Appraisal of Wang Dafan Porcelain Painting

In Wang Dafan's early years, most of the figure paintings were rich and longevity tests, arhats on tigers, Eight Immortals and so on. In her later years, Mulan joined the army, heard chickens dancing, and her mother-in-law tattooed, paying attention to the times of her works. Most of the imitations are his figure paintings in the 1930s and 40s, and there are also a few works in the 1950s and 1960s. Judging from the characteristics of Wang's figure painting, there are mainly the following characteristics:

First, the lines of the pen are thick, similar to the traditional line drawing methods, such as the four wonders of the ancient tour and the line drawing. Most of them are center pens, simple, thick and round, with unique composition and strong decoration. This is the biggest difference between Wang Dafan and Wang Qi's figure painting with strokes. However, it is difficult for imitators to learn bones by hooking lines, and they lack mellow and powerful charm. Some are used at the center and side, which is meaningless.

Second, the facial depiction of the characters is exquisite, focusing on the change of light and shade. Western painting has sketch relationship and light and shadow change, and its daubing technique is unique and stereoscopic. Wang's paintings of ladies are crowned with "Phoenix Eye" and "Sakura Mouth", which have distinctive features and formed a habitual program.

Third, the background of figure painting depicts lush trees, bamboo and stone huts and wild flowers Shan Ye, dyed green, grass green, turquoise and dark green, with meticulous brushwork. Judging from the color design of Wang's works, firstly, works with gorgeous pictures, bright hair, big scenes and many characters always use bright and dazzling colors (such as carmine and red) according to the needs of the theme, and minor characters are generally set off with ochre, yellow and blue; Second, the color fill is thicker. On the basis of double hook sketch, figure painting uses thick, deep and gorgeous colors for multi-level rendering, paying attention to light and dark levels and changes in temperature and warmth, and has the artistic effect of traditional meticulous painting. The imitation is dyed flat, thick, with little change in yin and yang levels, stiff tone transition and little moist feeling.

In addition, Wang Dafan has also developed the method of "floor-to-floor pastel", which does not need glass white to fill the background color, but directly fills the porcelain tire with pigment, and then covers it with snow white, water green and other materials, which simplifies the process and is more picturesque.
