One of the main tools of Chinese painting. It is also a special tool for China's painting and calligraphy. Generally, it can be divided into wool (soft hair), wolf hair (hard hair) and double-stranded bristles (soft hair mixed with hard hair). In addition to wool and wolf hair, there are pens made of ferret hair and rabbit ridge hair. The names of the pens are: Zhu Lan, Baiyun, freehand brushwork, landscape, plum blossom, Ye Jin, clothing patterns, etc. Sheep wool is relatively soft, with large water absorption and poor elasticity, so it is easy to make contrast rendering. Wolf hair and rabbit hair are hard and elastic, and drawing and rubbing are quite healthy. Doubled both brush is a combination of rigidity and softness, and it uses wood blocks to play the role of a wolf's hair.
Brush can be divided into long front, center and short front according to the stroke length, and its performance is different. It is easy to draw beautiful lines before long, dignified and heavy before short, and both before medium and short. According to the size of the nib, brushes are divided into three types: small, medium and large. All models should be ready. How sharp the new pen is, it is only suitable for drawing thin lines, and the effect of rubbing, wiping and knocking the old pen is better. Some painters like to paint with a bald pen, and the points and lines drawn have a vigorous and simple beauty.
black
One of the main tools of Chinese painting. There are two kinds of ink: block ink and ink. Chinese painting ink (engraving ink) can be divided into three types: oil smoke ink, lacquer smoke ink and Song Yanmo due to different raw materials. They are made of tung oil, raw lacquer, roasted pine branches, yellow gelatin, musk, borneol, bark and pomegranate rinsic acid. These raw materials can prevent colloid corruption, ink bursting and deformation, and make ink more colorful. Generally, oil smoke ink should be used in calligraphy and painting to make it dark and shiny. Song Yanmo should draw people with beards and feathers. Lacquer smoke ink is bright in color and suitable for painting, and its characteristics can last for a long time. For convenience, modern people generally use better ink to create paintings and calligraphy.
Pigment-two traditional types of pigments.
● Mineral pigments are blended from ores, with heavy colors and strong coverage. Commonly used are:
(1) Stone Green: It is usually in powder form, and it must be mixed with glue when used. According to the color, azurite can be divided into Touqing, Erqing, Sanqing and Siqing. Touqing is the thickest and greenest, and gradually becomes thinner and lighter.
(2) azurite: Its performance and use are almost the same as azurite. Azurite is divided into cyan, cyan, cyan and cyan. Cephalosporin is coarse, and it is not easy to dye evenly. It needs to be dyed several times.
(3) Zhu Jing: Zhu Jing is also called Chen Jing. Cinnabar is best in bright colors, and some are made into ink. Zhu Jing should not use azurite and azurite.
(4) Zhu system: (Zhu Biao) Zhu is finely ground, mixed with glue, and floats in the orange.
(5) Ochre: also known as vermilion, produced from hematite and light brown. At present, most of ochre is refined into water-soluble colloidal blocks, which are not covered.
(6) White powder: it can be divided into lead powder, clam powder and chalk. Clam powder is made by processing and grinding mussel shells in the sea. After a long time, it is easy to "lead back" and turn black, and it can turn white after being gently washed with hydrogen peroxide. As for chalk (white clay powder), it is commonly used in ancient murals and does not change color for a long time. Plant pigment is transparent and thin, and has no covering performance.
● Commonly used plant pigments are:
(7) Cyanine: blue lagoon is made of Polygonum hydropiper leaves or blue, and then blue pigment is extracted, which has a wide range of uses, and Garcinia can be turned into grass green or tender green.
(8) Garcinia Garcinia: Brawly in the southern tropical forest, a hole is drilled from its bark, and a gelatinous yellow liquid flows out, which is accepted with a bamboo tube and can be used after drying. Garcinia cambogia is poisonous and cannot be imported.
(9) Rouge: Crimson pigment made from three plants: red and blue flowers, madder and purple stems. However, rouge has faded with age. At present, it is mostly replaced by magenta.
