The reason why Chinese painting is implicit is mainly because Chinese painting emphasizes artistic conception and often leaves blank space in the picture, leaving room for imagination.
Chinese painting and western painting, as the most representative paintings in the East and the West, are both produced in their respective cultural systems. Due to the cultural differences between China and the West, there are many differences between Chinese and Western paintings, including painting concepts, painting tools and materials, painting techniques and expression forms, painting forms, painting theme selection and so on.
The essence of painting is beauty. What is beautiful should be painted more beautifully, and what is not beautiful should also be painted beautifully. Rats, pigs and snakes are all difficult to draw. The squirrel painted by Mr. Wang Xuetao absorbed some expressions of cartoon mice, and it was beautifully painted.
The pig's head is ugly, but the pig's head painted by Mr. Wang Xuetao is not bloody, but a white face with long eyelashes on its eyes, which is very beautiful. No matter how a snake is drawn, it is always difficult to express. It can be represented by bamboo toy snakes, which will be very picturesque.
Painting should pay attention to implication, pay attention to hidden needles in the cotton wool, and draw implicitly, so that the artistic conception will be far-reaching and attractive. The ancients said, "the pen fails to reach the purpose, and the pen is broken." Literally, it is about the use of pens. It's actually about ideas. No matter what painting you draw, you must work hard on the concept. If a work is meaningless, it means there is no soul.
How do you make your work meaningful? Usually read more books, read more books, and go deep into life. When I talk about going deep into life, I don't just write sketches, but I want to get in touch with society and experience life from all levels. You can't make a work of art by hiding in the house all day behind closed doors.
The unification of form and content is simple, but it is difficult to do. The ancients deliberated for a poem and a word for a long time, looking for the most poetic word, and reached the realm of "words are not surprisingly endless" So is modern literature. When we read Lao She's novels, we will find that every character in his works has distinct characteristics of the times.
His description of the characters is very appropriate, but if these sentences are taken out alone, they are ill sentences without context. Painting is the same as writing an article. The painter should express the content of the work in the most appropriate form.
