Observe the modeling purpose

The purpose of Luo Hansong's artistic modeling is "modeling according to trees" and "performing arts according to materials". It uses superb artistic expression techniques to excavate the highest artistic realm from the ordinary tree shape and maximize the ornamental value

Modeling technique

Commonly used techniques include cutting, binding, pressing, binding, hanging, etc. The pruning modeling is relatively simple, and the modeling techniques such as binding, pressing, binding and hanging are relatively difficult, which requires the shaper's artistic imagination, operation skills and the stem and branch conditions of the tree

In the modeling process, the artistic processing must be carried out according to the natural beauty of the seedlings, that is, the beauty must be adjusted according to the tree conditions, and the beauty must be added to the beauty, so as to make the modeling strong and clear

Specific operation

Shearing: various shapes can be made by taking advantage of the pruning resistance and small leaf shape of Luohan pine, such as round sphere, conical, multi-layer sphere, etc., which can be trimmed according to the pre-designed graphics

For example, when trimming three-layer spherical trees, select a sapling with obvious trunk and good upright shape first. The upper, middle and lower three balls should be gradually larger in order to coordinate the proportion and have better ornamental. Generally, it is appropriate to trim the new branches when the shoots are 20 ~ 30cm. It needs to be trimmed many times to make each layer spherical, round and compact

Binding: strong bamboo stick and strong hemp rope can be selected for binding modeling. The bamboo stick and branches can be tied tightly with hemp rope, and then one end of the bamboo stick is fixed on the trunk, so that the branches can grow in a specific direction according to the wishes of the modeler by adjusting the direction of the bamboo stick

Pressing: pressing modeling is mainly through the method of bending and tilting the trunk, so that the tree presents an artistic beauty completely different from the vertical level on the inclined plane

Because the branches of Luohan pine are like human arms, and the clusters form hemispherical leaves, which are planted on the top of the branches, like human palms. Coupled with the bent tree body, it is like a receptionist bending his arms to welcome guests. It is very vivid
