2, Baishi is an old seal, and the characters are mostly rectangular, horizontal and vertical, with a sense of correctness and stability. However, it is often broken with an oblique pen, so that an acute angle relationship such as an oblique angle and a triangle is formed in the middle of the plane, making the whole flat but not rigid and full of changes.
3. The old man Qi Baishi made a seal, and the pen and knot formed a good contrast and unity. It hides its head and protects its tail with a pen, which is very traditional. However, the rectangular knot forms a plane, and the horizontal and vertical strokes conform to the geometric division of modern planes, which is full of modern sense of composition. To sum up, I said, "the language is traditional and the clothes are fashionable."
4. Mr. Li Shinan said that Qi Baishi painted with pure ink, one thing and one ink. The same is true of Guan Yu Baishi's old seal brush, whose thickness changes regularly, that is, the lines are generally straight and simple, and the thickness is even. However, in individual main strokes, or partial lines, or sudden use of heavy ink and thick strokes, or fine short paintings, the whole work has an "eye", which is clear, rhythmic and changeable.
5, Baishi's old seal brushwork is simply not complicated, and its eye-catching taste lies in the old and heavy lines of the pen itself, such as iron pestle, which has the gas of iron. Turn harder with a pen, such as breaking your thigh and holding a strong bow, which is powerful.
6. Although Baishi Lao made a seal, it had the meaning of "Qi" in the Qin and Han Dynasties. In other words, it starts and ends with a pen in many ways, and it is a stone tablet. Therefore, its lines cross the front and squat down to give birth to a solid and calm feeling.
7. Baishi is always printed with soft and hard, and I think soft is better.
8. Baishi's old seal script also uses a flat pen from time to time. It uses the so-called "Qi" and "Li Yi". But because of the slow writing and heavy breath, I am not thin.
9. Most of Baishi's old seal script works are big characters, but some seem to use small pens as big characters. When the pen is heavy, the ink dries when it is put away. Due to good control, the contrast is delayed.
10, Guan Yu Baishi's old seal, fundamentally, adopted a straightforward and simple writing method and attitude, that is, using the word "Kai" to write (referring to the meaning of "Kai" in the Qin and Han Dynasties, that is, the official meaning at that time), which is also in line with his experience and pursuit of entering the art from the folk.
Return art to the people, return art to the original, smooth, straightforward, simple, clear and frank.
