Message area: ASCIIArt Title: Re: Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum by wumi@zixia Sending station: Peking University Weiming Station June 6, 2008 00:19:51 Friday, forwarded After much thought, I decided to say something disrespectful to my seniors. In my opinion, there are three elements to a good painting: composition, color matching, and details. I won’t mention the color scheme. I won’t go into details about senior Wumi’s style of using Chinese characters. Let’s talk about this composition First of all, the first problem is that it is single. Both orchids and bamboos have this problem. They have straight leaves and straight stems. There is no change in the picture I think the essence of this problem is that Wumi-senpai cares too much about coherence when composing the picture. Of course, it’s also because the composition space is too small. The second question is that the details are still not handled properly. Some people may not understand it. But if you look carefully at Lan Ju, you will find out the clues. I think this question...I'm afraid it's still new to me Maybe it’s because Flubber-senpai’s Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum left a deep impression on me. My mind is full of magical ideas of using 3 to make plum blossoms. I can’t resonate with wumi-senpai’s new work. Maybe it’s because I brought it in beforehand. I am not writing this to criticize my predecessors or have a contemptuous attitude. I also read all of wumi-senpai’s paintings on ansiart.org He talks about it in the comments of famous experts. The detailed Chinese characters also bring out a style. Having said so much, I am actually a fj in my heart. Everyone likes it, but I'm a bit of a nitpicker, which might help spark a more in-depth discussion.... Mentioned in haoyuan AS07's masterpiece: : Even so, I can’t draw the chrysanthemum petals haha : Mei is recognized as being very good...
