Chinese painting requirements

Chinese painting, that is, Chinese painting, is an artistic treasure of the Chinese nation. It is a unique traditional Chinese painting art. It has a distinctive ethnic style and form. Chinese paintings can be generally divided into ink paintings and color ink paintings. They can be divided into ancient paintings, modern paintings, and modern paintings. They can be divided into meticulous paintings, freehand brushwork, and brushwork and freehand brushwork. The traditional Chinese painting uses water as the solvent, ink and pigment as color materials, and is painted on rice paper or bamboo. It has its own unique style.

Ink painting: The whole picture is in black and grey tone, and no color is used to rely on five kinds of ink shades, that is, coke, thick, heavy, light, and clear. The picture is often composed of a few pens but it is peculiar, concise and powerful. Lively and lively, with rich levels of change, forming its unique style.
The copy should focus on black ink rhyme changes. The technique of painting, rubbing, spotting, dyeing, etc. in the painting should be maintained to prevent ill effects such as halo hardening of the dry pen.

Caimo painting: In addition to the characteristics of the above ink paintings, it also applies color, and the new angry ink and color coordination is extremely harmonious and gives color, making the ink painting more elegant and elegant, and increasing the artistic effect that ink painting is difficult to achieve.

Color ink painting is divided into two kinds of light color and heavy color.

Light-colored paintings: Ink is a simple color, and its color is lighter. The copy should be dominated by black, the amount of ink should be strong, and other colors with some lighter methods to copy.

Heavy-color painting: It uses bright colors and requires a bright and calm, strong and harmonious, both thick and well-proportioned, similar to watercolor. Although color is important in heavy-color paintings, the black version must be properly handled taking into account the characteristics of Chinese painting.

Freehand drawing: It refers to the will to describe the will of the image, the wetness of the screen, the pen strokes of dry pens or dry pens, and the splash of ink. Most of the light and shade levels of gongbi painting are expressed by lines. Both meticulous and freehand brushwork is a combination of the two techniques. It uses the freehand brushwork to set off the theme's secondary things. It is thick and thin in terms of pen and ink equipment. Square painting: Due to the long history of the collection, the original colors and the background of both the paper and the script have changed, that is, pan-color, forming a unique color of ancient paintings. In the copying, we must do our best to protect the yellowing and wrinkles that the picture has formed. Traces of hydrolysis; darkening and other different characteristics.

Chinese painting is freehand brushwork. Meticulous strokes. In ink paintings, the main feature is that they use ink as a secondary feature, and ink and lines should be used to express the shape of objects.

Most of the current copy of Chinese painting use electronic color separation, four-color printing process. How to use the technique to better reproduce the original features and artistic style according to the characteristics of traditional Chinese painting? First of all, according to the characteristics of the traditional Chinese painting outlined above, we will classify and analyze the original work, and formulate corresponding technological measures based on different manuscripts.

1, the original analysis of the original document;
2. Solicit the customer's focus and requirements for copying;
3, select a few sets of representative manuscript color separation (tact to copy the focus and data).

For example, the collection of "Jia-Yazhai Tibetan Paintings" contains different types of paintings from ancient Ming paintings to modern Chinese paintings. It is required that the hue of the picture should be accurate, especially the hue of the ancient painting should be old and simple. The customer raised several slivery gold paper fans. Before the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the sliver gold paper fan was red gold, and the Ming dynasty was green gold. Otherwise, the paper fan's age was a few hundred years apart and the value was a dozen times worse.

Due to the large format of Chinese paintings, most of them are made into natural films. Due to camera technology, equipment and other factors, prime. Most originals are color cast. Distressed, correct color cast when copying, brighten. Pay attention to high, medium, low-key, neutral gray balance.

When copying Chinese paintings, we must pay attention to the tone levels to be complete, focus, heavy, thick, light, and dissolved five levels, the screen, front, middle and back scenery levels should be clear. Xuan paper must have small ideas on the white background, and it must not be netted. Otherwise, the high-profile is too hard, it is out of touch, it loses consistency, and it is peaceful. The picture is too boring. Therefore, the high-light calibration must be correct, and the fine ideas should be controlled properly. It is neither finicky nor too deep. Try to maintain a high-profile level, followed by high-profile levels need to pay attention to maintain three-color balance into a neutral gray, do not jump color dew.

Order withered levels must be complete, the black version to do growth adjustment, the black version must be deep enough enough to make the black version fullness. We can calibrate the black plate to 2%-90% (yang) and remove it with the background color. Background color gain reproduction, freehand drawing banana, thick, heavy, light, clear. Methods as below:

If the original is adjusted well, the base color removal range is placed on 7-8, the three-color calibration point is removed to c70%, M59%, Y60%, and the base color gain range is set on 5-6. The background color gain knob gains the three-color calibration point to C75%, M64%, Y65%, K95-1oo%, and draws the banana gradation level off (as shown in the figure):

Such as "Jia Ya Zhai Tibetan painting", use this method to copy. Several of the paintings, such as pine needles and several calligraphy works, were written on patterned colored paper. The words and patterns merged into one another, and the words vaguely saw the patterns. After this method, the pine leaves were pulled. Open, so that each of the pine leaves can be seen, the pattern can be seen in the word, strokes. Make the picture breathable, stereoscopic three-dimensional, lively, the customer is very satisfied after watching.

Second, the use of clarity, especially freehand brushwork, the picture can not be too clear, rather small in the choice of aperture rather small, small level knob to put small, otherwise the electronic taste is too heavy, the screen is coarse, from the sense of relief, and undermine the Chinese painting art Characteristics and mood in the painting.
