國畫奇妙緣`淺談個人國畫經(jīng)歷

作者郭瑞暄

我是郭瑞暄，熱愛一切美的事物，繪畫與各種藝術(shù)形式如同呼吸般自然融入我的生活。在創(chuàng)作的世界里，我總能找到一種身心沉浸其中的寧靜與愜意，仿佛時間在筆墨流轉(zhuǎn)間變得溫柔而緩慢。在接觸國畫之前，我已在藝術(shù)的海洋中盡情探索，濕水彩的靈動變幻、插畫的精巧構(gòu)思、動畫的生動表達、手工藝的質(zhì)樸韻味，還有小提琴的悠揚旋律、戲劇舞臺的情感張力都讓我對“美”有了更豐富的理解。這些經(jīng)歷像是一塊塊拼圖，逐漸拼出我對藝術(shù)整體面貌的認知。

I'm Elaine. I love all things beautiful. Painting and various art forms are as natural as

breathing in my life. In the world of creation, I can always find a kind of serenity and

comfort that allows my body and mind to immerse themselves, as if time becomes

gentle and slow in the flow of brush and ink. Before delving into traditional Chinese painting, I had already explored the vast ocean of art with great enthusiasm. The fluid and ever-changing nature of watercolor, the ingenious conception of illustrations, the vivid expression of animation, the simple charm of handicrafts, as well as the melodious tunes of the violin and the emotional intensity of the stage in drama, all enriched my understanding of "beauty". These experiences were like pieces of a puzzle, gradually forming my overall perception of art.

十二歲那年，我向父親提出想系統(tǒng)學(xué)習(xí)繪畫，機緣之下，有幸?guī)煆拇尴壬Ｆ鋵嵲谶@之前，家中早已有中華文化氛圍的熏陶，我的母親熱愛書法與國畫，偶爾也研究古琴。耳濡目染間，我對筆墨紙硯并不陌生，也對“以畫寫意”有了一層朦朧的向往。

When I was twelve years old, I asked my father if I could systematically study painting. By chance, I was fortunate enough to become a student of Mr. Cui. In fact, before that, there was already a cultural atmosphere of Chinese culture in my family. My mother loved calligraphy and traditional Chinese painting and occasionally studied the guqin. Through constant exposure, I was not unfamiliar with the brush, ink, paper and ink-stone, and I also had a vague yearning for "expressing one's feelings through painting"

我從六年級開始跟隨崔先生學(xué)習(xí)，轉(zhuǎn)眼已六年光陰。這段時光里，我從最基礎(chǔ)的水墨控制、筆法運用，逐步深入到色彩的敷染技巧、構(gòu)圖的經(jīng)營之道，再到花鳥畫的研習(xí)刻畫，寫意的灑脫自如，都讓我深刻體會到國畫不僅是技法的錘煉，更是一種與自然對話、與傳統(tǒng)共鳴的修行。

I began to study under Mr. Cui in the sixth grade, and it has been six years in the blink of an eye. During this period, I started from the most basic control of ink and water, the application of brushstrokes, gradually delved into the techniques of color application and composition, and then into the study and depiction of flower-and-bird paintings, as well as the free and easy style of freehand brushwork. All these have deeply made me realize that Chinese painting is not only about the refinement of techniques, but also a kind of practice that involves dialogue with nature and resonance with tradition.

以下來簡單談?wù)勎覍嬕嘏c技法的理解。

一、貫穿書法筆法：以筆傳神，氣韻生動

書法筆法是國畫造型的基礎(chǔ)，通過筆墨傳遞神韻。其核心在于四種基本技法的靈活運用：

勾勒：用筆要剛?cè)嵯酀．嬏m葉時要像書法寫撇捺般流暢自然，畫枝干則要運筆沉穩(wěn)有力，體現(xiàn)出樹木的堅韌特質(zhì)。

皴擦：通過不同的用筆方式表現(xiàn)物體質(zhì)感。畫山石時，用筆可剛勁如斧劈，也可柔和如麻絲，通過墨色濃淡表現(xiàn)立體感。

點染：點如畫龍點睛，染如輕紗薄霧。畫荷葉時先用淡墨渲染朦朧，再用濃墨點出葉脈精神，使畫面生動有致。

二、墨色：墨分五色，水潤墨章

墨色的濃淡變化可以表現(xiàn)豐富的畫面意境：

濃淡干濕：濃墨用于重點刻畫，淡墨營造悠遠意境。干筆顯得蒼勁有力，濕墨顯得溫潤柔和，需要根據(jù)畫面需要靈活運用。

墨法運用：破墨讓水墨自然交融，積墨通過層層疊加使畫面有層次而不呆板，這些都是表現(xiàn)墨色韻味的重要方法。

三、章法：構(gòu)圖布局，意境為先

構(gòu)圖不只為安排景物位置，更要營造意境：

虛實結(jié)合：重點景物細致刻畫，次要部分適當簡化。如近處的樹木精細描繪，遠處的枝葉輕淡處理，形成空間層次。

主次分明：畫面的重點與襯托，如詩歌起承轉(zhuǎn)合。主要景物突出表現(xiàn)，次要景物巧妙襯托，使整體和諧統(tǒng)一。

留白意境：空白處不是空缺，而是意境的延伸。適當?shù)牧舭啄茏層^者產(chǎn)生無限遐想，使畫面氣韻流動。

Here is a simple explanation of my understanding of the elements and techniques of traditional Chinese painting.

I. Integration of Calligraphic Brushwork: Conveying Spirit Through the Brush, Creating Vitality and Rhythm

Calligraphic brushwork forms the foundation of Chinese painting’s expressiveness, using ink and brush to convey spirit and charm. Its essence lies in the flexible application of four fundamental techniques:

Outlining and Delineating (勾勒): The brush should combine strength and softness. Painting orchid leaves should flow as naturally as calligraphic strokes, while branches should be rendered with steady, forceful brushwork to reflect the resilience of trees.

Texture Strokes (皴擦): Different brush techniques are used to depict texture. When painting mountains and rocks, strokes can be forceful like an axe chop or gentle like hemp fibers, using variations in ink tone to create a three-dimensional effect.

Dotting and Layering (點染): Dotting adds focal points, while layering creates subtle gradations. For lotus leaves, light ink is first applied to create a hazy effect, followed by darker ink dots to highlight the veins, bringing the painting to life.

II. Ink Tones: Five Shades of Ink, Moisture-Enriched Expression

Variations in ink intensity can express rich artistic conceptions:

Density, Lightness, Dryness, and Wetness: Dark ink is used for emphasis, while light ink creates a sense of depth. Dry brushstrokes appear vigorous, while wet ink conveys softness and fluidity. These should be applied flexibly according to the painting’s needs.

Ink Techniques: Techniques like pomo (breaking ink) allow ink and water to blend naturally, while jimo (layering ink) creates depth without rigidity.

These methods are essential for expressing the subtle charm of ink.

III. Composition: Arranging Elements with Artistic Conception as the Priority

Composition is not just about placing elements but also about evoking an artistic mood:

Balance of Solid and Void (虛實結(jié)合): Key elements are depicted in detail, while secondary parts are simplified. For example, trees in the foreground are rendered meticulously, while distant foliage is treated lightly to create spatial depth.

Clear Hierarchy (主次分明): The relationship between focal points and supporting elements should be harmonious, much like the structure of a poem. The main subjects stand out, while secondary elements complement them, ensuring unity and balance.

Meaningful Blank Space (留白意境): Empty areas are not voids but extensions of the artistic conception. Skillful use of blank space invites viewers’imagination and enhances the painting’s rhythmic flow.

回過頭看，國畫于我，早已不止是一門技藝。它是我與美對話的媒介，也是讓我在紛擾中安放內(nèi)心的方式。正如古人所言“外師造化，中得心源”，我仍在路上，筆墨也仍將繼續(xù)。

Looking back, for me, traditional Chinese painting is no longer merely a skill. It is a medium through which I communicate with beauty, and also a way for me to find peace within myself amidst the chaos. Just as the ancients said, "Learn from

nature externally and obtain the essence internally," I am still on this journey, and my brushstrokes will continue as well.

【迎春燕子圖】

這幅寫意花鳥圖是我的首個作品，畫面以明麗的迎春花為主體，花朵形態(tài)嬌俏，似在微風(fēng)中輕輕搖曳。兩只燕子姿態(tài)靈動，或俯沖、或翱翔，為畫面增添了生機與動感。以簡練的筆墨勾勒出花枝的輪廓與烏兒的身形，色彩運用明快卻不艷俗，表現(xiàn)出春日花鳥的活潑意趣，盡顯寫意畫重神韻、簡概括的特點，營造出充滿生機的中式意境。

are sketched with simple lines, their petals spread out, and the stamens are

scattered among them, giving a sense of liveliness. Two birds have different

postures: one seems to be chirping, while the other seems to be listening quietly.

Together with the flowers, they create the artistic conception of "Listening to the

Language of Flowers". The branches are depicted with vigorous brushstrokes and

rich ink variations, showcasing the firmness and texture of the branches. The

composition combines the use of both light and dark areas, focusing on the

weathered through the ages. The pine branches extend in all directions, and the

pine needles are delicately outlined with fine brushstrokes, being numerous yet

not chaotic, fully showcasing the pine tree's tenacity and vitality. The painting

mainly uses black and white ink colors, and through the changes in ink thickness,

dryness and wetness, it presents the three-dimensionality and spatial sense of the

The background is left blank, creating an expansive atmosphere of the spring river surface. On the left side, the inscription reads "The river is warm in spring, and the ducks are the first to know", which not only indicates the season and the artistic conception of the picture but also adds cultural flavor.

The second painting depicts a group of shrimps. The shrimps are depicted with a lively and dynamic appearance. Their long antennae are sketched with smooth lines along the body. The use of ink color precisely conveys the transparent texture of the shrimps and their swimming posture in the water, making one feel the flow of water. The inscription reads “Unique Shrimps Without Fish”, highlighting the unique charm of the shrimps themselves. The picture is full of vitality and dynamic beauty.

The third picture depicts crabs of various shapes. Some are baring their claws and moving about, while others are lying still. The use of light and dark ink colors showcases the hard texture of the crab shells and the layers of the crab bodies.

The inscription gives the crabs an imposing image, making the picture more interesting and full of imagination. The fourth picture depicts chicks. Several chicks have a naive and lively expression. With simple ink strokes, the round shapes and agile postures of the chicks are depicted, as if they are playing and having fun. The inscription directly highlights the adorable traits of the chicks. The picture is filled with childlike innocence and vitality.

The entire set of works, through detailed depictions of various objects, uses the changes in ink thickness, dryness and wetness to showcase the vitality and charm of natural creatures. At the same time, the inscriptions on each picture complement the picture well, reflecting the artistic feature of traditional Chinese painting that integrates "poetry, calligraphy, painting, and seal engraving". The overall atmosphere creates a fresh and natural, full of life interest environment.
