工笔画创作刍议

On Creation with Fine Brushwork Painting

工笔在落墨勾线中其实是在画生命线,是形象和程式的高度结合,它要求画家既要对形象胸有成竹,又要使形象符合工笔的程式、线描法则,高度提炼概括,用笔表达心中的形象。工笔画中线的启、承、转、合,运笔的速度、节奏、线条的长、短、粗、细及韵味都是画家对客观世界的认识、体悟,是心境的流露,这就要求画家的手、眼、脑与其心情的高度协调一致才能获得。

In gongbi, a traditional Chinese painting method featured by fine brushwork and detailed description, once the brush is set to paper, what is presented is indeed the life of the painter. Gongbi is an intricate combination of images and patterns which requires the painter to have a wellthought-out image in mind first, and to have the image within the patterns and rules of the brushwork. After being highly generalized, the image may be clearly presented on paper. The action of the brush like starting, continuing, turning and ending, the speed and rhythm of the movement of the brush, the length and thickness and taste of each stroke all is the reflection of the painter＇s understanding and feelings of the objective world. Therefore, it is argued that delicate coordination of his hands, eyes and mind as well as his spirit is essential to a successful brushwork painting.
