Creation and painting meaning and theory

The characteristics of "picturesque": "the situation is like Ying Pot, and it is natural like a painting."

It is one of the characteristics of Chinese classical gardens that the garden paintings are connected with each other and help the paintings into the garden. In "Yuanye", Ji Cheng put forward the idea of "imitating Ying pot, natural painting", advocating that the garden should strive to make the scenery picturesque, stack mountains and rivers to imitate "deep painting", stack cliffs and mountains should be "painted with stones", the layout of mountains and rocks should imitate the composition of rocks and plants, and the texture and contours of small landscapes imitate the lines and carboxyl methods of landscape painting. The dry landscape in Suzhou Museum highly summarizes and summarizes the Chinese classical elements, forming a simple building in black, white and gray. In landscape treatment, it combines the landscape style of Japanese dry landscape: a group of continuous stones, placed on gravel, and combined with white walls, make people seem to find the form of dry landscape, and the texture, color and vein of the stone are reminiscent of the ups and downs of "Ogawa". It is like a landscape painting with beautiful artistic conception. Although this landscape is located in the museum, it can also be said to be a good bonsai work, not only to achieve artistic beauty, but also to achieve the beauty of artistic conception (figure 2).

Creation and painting meaning

First of all, gardens and bonsai express far-reaching, elegant and novel artistic conception through gardening and composition, paying attention to imitating natural beauty, which is higher than natural beauty. In terms of intention, we should carefully observe and study external objects, regard them as the object of reflection, the goal of imitating, and then conceive the idea, as the guiding ideology of modeling, throughout the whole process of creation. In the process of creation, it is required that the main scene should be set off and carried by the main scene, and the two are contradictory and unified to form a natural and organic whole and realize the artistic ideal of "Wan Zi Tian Kai". For example, bonsai should take the main peak or main tree stump as the main body, first determine its location, and then consider the guest mountain or landscape rocks, the matching height should be lower than the main scene, the momentum is relatively flat, and its shape, size and color should be coordinated with the main scene. In the aspect of creation, we use the freehand brushwork technique of seeing the big in the small, using less than more, symbolizing the whole with the part, and containing infinity with the limited, leaving a broad aftertaste space for the viewer to recreate according to their own aesthetic thoughts and feelings. Bonsai creation uses the basic law of painting composition, reasonable setting, organizing space, or moving the sky and shrinking the earth, close to the mountains and forests, or using a piece of mountain spoon water to symbolize the vast expanse of nature, to achieve "within a distance and look forward to thousands of miles away. The square inch is the far-reaching artistic conception of distinguishing the handsome of thousand fathom.

Creation and painting theory

Many gardening techniques in Yuanye use the artistic rules of combining reality with reality, revealing and hiding first, and diversified and unified. The collocation and combination of landscape, plants, architecture and other elements should highlight the main body, be dense and dense properly, and hide in the exposure. Beyond the limited scope of the garden entity, create a wonderful and deep landscape.

A good bonsai is a three-dimensional painting, which also pays attention to the suitability of reality and reality, and is meant outside the pen, leaving unlimited reverie space for the viewer. "if the desire for water is far away, it is far to hide its source." by using the technique of wanting to reveal and hide first, we can deal with the relationship between the main scene and the matching scene, show the artistic conception of the scenery outside the scene and the emotion in the scene, and create a wonderful landscape with diverse structures and rich levels. In short, the water should linger with twists and turns, the trees should be graceful, the road should be hidden from time to time, the winding is endless, and the foot line of the mountain is flexible and changeable, so that practice makes perfect.

In the creation of bonsai art, although we can not use the external environment for our own use like gardening, we can use the texture, color and shape of creative materials to "apply art in accordance with their aptitude" and innovate to create works with rich connotations and novel nature. Of course, in order to pursue innovation, we should not violate the basic principles and natural laws of bonsai art creation and break the physiological characteristics of landscaping materials, which can not give spiritual comfort to viewers who are eager to return to nature. on the contrary, it will distort the world's interpretation of art.
