Admire the painter Cai Maoyou's "Listening to the Lotus", a large brush into a lotus leaf occupies the lower part of the picture, the pen and ink are free, the circle is naturally round, vivid and flexible. When you decorate the petals and lotus leaves in between, when you circle with a bright red pen, the moisture is more saturated, and the flowers are moist. The treatment of the flower hearts is dyed with garcinia dots. Heavy ink dry pen point, the center of the vertical point, round and thick, the idea is slightly thick, the point with the length of the flower whiskers, staggered, the flower heart is radial, the kingfisher looks down to find it, a show of style. This work depicts the splendid shape and elegant beauty of The Lotus, and also shows the poetic beauty of the Lotus' otherworldliness, especially with a unique ecological aesthetic concept to create an artistic conception, highlighting the pure and introverted, elegant and pure spiritual character of the Lotus.
The painter is quite ingenious in the layout of the plot of "Cool World", choosing a vertical composition to present the image of the lotus pond, which is pleasing to the eye, and a pool of lotus gas overflows the picture. In the picture, two white lotus flowers with buds waiting to bloom or slightly blooming in the thick ink color rendering of lotus leaves show a sense of purity. A bird stops on the lotus stem to enjoy the scenery, with a cute posture, clinging to the lotus stem, eye-catching. The whole work of lotus leaf imagery is exaggerated, cleverly deformed flowers and leaves superimposed, chaotic and orderly, there are layers, thickness, clumps, linearity, water halo, ink chapters, etc. to achieve fusion and synthesis, so that the lotus flowers stand tall, grow upwards, ink show spirituality, ink rhyme.
Reading "New Lotus Returning water", it shows his unique way of using color, water, ink, hue do not hinder, cold and warm contrast, thickness and thin contrast, and appropriate integration of texture effect and painting tone, his performance of a lotus leaf mottled effect can best reflect this color characteristic. What is particularly new is that the leaves rendered with a large amount of colored ink hold up pieces like the morning sun, like red lotus flowers filled with fire, and they raise their faces and open up lively, as if they are cheering and singing. The school of fish swims through the water, which adds a sense of movement and vitality to the picture, which helps to form a rich and varied freehand atmosphere, and is a breakthrough in the tradition of heavy ink and light color and emphasis on literati painting.
