Qian Songkun (1899.9~1985.9), contemporary painter, a native of Yixing, Jiangsu Province. He once served as the president and honorary president of the Jiangsu Provincial Academy of Chinese Painting, the chairman of the Jiangsu Provincial Artists Association, the executive director and consultant of the China Artists Association, a deputy to the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth National People's Congress, and one of the main representatives of contemporary Chinese landscape painting.
There is a law for painting, but there is no definite law for painting. There is a law in the drawing method, but it is impossible to use the fixed formula of the law. Subjective efforts should conform to objective needs and conditions, "make a concrete analysis of specific things" and "use different methods to resolve different contradictions." Painting should also abide by this principle.
Qian Songlan's works
Writing objects, waking up does not matter which is difficult or easy, there is no life experience, flukes are similar, the reverse is not similar, it is difficult to paint. In fact, there are generally many mistakes that are not familiar with life and draw wrong.
Chen Dayu paints chickens
For example: Draw a rooster to forget its weapon, a pair of distances. Draw the head of the bird, the head is drawn too big. The three claws in front of the bird's feet are drawn to the same length, and the bird's eyes are born under the corners of the mouth. The long black feathers on either side of the crane's back are painted as tails. The bird's wings are drawn too short. Gooseneck and duck neck have certain twists, but they are painted soft and boneless, like rubber tubes. The cat's forehead is wide, and its eyes, nose, and mouth are concentrated, but it is painted like a tiger's head, and the reverse side of the tiger's head resembles a cat's head. Children have large heads and concentrated eyes, noses, and mouths, but they are drawn like adult faces. Painting houses, according to Chinese painting habits, most of them are below the horizon, and the eaves and wall foot lines should be tilted upwards or close to the horizon, but the reverse side will be painted farther and farther down, becoming anti-perspective. And so on, and the "not naturalistic" communication cannot be used as a mistake. As for the systematic exaggeration of Romanticism, it is another problem. But Romanticism is also based on the characteristics of real objects.
Qi Baishi works
Freehand flowers, hook leaf tendons should take advantage of the point leaves are not dry when the hook out, more flexible, if the weather is dry and hot, or slow at hand, when the leaves have dried, what to do? It can be applied to the leaves with water and wet the hook tendons, which has the same effect. Therefore, on the shanshui method, if you want to be thick, you can also use this method when the layers are rounded without the feeling of stagnation and turbidity. The rubbing concentration is not enough, wait for drying and then wet and then add rubbing until satisfied.
Peach branch squirrel figure Qian Xuan (yuan)
Draw the hair of squirrels and apes, and spread the tip of the pen to have a fluffy feeling. Draw a tiger, after the outline is outlined, you must first paint yellow (add Zhu Zhen or with black), take advantage of the fact that it is not dry, and then use dark ink to draw stripes, so that the markings and the base color are combined without floating, and finally use a small pen that spreads the tip of the pen slightly. The Silla-san people paint bird feathers, also with broken pens. Qingteng and the Eight Great Paintings of Birds use a writing pen, and the two techniques are different, and the effects are also different, each with its own advantages. The Eight Greats are writing pens, Silla is written with part-time work, and there is also a kind of work pen, which uses double hooks, called "fine hair pieces".
Bada Shanren paints birds
It is easier to draw birds than animals because their body posture changes less. The birds parked on the trees are all on the claws, and special attention should be paid to drawing the claws of the birds.
Li Kuchan paints eagles
Painting birds and beasts should pay attention to the different personalities of each bird and beast. For example, the sparrow is the most alert, to draw its look of looking east and west. Another example is that the eagle is fierce and composed, and the crane is dashing and clean. Sheep are different from horses, and horses are different from donkeys. And so on, and so on, and it must be analyzed in depth.
Ren Bonian 'Tit Diagram》
Painting sparrows, cold and summer are different, you have not seen Ren Bonian, Qi Baishi painting the cold finches, feathers fluffy, a withered head and shrunken brain, this is the image captured in life. Some people use the image of a human to imagine the image of the cold bird: when people come to winter, their clothes are tightly wrapped, how can the feathers of the cold bird shake open? He did not understand that the cold bird was frozen tightly, the skin was wrinkled, and the roots of the feathers were unkempt, and in other seasons, the skin stretched and the feathers were close to each other, and they would look slim and exquisite. If you paint a sparrow with fluffy feathers in the willow smoke of spring, it's like wearing a leather jacket on a hot day.
Insects such as weft, crickets and shrimp of aquatic tribes, etc., all the spirit is concentrated on the tentacles, to be painted with a thin wolf, to be condensed, soft and vivid, the mulberry cow tentacles are knotted, to be drawn thin and flexible.
Draw insects to pay attention to the personality of insects, such as wasps are light and agile, butterflies and charms, mulberry cows are hard, dragonflies are stable, especially should pay attention to their dynamics.
