Ink bird practice
Brush and ink is the essence of Chinese painting and a benchmark for measuring the height of art. The practice of pen and ink is also one of the basic skills of the long term. We can exercise our modeling ability by drawing ink birds and silently write a variety of vivid gestures. It is necessary to pay attention to the structure and demeanor of the bird, the ink block should have a difference between large, medium and small, the line has a difference between long and short, the ink color has a rich and changeable level of thickness, and the water should have dry and wet changes. The bird's body should also be left with an appropriate amount of blank space to show black and white, tight and interesting, and pay attention to the contrast between the virtual and real relationship and the line surface.

Thick calligraphy skills are very beneficial to freehand painting birds, and the use of lines and cursive lines to paint birds can achieve both vivid and powerful effects. The pen and ink kung fu is skilled, and the things drawn have charm and will also have good brushstrokes, so the learners should practice and study tirelessly.
Practice of colored birds
Copying and sketching is the basic skill of Chinese painting, should be adhered to for a lifetime, you can find the original works or printed materials of famous artists to copy, you should also go to the zoo, flower and bird market to sketch real birds, or refer to photographic works for research and practice. Painting colored birds can not copy the color of real birds, if too much attention to detail, it will be painted into a specimen-like thing, not vivid, the so-called "careful hair loss" also.
It is necessary to pay attention to the vividness of the calm, use ink to restrain it, and summarize and refine the color of the bird while maintaining its characteristics. The bird itself should have a general color tendency, either warm or cold, and must not account for half of the area.

The requirements for painting ink birds are also applicable to painting colored birds, and the color should be infiltrated and moisturized, while paying attention to the texture of the feathers. In the creation of a flower and bird painting, the color of the bird should be distinguished from the flower, which should be compared with each other, and of course, it can also be harmonized. In short, the combination of birds and flowers must be pleasing to the eye and must not make people feel abrupt.
A combination of two birds
Painting a pair of birds is more difficult than painting a lone bird, in addition to the shape, there should also be a expression of affection, dependence, communication, disputes and other interesting expressions. The placement of the double bird should be painted as a bird, that is, there must be a sense of unity, the two can not run each other, and generally should not be placed in two places. The heads of the two birds should be aligned, or they should look forward to each other and echo each other.
In terms of color, the color of the two birds can be similar to prevent conflict; or the male is gorgeous, the female is simple, and the primary and secondary are divided. The combination of two birds must be smooth, harmonious, pleasing to the eye, and full of emotions inside.
