Just collect the biggest trunk you can find and stuff it into a hand made pot of your choice and torture with wire the first sign of life the poor thing tries to send up.

Rules are usually rigid!!
Guidlines can be like trunks and branches bent. However you should understand the rules, so you can have fun in breaking them. Just a thought. Pup

I now tend to think that we never really break the rules only our understanding of them increases.
Why do we go for the left right then back branch. It is so we can see the trunk and create depth to the composition. Often a tree will present a way to do this without the 123 method. So if you are styling a clump keep this in mind that you want to be able to see the structure of the composition as well as give it depth as you select branches to use. We tend not to have branches crossing the trunk because it breaks up the smoothness in wich we view the tree. If a branch is able to cross a trunk without doing this then it is quite exceptable. It's not what the rules state but what they stand for. The more you can reason them and understand them the less blindly you will be following them.

I understand big fat trunks in tiny pots with thin wired branches.

[ I just fear, that without specific guidelines, my "wilder" trees, the ones that don't seem to fit any one style will still look like they do now in 10 years. They may all look like some new style I invented, and I'm no Chinese scholar.
Sorry this is so long...Will someone hit me over the head with a chopstick and clarify this for me?[/QUOTE] Not to worry as long as the trunk is enormous and the branches are tiny and some what organized.  I see nothing wrong with creative design esp if it suites the species of tree your working with. Just make sure the trunk is...did I already mention the trunk size?Last edited by kingkong : 8-Mar-2008 at 09:26 PM. |
