The sketching of Chinese landscape painting has its own characteristics, which is different from the landscape sketching in Western painting. Chinese landscape painting not only attaches importance to the selection and description of objective scenes, but also attaches great importance to the understanding and reflection of subjective thinking on scenes, emphasizing the author's thoughts and feelings. The author reflects his own thoughts and feelings through the description of the scenery.

First of all, we must choose the location of the sketch, in line with their own interests in order to touch the scene, if you sketch in a place where you are not interested in the slightest, even if you spend a lot of effort, you will not achieve good results. Barely painting, but dry and truthful, is far from the requirements of Chinese landscape painting, which is meaningless.

Chinese landscape painting sketching should be carried out in four steps: "traveling", "enlightenment", "remembering" and "writing".

swim

Every time you go to a place to sketch, don't see a landscape that is very moving, immediately sit down to paint, and put the scenery you see on the painting folder truthfully, this is not a Chinese landscape painting sketch. First of all, you must "swim".

For Chinese landscape painters, sightseeing is to observe in depth and meticulously. A mountain, you run up and down the mountain, in front of the mountain and after the mountain, from the high, low places from different angles to observe its image, analyze its characteristics, make a comprehensive understanding of it, when painting really know.

Mountain views vary with time, season, sun, rain, and more, and have different flavors. Of particular note is the change in sunny days and rain. Sunny days are green mountains, bright water, heavy trees, light clouds, unobstructed, clear layers; while rain is different, all the scenes are hazy, rain and mountain color tree shadows appear from time to time, seeing very subtle changes in the blur, which is itself a wonderful ink painting.

In a nutshell, going deep into life to paint landscape paintings focuses on the word "deep". It is necessary to observe deeply, to understand deeply, and to stimulate the enthusiasm for painting in life.

realize

It is to think deeply and summarize and refine.

"Tour" only solves the comprehensive understanding of the scenery. Further, it is necessary to think deeply and analyze, and after grasping the characteristics of the object of expression, it is necessary to store the essence, from the surface to the inside, to conceive and establish ideas thoughtfully. "Intended to be written first" is what it means.

The artistic conception is rooted in the basics of "travel", that is, the artistic conception is brewed from life. Nature is beautiful, and the intention is to synthesize the elements of beauty and sublimate it into a more satisfactory and ideal scenery. "Enlightenment" is an important process in which objective scenes are reflected on subjective ideas and reorganized into artistic images. The scenery that has been artistically processed should be more concentrated and beautiful than the original. The "enlightenment" in landscape painting is a necessary process to "get the heart in the heart".

However, in the process of landscape sketching, "enlightenment" is often ignored, and the objective scenery is faithfully put on the picture, or only a simple compositional cut, a chapter arrangement, which is not enough for the landscape painter, lacking a timeless artistic conception, lacking touching charm, and can only be a landscape illustration. The artist starts from real life, through the "mysterious enlightenment" to convey the reality to a new artistic conception, this kind of spiritual transmission, should be the painter's highest pursuit, this kind of artistic development, from the painter's thoughts and feelings, should be a sense to reflect.

"Enlightenment" is to raise the perceptual understanding of objective scenes to a more concentrated rational understanding. In this way, in the scene of complicated scenes, what to paint, what to discard, what to emphasize, what to highlight, many difficult problems will be solved.

remember

It consists of two meanings. One is recording, the other is memory.

Every time you go to a scenic landscape, there must be many scenes that make you feel fresh and arouse the enthusiasm for creation. At this time, it is necessary to make the necessary records, sketch its image, if the structure is complex, some important parts should also focus on structural recording and close-up. This kind of sketching does not seek formal integrity, but seeks detailed records, especially for engineering buildings, must be clearly structured, correct perspective, and every time you go out to sketch, the workload in this regard is very large.

When sketching, it is especially necessary to record scenes with characteristics, so that the sketch can fully show local characteristics. For example, trees are very common scenes, but the geographical conditions are different, and trees will also have local characteristics, which cannot be ignored when sketching. The arbutus trees along the Fuchun River have evergreen and thick black leaves, and the trunks are coiled and colorful in a light ochre color.

Mountains are the most common objects of depiction for landscape painting, but the mountains in various places are different, as Guo Xi of the Song Dynasty discussed: "Song Mountain is a good stream, Huashan Mountain is a good peak, Hengshan Mountain is a good don't xie, Changshan is a good column, and Taishan is particularly good main peak." Tiantai, Wuyi, Luhuo, Yandang, Min'e, Wuxia, Temple of Heaven, Wang Wu, Lin Wei, Wudang are all famous mountain towns in the world, the treasures of heaven and earth, the residences of the Immortal Grottoes, the wonders of the gods, and the wonders of the gods. If you want to rob it of creation, you must not be good, you must be diligent, you are more than full of food, and the calendar is listed in your chest. "Huashan is a good peak, it is true, it is tall and majestic, and the peaks of Huangshan Mountain are more beautiful and colorful." For the characteristics of various peaks, careful observation can obtain their spirit.

We must record it with a pen, but we need to remember it with all our hearts. Because the most detailed record is also rare that its spirit becomes its own "chest mound". We have to be handy, we can draw with a pen, and the ink can show its characteristics.

write

The above-mentioned "tour", "enlightenment" and "memory" are all written preparation processes. Generally speaking, the first three processes are well prepared and "writing" will be handy. "Writing" is to reflect and express the beautiful taste that you feel hidden in the natural world with pen and ink.

The key to writing is the artistic conception, and the most common experience of ancient painters is "intention to write first". It may seem like a cliché, but it is an extremely important lesson. "Writing" is the form, the technique, the so-called "pen". "Writing" reflects the "meaning", but the "intention" and the "pen" cannot be separated, and the two should be highly unified, that is, they require new ideas, and they also require a wonderful pen, and the pen and intention can be painted satisfactorily. "Pen and ink in the contemporary era" is the most important point of the "writing" link.
