There are many kinds of bamboos, such as those around Lijiang River, with dense roots, long stems and gradually bent and drooped tips. Therefore, when painting bamboo, we should first draw the general direction of bamboo forest by feeling, draw the density and brightness of bamboo leaves with oblique and short strokes, then dye the dark parts with light ink, and finally dye them with light green, and then cover them with a thin layer of light green after drying.
Pay attention to the structure when drawing bamboo leaves, and also pay attention to using a pen. The shape of a leaf has a word, a middle word and a fractal. Draw the leaves in groups when painting, otherwise it will be messy. Each group should not only conform to the growth law of leaves, but also be beautifully organized.
Bamboo plays a very important role in flower-and-bird painting and landscape painting. It symbolizes noble character, quiet personality and unyielding integrity, and is loved by painters of all ages. Painting bamboo emphasizes "painting with books", that is, painting bamboo with calligraphy and pens, so painting bamboo is also called "writing bamboo".
Bamboo leaves are long and narrow, round and blunt near the petiole, and the leaves are thin and sharp. When drawing bamboo leaves with ink, choose a double brush or wolf's hair brush with appropriate size, dip it in ink, adjust the nib, write the petiole on the paper with the pen in the middle, then write the leaves with the pen in the front, and drag the front to write the tip quickly when writing the middle of the leaves.
Cross boat style: a leaf goes out horizontally, like swaying with the wind, and like a boat in the water going up and down with the waves. Crescent-shaped: this method is often used by bamboo in rain, indicating that rain and dew make bamboo leaves bend and droop.
