Cooked rice paper or cooked silk is used for meticulous painting, which is made by brushing raw rice paper or silk with a certain proportion of glue alum water. Its performance is not affected by water. At present, there are many varieties of cooked rice paper, including clear water calligraphy and painting, ice and snow, calligraphy and painting, cicada wings, mica and so on. The cooked rice paper is thin and thick, and the alum water is thick and light. Generally speaking, thin people are suitable for painting light colors, while fat people are suitable for painting heavy colors. Cicada is the thinnest, and ice and snow are the thickest. In addition, fine silk can be drawn with gold stationery and various dyed paper as pure silk products, which can be divided into round silk and plain silk. Round silk, also called "precursor silk", is often used in ancient paintings. Flat silk is commonly used now. After weaving, it is mashed to make it flat, so as to reduce the gap between silk, and it is not easy to leak alum after brushing with glue alum water. This kind of silk has white and imitation old colors.
Fine brushwork ink
Ink painting has a unique position in China's painting. There are two kinds of ink: solid ink and liquid ink. The traditional ink used in Chinese painting is solid ink. Because of the different raw materials used, it can be divided into three types: oil smoke ink, lacquer smoke ink and Song Yanmo ink. Oil smoke ink-is made of tung oil and other oils burned into smoke. Its black is warmer, used for painting, and it is in harmony with other transparent colors. Song Yanmo-It is made of smoke from burning pine branches. Its black color is cold, and it is mostly used for calligraphy. Lacquer smoke ink-it is made of traditional lacquer burning smoke. Its black color is delicate and shiny, and it is also suitable for painting. In the selection, the delicate and moist blue-purple is the best. Take "top, top, tribute and selection" as the grade of ink. Liquid ink keeps the characteristics of oily smoke ink, because convenience is very popular now, but it is more suitable for freehand brushwork. Among them, "Tianjin Calligraphy and Painting Ink" and "Yidege Ink" in Beijing are the best.
Fine brushwork pigment
The pigments used in Chinese painting include plant pigments (watercolor) and natural mineral pigments (stone color), as well as chemical synthetic pigments. Plant pigments include cyanine, rouge, gamboge and so on. Mineral pigments include ochre, cinnabar, cinnabar, azurite, stone green, stone yellow and so on. The traditional Chinese painting pigments packaged in zinc tubes are mostly chemical synthetic pigments. These are collectively referred to as Chinese painting pigments.
Watercolor (plant pigment) is transparent, can be used in harmony with each other, has no hiding power, is unstable in color quality and is easy to fade. Stone color (mineral pigment) is an opaque color and cannot be used in harmony with each other. Strong hiding power, stable color quality and not easy to fade. Stone color and watercolor cannot be used harmoniously.
Fine brushwork pen
(1) Gou Xianbi
Meticulous painting uses the center to outline thin and even lines. Generally, a thin-pointed wolfsbane pen is selected. Commonly used pens include clothing pattern pen, Ye Jin pen, scarlet hair, scarlet hair, crab claw, wolf's paw, purple paw, etc.
(2) Dyeing pen
Commonly used dyeing pens are: big white clouds, middle white clouds, small white clouds and other soft brush pens. Pure wool pens are too soft and generally do not work well. Baiyun pen is better, because the outer layer is wool, and the middle part is hard and stiff, which can hold water and is elastic.
(3) Scrubber
Meticulous painting often needs to be painted with background color or painted in a large area, so it needs wool scrubbers or combination pens with various widths.
But now there is no need to pursue the grade of materials. You need to be familiar with Xuan paper ~ writing brush, and it needs to be of different sizes. Hook, you need to have a slightly harder nib, such as wolf hair. The smudge pen needs a white cloud pen, and the boxed ink can buy ready-made Chinese painting pigments. It's good for beginners to use these ~
I don't know if you have a painting foundation ~
You must learn to sketch before you draw meticulous painting ~ this is the modeling of meticulous painting. You can copy the sketch spectrum first ~ and then buy some paintings with step-by-step painting, because meticulous painting is a very delicate one, and there are many ways to use strokes, including rendering mechanism and effect. You can choose to buy teaching CDs ~ but according to my own learning experience, self-study is very difficult ~ many methods are difficult to master by self-study.
