Appreciation of Dong Shouping Red Plum Map:
This red plum is the representative work of Dong Shouping's "Zhu Hong Hong Mei" in its mature period. In the picture, the plum tree first draws the trunk and twigs with a lot of burnt ink, leaving the flowers blank intermittently. Draw petals with a slightly rotating brush and cinnabar. The water is properly controlled, transparent, fresh, suitable for shade and strong in texture.
The side flowers are even more ingenious. The first stroke is horizontal, the second and fourth strokes are slightly lateral, and the third stroke is positive. Zhu Mei, with its branches, has different shapes, either in bud or in full bloom. The composition and layout adopt Wang Mian's technique, and strive to shape the image of plum trees full of flowers and branches.
The arrangement of plum blossoms is just like the Puckilo of Weiqi. Each plum blossom occupies a favorable position and wins by density, but the composition is not confused by density, and the position management is meticulous and ingenious. Look at this "red plum", each plum blossom has its own posture, and the front, back and side of the petals are suitable for its own interests. The old stems and branches are twisted and vigorous, and the flowers are graceful. Staring at the picture, I still feel cold and fragrant.
