悬腕法

　　执笔法　中国绘画执笔同于书法，虽然各人喜好不同，执法也无定式，但初学必须要掌握基本要领。拿毛笔时用大指、食指把住笔杆，呈“龙眼”或“凤眼”状，（见图1、2、3、）中指紧随食指把住笔杆。执住笔后，一般笔杆不超过食指的第一指节。指实、掌虚、腕平、五指齐力，运转收放要自然。书法执笔较严谨，绘画执笔较灵活，可直掌可横卧，（见图4、5）执笔可略高一些，笔锋转动才能灵活，腕、肘、肩、身互相配合，动转方能得力。

　　执笔起初一定要标准，从有法到无法的过程。苏东坡说：“执笔无定法，要使虚与宽。”他的意思是，执笔采用哪种方法并不重要，只要适合自己的生理条件，怎么执笔都行。关键是执笔的掌心一定宽阔、豁亮，掌心宽阔豁亮了，才能行笔无阻，挥写自如。

 Handle the brush in Chinese painting  is the same with calligraphy, although there is no certain formulary in handle the brush, and moreover, each one has their own favor, the basic point should be mastered at the beginning of learning.
