Hi IBC!

One of My current project, Water and landscape penjing- "Shuihan"

Shuihan penjing Dsc_0201


Shuihan penjing Dsc_0202


This is still in its preliminary, Rocks and trees are not in fixed position yet.
Comments and suggestions are welcome.
Changing a thing or two will create a "different" kind of penjing, depending on the dominant feature.

regards,
jun Smile

Hi Jun,

I am quite sure you will unearth your talent once again with this newly-started project Smile
What I want to ask you here is that: as you know the shorter trees are preferred to use in back of the taller trees in a forest work to create a depth feeling. Now I see in your composition that a big rock (at the back) is placed behind a smaller one (at left). Does this rule (creating depth feeling by placing small ones in back) not valid for rocks?
Or should we just simply consider the rocks as mountains: taller is far away & smaller is close to us?

Thanks
Taner

Bro,

where do you get those fantastic stones and so well put together.
My only comment would be that the area just above the cave, between the two mountains seems to need something.
Sitting back to enjoy.
Thanks for sharing.

Alexandra,

Not so big really, I am reducing the sizes of my current projects. and trying not to be tempted making very huge ones...Six man carry is the max this days..hehehe.

Try to do small penjings, its a different kind of fun than regular bonsai... Then, when you advanced further you'll learn that is is more complicated than regular bonsai. You have to learn bonsai, you have to learn perspective, You'll have to learn geography as well. plus different types of penjing. that is why it is more fun and challenging than regular bonsai. give it a try it is rewarding.


regards,
jun Smile

Hi Taner,

Yes it is the opposite of forest planting, for various reasons:
1. For the more obvious one, Unlike tree groupings where trunks and branches of overlapping trees can be partially seen even the ones in the back, Using huge rocks it is not possible as it will blocks smaller rocks behind the scene. maybe only in the the side, this helps to create a "triangle outline" of the composition, In some compositions where rock (mountain ) groupings were done with significant gaps with each other it can be done but the problem there would be the size of the pot/tray. you'll be needing extra wide/deep trays.
2. In real life scenery, the closer the objects the more details you see and the farther they gets the lesser details you see. which is also being applied in penjing. Using smaller rocks at the front you can create believable detailed near objects, the the huge rocks at the back will represent middle scenery of mountains, at the backmost mountains (biggest rocks) will represent mountainous outlines with just the shape being visible.
3. Then there's an element of perspective. this doesn't mean linear perspective only the the ones use in architecture. Curvilinear perspective should also be applied, here smaller rocks at the front plays a very important role.
4. Vanishing point of the horizon of perspective is guide ....and there is no rule, just guidelines and commonsense.

Hey Bro,

thanks for all the informative responses. As to a BCI tour, I am a bit more fortunate, having family in China as you might remember, and I prefer to see at my own speed. So after my nephew has finished his studies and is at University or apprenticed [ say 5 years or so ] I will be able to visit the Scholars of China [ in areas other than Penjing ].
Later.
Khaimraj

*Just a private bit, my nephew was sent to me to finish his education. In case you are wondering.

Jun bro,

as always, you made a good piece of art Smile ,
....and you inspire me always to do some new artistic designs and follow your concepts in making bonsai/penjing, but my problem is I don't know where to get those huge and beautiful rocks since I don't even know where to get some esp. in our area Crying or Very sad ...But anyway, nice one bro, keep 'em coming...Thanks for posting...

Bro,

for what you might be using them for, I would suggest, you shade in three strong tones, a light, medium and dark.
Say B, 4B and 6b or 9B and if needed some acrylic White, use a good 140LB hot press cotton paper if you can get it.
They don't have to be large, say 5 x 7 " [ 13 x 18 cm ] sheets.
That why you can see it all in one glance.

If they exist in nature, reality, use a 45 deg. angled light and just observe your shadows and light and see how how they affect your sculptural work.
It's a pattern, and the more attractive you make it, the longer the viewer will want to study your work.

Additionally, you would have to display them under the same lighting, used to create the effort.

As I repeat, attractive.
AND will obviously just keep getting better, much talent in that noodle/soul of yours.
Later.
Khaimraj

* Of course the meaning will happen naturally, I am sure you guys have word play, as seen in Chinese and English [ UK and US ]

Very nice Wink

What is the grey medium in the center part ? Soil ?

Do you intend to put moss on it ?

Try to move your head to the right a bit for balance (in this way, your bottom would be hidden behind the rock also) Very Happy
BTW, what/where is my trophy?

No, No LLB. I am an "old school" guy heheh. I use and prefer free hand drawings, even on my Architectural works...I am just using the camera effect to check for balance of the bonsai/penjing I am making. free hand drawings came from the heart.

AlainK,

The grey medium is a very refined black sand. Moss won't thrive on it.
