The method of making rockery bonsai

The shape of mountain and stone bonsai can be roughly divided into five types: independent type, overweight type, opening and closing type, scattered type and overlapping type. Bonsai production can be divided into the following steps:

(1) selection basin

Bonsai is very particular about the setting off of pots and shelves. Basin, generally have purple sand basin, disk, marble plate, stalactite "cloud plate", terrazzo plate and so on. Rock bonsai commonly used shallow plate is rectangular or waist round, there are four soles, the plate protruding outward and multi-angled, in order to enhance decoration, white or light blue, can show the water surface. At present, the white hard plastic shallow plate and white cement millstone plate on the market are sold at a low price and can also be selected. As for the several planes in the display basin, they can be used locally to create several planes with rich local characteristics.

(2) layout in the basin

Bonsai is a highly generalized processing of works of art, must be carefully combined, carefully deliberated, reasonable layout, so in the combination of modeling, we should follow several principles. 1. Originating from nature and creating artistic conception. 2. Give priority to each other and look at each other. 3. The level is clear and the contrast is contrast. 4. Deficiency and reality are suitable, and they seem to be hidden. 5. Rich in variety, unified and coordinated.

(3) Stone processing

1. Sawing: determine the position and size of the main body according to the drawing. Then use a small saw to slowly flatten the bottom. Then select the side with clear texture and many caves as the front, and process it according to the imagined effect. Pine stone can be cut with hacksaw, while hard stone can be cut with electric steel sand saw blade. 2, carving: carving must first focus on the big picture, use hammers, chisels and other tools to carve out the general outline of the mountain peak, and then carry out fine processing. Remember: try to keep the natural beauty of Sheung Shui stone when processing. 3. Gluing: gluing can play a perfect role. Its main points: the stone quality, texture, color and momentum of several stones should be similar. In order not to affect the water absorption of Shifeng, it should be overlapped horizontally and cannot be spliced up and down.

(4) small scene embellishment

Small scene embellishment is to achieve the artistic effect of the stars. Its methods are as follows: 1. the method of moss is: scrape off the moss growing on the outer wall of the flowerpot in the shade shed or greenhouse, scrape it off with a knife, gently crush it, then dip the moss in the seam hole of the mountain peak with a hairbrush, and then put it in the shade and spray water often. the moss will soon be covered with stone peaks. 2. The method of planting trees is to select suitable tree species according to the requirements of "Zhangshan foot tree" and plant them according to the growth law of nature. Between the stone cracks, it is appropriate to plant trees with bare roots, curved trees, exquisite tree appearance, and plants with thin branches, small leaves and shallow roots. Large bonsai can grow small five-needle pine, Luohan pine, tiger thorn plum and so on. Small and medium-sized bonsai often replace trees with some fine-leaved evergreen grass of Sedum family. 3. The method of arranging parts is to take advantage of the shape, let nature take its course, skillfully combine the terrain, or near the mountain, or according to the water, or rely on the hole, or soar in the air, with the natural scenery in the bonsai to express the artistic conception of the scenery. It can be arranged with reference to the location of landscape architecture and facilities in the theory of traditional Chinese painting. It should be noted that the size of furnishings should be based on the perspective principle of near size, low size and high size. The quantity is determined according to the bonsai theme, artistic conception, specifications and other specific conditions.
