Mountain paper cutting tutorials and paper cutting patterns
If you need to make a paper-cut work containing a landscape pattern, the main cutting object should be the mountain. Many people may think that cutting the mountain should not be difficult, as it is the background after all, but this is not actually the case. Although the paper-cutting of mountains is relatively easy to operate alone, because mountains often play a foil role in other scenery, objects, and people in a complete paper-cut work, so the positioning and depiction of mountains should be more focused on the relationship with other scenes in the work. Harmony of elements. In this paper-cut mountain tutorial, we will give detailed instructions on paper-cutting the mountain.
1. Preparation: Take two pieces of colored paper and fold them twice to make each piece into four layers, or take eight pieces of colored paper and staple them in two pieces with a stapler.
2. Tracing: Trace the picture on the bound paper and mark the locations of the mountains, small trees and small houses in the mountains.
3. Cutting: The techniques used to express landscapes in paper-cut works are all based on generalized freehand brushwork. The large mountains must not be cut according to the proportions of real mountains and real trees, but small trees, small bridges, and small houses. House as a foil. The texture of the mountain can only be cut into a few strips at appropriate positions to give people a point-and-click feel. Whether these textures are straight or curved depends on the overall shape of the mountain. They must be sparse or dense, and must not be arranged evenly. Otherwise it will look unnatural and dull.

As the saying goes: "It is easy to cut a mountain, but it is difficult to cut a scene." The difficulty lies in what should be big and what should be small. Cutting out small trees in the scenery is different from other paintings that faithfully reflect the objective form, but takes the general trend and is highly refined. For example, the willow tree in the paper-cut work "Returning at Dusk" only cuts the main branches of the shape, but does not cut off its leaves. , and for example, the pine trees and shrubs in the paper-cut work "Water Village" only reflect their large shapes, and cannot be based on the actual proportion to the mountains. Instead, the trees are made larger.
The houses, towers, bridges, boats, people, etc. in the cut scene should be cut as small as possible compared to the overall paper-cut layout, so that their small size can highlight the size of the mountain and the depth of the scene.
