Modelling technique's common techniques are cutting, tying, pressing, tying and hanging. Trimming modeling is relatively simple, but it is more difficult to tie, press, bind and hang modelling technique, which requires stylist's artistic imagination, operation skills and the state of the stems and branches of the tree.
In the process of modeling, we must carry out artistic processing according to the natural beauty of seedlings, that is, we must tailor the trees and add aesthetic feeling to make the modeling strong and distinct.
Specific operation of scissors: We can make use of the characteristics of Luohansong's large pruning resistance and small blade shape to make various shapes, such as spherical, conical, multi-layer spherical and so on. , only need to be trimmed according to the pre-designed graphics.
For example, when pruning a three-layer sphere, first choose seedlings with obvious trunk and good upright shape. The above three kinds of balls should be longer and bigger, which is more ornamental in proportion. Generally, it is advisable to prune new branches when they are 20 ~ 30 cm away, and prune them several times to make each layer round and dense.
Tie: You can use strong bamboo sticks and tough hemp rope for modeling. Tie the bamboo stick and the branches tightly with hemp rope, and then fix one end of the bamboo stick on the trunk to make the branches grow in a specific direction according to the wishes of the stylist, thus achieving the purpose of modeling.
Pressing: Pressing modeling is mainly to bend and tilt the trunk, so that the tree presents a completely different artistic beauty on the inclined plane from the vertical plane.
Because the branches of Podocarpus are like human arms, the hemispherical leaves produced by the cluster are planted at the top of the branches like the palms of human hands, and the curved tree body is like a greeter bending his arms to greet guests, which is very vivid.
