Copying is an important way for us to learn Chinese painting, and copying focuses on pen and ink techniques, which is an indispensable basic skill for learning Chinese painting. Those who study landscape painting can only be applied to sketching by copying and mastering the basic techniques of using pen and ink. Now let's look at some of the tricks and methods of copying.

Copying usually has four contents

1. Pro

That is, in the face of other people's paintings or prints, according to the pen, ink, color, and chapter of their works, they are meticulously painted. Beginners, at the beginning, from easy to difficult, from simple to complex, step by step, first to some simple composition, after having experience, we must come to complexity.

For the time being, you can also break down a painting, first painting a certain part, such as a tree, mountain stone, or peak, etc., and then combining it into a full frame.

On the Probook selection:

First, to "work first and write later", we must start from the neat painting of pen and ink, figure out the structure of mountains and stones, and the interspersing of wood and wood, and honestly learn various brushwork and ink methods to lay a solid foundation. Don't be ambitious, learn to write freehand landscapes at the beginning, and pursue the so-called pen and ink interest, which will go astray.

Second, we must "go from near to far", according to our own favorites, and first learn the works of a certain family in modern times. If you like it, you are easy to be interested, and if you are similar in times, you are easy to accept. If you can learn from a teacher, it is better to have a teacher to point out in person. In the pen and ink technique, after touching some doorways, I copied the paintings of ancient masters.

Third, we must "go from specialization to Bo", and we must avoid going to the three and four, and try to stop at a shallow taste, so as not to end up not understanding which one is not deep. Shen Zongsai of the Qing Dynasty said in the "Compilation of Paintings on the Study of Mustard Boats": "When you first learn, you must desire its absolute similarity, and those who can mess with the truth are precious." The places where the Gaigu people saw the Law, where they were intended, and where they were intended and if they were not inadvertent, were all under the wrist when copying. "It can be seen that we must concentrate on one family in order to learn the real skills."

It is said that Zhang Daqianlin's Shitao landscape paintings, which even the most famous connoisseurs cannot identify, are collected by some museums as genuine Shitao. However, those who study painting must not be satisfied with resemblance to a certain family, and they also need to further copy the works of ancient and modern masters extensively, and only by absorbing nutrients extensively can they create their own appearance. Zhang Daqian's imitation of Shi Tao can be chaotic, but his creation is not like Shi Tao, and he is trapped because he once went through the famous paintings of the Tang and Song dynasties and worked hard, so he can become a generation of masters.

2. Back Pro

It is a step higher than the requirements for Lin, which requires the learner to study the original work carefully, memorize its pen and ink and chapter methods one by one, and then copy the original work behind his back.

There are two advantages to the back: one is to avoid the problem of drawing gourds in the face of the original work, and the other is to train the ability to memorize and store a rich painting language in the brain. Just as you must be familiar with many good essays in composition, learning to paint is also about memorizing the famous paintings that you have copied. If there are dozens of famous paintings that are familiar to the chest, then you can skillfully use various pen and ink and chapter methods when creating.

3. Intentional Pro

That is, copying a work does not require similarity, but to learn a part of it, or to take the brushwork, or to take the ink method, or to take the chapter method, or to take the style, or to take the mood as the ancients said, the publication of its intention is not in the signs of it \ The advantage of this copying is relatively free, you can get rid of the shackles of the shape, pursue the god-like, and truly integrate the strengths of a certain family into your own works.

This kind of work, as Shen Ying's "Painting Jing" says, is all in the Divine Society, "the eyes are knotted, and it is spotless." Similar but not similar, not similar but similar. "Always keep their own appearance, with a lot of creative components.

Generally speaking, after mastering a certain amount of pen and ink skills, the method of Yilin is adopted, and it can be adhered to for a long time. Even very accomplished painters often have to enrich their creations by constantly absorbing the essence of their predecessors through intentional presence. In the works of some previous generations of painters, we can see that there are inscriptions with "the brushwork of law so-and-so" and "quasi-so-and-so method", which belong to this category. In fact, it is still the painter himself.

4. Read the picture

Qing Dynasty landscape painter Wang Yuanqi said: "It is better to look at painting than to see." That makes a lot of sense. Painting is to solve the problem of "hand", and reading painting is to solve the problem of "eye".

Painting, only the eyes are high, can the hands be high. The pejorative term "eye master is low" should be said to be a normal phenomenon when used in learning to paint, because if the student painter does not have a theoretical level and no ability to appreciate, it is impossible to improve his ability to express.

Look at a painting, you must be able to identify where it is good and where it is not good, and you can say something: to do this, it is not possible to do it without hard work. Therefore, it is extremely important for a person to study the works of his predecessors more and more.

Only by looking more, can we absorb more; Only with high appreciation can we consciously overcome our weaknesses and make the expression method more and more perfect. Even if you are a beginner, you must first carefully study the performance characteristics of the original work, after some thinking, experience, and then paint, you must not look at a little, paint a little, blindly copy. Reading paintings must fall on a "thinking" word, and only by thinking more can we understand and benefit.
