Chinese painting is an important part of China culture, in which the essence of pen and ink is the core of Chinese painting. Zheng Banqiao is one of the masters in the history of China's painting, and his paintings are known as "the God of Pen and Ink". Zheng Banqiao's paintings are mainly landscapes, flowers, birds and figures, among which bamboo paintings are the most famous. His bamboo paintings are thin and thin, and a few strokes can show the charm of bamboo, which makes people feel fresh and refined, and makes people want to learn his painting methods.

Step 1: Prepare.

Before you start painting bamboo, you need to prepare some tools and materials, including Xuan paper, brush, ink, water and so on. Xuan paper is an essential material for Chinese painting, which has the characteristics of good ink absorption and difficult decoloration. Brush is an important tool of Chinese painting, which can be divided into hard pen and soft pen. Bamboo is generally used as a hard pen. Ink is used for color matching, and water can be added as needed to adjust the color depth.

Step 2: Draw the outline of bamboo.

First, you need to draw the outline of bamboo. Draw bamboo skeleton with ink on rice paper, including bamboo trunk and branches. Pay attention to the direction of strokes when drawing bamboo, so that the strokes are smooth and natural.

Step 3: Draw the branches and leaves of bamboo.

Next, you need to draw the branches and leaves of bamboo. On the basis of sketching, draw bamboo branches and leaves, pay attention to the weight and direction of strokes, and make the strokes of branches and leaves look soft and natural. At the same time, we should pay attention to the distribution and size of branches and leaves to make the picture richer.

Step 4: Draw the texture of bamboo.

After drawing the outline and branches of bamboo, you need to draw the texture of bamboo with brush strokes. The texture of bamboo is the soul of bamboo, which can show its characteristics and temperament. When drawing the texture of bamboo, we should pay attention to the thickness and direction of brush strokes to make the texture of bamboo appear clear and natural.

Step 5: Draw the nodes and internodes of bamboo.

Finally, the nodes and internodes of bamboo need to be drawn with strokes. Nodes and internodes of bamboo are one of the characteristics of bamboo, which can show its sense of rhythm and restraint. When drawing bamboo joints and internodes, pay attention to the thickness and direction of strokes. Envoys and internodes look natural and regular.
