There are many kinds of jade carvings, and there are many kinds of jade carvings. Jade carving artists often have their own themes. It is very difficult to make a theme good. However, there are several kinds of difficult subjects that are recognized as hard. Do you know what is the most difficult thing to do in Hetian jade's theme of flowers, birds, cordyceps, landscapes, architecture, and characters? I want to face this problem, almost all jade carving masters will have the same recognition, that is, characters.
Why do the characters of the characters are the most difficult to engrave? The jade carving masters know the works of landscapes, architecture, and flowers. When carving, they must grasp its "morphology" to highlight its main features; the animal-themed works are carved. It is necessary to grasp the form as well as to grasp the "demeanor" and highlight its vitality; while the sculpture of the subject matter must depict both the "form" and the "demeanor", but also the "mentality" and the "mindset" of the character. It is expressed through the "demeanor", and the depiction of the activity in the heart makes the work have thoughts, souls and vitality.
Character theme, strict requirements for jade materials
The jade carving works of the character theme are very strict on the jade material. First, the jade material must be clean and uniform in color; the second part of the face must not have any flaws, cracks, black spots or markings; finally, the material should be warm, oily and tough. In short, good jade will increase the charm and charm of the characters, and those jade, brittle, variegated, and jealous jade materials cannot be used for character production, so many jade carving masters first consider after getting a piece of material. It is a character, if you are not considering other topics.
Character theme, strict design requirements
The jade carving of the character theme has strict requirements on the proportion of various parts of the human body. The ratio of the eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth and ears of each face is different. The ratio of limbs to body is in standing position and kneeling position. It is different when it is sitting and sleeping. All of these designs must have a profound artistic background. When the painters portray the positive portraits of the people, they pay attention to the "three courts and five eyes". When depicting the proportion of the heads in the body, they follow the principle of "standing seven, five, three, three".
In the jade carving, we pay more attention to the different depictions of the individuality of the characters. The important parts use exaggerated techniques, and the unimportant places are simplified, faded or ignored. The jade carving works mainly through the change of the eyebrows of the characters, showing different character characteristics, such as the kindness of the goddess of mercy, the eyebrows of Luohan, the eyebrows of the ladies, and the eyebrows of the gentleman.
Character theme, strict requirements for production
In the production of jade carvings on the subject matter, many details, such as hair, hair, hair accessories, eyelids, eyelids, eyeballs, costumes, accessories, etc., must be refined and perfected.
Many jade carving masters feel the meaning of the phrase "Drawing people difficult to draw hands". For them, it is even more difficult to "carve people", and to clarify the proportion of body proportions between small squares. There is a hand with bones and flesh, a hand that can express the character of the character, and a hand that is unified with the theme of the work. It is difficult to do it without the master of the master.
For the jade carving master, the most difficult subject to be engraved is the character. The various characters of the character must be drawn on the small jade. It is not an easy task. The jade carving teacher who creates beauty for us deserves our admiration!
