintings use many points, and the shape of the points has many changes. There are big dots, small dots, semicircle dots, broken pens, nail heads, coarse ink dots, light ink dots, coarse ink breaking light ink dots, light ink breaking coarse ink dots, and even some key points. Its use point can be described as unprecedented in ancient and modern times, enjoying everything and reaching the realm of immortals. " 【】 Secondly, the rhythm and speed of the dots are different, and some dots are vigorous and dignified, so they are slow; Some of them are dry, so they are faster. Moreover, the yellow "dots" are relaxed, flowing and powerful, with smooth lines, rich stone charm and powerful pictures. Huang said in his inscription: "Painting is heavy and moist, but light is brushwork, moist is ink color, and pen and ink are deep and vivid." [] shows his pen and ink pursuit. Moreover, the application of "point method" in his landscape painting pays attention to the forgetting and blurring of the scenery. In the blur, his brushwork of "point" is applied to paper, and the brushwork clearly ensures its charm and independence in the picture, thus integrating the lines and surfaces in the picture, which is rich and dense, without losing clarity. The painting scene is full of charm and natural beauty, which makes the viewer feel the powerful gas field and artistic appeal of its picture.

Second, the use of "point" in Huangshan water painting

Discuss Huang's pointillism, this chapter mainly talks about his most representative works in the Black Age in his later years. The "dots" of yellow landscape painting are mainly used to shape the scenery, make the picture harmonious, and make it not too sparse or too dense. Then, through the techniques of re-painting, accumulation and blooming, density and blank space, and reasonable combination of face and line, a complete landscape painting creation is formed, and the rhythm and rhythm of the picture are connected in series. The sensory effect of landscape painting was enhanced, and a pioneering landscape appearance, namely "vigorous and colorful" Jiangnan meteorology, was discovered, which caused a strong discussion in the landscape painting circle at that time. The application of Huang's "point method" in gardens can be roughly divided into the following three categories:

First, Huang's "Ma Dian". The shapes of these points are all expressed in a very dense style. Its punctate, or face or block, or round or square, has a strong smell, so it is called "pockmark". This point is thin or thick, or round or square, with different volumes and shapes, and mostly appears as lumps of different sizes and outlines of rocks and slopes. In the figure, the directions of points are mostly the same, with horizontal points and vertical points. When it is a horizontal point, most of the points in the diagram are horizontal points, and when it is a vertical point, most of the points in the diagram are vertical points. This proves that Huang's use of "point" in his works is more regular and consistent, and there will be no disorder and irregularity in the use of "point", so his works are unified, coherent and full of aesthetic feeling.

Second, the "horizontal point" is yellow. Nowadays, horizontal dots often appear in landscape paintings, but in the Huang Dynasty, the "horizontal dots" in his landscape paintings are very different from the traditional "horizontal dots", with unique style and high recognition. The so-called "Binghong Hengdian" is composed of many short ink lines, and this short ink line is powerful and steady, with roughly the same direction and vivid jumping. This "point method" is mostly used to express the trees and vegetation on the mountain, and often appears in the rock structure to express the dense and lush forest, full of vitality and vitality.

Third, the "dendritic point" is yellow. The word "Dendritic Point" came to my mind in the process of observing and learning Huang's acupoint method, so I called this acupoint method "Dendritic Point". It is so called because the shape of this "point method" is like a curved branch, which often appears on the contour line of the mountain or at the important structure of vegetation on the hillside, like a picture woven by branches. Although this kind of "dendritic point" is curved, it is full of elasticity and strength. Just like branches, it plays an important role in outlining and depicting the structure and improving the spirit of the picture. This kind of "dendritic point" which is as elastic and powerful as a branch is essential.

In a word, various "point methods" play a brain-like role in Huang's landscape creation. With his unique pen and ink language and unprecedented spiritual perspective, Huang promoted the importance of "point method" in his landscape painting to a brand-new realm and height, which played an important enlightening role in the creation and techniques of landscape painting in later generations.

Third, the beauty of "point" in Huangshan water painting

The image of "point" in Huang's landscape painting is very subjective, so his landscape painting is also very different from his predecessors. The "dots" in his paintings are thick or thin, straight or curved, dry or moist, and some are dark and deep, chaotic and irregular as night; Some pictures use elegant "dots", but they are also bright and fresh, full of ethereal, like a ray of morning light shining in the mountains, full of vitality.

The "dots" in yellow landscape paintings seem to be chaotic, but they also have a magnificent atmosphere. The dots are dense and bright, with a sense of rhythm, sometimes dense, sometimes loose, sometimes rapid, sometimes lazy, sometimes powerful, sometimes gentle, sometimes extensive, sometimes nuanced, like fresh life, full of the beauty of life. It is precisely because of these that Huang's landscape paintings present rich and colorful aesthetic tastes.

In Huang's landscape, the aesthetics of "point method" is nothing more than the word "Qiao". In his pictures, the word "Qiao" can be reflected everywhere, not only his "point method", but also other technical elements, all of which are inseparable from "Qiao". His landscape paintings have raised the expression of artistic conception and personal subjective feelings to a brand-new height, which has never been achieved before. Based on his many years' experience, Mr. Huang skillfully used all kinds of unique pen and ink techniques, among which the most unique one was the "luteal point method", which really was such a "point method" and described this wanton landscape painting in his mind. At first glance, the "dots" in his works always give people a random and chaotic initial feeling, which can only be detected after careful study. This seemingly casual pen and ink hides the evolution and innovation of Chinese painting.
