The method of making Shanghai-style bonsai

As we all know, if we want to do anything well, we must not start it blindly. We can only do it after careful consideration. Only in this way can we get twice the result with half the effort, otherwise haste makes waste. Take bonsai creation for example, in order to create a successful and satisfactory work, in addition to making preparations in advance, we also need to work in a down-to-earth and step-by-step manner. Because bonsai creation is a meticulous work that takes a lot of time and energy.

Now take the production of Shanghai-style bonsai, for example, to make Shanghai-style bonsai, like other bonsai, the first thing you need to do is to prepare sufficient special tools, and then make creative ideas to draw a mature prototype or even an effect picture of the work. finally, it can be created according to the effect drawing. So, how to make Shanghai-style bonsai? Next, the editor will talk about the production method of Shanghai-style bonsai for you. Although the steps are simple, the implication is profound. I like to understand it well.

First, prepare tools

To create different bonsai works, we need to choose different special tools, because today the editor is talking about making Shanghai-style bonsai, so the chosen tools are naturally suitable for Shanghai-style. So, what tools do we all need? Of course, the more tools we have, the better. The main ones are:

Hand pick, screwdriver, awl, woodworking saw, all kinds of scissors (flat shears, curved shears, branch shears, etc.), electric grinders, small electric hand planers, brushes and other supplies. In short, all the tools that can be used should be available.

Second, painting composition

The tree species in nature are rich and have their own characteristics. After selecting the tree species suitable for production, we need to create bonsai for this tree. But before the creation, in order to make us more calm and smooth in the process, we should draw the composition according to our creative ideas in advance.

How to compose the picture exactly? Because there are so many trees in nature, they can neither be copied nor improved drastically. Reasonable composition needs to reflect the author's creative ideas, use techniques and bonsai display form through composition.

Usually, we need to carry out artistic examination combined with the different shapes of trees in nature, abstract and conceptualize the concrete images, and then according to our own creative practical experience, as far as possible to choose scientific, reasonable, aesthetic creative techniques to complete. In particular, it should be pointed out that creation can not break the growth law of trees in nature, but should reflect the original natural attributes as much as possible.

Then we need to make a comprehensive evaluation of the tree species to achieve the transformation of the physical object from abstraction to image thinking, which is the evolution process from the physical object-abstract-image-physical object.

III. Production process

The production process of Shanghai-style bonsai is mainly the process of modeling, in which creators are required to skillfully use various techniques, know the shape of various parts of the trees like the back of their hands, and show the effect of creation at any time in the brain. The creation of Shanghai-style bonsai mainly includes the following aspects:

1) the function of root system

The root system of trees can not only reflect the ornamental, but also foreshadow a breath of life. Therefore, in the shape of tree roots, these two functions must not be ignored.

2) the shape of the trunk

The shape of the backbone of Shanghai-style bonsai determines the shape and trend of bonsai as a whole. In the modeling process, we need to learn more from the external performance of those beautiful tree species in nature. Of course, this also needs to be completed by combining the characteristics and growth habits of the tree species, and it must not be forced to shape it in accordance with the established ideas, otherwise it is easy to hurt the trees, or even change the rules suitable for their growth.

3) the shape of branches and leaves

The shape of branches and leaves of trees directly determines the artistic effect of bonsai. In order to let it give full play to its own graceful and colorful characteristics, it should be unique in shape and let its charm be highlighted. Only when the branches and leaves are modeled in place, can they play a vital role in embellishing the whole bonsai and reflect the texture and beauty.

In the creation of Shanghai-style bonsai, in addition to the modification of the root system, we also need to pay attention to the pruning of various parts to be scientific, reasonable and appropriate as far as possible. For the interspersed display and curved transformation of the branches, they should be handled flexibly according to the size and thickness of the branches, which will not change the law of their natural growth, nor affect their own artistic value.
