Why is Yang Genzhu a master of drawing orchids?
One aspect: the bluegrass painted by Teacher Yang is really good! Pen and ink are smooth, orchid leaves are natural and elegant, and orchid leaves are graceful and restrained. Cursive titles and pictures complement each other! The picture is very refreshing, beautiful and gentle!
On the other hand, Mr. Yang created "Nine Leaves" and "freehand brushwork" on the basis of learning the painting techniques of predecessors, which pushed the art of writing orchids to a new height! It is of epoch-making significance! What is the nine-leaf art of writing orchids? It means that there are nine orchids painted on each bluegrass, which means auspiciousness and eternity. Jiuyelan explained the Taoist theory that heaven is one, earth is two and man is three. Three three get nine, nine nine eight one Taoist thought. What is freehand brushwork? Freehand brushwork is to draw a freehand visual effect of multi-level colors with simple brushwork. Seemingly freehand brushwork, but actually freehand brushwork. But it is essentially different from traditional freehand brushwork. It does not need to cross lines, render, fill colors, smear and other processes, but it is done at one time. Objectively speaking, it is more advanced, more ingenious, more vivid, more flexible and more realistic than traditional freehand brushwork. Of course, painting is extremely difficult and should be the highest realm of freehand brushwork!
The third aspect: The book Yang Genzhu, a Contemporary Master of Orchid Painting, published by Tianjin Ren Mei Fine Arts Publishing House was officially published and sold on the second floor of Beijing Book Building!
The above three points are enough to show that Yang Genzhu, the master of orchid painting, is a veritable master of painting! His popularity will naturally continue to increase!
