in the picture. It should be done when
the water not dried out on the paper,
otherwise it will become stiff.
In addition, the use of watercolor
pens is also very important, different
shapes of strokes will create different
effects. When drawing the pencil
draft, I generally don’t like to make the
shape of the painting very specific, so
there will be a lot of room left to play
when I am painting. When laying out
large colors, I usually use a square, soft
brush made of squirrel hair, because
the square brush can quickly draw a
large color relationship and a virtual
relationship. When drawing the details,
use a round-headed stylus or a white
Chinese ink brush. When drawing a
tree, you can use the pen’s side to draw
a changing block. When you hook the
line, I like to use Rosemary’s knife pen
and a Chinese ink brush for hooking
and lining, these can sculpt ideal lines
with changes.
Demolition of the old village, watercolor, 36 x 51 cm (14 x 20")
This scenery was completed on the spot while sketching in the countryside. The inspiration comes from a contrast between new and old, and a feeling of change
in rural development. The foreground is a demolition site. The land is full of bricks and other construction waste. In the distance is the old house. The place where
the peasants lived for generations, the distant view of the mountains in the morning fog, the medium-sized trees and telephone poles, as well as small bridges
flowing in the vicinity, faintly retain the original life, which is intertwined to form a landscape. In dealing with this work, I used the wet painting method, that is,
using a watering can to spray water on the paper before painting, and when the water is half dry, the distance and the middle scene are drawn, so that different
colors are naturally connected. When you are quick-drying, draw the poles and trunks. Use a flexible stylus to thicken the squid ink. Keep the strength of the hand
when you use it. The trunk is drawn taller. When drawing a wire, the amount of water on the pen should be less, the speed should be slower and the stroke can be
handled by using a dragging pen. The details of the small bridges and bricks in the vicinity are handled as needed.
