Hello everyone. Welcome to the O-Art channel. Today we are going to paint a painting of a snowy landscape together. The theme is Emei Mountain in China. Painting landscape is very free and casual. We can paint as much as we want, expressing our feelings for nature. Before painting this landscape painting, let's emphasize the casualness of the snowy landscape first. This is the most important point of landscape painting. Today we are going to show you Zhang Daqian's snowy landscape painting. Zhang Daqian is a famous Chinese painter. His painting is very free and casual. His brush strokes are very distinctive. His painting is absorbing the essence of the famous family for generations. He is very mature and can paint as he wishes. In Zhang Daqian's painting, we can see that his brush strokes are very free and casual. Emei Mountain is one of Zhang Daqian's favorite famous mountains. There are also many Emei Mountains in his paintings. His painting style is from the early Chinese landscape painting of various villages. You can see the influence of Emei Mountain Emei Mountain is the origin of Taoism. Emei Mountain has always been an important symbol of Chinese culture. Here, we use ink to highlight the mountain. We use a pencil to create the base of the mountain. We use a blue-and-white brush to rub the paper back and forth to create the effect of painting the village. Here, we need to pay attention to the moisture in the brush. We start with the trunk of the tree. The ink here pays attention to the use of moisture. The ink must be divided into three colors. You can see the depth of the layer between the thick ink. The brush strokes must be free and casual. This is written in the way of calligraphy. Now, let's apply the second layer of ink. Pay attention to the depth of the layer between the different inks. We use the mountain to draw the lines. Now, let's do the first layer of ink. We use a pencil to create the light and shadow between the mountains. We use the pencil to create the light and shadow between the mountains. Here, we draw a few rooms at random to add fun to the picture. Here, we use the mountain brush to do the second layer of ink. This is the famous long staircase of Emei Mountain. Here, we use a random brush to draw the shape of the mountain. Now, let's do the third layer of ink. We use the brush strokes of calligraphy to create the layer between the mountains. Now, let's do the third layer of ink. This is the mineral pigment of China. In Chinese ink painting, it is often used to color the rocks and houses. The light color can make the picture more elegant. Here, we use the Changliu brush. Zhang Daqian uses the mineral pigment of China. For example, in the painting of Hua Qinghe, there are some white spots. This is the expression of using Hua Qing pigment on the cloud and moss. In Zhang Daqian's later works, he created the painting of Pomo Pocai and sprinkled Hua Qinghe ink in a delicate way. Between the trees and the clouds, he added Hua Qing pigment. This is one of the characteristics of Zhang Daqian's painting. Using heavy Hua Qing pigment instead of heavy ink can create a rich sense of layer. Finally, let's explain the theme of the painting. This is a poem often used by Zhang Daqian.
