Lesson 1 - Learning to Paint Peonies - Traditional Chinese Painting and Calligraphy - With Subtitles

Hello everyone, welcome to the learning class at Yú Sùxiá Shūhuā Studio. This lesson is the first class of "Spiritual Energy Savings Peony." This column series is specially designed for beginners with no prior foundation in the subject. This column approaches the topic from two aspects, gradually unfolding the study of willpower in a progressive manner. The first part is the stage of learning the fundamentals. We start by understanding the characteristics of peonies and the color harmony of their petals. How are the structure and perspective relationships of the flower head used to express the rhythm and color harmony of the leaves and branches? Explanation of color coordination and rhythm in simple and complex leaf combinations and branch combinations From fundamentals, from initial contact to mastery The second part leads everyone through the experience of observing Zhong Xiaofu's live creation process. The process of live creation of Zhong Xiaofu's works We engage in copying and imitating a wide range of works with varying lengths and structures. To strengthen the improvement and proficiency of techniques making us beginners experience the process of sketching with a brush Gradually be able to independently copy general works by Zhong Xiaofu The process of our copying, the simulated copying process It is a step-by-step explanation of the color adjustment and tonal harmony process. Now let's begin learning the first lesson. First, when portraying any object, we must understand its characteristics. That way, you can better express it. So when you paint peonies, does it matter whether people recognize them as peonies? So we must first grasp its characteristics; only then can we properly portray it, right? First, let's analyze the structure of the peony flower for everyone. Let's take a look; the peony plant consists of three parts in total. Flowers, branches, and leaves It is a perennial shrub-like plant. Cold-resistant and drought-resistant Its flowers are relatively larger. So let's take a look; since it's a perennial It sprouts anew every year, so its old trunk grows rather weathered. Let's take a look—the old trunk has basically undergone artificial refinement. Nowadays, the peonies commonly seen are all artificially cultivated. The flowers of wild peonies are a bit smaller. Artificial peonies are now becoming increasingly superior as cultivation techniques improve. Nowadays, there are also many and highly diverse varieties of peonies. We can take a look together, explaining while you enjoy the viewing. The flower head of the peony is relatively large. Moreover, the colors are also vibrant and colorful. Many color varieties There are so many varieties that I won't introduce each one to you individually. Its flower diameter is also of unequal sizes. The large flower head is about twenty to thirty centimeters in size. The flower head is also about ten or fifteen centimeters. So when we perform, Try to reflect differences in length appropriately. One large and one small flower head We'll draw a head for your work. The flower head can be drawn a bit smaller. For larger works, we'll make the design more elaborate and intricate. This is something that can be flexibly adapted. Take a look at this flower head. Later on, I'll explain it to everyone. The specific structure of the peony flower head Its three-dimensional sense of depth How to understand perspective relationships Before learning the techniques We must first prepare the tools. What supplies do you need to prepare? First, we need to prepare a brush pen like this one. I'm using the outflow length for this flower pen. What is "outwind"? From here to here This is called "showing off." The wind speed is 6.2. Caliber What is caliber? Here From here to here Its width caliber This is 1.4 centimeters. The blade length is 6.2 centimeters. This kind of pen has better water absorption. Use a fine-point brush. What is a sharp tip? The outside is lamb's hair. The darker shade inside This is wolf-hair. This is called a pointed-tip brush. This is specifically used for drawing flower heads. Also prepare a hydrator like this one. When refilling this water dispenser We place the tip of the pen on this disc. Then place the brush root on this edge. Then pressing down further is for moisturizing. This type of hydration makes it easier to control moisture. Also, we need to prepare this kind of paint This paint is 32 milliliters. I'm using peony red. Peony red rouge Anthocyanin These are the colors we're using in this class. We must first get to know each other. This color is peony red, a distinct color. This is the color we commonly use. Other commonly used colors include Shu red. Shu Red Crimson These are all common colors. Yehzi is preparing gamboge. Then Huarui needs to prepare Tenghuang and Taibai. Mix it together These are all the things we need to prepare. Also prepare drawing paper. Drawing paper cannot use ordinary paper. We use xuan paper. And it must be raw xuan paper. Can it be done using medium-rare? Can raw Xuan paper be used? None of them are allowed. Must have raw Xuan paper What is raw Xuan paper? Let me show everyone this. What is called raw rice paper? Let me first demonstrate with a small example for everyone. This raw Xuan paper has particularly good color absorption. Better in terms of smoothness Let me try using ink color for everyone. Take a look, everyone It is placed on the paper. This color on paper It scattered. Its moisturizing quality is relatively better. Look, put this color on paper. It just blurs out. So this type of paper is called raw Xuan paper. Then what's the difference between it and half-cooked? Good Then let's take the half-cooked paper And this raw Xuan paper Put them together. Let's compare them. This time I'm adjusting the colors. Handle this transaction. I'm taking a large round pen. Let's adjust the color levels. Everyone, please don't learn from me yet. Let me demonstrate for everyone. Therefore, choosing the right painting material is very important. If the art supplies are not beautiful Then you simply couldn't produce a good result anyway. I'm adjusting a color gradient. Let me demonstrate for everyone What's the difference between their papers? That's why we cannot use semi-raw Xuan paper. Let's draw this artwork. Hello This is raw xuan paper. Let's draw two petals for everyone. That's smooth, isn't it? Then this one is medium rare. Let's add a bit more water too. Color correction water The moisture is gone. The color has disappeared too. Color it like that Also let me demonstrate for everyone Take a look, everyone This is the effect produced by semi-raw paper. This is the effect produced by raw Xuan paper. So, regarding raw Xuan paper, its color absorption rate The color saturation is more moisturizing. And more uniform as well Medium rare This situation will then arise. Let's have a little more. Why does this situation occur? Because its permeability is not strong Then if ordinary paper is used What kind of situation will arise? Put it aside first. Let's try it with ordinary paper. These are all the knowledge points we need to understand. Be able to draw this clearly Let's give it a try ourselves. So, this art supply You must definitely choose the correct one. A painting suitable for you This characteristic art material Hemipaper is suitable for calligraphy. And draw that ancient-style painting. Not ancient-style landscape painting Let's take a look. What does it look like when drawn on ordinary paper? This color is restless on top. It's not rare at all. Ordinary paper It's exactly the same as Shouxuan. This is Shouxuan. Then this is medium rare. Then this is raw Xuan paper. Let's try once more. This is raw Xuan paper. This is medium rare. That's the effect. So now we are Just use this paper Teach you how to draw petals How to hold and move the brush How to adjust colors Tools bought by beginners They are all new. Well, let's start by talking about How do we start writing with the new brush? The new pen we just bought A newly bought pen That's how it is Is the lid on correctly or not? Take off this hat Just throw it away. No longer needed. We usually finish the pen after use. After cleaning it thoroughly After tidying it up This lid can't be closed anymore. After it was covered Just this pen This pen tip section Just covered it up. No way It is not breathable. So this lid After we received the pen When you want to use it You can just throw it away. No, thank you. How do you start writing? Let me demonstrate for everyone When beginning to write We shouldn't go soak it. Put it directly into the water Then bit by bit Squeeze it open. Just squeeze it open like this. After breaking it open Need to clean it up a bit. Clean off the floating hairs above. Because of this pen They are all handcrafted. During its production process It will trim The pen tip on top of it During the pruning process There will certainly be omissions. The missing fine hairs are on it. Then we need to clean it off. This won't affect our brushwork. When transporting it Maybe this little fluffball There will be a little bit Stuck to this pen No problem. Once you use it, it's gone. It's gone after a few uses. Hello After cleaning it off We'll smooth it out. Smooth it out like this It's ready to use now. Now we start squeezing the colors First, we need to use this kind of square tray. This tray has no rim. Because of our way of drawing It doesn't need to be too plain. Therefore, this type of flat tray is more practical. Because we are color grading The brush tip also needs to have this color. Then this kind of square tray It's the kind of pen that can make you Lay it flat on this plate. If you're talking about this plate There's a path along There's a high-grade exit here. Then the brush won't lie flat. I can't adjust the color at the brush tip. From now on, when I'm color grading Everyone will be able to observe This is peony red. Let's start with peony red. Then there's rouge. This is rouge. This is anthocyanin. We must first learn Generally speaking Our petals At least three colors Let's learn it first How do you mix these three colors? The first step in color mixing is controlling water. Before this First, let me introduce to everyone You must use at least two pens. I am using This is the blue series. And the red series as well If it is many The more you practice, the more you'll have. Then the color Peony flowers come in a wide variety of colors. Then I might need to prepare four. These four branches Reddish tones Blue tones Purple tones and light color tones Light-colored tones primarily refer to Yellow Or white We don't really draw white much. Then yellow You need to use this light-colored pen Purple-colored pen It is also commonly used. So we need to prepare. Then let's start from the beginning When first practicing Prepare these two color schemes of pens That's basically sufficient. Good Let's get started right away. Let's talk about color grading. I'll just use this one directly. Red-toned flower head brush Before color grading Control the water First, soak this thoroughly We scrape In this Along the edge Scrape along the edge. When we hold a pen These three fingers Seize it Below this pen And then this finger To it Surround this pen. The thumb encircles this pen case. It's convenient for us when we are writing. Rotate the pen barrel back and forth It's like a lever. If you can't turn around When we are color grading You also need to rotate the pen barrel. You can just take a chopstick. or something like that Such a small amount First, practice a bit. Moving your fingers back and forth like this You also need to practice using chopsticks more often. Turn it like this the fingers that twirl the pen Increasingly flexible This is the cultivation of pen control ability. Good Now we're going to take these three fingers Grab it from below ring finger It's the thumb. Grab it from above Then This pen Put the pen down. Put it in water Give it a go back and forth Back and forth like this Replace the ink cartridge What is a pen refill? This place is called "Bixin." Inside Peel back the inside This place is called "Pen Nib." Let it be the pen core After also becoming soaked by water Let's scrape again Back and forth like this Scrape back and forth like this Scratch about seven or eight times To what extent Shake hard, don't let it drop But When we do it like this It contains moisture. The pen contains moisture. Yeah, right? Now this pen means Slowly absorbing water until full Then Let's go color grading. When color grading We touch the tip of the pen Look here With the tip of the pen Just dial a bit Then Scroll away This color Keep scrolling Keep turning the pen This color It's thin. In the brush A full layer of seasoning Tune it up more. It needs to be longer. Let it be inside this pen refill Swallow the color too. This is extremely important. First color You must adjust it carefully. No. Don't rush. Hello Call again Look And continue giving it As long as you are Rolling back and forth like this The colors naturally become evenly blended. Good Like this Scroll back and forth When we are color grading Be gentle as well. Don't press too hard. You must take this pen Treat it like a soft cotton ball. Then inside our pen It contains moisture. Is that right? If you squeeze it hard The moisture inside this soft cotton It suddenly came out. If you find water in the dish Run back and forth What does it mean? This moisture level is a bit too high. When adjusting colors This water keeps running back and forth along with it. Your moisture level is a bit high. This is just slightly a bit big. Slightly a bit big We can use It's acceptable to use the fee circle as well. You can use your fingers too. Give it to him. Suck on it twice like this Don't scratch it. Don't go in there and scratch. If you were to scrape here, Just scraped off the color Suck on it slightly like this You can also put it in the plate Wipe off the excess moisture. It's to prevent that moisture Flow into the deep color. Just messed up the color. Good Then, the thinness within the pen Got stained with color Now let's take a look We often adjust colors when The most common mistake made by beginners There is no color applied at the brush tip. Good Then we must first practice a bit. Rolling the brush to write What is a rolling pen? Just lay the pen completely flat. And then? Roll forward while scrolling Like this How to draw peony petals like this? It has a gap. Yeah, right? Let's take a look then. So let's take a look then. What do peony petals actually look like in reality? It's not round either. Is there a gap? Let's get to know the petals of the peony flower. You just need to know the peony petals. What does it look like? Then we must first learn How to draw peony petals Only you can handle this peony flower. Show it to them Only when talent is displayed can its structure be revealed. Peony petal It's not round at all. It has a gap. What about this writing style? it can then express The natural notch of the peony petal This one does not have grayscale. We are thinly spread Peony red I adjusted it inside the pen. This is the first color entry. We need to adjust it very evenly. Very thin This is the basic color. Then our second color The second color, what about it? Just gradually increase the ink density from the tip of the brush onward. Still this color Good Now, inside this pen here A light layer of peony red has already been applied. From the tip of the pen to the degree of the brush How do I make it stronger? Still allocate a little bit Knead it inward Where are you rubbing? Need to leave elsewhere Leave the pen To leave the plate Just the tip of the pen touches the paper. What is pen density? This pen here It's the Wind 6.2 The middle part It's about 3 centimeters or so. Downward Start from here to here This is called brush stroke density. We gradually concentrate it. It is also a gradual process. So you need to flick a little from the tip of the pen. Then adjust it this way. Just a bit more at the tip of the pen Mix it in here. When color grading We adjust while turning. How do you turn it? Like this, turn Then when you turn around You can turn in the forward direction. It can also be turned in the opposite direction. But I think Everyone is still turning in the positive direction. Then, the fingers twist like this Look Such a thing Come here Adjust bit by bit Like this And then, after it speeds up? You'll become more proficient at it. You can be like me. Quickly adjust But first, we must learn how to This fundamental brushstroke technique of rotation Now let me tell everyone about this. Learn how to practice using chopsticks Turning back and forth like this You've become proficient. Naturally Your brushwork has become proficient now. Then, when we adjust the colors Be gentle as well. What about this second color? From nib thickness to nib tip The color needs to be intensified. Good Now let's proceed The second brushstroke in color mixing The brushwork is still the same as it. Still like this Scrolling This time around, then It's in grayscale now. But the grayscale? Because it's a single color It's not very obvious. But the tip of the brush is getting darker and darker. From the pen's base to its tip 越来越浓 Now let's take a close-up look for everyone. This petal From the tip of the nib to the tip of the pen It is gradually becoming darker and darker. Yeah, right? Hello Then some people might feel The rotation in this direction Is there any pattern? To Turn it following the direction of the stroke. What pattern is that? I'll get everyone a small bottle. Here's a small bottle for everyone. Then you take this small bottle It's like your brush pen. When writing from left to right It's just rotating from left to right. Please don't ever rotate it like this. rotation That means You little bottle, spinning around in place by yourself And the pen? It's easy to twist into a tangled mess. So what? When we turn around Be careful about the direction of the pen. To follow the direction in which you are turning Stay aligned with the direction of that movement. Moreover, We must also pay attention to Do not let the pen rotate by itself. Don't translate too quickly. Proceed in this direction Naturally rotate the scroll Hello Then we are now This color From nib to tip After thickening Let's proceed with the second color mixing. What about this color? It's a dark color. The difficulty often lies in the dark colors. Good At the tip of the pen Adjust the rouge within 10 millimeters. Adjust rouge within 10 millimeters What concept is this? Dip the tip of the brush into a little rouge. Then we knead it within 10 millimeters. That is, one millimeter. Elsewhere You must leave the plate. Here is an example for everyone to follow Other places need to leave the plate Go turn it And at the tip of the pen We'll take a little bit. Dab a little of this rouge Then turn it. Turn to within 10 centimeters Everyone else has left. Within 10 millimeters slip of the tongue Hello Now let's draw Still like this translation Just keep scrolling like this Again Scrolling Now rolling like this A distinct color gradient has appeared. Is that right? Yeah, right? So how do you hydrate properly? The tip of the brush fades upon this altar. We're running a bit low on water now. The tip of the brush rests on this altar. The root of the tooth is slightly pale on this tooth. Press a bit lower. After topping up the water Let's adjust the pen tip. Then just refilled the water This water here The ink and moisture inside the pen It has an unequal stroke. That means the color has become lighter. But the moisture has increased. Then at this moment You must write quickly when handling the brush. If it's too slow, it's prone to dampness. So at this moment, we wield the brush. A bit faster, please. And this color has something like... Lived A sense of bounce Is that right? That is to say, the color here The color here is different. In that case The petals drawn It is alive. This is just a change. That's what we call a change in color. Then you now This doesn't need to be learned. But first, we need to Enhance your ability to control the pen. The Exercise of Petals So many The petals we see Is it wide in some parts and narrow in others? Long and short We can carry out this kind of thing. Petals' Practice Exercises in directionality These are all the things we will learn in our first class. Come here Is it long or short? Wide and narrow So many postures in just one direction So many directions What about the flower head? Its petals are located in different directions. Because this part is different It radiates outward from a single point. Then we must perform Petals in different directions The difficulty will be even greater. So, for this class session The main focus is on practicing petals. Exercise for this lesson Let me tell everyone Generally speaking It takes a month of practice. Only then can you master the control of the pen. Cultivate it properly. Especially beginners Never having held a brush pen This exercise Color mixing and brushwork practice It takes a month of practice. Don't worry, everyone. Practicing the fundamentals is especially important. Once you've solidified your fundamentals You draw the back side The more you practice, the smoother it becomes. Increasingly smooth Good Let's continue. Just like a moment ago From the tip of the pen to the degree of the brush We'll make it stronger and more intense. And at the tip of the pen A bit more rouge, please. The anthocyanin has not been adjusted yet. Hello Then the direction has changed. This is the flower of the Chinese chive. This direction has changed. Is it? And then? It's still possible to do it under the scallion. The petal under the green onion Let's go practice back and forth. This is a process. Don't rush. Hello Let's add a bit more color. When you notice that the pen's color is missing Just go and make up for it. Especially the color of the brush tip The consumption is relatively low. Especially the color from the nib to the tip The consumption is relatively high. We often replenish them. It's the color from the tip of the pen to the nib. And what else? It's diagonal. From above These are all exercises with large petals. And then there's the rolling pen too. It can also be rolled in the opposite direction. It's just rolling from bottom to top. This is also this lesson The important aspects of learning Because this is rolling in the opposite direction It will be somewhat more difficult. But once these fundamental skills are well-practiced Only then can you draw the flower clearly. The change of petals The head is not something that can be painted. Can't draw well A bit lower. So everyone can see more clearly Just move it a little These are all exercises with wide petals. And what else? Rolling pen from left to right Let's adjust the color a bit faster. Everyone, then During the gradual coloring process During practice Keep getting faster and faster. The speed of writing must also become increasingly faster. Only by having talent can one paint flowers well. Then first of all You must practice color adjustment speed. And the speed of writing Left I'm here now This batch seems to be a bit short on water again. What should I do? We still need to add a little water. And then? Add a bit more color Then this is the left side. On the left, then And downward direction On the left It's also like this rolling These damn pens It all needs to be thoroughly practiced and mastered. Practice makes perfect. These are all wide-petaled. And the practice of narrow petals Narrow-petaled Practice The practice is the same as that of the wide-petaled one. Just that Just practice half a stroke. It's just whether it rolls or doesn't roll a full circle. Just scroll a little bit. Also, let me take your measurements. How big are the petals I drew? This is also very important. This petal here It's five or six millimeters long. Five or six millimeters wide This is five millimeters. This six millimeters That's about it. This is five millimeters. This is six millimeters wide. Length and shortness, what about them? About four millimeters long Then this petal All are large petals The small petals, then? It will also become shorter Even small petals must practice. Practice with Broad and Narrow Brushes Practice with Long and Short Petals These are all key points of our practice. As we practice this increasingly difficult task Your skills will continue to improve. So now about this color grading we're doing The two color grades have already been created. Proceed to color grading for the third tone level. The third level of color? That's the difficult part. So many, many students It's on the third color level. It's easy to break right there. I couldn't proceed further. It's precisely because one lacks the essential approach. Good When we proceed to the third color grading stage Let's first complete the previous color gradation. This is inside our pen's core The color we mixed It's always first to dial a little bit Then adjust it into the brush. You go ahead and dial a little bit. Do not stand directly on this color. Then it would be much easier to stand. Hard to control Good From pen tip to pen degree Let's adjust a bit more red. Crimson, peony red And then? Make it increasingly intense. The ink gets darker as it approaches the tip. And within 10 millimeters? Let's adjust the rouge. Place the tip of the brush on cinnabar. Then adjust to 10 millimeters. Not a 10-millimeter brush tip for blush Then it's too much. Give it a gradual transition process. You must rub back and forth like this. It definitely has gradually changed. During this kneading process of yours It will seep upward. It gradually became even. It's too natural. And finally? At the tip of the pen Let's have a little bit. This anthocyanin This anthocyanin here After blending with this rouge It is deep purple. Blue will not appear Then let's stand a little at the tip of the pen. Rub it into this pen. Touch the tip of the pen slightly. A point of adaptability Don't stand there too long. This is difficult. But we have to learn We often have a little bit of malachite at the tip of our pens. Anthocyanin It's about enhancing the function of the pen tip. Don't set it to blue. Good Adjust while turning You must definitely stir it evenly. Hello So now? It's the color of anthocyanin at the tip of the brush What color are we getting now? It becomes even heavier. Then let's start with Let's take a look first. What color is this petal? This time around, then Let's draw narrower petals Turn half a turn That's enough. Turn half a turn. Hello Again! Draw a little more water into the brush. At the station It wasn't kneaded evenly just now. Look here This isn't mixed evenly. It doesn't look good. Right? It prints a stamp. Then let's move on I rubbed it again. So, you see... This color grading must have what? Be patient. Be patient. Speeded up This problem will then arise. Sometimes I也会有缺乏耐心揉捏的时候. Such problems may also arise. Yeah, right? Not all teachers are It won't go wrong. You see, this one here is wrong. Yeah, right? Two levels appeared. Too unnatural When you realize that something is overly unnatural Just rub a bit more. That would be enough. It's not enough when kneading. It's not even enough to make the pen spin back and forth. So when we're color grading Multiple turn You're too much of a turner It naturally just does Color adjustment is no longer an issue. Moreover, The ink concentration from the ink reservoir to the nib must be sufficiently strong. Adjust a touch of cobalt blue at the tip of the brush. Lighter tone Then knead it inward. Work it in You must really work it in. Hello And then? Let's continue. This will make the color tone more uniform. Is that right? It can then be seen That's just a gradual process, that's all. Some people say, "Is it okay not to add blue-green pigment?" Maybe. But we're at the blue flower place. Or when the color is heavy When the petals are blooming There must be anthocyanins. If it's an ordinary petal like this You can directly dip it into cinnabar. Not dipping in blue-green pigment Can't dip in cyan blue Try not to dip it as much as possible. But then again To create a sense of depth The color of cyan cannot be too little So sometimes Without anthocyanin, it's still not possible. Good Those are all light colors. What should I do about a darker color? We place the pen's base at Let it deepen. Dense dot dipping And then? Again adjusted Be a bit more varied Good We're adjusting the colors right now. It's gradually, gradually speeding up. Turn faster Also take out a little bit And then? We'll adjust it this way And at the tip of the pen A bit more This rouge Within 10 millimeters Just a small amount is enough; it should be within 10 millimeters. Then, take this bluish-purple one It's also dipped a little bit. Within 5 millimeters You can also rub it a bit higher. You've found it overly unnatural. Rub a bit more upward. But not too long. It's too long. One cannot escape the realm of form. Good Then the petals From below Narrower Not too much This is a concentrated petal. It's getting dark. Petals that have darkened Actually, We usually Not many paintings. But then again We have said next to it For example, I draw the main flower It's light-colored. What should I do if I want to paint a flower head in a dark color? I have to make the color more intense. We often It's just the color being intensified. It feels more difficult. So what? We've also prepared in advance for everyone Let's practice together with everyone. Again As for this class, Practice repeatedly. One practice session is not enough. That definitely won't work. This lesson needs to be repeated back and forth. Practice it more than ten times every day. Going back and forth like this every day Practice it over and over, ten or fifteen times And then? Practice for an entire month You this It should be the color palette of the petals. There's no problem with the rhyming script. Got it down. We shouldn't rush. Every learning process It is a process that progresses step by step. This is just like the things you bring in and out of the door. You must master its fundamental principles. Then it is necessary to continually reflect and understand. Go practice Only then can you gradually become proficient. Don't think that learning to paint live figures is easy. Don't think it's too difficult. As long as you patiently go on learning Anyone can learn it. Again We are often not primarily unable to learn because of It's because we lack patience. This is the left side. What should I do with narrow petals? We lift the pen up halfway Just that The tip touches the paper surface. The pen tip will ultimately touch the paper surface. It becomes narrower. You know, sometimes Let's make it narrower. Roll it up This will be somewhat more difficult. Yeah, right? Dip the brush into some water. Also, I'd like to say something to everyone Such a wide distance between us Just rolling once is enough. If you spin yourself We have in our tutoring class I'll introduce them one by one for everyone. If you spin around yourself It will easily become twisted and matted. Beginners, for example Moreover, as you are writing, Be gentle How can it be gentle? When this pen is running Look here. It's enough if others can twitch. This indicates that This pen in your hand Did not apply external force to it Do not apply external force to it. Because this is a lift. As long as you have this pen Written on paper It is natural. It just absorbs the color. Moreover, Where's your pen? Like a soft cotton ball. In the pen? Filled with water and paint Then you go and squeeze it The paint and water in this batch It came out all at once. You can't draw many halfs. So what? When we write with the brush Be gentle Hurry up When writing, move the brush quickly. That's fast You can't play fast at first. How do you develop it? You just need to keep practicing repeatedly. Fundamental Skills Practice The more you practice naturally, the faster you'll become. Practice makes perfect. So this kind of practice It requires repeated efforts. Practice repeatedly without ever growing weary of it. Practice more every day. At the very least You need to practice for two or three to four hours. Only then can you master it. Moreover, To help everyone grasp the size of the petals As for this lesson of ours, We'll end this petal exercise here. Let me take your measurements. This is the Fifty Long. And then? What about the width? 35 wide That means Cut a piece of paper like mine. Our paper, then? Everyone had better memorize the entire three-foot-long scroll. A full-sized sheet of four chi? One cut each In our subsequent exercises and works All these sections will be collected. Because our work contains Four chi four kai Four feet three open A three-foot square painting (or a three-foot square canvas) In that case, then You wouldn't be short on space And I can't create works the same as mine. Good Now, in this class session, That's enough for now. Family members Goodbye, everyone
