Green landscape refers to landscape painting with stone green and stone green as the main colors. The green landscape can be divided into large green and small green, and the difference between the two lies in the use of color and the use of pen. This painting "Spring Clouds and Xiao mist" is the work of Wu Hufan, a famous painter in modern times, and belongs to the small green landscape. The visual effect of the small green landscape is fresh and unconventional, and it is closer to the pastel landscape painting in terms of technique, which has both traditional aesthetic taste and does not make people feel too decorative.
You can imagine "Spring Clouds and Xiaoxiao" as an ink painting, and you will find that Wu Hufan imitated the style of gao Kegong, a famous artist of the Yuan Dynasty, in his creation. Gao Kegong is good at painting landscapes shrouded in smoke clouds, and inherits the painting method of Mi's cloud smoke. Wu Hufan added a green and light dye on this basis, making the picture look more beautiful and elegant.

There is a very interesting detail in the painting, Wu Hufan uses red and green contrast. Contrast, also known as contrasting color collocation. In nature, red and green are quite harmonious, and it is very difficult to match red and green in paintings. These two colors have a strong visual feeling and are prone to a feeling of "jumping out".
Why Wu Hufan painted like this, of course, is to highlight the key points. Generally speaking, the visual focus is on the left side of the picture. However, the focus of traditional landscape painting is on the right side of the picture, and the ancients read and appreciate the paintings in order from right to left. Therefore, Wu Hufan uses contrast colors to emphasize the lower right corner of the picture is the focus he wants to emphasize. Flying waterfalls, misty clouds, and ancient trees with autumn leaves create a romantic landscape space.

Wu Hufan is not only a master of color, he is also a master of pen. The painting presents an elegant and handsome temperament, and each stroke is full of power. When painting mountain stones, Wu Hufan chose the painting method of cow hair and axe splitting. The two methods are used at the same time, and the pen is calm and flexible. His solid calligraphy skills have made him handy in dyeing. The whole painting looks neat and beautiful, which has a lot to do with Wu Hufan's skills in using the pen.
Pen and ink feelings, steady and beautiful, Wu Hufan attaches importance to pen and ink techniques, painting people imagine the beauty of the landscape. The ancients had not only technical requirements for landscape painting, but also artistic requirements. "Turning scenery into sentiment and integrating landscape and water into one" makes the painter pay more attention to the inner charm of the work. "Spring Clouds and Mist" presents the feelings of cherishing spring, loving spring, and retaining spring, from the fusion of scenes to the transition to the oblivion of things and me.
There are many antique works, but there are not many good works. This painting "Spring Clouds and Mist" presents a quaint and elegant beauty, and the exquisite beauty of pen and ink can be called an antique masterpiece. In the process of Wu Hufan's creation, he may have thought of more. Many times, people mistakenly think that antiques do not need to think, in fact, if there is no thinking, how can they understand the artistic characteristics of the previous masters through their works.
Wu Hufan imitates Gao Kegong's cloud smoke painting method, and also adds turquoise color, full of exploration spirit. Perhaps, Wu Hufan just wants to tell everyone that imitation is not copied and copied, and imitation also needs to be considered.
Through antiques, Wu Hufan borrowed his aesthetic imagery to express itself in traditional techniques. This is the artistic characteristic of Wu Hufan, and it is also the greatest charm of his works.
