6Why is it that bonsai masters can shape whatever they want, and the works they produce are beautiful and stunning, often leaving people mouth-watering, but when we get a raw pile or a semi-finished product, we just can't get the effect we want?
I believe that the skills and techniques that masters can teach you step by step can generally be learned by yourself through the Internet, and those that really make the difference in the works depend on the material itself and the creator's own aesthetic height and rich practical experience.
In bonsai modeling, it is important to choose a good angle, but if there is no surprise or danger in this angle, the work will often be dull, just like a play without a climax will not be exciting.
At this time, "taking the momentum" is particularly important, so how can we obtain strange and dangerous branches?
This requires that when modeling, use methods such as pinning, cutting and storing branches to first determine the basic shape, and then skillfully use strange and dangerous branches such as flying branches, floating branches, and other lining branches according to the direction of each root and trunk. After the initial shaping of
, it needs to be stocked and grown for a period of time until each branch is finally fixed.
After the final fixation, some branches may have formed a satisfactory shape, and some branches may not have achieved the expected results, but some have unexpectedly formed strange and dangerous branches. This is the result of the combination of artificial and natural.
A strange and dangerous branch refers to a branch that is not bound by tradition and is reasonable but unexpected. This is also the difference between it and those diseased branches that are shaped into grotesque shapes out of curiosity and imposed on trees by human will.
Taking the momentum is to determine the entire outline of the pile scene, that is, the tree posture based on the basic shape of the branches.
Cultivating and making bonsai is like painting, which requires painting theory and painting techniques. Chinese painting has the motto of "the source of the heart comes from the creation of the external teacher".
Therefore, we should first carefully observe the beautiful trees in the mountains and fields, enjoy the pictures of famous works and ancient paintings, and find out what is beautiful about them.
also needs to frequently read the information accumulated over the years, including bonsai literature and the masterpieces of oneself and others, so as to review the past and learn the new, learn from each other's strong points, and keep in mind the beauty of various trees.
In this way, when creating, you can find the best plan in your mind to match it based on the materials provided, so that "the mind is a furnace, melting thousands of trees", use it flexibly and take advantage of the situation, so that the spirituality of the natural tree can be reproduced in the pot.
Issues to pay attention to when gaining momentum:
1. Keep the structure stretched, the benchmarks complement each other, and no matter how many branches there are, the main Arrange according to the needs of the topic expression;
2. The center of gravity must be stable and cannot be unbalanced due to dynamics. Proper balance and potential changes are the laws of plant growth;
3. You must have an aesthetic point of view and must follow the dialectics and aesthetic points of view in bonsai production.
