Creative design of fan painting

Fan's painting methods include painting techniques, composition design, creative research and so on. Although these aspects are consistent with the principles, rules and techniques of Chinese painting. However, due to the special style of fan modeling (mainly folding fan), fan painting has its particularity. Because the paper surface of the fan is shiny and uneven, the painter should first hold the pen in the process of sketching, hold the pen slightly lower, relax his wrist, and pay attention to avoiding the crease of the fan according to the composition and modeling of the design. Try to be natural and intermittent in a limited picture; Make the rotation flexible and moderate.

Another point is to control the moisture and ink concentration in the pen. It is freehand to draw ink on raw rice paper, and the ink is removed one by one, and the water in the color permeates into the fiber layer of the paper, naturally forming a varied, full-effect and rich-layered ink rhyme; Painting meticulous brushwork on cooked rice paper, "Three Alums and Nine Dyes" is steady with a pen, and the ink color can be rendered in several details, with elegant and dignified effect. Painting on a fan is not the case. No matter what you write, when you put pen to paper, the water can't seep down for a while, and the ink can only float on the paper and evaporate slowly. In the process of evaporation, part of water in convex sectors is dispersed with ink color, and part of ink color in concave sectors is accumulated with water. The convex part is dry first and the ink color is light, and the concave part is dry first and the ink color is thick. Therefore, the painter must master this feature in the operation, and he must be handy in using pen, ink, water and color.

Hook and point have their own skills, especially when drawing meticulous paintings on the fan, each rendering must be completed at one time. Then, gently absorb the accumulated water with a clean wet pen and "bang" the ink evenly. The lost ink can be replenished according to the original color after the paper is slightly dry. Painting petals, leaves, trunks, stones and other areas with a sense of area can be more moist and "accumulated" repeatedly. Where there is a large area of coloring, such as lotus leaves and banana leaves, if you use a pen horizontally on the fan, the ink will be dyed unevenly due to wrinkles. At this time, you can dye it step by step along the crease with a pen, and clean it with another pen at any time. If the ink color is not enough, wait until the first time to dry before dyeing. The stroke order should be the same as that of the last time. Don't smear it back and forth, so as not to "flower" the picture.
