Chapter 670: The mountains and rivers are in the painting, beautiful
Chen Wenzhe has seen Ming Dynasty chicken jar cups and Ming Dynasty multicolored porcelain, so it is not difficult to obtain the Ming Dynasty ink color formula.
Moreover, he also has a pastel figure from the third generation of the Qing Dynasty in his hand, so there will naturally be no shortage of opportunities to obtain the ink color formula.
These formulas are often not used, so Chen Wenzhe doesn't mind using them whenever he has the chance.
Just like this time, if it were not for making white-glazed porcelain, Chen Wenzhe would not be able to think of ink-colored porcelain.
The reason why this kind of porcelain is special is that the thick black ink-like color material, either dark or light, or thick or light, contrasts with the snow-like white glaze, which has the effect of traditional ink painting, so it is also called "color ink painting".
It is known as "the color of ink is like gold".
Ink color, in Chen Wenzhe's hands, was originally just used to add finishing touches, but this time it was different.
He needed to make real palace ink-colored porcelain, and this must be attributed to Cao Qingchun.
Previously, he took Chen Wenzhe to Huangjia Village on the outskirts of Dahai City to buy broken porcelain pieces.
After that, he went there more often and obtained many classic porcelain fragments.
After Chen Wenzhe's guidance, he specifically looked for porcelain pieces with paintings, calligraphy and good glaze color.
These porcelain pieces are not only collectible, but also have cultural value to Chen Wenzhe.
Because he can get a lot of information through these tiles.
For example, the glaze formulas of the third dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, and some unique techniques of the Qing Palace Building Office.
These can all be obtained through some fragments of official kiln porcelain from the third and third dynasties of the Qing Dynasty.
No matter what the official kiln porcelain of the third dynasty of the Qing Dynasty is, the price is very high and it is difficult to buy it. Even to take a look at it is difficult.
However, the porcelain pieces from the third and third dynasties of the Qing Dynasty are different.
However, through the use of backtracking on broken porcelain pieces, the information obtained is relatively scattered.
Although a lot of information is scattered, it is also a big gain when put together.
Mainly because there are so many broken porcelain pieces from the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China.
The greater the quantity obtained, the greater the harvest will be, no matter how fragmented the information is.
For example, the firing of this ink-colored porcelain must be a technique from the third generation of the Qing Dynasty.
Because this craft first appeared in the mid-Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, became popular in the Yongzheng and Qianlong dynasties, and continued until the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.
Since it is an antique, it must be copied thoroughly. Chen Wenzhe started with Kangxi ink colors.
During the Kangxi period, the ink color was rich and lustrous, the glaze was pure, and a layer of glass white was applied on it. The fired ink color was jet black and bright.
Therefore, the first piece of ink-colored porcelain was an ink-colored flat pot.
It is lined with white glaze and then painted with ink. The paintings are mainly flowers and birds, so it is easy to make.
In fact, there are many varieties of ink-colored porcelain. For example, Yongzheng ink-colored porcelain is quite famous. The most common shape is a pen holder, followed by Zun, covered bowl, cup set, plate, etc.
The decorations are mainly landscapes and figures, and the pictures are like traditional Chinese ink paintings.
There are collections of ink-colored porcelain like this at home and abroad. Chen Wenzhe has seen pictures and it is not difficult to imitate them.
In comparison, with the firing process of Dehua white porcelain, if ink color is applied on top of this grade of white porcelain, the contrasting effect will definitely be stronger.
Therefore, this time Chen Wenzhe has found another way to make top-notch porcelain.
Some people can still bake Dehua white porcelain, while ink-colored porcelain has been mastered by some old artists from Jingzhen until modern times. They follow the ancient method of making porcelain and are rigorous and do not tolerate any flaws.
As far as Chen Wenzhe knows, there are many porcelains, pen holders, vases, flower utensils, etc. on the market that are similar to ink and color. There are countless them. At first glance, they look like ink and color.
It's just that those have only their form and their name.
Therefore, when purchasing ink-colored porcelain, you must be careful, careful and careful.
It is best to choose works by famous masters, which not only ensures the authenticity of the works, but also has good room for appreciation in the future.
The reason why a master is a master is because he has moved from imitation to creation.
For example, Chen Wenzhe now wanted to make white porcelain at the beginning, but gradually he thought of ink-colored porcelain.
But now, he was no longer satisfied with the combination of Dehua white porcelain and ink-colored porcelain, and he thought of pastel-colored porcelain.
The reason why he has so many ideas is entirely because he has various master craftsmanship.
The work formed by the combination of these skills will definitely be a top-notch work once it is produced.
So, after just a little thought, Chen Wenzhe decided to make some classics.
The classics of ink-colored porcelain cannot avoid the pen holder. Whether it is the Kangxi or Yongzheng period, there are very classic pen holders handed down from generation to generation.
For example, in the original collection of the Qing Palace, there is a rectangular pen holder decorated with a combination of ink color and pastel color, which is very exquisite.
Chen Wenzhe also wanted to make such a pen holder, and the white porcelain backing used must be better than the one produced by the Qing Palace Building Office.
The production of the pen holder is very simple. Just make a piece of clay and wrap it around the body to make a pen holder.
The most difficult part is actually painting. From the front and back of the pen holder, there are ink and ink paintings of friends meeting in the mountains and ink and ink paintings of people riding donkeys into the mountains.
The two ink and color paintings feature mountains, trees, and vivid characters. Without deep painting skills, it would have been impossible to paint them.
This work is mainly made of ink, with blue, white, and ocher as embellishments. The picture is light and elegant.
For ink-colored porcelain, the color shades must be orderly and the level of painting skills must be high. Only by combining the shape and glaze can you produce good works.
After this piece was finished, looking at the paintings on it, Chen Wenzhe discovered that the types of color materials used this time were still not enough.
If you want to create a classic, you must be bold and innovative.
This time, Chen Wenzhe used wood white glaze as the base to make a consecrated ink-color landscape figure pen holder.
The paintings are mainly ink colors, with dots of sky blue, light pink, light yellow, light green and other colors.
Although there are many colors used, the ink color is mainly ink painting, with some pastels, such as blue powder, light yellow and other colors.
On the screen of each artifact, the pastel surface applied is not large and only serves as an embellishment.
So after drawing it, the painting effect is very exquisite.
If the firing is successful, it will definitely be a rare masterpiece.
Do whatever you want, big and small pen holders keep appearing, and keep painting.
Bamboo and stone pictures in ink color, landscape and figure pictures in ink color, mountains and rivers in ink color.
It can be said that the mountains and rivers are as beautiful as a painting!
"It's so beautiful!"
When Chen Wenzhe finished using the materials in his hand and raised his head, he happened to see Chen Xingchen.
"Are you off work?" Chen Wenzhe looked at his phone and saw that it was already six o'clock in the afternoon.
"Waiting for these works to enter the kiln!" Chen Xingchen said.
Chen Xingchen was filled with envy. He also wanted to do this and create works at will.
But, can he do it?
Just pinch it and it will become an exquisite figure.
He can draw an ink landscape at random, can he?
Chen Xingchen felt very confused. He still had a lot to learn.
