Ink is a cool color, and the painting composed of five kinds of ink should have a cold feeling, and the tone should be gloomy. A good painting is good at contrasting and harmonizing the cold tones of white (blank) and black, thus giving people a sense of temperature between cold and hot. Moreover, good cigarette ink is not dark ink. The ink produced in ancient Huizhou has always been loved by literati, and Huizhou ink has the reputation of not exchanging gold.
Everything that is smooth and reflective is called bright. Good ink has a black luster like paint, so it can be called bright black, which won't make people feel gloomy.
According to the depth of ink, it can be divided into five kinds of ink, namely, Jiao Mo (original ink)-thick ink-heavy ink-light ink-clear ink;
According to the material of ink, it can be divided into three types: oily smoke smell, loose smoke smell and lacquer smoke smell. Oil fume ink is made of tung oil or burning tobacco; Song Yanmo is made by burning pine branches, while lacquer smoke is made by using China raw lacquer as fuel and adding glue to the burnt smoke scale.
When expanding the use of data ink, we should pay attention to the following points:
1, Zheng Mo
Liu Gongquan has the so-called "pen is right", so is grinding ink. If the ink is not straight or oblique, it is neither elegant nor even.
2. The stress is even and moderate.
When grinding ink, the force is too light and too heavy, too fast and too slow, and the ink will be thick and uneven. Too light force, too slow speed, wasting time, floating ink; If the force is too heavy and the speed is too fast, the ink will be very thick and light. The correct way should be to "push hard", the intensity should be moderate, and don't rush it.
3, the concentration is moderate
Even the light pen in calligraphy and painting works is written in thick ink. The difference lies in the amount of ink dipped, not the depth of ink. If the ink contains too much water, the pen will spread quickly when it touches the paper, forming ink clouds of different sizes and shapes.
But don't overdo it. It's terrible to write with ink as thick as half jelly. You also need to remember to use white paper, especially thick ink. If you use colored paper, it can be a little lighter.
4, with grinding.
The ink must be freshly ground, because if the ink is left for more than one day, the glue and coal will gradually separate, and the ink will be dull and not durable, so it is easy for Su Mo to fade when used as a book. Some ready-made inks sold in the market are sticky and sticky, some are too low in concentration, paper is easy to melt when dropped, and there are many preservatives, which are easy to damage the nib and should not be used.
5, storage box
After grinding the ink, take it out immediately, and don't put the inkstone pool, otherwise the glue will easily stick to the inkstone pool, and it will not be easy to take off when it is dry, and it can also prevent the water from softening and lose both sides. You can't expose yourself to the sun to avoid drying. So it's best to put it in a box, which is the best way to prevent moisture and avoid direct sunlight and dust.
