Lesson 71: Introduction to Traditional Chinese Peony Painting (with subtitles)

Hello everyone In this class session, we... It's about drawing such small sectors. This is a set I am giving to everyone as part of this专题. Xiao Shanzǐ's special topic Ten lessons in total Each class consists of two compositions. A fan surface has two sides. So one fan surface is equivalent to two compositions. Let's draw one first. First, draw a front view. This peony facing us directly This peony here is Let me first introduce the colors to everyone. This color is Say it again This is cinnabar. Peony red Cinnabar and malachite These are the leftover colors from painting something else. It's a pity to have messed it up like this. So we just drew it directly. First, apply the cinnabar pigment to the root of the brush. As for this pen, I'm using a small-style pen. The tip exposure of this pen is 5.0. I actually didn't measure the diameter carefully. It's probably around 1.23. Alright, let's take the pen. Adjust it at the brush handle end. The color of cinnabar Don't make it too thick. Where on earth are you heading? We adjust it to about one centimeter from the tip of the pen. But it will seep into this thickness. Let it seep in naturally. Transferred here, then it will penetrate the brush tip. And then, take this peony red, ah From the pen tip's modulation at the pen's degree point Make it darker as it goes downward. When adjusting it, first dip a little Dip the tip of the brush in a little bit Then, head toward the brush tip. Don't directly do it all at once Dip this brush into this color. In that case, it's easy to lose control. And it gets darker toward the tip of the brush. We need to make it stronger. The intensity is gradually increasing. Ah, start from one millimeter and gradually become denser. And then, again, take the tip of the pen Apply rouge within 10 millimeters Blush within 10 millimeters, that's it After dipping the tip of the brush into cinnabar Work it in to within 10 millimeters. It's fine even if it's a bit more. But it must be overly natural. Make it transition naturally and softly into the color realm. Alright, now let's draw. We need to draw one facing us from the front. When writing, we divide it into several combinations to draw. Group One Ah, this is a combination. Yeah, the moisture content is pretty high, huh? You're messing with the color grading, aren't you? The pen is full of water; let's suck some out. Suck in this color. That way, everyone can see clearly. Then we go fill the empty space. And then take this other set; this is one set. A group is finished drawing. Three items form a set; this is a combination. Then, let's move a bit further down. Then, below that, add another one I'll measure the size of the brush for everyone shortly. Be careful not to make this control too large. Because this is a small amount. Good, this is another set Ah, let's measure it. Ah, from here to here, the length is Nearly 7 centimeters From here to here, the length is also 7 centimeters. This is a semicircle surrounding this flower. So the overall shape of the flower is about 14 centimeters. Oh no, can't make it too big. Be careful to control the size of your brushstrokes. Good, let's continue. The tip still needs a touch of rouge color. Alright, above his left side, let's add another combination. This is one, two Such combinations as the three brushes are our most commonly used ones. Then go fill in the blanks When filling in the blanks, the brushwork technique is... A little more broken, please. Because that fussy part is just a bit fragmented like that. Cover the white spot. Good, let's continue; add a bit more rouge at the tip of the brush. Let him come and go freely. This time, let's do another set on the left side. Extend first, then pull back inward. Pull it in, then Fill in this blank There's just one small gap left; let's fill it in. So that's how it is? This bunch of flowers is roughly sketched out now. It feels like there's a bit of left-right symmetry between the two, right? Let's bring this part out a bit more. Oh, break this symmetry here. Now you use a little bit The method of sketching to draw him Point it out to him. Okay, then what about this one on top here as well? Ah, let him look out from one side. Don't you care about both sides? Same size, right? Alright, this flower is finished—so simple. And then, right at the center, let's add a touch of anthocyanin. This one Deepen the floral heart part for him. Dip a little cyan into the tip of the brush and move it back and forth while rotating. Evenly distribute it to him. Good Then Board (a vehicle) Light it up and deepen this fickle heart. We squeeze out the excess water. Good job, bud! Otherwise, what about this point of the stamen? Can't light it up; let's try the tip. When dipping, we need to pay attention to this. Don't dip it too thickly. There should be moisture in the brush, then dip it into the color. As for this color, there's no need for silkworm water. Many people think they don't need to add water. Petal center For this small fan painting, try to use a small brush as much as possible. Turn around, you must be uncomfortable. Because it needs to spread outward, this sensation If you're not feeling well, you can just turn around and draw. That's good enough. No need for a circle, anyway. It doesn't have to be drawn perfectly round and neat for him. That's unnecessary either. And then, my little pen heart? Let's click on this heart-shaped spot here. This bud We'll use the tip of the head to touch it. Nod slightly. Then, let's adjust the color of the leaves. What about the color of the leaves? We immediately grabbed a plate. A bit crowded, but with anthocyanin. Anthocyanin red yellow Vermilion As for this fan, it's a set. Try to buy fresh ones. There are many that are medium-rare, you know. Many of them are half-cooked. It becomes unusable when it's only half-cooked. The water absorption and color retention are both poor. If you draw it, there will be streaks and patches. First, let's mix the anthocyanin pigment into the brush. Then, adjust the gamboge. That's about it. After adjusting, let's have a little head green. Squeeze a little more. Squeeze a little head green And then, at the belly of the brush... Because this leaf painting is relatively small We will just take this The tip is green at the belly of the brush. Finally, add a small amount of indigo and rouge. I can't draw very many leaves. We shouldn't draw too many leaves. Okay, this is anthocyanin. Add a bit more rouge. What happens when you mix cyan and rouge together? Its color is purplish. Make the color of the brush stroke more varied. Plant it down. First, let's have a set of leaves Where is it? Here it is. Then below it Another set, please. Tell it to go up there above. This one Squeeze it out for it Hello Let it have a bit of this structure Then below, let's draw the trunk. It feels a bit symmetrical, doesn't it? They're about the same height. That definitely won't work. Then we'll come back here again Draw another set Hello, Liye That's enough to do. Nice touch, Yeh Jin. We'll directly outline with ink. Make its color a bit darker, please. Highlighting the flower's brilliance That's good enough. And then, the pen adds to it Let's apply a bit more rouge. Draw its branches directly. Ah, we'll let the branch extend over from the side, okay? Here You can come over too. It's bent now. One more over here. Okay, then extend outward a Ah, this indicates that there's a bend right here. You might also imagine it as The leaf growing here curves from this point. You could also imagine it this way. You can just plant flowers right here. That doesn't matter at all. The key is to make its structure like this. Just a bit more complicated would be fine. And then we are here Hey, give me a little too. Just dab a little toothpaste on it. Add a bit of gamboge here in the brush. Finally, add a touch of rouge. Add a bit more rouge, then adjust it again. Then, let's click on the dental package. A bit more gamboge and cinnabar, please. Board point Good Ah, tap here, tap there, ah That's enough. Light it here too. Good, this positive aspect, this piece is now finished. Then, we turn it over and draw the other side. As for the color on the other side, then We need to add a little bit. I'm adding some gamboge. Make its color lighter. Let's draw this as Two Qiao and Five Dan. First, take this gamboge I'll just take this one I have a thread here. Remove First, we take this gamboge and pearl powder. Adjust it at the base of the pen. Blend the gamboge with the pearl mark. Oh, it's turned into another color, a bit reddish-gold. Golden color Another bit of this gamboge Ah Zhu, adjust a bit more toward the tip of the brush. Add a bit more adjustment at the tip of the pen. You don't have to match my color. You only need to draw the color changes. And finally, at the tip of the pen We'll adjust this peony red within 10 millimeters. Let's not adjust the pen's color for now. Cannot apply rouge The color of the rouge will make it appear this way The color is too intense, too abrupt, too heavy. Alright, let's draw one then. Hmm. First, draw this; let's draw two flower buds. First, draw one A larger flower bud Fortunately, above it This is a small flower head. Alright, and then? Below it Let's do a larger petal next. That's enough. Ah, this is a The light-colored part Then the darker-colored part As for the light-colored part? It's basically the same color grading as before. Pearl, pearl, pearl sand, ah Adjust it at the root of the pen. And then, as for the peony red? Adjust it from the pen tip to the pen angle. Once more, the rouge The 10 millimeters at the tip of the brush, that's where the rouge is applied. The color should be made a bit darker. We draw the upper part Let me handle this half for you. Reach out! It just came out above. Add a touch more rouge at the tip of the brush. Cut out the flower's center No need for anthocyanin. Just that Just the color of the rouge is enough. Then take a look at where further adjustments are needed. Don't make it symmetrical on both sides. Then can we do it? A bit higher, please. Put another one above it. It gives a feeling of being higher on one side and lower on the other. That's enough. Okay, then what? At this location Another little petal, please The gamboge pigment is in the brush. Use it a bit shallower Then what about adjusting the bead marker? Just a tiny bit of rouge directly at the tip of the brush Just a tiny touch of rouge at the tip of the brush is enough. Fortunately, this spot below Let's draw a flower bag. Here it is. Hello Now, let's draw the leaves. Still the anthocyanin? Mix it together with gamboge. And then, in the pen What a mess! A little head green Turning the head green is at the pen's degree mark; no need to go further. Don't adjust it in there. At the tip of the pen, we adjust Vermilion We were there for a while at that point, you know, at the flower's core. Let's start with a set of leaves on its left side. What about this one? Squeeze it out for it. A little higher Let this leaf be... There is a change. Then below We're doing this to indicate a chronological relationship. Add a bit more at the tip. Vermilion Hey, be careful not to draw Leaf too big. A bit lower, please. Hello That's enough. Then, we adjust a little bit Gamboge Dip the brush tip into the rouge once more. First, draw the structure of these two. Then we can branch out right here. Go find the main flower Head! Good thing is, right below this spot, add one more Let it connect to the small flower bud. Well, here we give it Draw a little structure, okay? This branch and this leaf seem to have a source. Alright, one more. This feels a bit too plain; add one more, please. Alright then. Ah, right next to it. Branch off at this location here Leaf, divide into a group. A touch of this rouge at the tip of the pen Let it have a set of Alright And then how do you do it? Open point Click it a bit. Outline this leaf vein. Leaves also need to be controlled in size, because of this The flower head is also relatively small. The leaf can't be too large. Let me measure how big the flower head I drew is for everyone. Ah, this is 10 centimeters. Length is 10 centimeters, width is 9 centimeters. And then, this part here is 20 centimeters. Not even 20, maybe 19. This width, length is 25 Something like this size, roughly. That way, everyone can better grasp it. Okay, dot the center point of that spot. Petal center Tap it again with the head bud, tap it again with the porcelain bud. Alright, that's enough. This small piece of artwork is also finished. And then, let's take a look at this side—it's already completely dry. Oh, this side hasn't dried yet. After drying completely, the color will become slightly lighter. The colors on both sides are different, right? Because we added gamboge Although it's within the same color scheme But its color is different. Hmm. That's enough. Ah, slightly, we are below him. Let there be a little atmosphere. It should be And then, we don't need to withdraw money. As for this one, there's no need to withdraw money; just stamp it here. Stamp in the lower right corner That's enough. Oh, I'm turning the three-sided one horizontally. Hey, everyone, you can see everything now. Alright, this side here. Turn it sideways so everyone can see. Alright, we'll conclude here for now.
