Translucent Tulle

In the traditional Chinese woodcut prints,from the monochrome ink prints before the Song Dynasty to the late Song Dynasty,a set of vermilion and black and red colors were added to make the woodcut prints more vivid.Then,with the maturity of printing technology and the development of society,more colors appeared,which realized the richness of the picture level of the prints and formed the results of water print woodcut making overprint.The overprint technique in Chinese water print woodcut can be traced back to the Ming Dynasty,when multicolor overprint printmaking formed a new artistic expression.Water print woodcut enriches its expression with its own unique painting language.The visual sense presented to us by the picture is a diversified form of painting.From exploration to familiar with the use of board color matching to the creation of individual painting,people can better understand the polysemy,complexity,creativity and extension of water print woodcut color matching.With the development of water print woodcut to modern times,overprint,as a way of expression of painting creation technique,its context is also developing and changing with the continuous innovation of painters.This paper discusses the "translucent" effect pursued by water print woodcut.Through the water and ink characteristics of water print woodcut,the subjective layout and arrangement show the level of the picture and the clear artistic conception of overprint.The halo dyeing and superposition effect of water print woodcut engraving are like "Tulle",so from the perspective of tulle,it can be divided into "color" and "shape".Take "color" as the expression of creation,so as to study the transparency and superposition of water print woodcut colors;The creative theme based on the "shape" of tulle is also an interpretation of the concept of "face",which is associated with the dynamics of life from the process of neat lines to overall deformation.Through the depth of ink,the arrangement of impressions and the combination of lines and surfaces,the artistic conception of the picture is formed.Combined with the artist’s case and personal creation,the creation with the theme of "24 solar terms" forms the picture effect through the superposition of colors and the hierarchy of lines,so as to show the characteristics of "translucency" of water print woodcut.
