How many strokes are there in Chinese painting?

There are six kinds of brushwork in Chinese painting, namely, the middle wing, the back wing, the trailing wing, the broken hairpin and the flying white wing.

1. center: the center, that is, the tip of the conical brush, is always located in the center of the pen during the operation of the brush. The central pen is the primary feature of Chinese painting brushwork. Its characteristics are: full brushwork and rich connotation. Soft outside and rigid inside, very expressive.

2. Side front: The pen in front of the side is placed horizontally or obliquely. At various angles with the paper, the pen tip is not in the middle of the ink line, but on the edge of the ink line, showing the effect of flying white.

3. Backstroke: Backstroke is a method of running brush in the opposite direction relative to the forward direction of forehand position. The resistance of strokes to the front increases, the front of strokes converges and diverges, and the change of tightness is different from that of strokes along the direction. It is characterized by blunt brushwork, penetrating the back of the paper, but lacking softness. Don't use it often, enough is enough.

4. Drag the front: drag the front, that is, pour the brush on the paper and drag it. It is characterized by natural transformation and high speed. Under the requirement of accurate figure painting, forward dragging is easier than other methods, and the method is practical and simple. The disadvantage is that the pen is floating, and there is no feeling of penetrating the back of the paper.

5. Broken hair and leaking marks: The method of using a pen according to natural phenomena and marks is a variation of the center pen, thus enriching the performance of the center pen.

6. Fei Baifeng: This brushwork is transformed from the flying white in the calligraphy pen. It is characterized by a loose and hairy pen, which looks like a dragonfly, but in fact it is vigorous, masculine and introverted, loose and spirited, and has an endless feeling.

Extended data:

The so-called brushwork, that is, the method of writing and painting with a pen, is a unique method of using lines in Chinese painting. China's paintings and calligraphy are mainly represented by lines, and the tools used are all sharp pens. To enrich the line stippling of calligraphy and painting, we must first attach importance to writing and master the methods of writing, such as weight, speed and integrity. This is the so-called "brushwork".

Chinese painting is a traditional painting form in China, which mainly uses brush, soft pen or finger, and paints on silk or rice paper with the color and ink of Chinese painting. It is one of the four great arts of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Chinese painting has its own obvious characteristics.

Pay attention to "vivid charm", not stick to the appearance of the object, but emphasize the expression of the author's subjective interest. Chinese painting emphasizes "expressive form" and pursues a feeling that "beauty lies between similarity and dissimilarity". ?

Pay attention to the charm of pen and ink, and the requirements for brushwork are: flat, round, staying, heavy and changeable. Ink method requires that ink be divided into five colors: coke, thick, heavy, light and clear. ?

Pay attention to the "brushwork method", not to the focus perspective, and not to the influence of the environment on the light color change of the object. ?

Pay attention to the blank layout and the "momentum" of the object.
