The situation of ink painting on rice paper with a brush is closely related to the material of rice paper, the concentration of ink, the speed of pen transport and the amount of ink dipped.
Second, how to write ink on rice paper?
1, materials of rice paper
Xuan paper can be divided into raw Xuan, semi-cooked Xuan and cooked Xuan according to the degree of water absorption. Shengxuan has strong water absorption, and it is easy to produce rich Mo Yun changes, which are difficult for unskilled people to master. If the Xuan paper you choose is raw, it is more likely to be inked.
Cooked rice paper is processed on the basis of raw rice paper, and the preparation of sticky alum is added to make the paper tougher. Therefore, the biggest advantage of cooked propaganda over raw propaganda is that it is ink-free, suitable for meticulous painting, and can withstand layers of dyeing, and the ink color will not spread. It is suggested that beginners use cooked propaganda when choosing Xuan paper, which can greatly reduce the occurrence of ink painting.
Semi-cooked publicity is made from raw publicity, and its water absorption capacity is between the first two. "Jade Edition Publicity" belongs to this category. Friends who don't like cooked food promotion can also try semi-cooked promotion.
2, the concentration of ink
Ink concentration is also one of the main reasons that affect ink. If the inking speed is fast, you can consider "thickening" the ink in the process of mixing with clear water, that is, don't add too much water, and then try to click on a corner of the writing paper and look at the inking speed and size range: if the inking speed is still fast and wide, the ink needs to be thicker, and then you can add some ink appropriately; If the inking speed is slow and the range is small, you can dilute it appropriately, that is to say, add a little water. At the same time, when adding water, it is recommended to use ink drops (also called water drops).
Another situation is that the ink itself is not very strong. At this time, we can pour the ink into the inkstone without covering the lid, or pour the ink into a small dish to increase the contact area with the air, which will accelerate the evaporation of water in the ink, and the ink will become thicker after a while.
3. Pen speed
In calligraphy, if there are too many pauses in the writing process, it is easy to ink, so the speed of pen movement is also part of the reason that affects ink.
The ancients often said that words are like gods. In fact, writing is fast, which can greatly reduce the speed and scope of paper printing.
Similarly, if the writing speed is too slow, the ink may stay on the paper for a long time, which may increase the occurrence of ink retouching.
4. How much ink did you dip in?
If the ink is too full, it may lead to serious ink painting when writing. At this time, the amount of dipping ink can also be reduced appropriately to reduce the spreading degree of ink on rice paper.
In addition, if waste rice paper or other ink-absorbing materials are gently covered on the characters, the excess ink can be absorbed immediately after writing, and the degree of ink diffusion can also be reduced.
