Writing style: Chinese painting is the same as calligraphy. Although everyone has different preferences and there is no formula for writing, beginners must master the basic essentials. When holding a pen, the thumb and forefinger hold the pen holder in the shape of "longan" or "phoenix eye", and the middle finger holds the pen holder along the forefinger. After holding the pen, the pen holder generally does not exceed the first knuckle of the index finger.
Fingers are solid, palms are weak, wrists are flat, and five fingers are Qi Li, so it is natural to run and retract. Calligraphy is more rigorous, painting is more flexible, you can hold the pen straight and hold it slightly higher, so you can rotate the nib flexibly, and the wrist, elbow, shoulder and body cooperate with each other to move and rotate effectively.
Chinese painting brushwork: brushwork is composed of strokes. Writing includes three parts: starting a pen, raising a pen and collecting a pen. Starting to collect the pen, going against the Tibetan front, naturally implicit. When using a pen, you should first pay attention to the pen and let the pen image according to the meaning. The pen should be powerful. The so-called "penetrating the back of the paper", "using the pen with bone method" and "moving the tripod" of the ancients emphasized the skill of using the pen.
There are differences between middle wing, side wing, rear wing, trailing wing and scattered wing. The central pen is the most important, and it is the skeleton of Chinese painting brushwork. Center: Hold the pen straight to make the middle of the pen firm. The nib is basically in the center of the pen mark and is cylindrical. Side front: the nib is slightly tilted to the left and right, so that the waist of the nib changes greatly at the same time, and sometimes there is a sawtooth effect of one side light, which can simultaneously express lines and faces.
