The excellent tradition of Chinese painting is an inexhaustible treasure, and the works handed down from generation to generation are good models for us to learn. It is difficult to copy the original works of our predecessors, so we can find some pictures with beautiful prints. First read the painting, appreciate the mood of the work, study the composition of the work, the shape of the trees, understand the work of the pen and ink techniques, and then calmly move the pen. After finishing the painting, you have to compare it with the model picture again and again, find out the faults, and modify it, so as to improve it constantly.

One hand to life

The trees in nature are colorful and rich, and they are a good teacher for us to learn how to paint, which is what the ancients called "mastering the creation". Mountains, parks, streets and alleys, trees in front of the house, can be used for us to sketch against. First carefully observe the tree growth, branch interspersed and branch relationship, and then put down the pen. When drawing, we should consider adding and deleting, and make clear what to draw and what not or less. To emphasize the contrast, pay attention to the sparse, dense, light and dark, before and after the change. Sketching can be done with a sketchbook or a clipboard, and you can use pens, pencils and charcoal pens. After the drawing, you can use the brush on rice paper to work into a Chinese painting. After skillful can also be directly with a brush on rice paper to sketching.
