Zheng Banqiao was a famous painter in Qing Dynasty. He is good at painting and is known as "Southern Bamboo and Northern Books". His bamboo paintings are lifelike, exquisite, full of vitality and aura. The following is an explanation of Zheng Banqiao's bamboo paintings.

Materials:

Ink paper

Chinese brush

Refined ink

flat

Steps:

Prepare tools and materials. Wet the ink-and-wash paper slightly with tank water, and then smooth it after the paper absorbs water.

Take a proper amount of ink with a brush and put it in a flat plate. Stir the ink in the plate thoroughly with a brush to make it more uniform.

Draw the outline of bamboo gently with a brush, and pay attention to the nodes and leaves of bamboo.

Use strokes and ink stains to draw details of various parts of bamboo, such as the texture of branches, nodes and leaves.

The emphasis is on the thick feeling of bamboo joints and the rough feeling of bamboo joints. By emphasizing ink painting to highlight the texture of bamboo joints, the whole picture is more stereoscopic.

After painting, let the work dry naturally or blow dry with a hair dryer.

Precautions:

When practicing, you can draw an outline with a pencil and then paint it with ink.

In practice, we should pay attention to the combination of rigidity and softness, and make full use of the characteristics of brush to express the charm of bamboo.

You can refer to some teaching videos or books when drawing, and watch Zheng Banqiao's bamboo paintings carefully at the same time, which is helpful to improve your level.

In a word, Zheng Banqiao's bamboo painting method needs to make full use of the brush technique, pay attention to the expression of details and the free and smooth pen and ink, in order to draw a bamboo painting with aura and vitality.
