First, the characteristics of freehand brushwork flower-and-bird painting

Freehand flower-and-bird painting is a form of traditional flower-and-bird painting. Compared with meticulous flower-and-bird painting, all kinds of freehand brushwork, small freehand brushwork and large freehand brushwork belong to freehand brushwork category, which is generally called freehand brushwork flower-and-bird painting. Its main features are briefly described as follows:

1. Take calligraphy as the painting method-calligraphy and painting are of the same origin.

Freehand brushwork of flowers and birds, the word "freehand brushwork", has profound implications. It requires painters to take things, shape them with pen and ink, and emphasize "writing", that is, to draw with calligraphy. Throughout the history of China's freehand brushwork masters, their different painting styles are closely related to their calligraphy skills. "People who can draw must be good at calligraphy." People who have no time and personality in calligraphy will be mediocre and tasteless. Therefore, learning calligraphy is an indispensable basic skill in learning freehand flower-and-bird painting, so we must make great efforts to study and practice. If you don't know calligraphy, you don't know what freehand brushwork is and you can't learn it well.

2. Take the shape with God and abandon the shape with meaning-similarity and difference.

The freehand flower-and-bird modeling is neither abstract invented by the painter nor concrete known to the naked eye. It is an image dedicated to meaning, which is different from appearance and is called "image". It is different from the natural truth without losing its charm. It is based on verve, taking shape with spirit and giving up shape with meaning. The shape here is "between similarity and difference"; It is an artistic image created by the painter after observing the objective image very carefully, even reaching a nuanced situation. It is higher, more intense, more concentrated, more typical and more ideal than ordinary real life, so it is more ordinary.

3. Be concise-less is better than more.

Freehand brushwork flower-and-bird painting requires a high degree of conciseness and generalization of pen and ink, disrespectful brushwork, careless brushwork and thoughtful brushwork, simple brushwork and complex brushwork, and taking one as ten is the highest criterion of freehand brushwork. It is as concise and implicit as China's five-character quatrains, which gives readers room for imagination, association and re-creation, thus gaining more and more beautiful artistic enjoyment. Here, we should pay special attention to the "blank" in China's freehand brushwork, that is, the treatment of "emptiness" in Chinese painting. "Virtual" is not without, but there is something in the virtual, and the virtual and the real coexist, and everything without painting is wonderful. For example, Zhu Da and Qi Baishi did not draw water, leaving a large blank, but they felt fish and shrimp swimming in the water.
