What Xuan paper should I use to draw Chinese painting? What Xuan paper is used for Chinese painting?

Chinese painting is a very general concept, which can be divided into freehand brushwork and meticulous brushwork. Freehand brushwork pays attention to artistic conception, painting is rough and refined, and is mostly rendered in ink and wash. The key point is the harmony between water quantity and pigment or ink, which is more abstract. I'm not familiar with meticulous painting, but what I can basically know is that meticulous painting is heavy, colorful and pays great attention to details. Colors need to be rendered many times, and an ordinary finished product needs at least 20 times of dyeing. Sketch is the basis of learning meticulous painting. If you change to the language of ordinary brush painting or blackboard writing painting, you need to draw a line draft, while freehand painting is unnecessary, and you will not regret it after writing.

Only by understanding the basic concepts can you choose a good paper. If you want to draw freehand brushwork, you need to let ink spread naturally on paper, so you should use bio-propaganda, which is very soft and easy to absorb water, and is the first choice for painting landscapes. Secondly, half-cooked rice paper is mostly used to draw flowers and birds, because flowers and birds also pay more attention to modeling. A complete health promotion is not easy for beginners, and it is easy to have embarrassing situations such as colored balls or ink balls. Semi-cooked rice paper allows ink to spread on the paper without emitting. This word is often used in Chinese painting, that is, the ink is too hairy on paper, which is very friendly for beginners and can avoid the picture being too dirty and difficult to control.

Finally, cooked propaganda is a special paper for meticulous painting. Compared with raw propaganda, cooked propaganda is hard, the paper is thick and does not absorb water. Only in this way can we stand the repeated coloring of the brush and render a wonderful picture.

I hope my experience can help you. If you are interested in Chinese painting, you can ask me to know about it, but I am not familiar with meticulous painting, so I can only speak a little. I mainly study freehand brushwork.
