How to draw woody flowers in flower-and-bird painting?

Woody flower painting Flowers and trees in nature can be divided into woody and herbs, vines and vines. Wood is divided into trees and shrubs. Trees have tall branches and crowns made up of strong branches, such as pine, cypress, poplar, elm, kapok and phoenix. Shrubs are overgrown and low, with many branches near the ground, such as roses, azaleas, magnolias, peonies, hibiscus mutabilis, virgin flowers, etc. Herbs are divided into annual, biennial and perennial. Panicum miliaceum, such as impatiens, okra, cockscomb, star anise, etc. In the second year, biennial herbs blossom and bear fruit; Perennial plants sprout in spring and wither in winter, and the perennial roots or tubers left in the soil can be preserved for many years, such as narcissus, lily, carnation, peony, Hosta, Abelmoschus manihot, lily, luminous flower, begonia, Dali flower, canna, ten brocade and so on. Although its branches and vines are woody, they are fragile, such as vines, such as wisteria and Lingxiao. One year after it was unearthed, it was rattan flower that pulled the rattan handle. The vines are tender, such as morning glory, loofah, lentils and dill. In addition, there are carnivorous plants in the desert, such as cactus, cactus, epiphyllum, crab claw lotus, angel lotus, etc. They like water, drought resistance and temperature, with different branches and leaves and colorful flowers. These various woody plants, herbs, vines and vines are the basic creative materials of flower-and-bird painting. Woody flowers have tall branches and lush foliage. To use it as a painting material, we should first make a comprehensive observation and research on it, understand its species characteristics, grasp its growth and life rules, analyze its branches, leaves, flowers, calyx, stems and stems, and understand its morphological changes and subtle changes in color in time series. For its various growth characteristics, in order to understand the heart, on the basis of experiencing the whole plant, draw a branch and record it. Then the material is summarized, synthesized, refined and other artistic techniques, and the appropriate expression techniques are selected to finally complete a creation. We should construct images and create techniques according to the different ecological characteristics of flower trees in nature. Pine and cypress are evergreen trees, which are gloomy all year round and do not wither after winter. When Song was born, he should be upright and have the potential of walking on clouds. When he was born on a cliff, he should bow. At the top of the mountain, the old cadres are low and flat, avoiding the wind and rain. According to its characteristics, the ancients often used block letters to draw needles and used powerful seal strokes to draw branches. Hundreds are wrapped in skin and bent like pancakes. In a word, we should pay attention to the strong character of pine and cypress. The author should respect his unyielding feelings and give him different images in combination with the different environments in which he grew up. It is difficult to draw willows among the flower trees. The ancients said that "painting a tree is difficult to paint a willow", referring to the willow in landscape painting. To express willow in flower-and-bird painting, as long as we can master the proper inclination of its old stem, flourish and gain power in the wind, we can be concise and uncomplicated, and then learn from it through practice. The branches of the phoenix tree stand tall and upright, so it is advisable to draw a few trunks horizontally to keep them smooth and round, and then give them a light color. When drawing veteran cadres, we should pay attention to the joints and branches, and use a powerful pen. Painting flowers and birds requires proper gardening knowledge. Attention should be paid to distinguish the subtle differences and different characteristics between flower trees. The trunk of apricot blossom is curved, the branches and leaves of peach blossom are stout, the leaves of camellia are solid, the stamens of peony are complex, and different faces show different wit. The trunk characteristics of Magnolia grandiflora are as follows: the branches are crowned with calyx leaves, which look like piles of snow sculpture jade and Qiongshu ice flowers when blooming; Mangroves are towering and bonuses are like fire. Although they are one by one, they are not attached to the bun. Hydrangea is spherical, it should be noted that it is half-opened, ups and downs, scattered in size, and obviously turned positive. The same flower tree has different old stems and new branches. It is necessary to distinguish that most flowers and trees have annual branches, biennial branches and perennial branches, and flowers are mostly born on the annual branches. For example, plum blossoms should be old and withered, and new branches should be thin and straight, with a strong spirit and a tendency of iron. All this must rely on the efforts of the painter to understand it, be familiar with it, and then fully grasp and express it. Drawing a tree focuses on following the trend. In other words, pay attention to the position of the flower tree on the screen. The ancients said: "Painting flowers is to gain power. The branches are in power, although tangled, but the blood is still connected. Although the flowers are in good shape, they are all different, smooth and unreasonable. The leaves are in power, although they are closely intertwined, but they are not complicated. " He also said: "However, the method of taking advantage of the situation is very lively and cannot be grasped. We must seek the ancient method. If the ancient law is not finished, we must seek the true shape of flowers and trees. Its true shape is more suitable for facing the wind, bearing the dew and taking the rain to meet the sunrise. More elegant and more normal. " The first thing to do now is to simplify the complex, be natural and true, and have skills, and then consider the ancient laws and formulate new ones. The images of woody, herbaceous, liana and liana flowers and trees are different, so the composition should also be distinguished. When drawing branches of woody flowers, we should strive to be vigorous and sophisticated and position properly because of their tall and hard branches. Stems, branches, flowers and leaves hide from each other. Proper arrangement can increase the complexity and momentum of the picture. If the arrangement is improper, it will be full of paper and affect the subject. In flower-and-bird painting, the whole tree is generally not painted, but only a part is painted to match the branches and leaves. It is necessary to make the dry branches not blocked, and to make many branches not trivial. Every time I start writing, I have to think of a turning point. The so-called "tree is not straight". Generally speaking, the rule of following the trend depends on the width of the paper, that is, "the branches of the left tree are big to the right, and the branches of the right tree are big to the left", "there are more left and fewer right, and the right is long and the left is short". If you draw two trees, you should always lean against them, or lean against them. You should ask for a clear distinction between subject and object. Generally, the root is the main tree in the composition, and the main tree is also near the tree. Although flower-and-bird painting is different from landscape painting, it is also necessary to distinguish between subject and object. One branch also has the interest of subject and object, and leaning back, leaning against the wind, exploring the water and hanging curtains must be obtained from composition and composition. The ancients said on painting branches: "differences must have high and low potentials, so they are not divided." There must be a tendency of thickness before and after crossing, so it will not cross. There must be a tendency to bend back and forth so that words don't overlap. "When drawing a tree, the branches should be divided and the old branches should be separated. Branches should be far and near, and the main and auxiliary branches should be determined vertically and horizontally. When drawing branches, we should pay attention to gathering and scattering, density and reality. Keep an eye on the secret place, orderly in chaos, and the pens don't touch each other. Pay attention to the branches around and don't stab each other. Old cadres should be thick and thin near branches, re-painted near branches, lightly written far branches, complicated before branches, and simple after branches to distinguish the distance. The flowers on the branches should be carefully arranged, and there should not be too many scattered points, chaotic and incomplete. Should take care of the overall contrast, there is a place mainly, all guests. Flowers should be stable, either vertically, horizontally or upside down, depending on the theme. When painting broken flowers, it is especially necessary to assess the situation. If it is decorated with fruits, it will droop. (The attached picture shows Guo Weiqu's Frost Red Season) Flowers are the main part of flower-and-bird painting. There are many different shapes of flowers. There are single valve and compound valve. Some corollas are connected with calyx, and some only have stamens. Corolla is changed from leaves. Some have long stems, some have petioles, some have single flowers, and some form inflorescence arrangements. So some are single, some are clustered, some are clustered, some are spike-shaped, some are distinct, there is a proper distance between flowers, and some are gathered together. Because most of the flowers in flower-and-bird paintings are the main body, the whole flower must be placed in the right place. There are flowers on the branches, which are usually alternate on all sides. Pay attention to proper arrangements when drawing and encourage others. Even the flowers that are clustered together must look around, look at each other before and after, or have buds in the middle, in order to get the interest of reflection and turning. Tie flowers, but also have virtual reality, thick and light, in order to show the brilliance of the thick place and the elegance of the bright place. When arranging flowers, we should pay attention to the overall effect, not trivial distribution, not too complicated coloring. To understand the natural business and subtle changes, the so-called flowers are all made up of composition, pen and color. Painting flowers can be solid colors, or only ink without powder. Draw flowers with colors, dip the dots with a pen, smudge the outline, fill it with powder before baking, draw the outline with a single color, and use methods such as hooking powder, lining powder and external dyeing. Pay attention to the different colors of flowers, such as budding, blooming, blooming and fading. In order to express the physical charm of flowers, not only a bunch of flowers should have depth, but also a petal should have depth. Sometimes, in order to reach the overall level, the color of petals will not change. In a word, the required theme can be completely expressed by properly choosing the expression method and through the artistic processing of the author. Pedicel, calyx, bud and stamen are also important parts of flowers, which need painters to go deep into natural life to observe and experience carefully. After understanding and observing, we should refer to the experience of the ancients for reference, and then start writing. Pedicels connect calyx, pedicels are long or short, and calyx is more or less. Pear, apricot, peach and plum have five petals, and the calyx is also five petals. The pointed circle of calyx usually follows the shape of petal. Some pedicels hang red silk, such as hanging silk begonia; Some layers are scaly, such as camellia, which is resistant to winter; Some have buds and pedicels, such as peony and okra; Some bracts have villi and thorns, such as magnolia and Magnoliaceae; Some pedicels are split and big, such as pomegranate flowers, which are as red as fire and bear vermilion-yellow split pedicels, forming different shapes from other flowers. Buds and pedicels are often different in color. Bracts are lighter than pedicels, but different in color from petals. If there is a green bud with an ochre pedicle, the pedicle can be completely inked, and the color of the bud is different from that of the leaf surface. In short, all kinds of flowers have different structures, different petals and different pedicels, so we should observe them carefully. Pedicel is the connection between flowers and branches, and the connection between flowers and branches depends entirely on pedicels. The front and back of flowers, anyway, are crooked and withered, all of which are expressed through pedicels. When Judy draws well, flowers are full of change and vividness. Petals are closely related to pedicels. For example, a blooming flower reveals its heart without Ludi, a flower on the back reveals its entire pedicel through its branches, and a flower on the side reveals its half-core and half-pedicle. Peanuts are in pedicels, pedicels are born in branchlets, and branchlets are connected with big branches, which must be explained clearly. (The attached picture shows Guo Weiqu's work "Kapok". Stamens are born from pedicels, and pedicels are opposite. Different flowers have different structures and different stamens. Stamens are divided into stamens and pistils. Some flowers are hermaphroditic, while others are dioecious. There are six petals, six stamens and a pistil. Stamens are divided into flower whiskers and pollen. Some flowers need more flowers, and some flowers need less flowers. Some stamens are very complex, some are very thin, some are full of flowers, some have hearts, and pollen gathers on them. Painters must create according to nature, and can't just rely on nature and fall into the frame of naturalism. Painting flowers and birds is not a wall chart of plant specimens. It should be summarized and cut, and it should be changed at any time according to the requirements of theme and expression method. Generally speaking, when painting, we must first grasp the image of the stamen. As for the number of pollen and its color, you can choose it according to the specific situation. Generally speaking, stamens should be painted less and not more, with more flowers near and less flowers far away. When Mr. Xu Beihong painted flowers, he felt more realistic when he spent a little more. Only by facing nature and understanding it carefully can the author create a new expression method. The king of Qing Dynasty talked about the importance of painting leaves in "Drawing Grasshoppers and Insects". He said: "branches and flowers know that they are cheap, and the acceptance of flowers depends entirely on leaves." "Leaves, how do you suddenly have this trend? But to make the flower branches move, the flower branches should also move, and their potential lies in the leaves. " Leaves have many shapes and different textures. Generally, it can be divided into compound leaves and simple leaves, and it can also be divided into big leaves, long leaves, egg leaves, flat leaves, divergent leaves, spur leaves, pointed leaves, feather leaves, thorn leaves, lanceolate leaves and flame-edged leaves. When drawing leaves, we should take care of the needs of the whole frame according to the shape and characteristics of the leaves, and use different methods to express them, such as line drawing, splashing ink, clustering and sketching. We should not only pay attention to the change of the expression method of flowers, but also pay attention to the unity of the overall effect. "On Painting in Yiyuan Garden" once said: "The leaves are divided into soft and hard, thick and sparse, and thick and sparse anyway, and the so-called branches are born, the clusters are gathered, the flowers are the heart of the leaves, and the leaves are the auxiliary flowers, which are interrelated to complete the painting." Pay attention to the yin and yang of leaves when drawing them, and pay attention to the performance of reverse leaves, broken leaves and hidden leaves. All flower trees with long leaves should be painted with broken leaves, and leafy flower trees should be painted with inverted leaves and shady leaves. The leaves have shadows. Generally, the front leaves are deep and the back leaves are shallow. Deep flowers should have light leaves, and light flowers should have deep leaves. Under no circumstances can the leaves leave the branches. It is difficult to draw leaves, especially green leaves, on a flower tree. Although it is often said that safflower needs green leaves to support it, we must pay attention to the mixed anger of red and green. If you experience it in nature from time to time, you will be well informed and find out the rules. Veins have different shapes, so it is especially necessary to observe the physical objects in nature carefully, master their specific growth laws, and then cut them to simplify their artistic techniques and give them a general and concrete performance. The thickness of Ye Jin should match the mosaic. Naturally growing flower trees are different from those in garden pots. The azaleas in Huangshan Mountain have branches as high as Zhang; The white tea in Qingcheng Mountain is tens of feet high, and the flowers are like iceberg Xue Hai. Potted azaleas, when the flowers bloom, the leaves are very lush; Rhododendrons in Shan Ye have few leaves when they bloom, and there are often no leaves on the branches, but those with leaves don't spend much.
