Spring is coming, see the beautiful flowers blooming, do you want to take the brush to draw it? Don't know how to draw, it doesn't matter, let's refer to the famous freehand painter Mr. Xiao Lang's apprentice draft -
In the long-term teaching of flower and bird painting, Mr. Xiao Lang has mastered all the teaching methods of flower and bird painting. Whether it is white drawing, brushwork, large freehand, small freehand or half-work and half-writing, he can master it with ease. But Xiao Lao's most diligent work is his small freehand painting method. The basic essence of Mr. Xiao's freehand painting method is to highlight a "writing" character, and each stroke of it is full of calligraphy charm like a brush character. Its detailed portrayal mostly uses "center forward", and when writing the body and hair feathers, it uses flanks and partial edges, but it can be powerful, dashing and subtle. In addition, Mr. Xiao is good at "color ink interoperability" and "color ink combination". He sometimes uses ink as color, sometimes color as ink, and sometimes color and ink are mixed, completely according to the actual artistic performance needs to be determined. This is the flexibility of Xiao Lao's technique, and it is also the place where his technique is superior.

Xiao Lang taught compound petal flowers to start with single-petal flowers, and he invented "to write a hundred flowers, camellia should be the brunt of it". Start with painting camellias, the "steps" are wide and short, one step up, one up and one up to the high mountains and rivers. Xiao Lang said that everything has a basic shape, such as a flower, brilliant, mottled, colorful, always will not run out of the orange, yellow, green, blue, purple; such as petals, or stacked or heavy, or staggered or twisted, or large or small, will always come down to one or two forms. After years of research and observation, camellia can summarize a hundred flowers.
Xiao Lang concluded: Camellia flowers are five-petaled flowers, most of the five petals in the flowers, often painted hollyhock flowers, loofah flowers, gourd flowers, begonia flowers are five petals, master the painting method of camellias, the mastery of these similar flowers is easy. Then there are medium-sized flowers with five petals, such as shrinking can become plum blossoms, peach blossoms, apricot blossoms, and pear blossoms. There is also the fact that camellia is a single petal, which extends to the complex and can be painted to paint more complex multi-petaled flowers such as moon season, hibiscus, peony, and peony.

Xiao Lang taught painting with sixteen character tips: "One big and one small, one more and one less, one long and one short, one vertical and one horizontal." This kind of induction is actually the most concise language of the ever-changing and unpredictable composition of flower and bird paintings. Xiao Lang further said that painting is to create contradictions in the picture, for example, if you paint a large leaf, you must draw a small leaf, and the size on a picture is a pair of contradictions. When there is a contradiction, it is necessary to resolve the contradiction, so it must be unified, it must be balanced, and it must be coordinated. If it will only create "contradictions" and will not unify contradictions, then the picture will be blunt and not integrated. If a painting does not have a "contradiction", then the painting has no contrast, no virtual reality, let alone "danger".

Drawing is to find a door to steal, but it is not the same as trickery. Xiao Lang said that to learn Chinese painting from a teacher, you must be like a teacher. Not even my own teacher, let alone anything else. However, he never let the students stick to him alone, but advocated learning more from others. Again, for some stylized things, you must follow the rules. Xiao Lang said that everything that is stylized is a summary of the essence. Just like learning Peking Opera, if you don't get the stylized things through, you can't use them flexibly, how can you break the program and how can you innovate if you can't use them flexibly? The kind of person who opposes stylization at the beginning is the one who lacks basic skills, that is, those who refuse to work hard, who refuse to work hard, who are basically not solid, such painters always fool themselves first, and then fool others.

Xiao Lang devoted himself to the innovation of small freehand flower and bird paintings, and Xiao Lang said clearly: "To paint your own things, the feelings are your own, the interest is your own, and the pen and ink must also be your own." In short, paint your own paintings, express your feelings, and walk your own path. Here is added to Xiao Lang's words: "I have learned to paint and taken a detour, but I will never let students take a detour again; I have some experience in learning to paint, and I will never retain the slightest for future generations." ”
This is a spirit of being a good teacher, full of seriousness, strictness and responsibility, this is the scholar's demeanor, this is the qualification of a good teacher, and it is also the confidence of a scholar!
