The choice of paper is very important when drawing Chinese painting, so what problems should be paid attention to when drawing Chinese painting with paper?

When we usually practice painting Chinese painting or writing calligraphy, we need to master certain painting and calligraphy techniques, and using paper is also a very important link. Proper selection of paper for painting and calligraphy is easier to exert its level, while improper selection often gets twice the result with half the effort, so you should choose carefully when buying paper for painting and calligraphy.

What kind of paper is used for meticulous painting and freehand brushwork, there are certain stresses, and each kind of paper has its own emphasis. Generally speaking, thin paper should be painted and thick paper should be written; Single Xuan Yi painting, folder Xuan Yi book. But this is not absolute, but also combined with personal habits to choose.

In my opinion, it is better for beginners to choose those cheaper calligraphy and painting papers to practice. For example, Jiajiang paper, Daqian calligraphy and painting, and white hemp paper produced in Jiaojiang County, Sichuan Province; Gan 'an Xuan and Koryo paper produced in Gan 'an County, Hebei Province, and Yunnan Yi paper produced in Yunnan Province. These kinds of paper belong to the category of practice paper, but they have the characteristics of raw rice paper, which can be said to be both economical and affordable for beginners. If you have a high level of painting or calligraphy and want to preserve your works for a long time, you'd better choose the special cleansing sheet, cleansing sheet or cotton clip produced in Jingxian County, Anhui Province. The above kinds of rice paper can present a wonderful environment of dripping ink and water.

When painting with raw rice paper, we should make full use of the characteristics of raw rice paper, boldly put pen to paper, focus on writing and emphasize interest. If cooked rice paper is used for meticulous painting, it is best to gently wipe it with soft paper before painting, so that the paper surface is more suitable for absorbing ink color. Semi-cooked rice paper should be used for calligraphy and painting, such as boiled stone with clean skin and tofu stationery with clean skin. This kind of paper can draw lines, the ink color is not too wet, and it is easier to control the pen and ink. As for calligraphy, it is generally used for preaching, so that you can get bright ink and vivid ink.

Therefore, if we want to draw a good Chinese painting, we must have enough knowledge and understanding of Xuan paper, so that our works can be more perfect.
