For Gongbi flowers and birds, color is especially important, not only whether the composition and shape are good, but also whether the color feeling is strong, because painting is for the public, and the high and low are not necessarily bad, but people like it is still crucial. And this Songhe picture "Songhe Yannian" work, is indeed a favorite painting in the hearts of the people, the Songhe represented in the painting is familiar to everyone, especially the intensity of the sense of color, more familiar and loved by the people, art originally originated from life, but also from life to refine, the color of Chinese painting is particularly important!
With the continuous development and change of people's aesthetic concepts and tastes, people's pursuit of colorful colors is also becoming increasingly strong. As a result, many painters have emphasized the need to "play the string of color", calling for the return of colorful colors to traditional gongbi paintings; It is believed that in the construction of the language of modern Gongbi painting, color is endowed with independent aesthetic value and expressive function in Gongbi painting, reflecting the rich, profound and diversified color characteristics of modern Gongbi painting.
The use and processing of color emphasizes the compatibility of Chinese and Western. It is undeniable that the integration of Chinese and Western painting is one of the important ways to promote the innovation of traditional painting forms, and color is the easiest entry point for Western painting and traditional gongbi painting in the expressive language. Because Gongbi painting has a lot in common with Western traditional painting in the expression of heavy color, it has greater adaptability and flexibility than ink painting, which can enrich the color of traditional Gongbi painting, thereby creating forms and expression techniques that are more suitable for the aesthetic taste of modern people.
"Songhe Yannian" is precisely under this premise, the grasp of color, the painter has an unusual performance, highlighting the integration of color, but also reflects the correlation of color, no color will be above other colors, but with its integration, compatible with all compatible colors, to fully mobilize the coordination of the entire picture. Because such a theme of "Songhe Yannian", in thousands of years of painting, are well-known popular painting works, in order to stand out, it is bound to adjust different impact in color, the use of color is strong, but also depends on the painter's own ability to control color, carry the initiative of the entire picture, which is the public theme to give a different perception.
When the artist paints traditional brush paintings, he has his own unique point of view, he understands that the traditional subject matter has been accustomed to it, whether it can make a difference, it depends on the ingenuity of the composition, coupled with the matching of colors, it is possible to obtain different effects, to base on the original in color, make full efforts, extract a different kind of feelings, the color of the tone is not available to others, which makes the picture different from others, otherworldly.
