Color matching skills of freehand peony in Chinese painting

Peony flowers are colorful, jade smiling pearls are fragrant, romantic and elegant, and are known as "the king of flowers". The following combs the color matching skills of Chinese painting freehand peony for your reference.

The most important thing in painting peony is to show the graceful and restrained temperament of peony flowers, but it is often prone to "three diseases": one is improper color, bright red and green, sharp and harsh, bloated and tired, that is, "sweet and vulgar". Second, the powder is thick, dry and smeared, stagnant and greasy, and the color is turbid. This is called "powder gas". Third, the setting plate is carved with flowers, which is stiff and uniform, with stale shape and lack of vitality, commonly known as "process gas".

Flower-and-bird painting has three basic composition forms; Up, down and sideways. No matter what kind of composition, we must pursue a big dynamic, that is, "creating risks." It is the balance between life and danger and the return of justice. Turbulence returns to stability. We should also pay attention to "suitable shade", "dynamic and static", "density", "knowing black and keeping white", "combining hiding with dew", "lining leaves", "skillfully setting off" and "learning from nature"

Branches, stems, branches, colors or ink should be strong and avoid weakness. It is appropriate to show the thickness of the circle with a pen in the center. It should be properly interspersed, scattered and dense. Painting woody veteran cadres should reflect the spirit of being old and strong, and use both Chinese and Chinese sides. The water content in the pen is small, showing the characteristics of dryness. Can appear flying white, thus enriching the contrast with mosaic moisturizing. Lao Gan also drew a loose structure, which changed slightly with the pen. There should be gathering and dispersion, front and back, interspersed and dense.

Dry painting: 1, painting directly with ochre ink. There is frustration with the pen, center and winger. 2, adopting a coarse crushing method; Dry with ochre ink and stone green, dry with Jiao Mo roller+flank+center wet and dry vividly. There is a little moss on my back.

We should fully understand the importance of "Silver Corner in Phnom Penh" in composition. The middle of the four corners cannot be used as a place for flowers to branch. If there is a border on the left side of the picture, the corresponding part on the right side should be blank, and the upper and lower sides should be treated in the same way. Regardless of the size of the picture, we must distinguish between the subject and the object, and the subject and the object should be clear in order to live in harmony.

Peony leaves should be different in density, virtual and real, and should not be treated equally like real leaves. The decisive pen, right in the middle of the wings, is both heavy and handsome. When the paper is dropped, the shade changes, but the change obeys the whole, does not appear broken, but also has a sense of hierarchy, which can be light and thick. Hooking the veins of the leaves is the most critical, and the reverse and back of the leaves are hooked out. The pen needs to be dry, and the ink is thicker than the leaves. Jiao Mo hook for thick ink, thick ink hook for gray leaves and gray ink hook for light leaves. You can also burn ink to darken the leaves first, and then dilute the leaves, so that the color of the pen becomes lighter. It is best to use scanning method to express the wet and dry shade of pulse condition. (called pen and ink). The green brush of the young leaves is eosin or rouge color, which turns into a beautiful reddish color with a pen, making the new leaves full of vitality. Hook pulse can be rouge color.

Don't feel dry when painting peony flowers, but give full play to the infiltration function of rice paper. The shade of flowers mainly depends on water, not on white. Once the white is thick, the pen will be astringent, greasy and not smooth, resulting in a hardened and dry effect. After the moisture is increased, write quickly with a pen. When it is wet, the petals can be obviously colored and moist. If we want to pursue a variety of petal images, we must use a variety of brushwork, such as center, side, back, dragging pen and so on. And the single-point method will inevitably appear the same petals. Painting red peony flowers, once accompanied by green leaves, is too strong in contrast and makes people feel tacky. In order to make the picture stable and refined, we should draw leaves with ink to suppress the fiery situation and achieve visual color balance. Only in this way can we be "gorgeous but not vulgar".

Color matching method of peony flowers

Safflower: use vermilion, scarlet and eosin. Take cinnabar as the main color, change red into basic color, and paint the pen tip with morning light. You can also paint peony red on the belly of the pen and rouge on the tip of the pen, which is thick and vigorous, otherwise it will look thin when it is dry.

Pink: pen root white+pen belly peony red+pen tip rouge.

Yellow flower: yellow with white, and the nib is the harmonious color of ochre and vermilion. The flower core can be painted with white or rouge. You can also paint the roots with white powder, the abdomen with rattan yellow and the tip with green. When cleaning, use Zhu Qing or rouge as the nib.

Orange: the root of the pen is ochre, the belly of the pen is red and the tip of the pen is rouge.

Blue flower: a blue flower with white and a small amount of eosin as the basic color, and the pen tip is painted with blue flowers. You can also use the white powder at the root of the pen, the cyan peptide at the belly of the pen and the rouge at the tip of the pen to draw.

Purple flower: white is mixed with rouge and cyanine, and the pen tip is dipped in rouge. After completion, the depth of the flower heart will be increased again with thick rouge, and the petals will be richer. You can also add rouge to the white powder, which is purple and a little peptide blue.

White flowers: grass green with a little ochre and a little ink as the basic color. It is pure white when painting, and the pen tip is the basic color. After completion, you can use green to highlight the dark parts and flower hearts, and pure white to emphasize the bright petals.

Ink flower: writing fast and using a pen decisively will become a fresh and carefree feeling. Don't revise it repeatedly. After the ink is dried, the flower heart is decorated with opaque mineral colors such as azurite, azurite and cinnabar. Be bold when drawing petals, don't leave blank.

Black peony: peony red+rouge+ink to make black purple.

Er Qiao: When the pink is dry (it won't destroy the flower shape across colors), draw a deep purple.

Green: white with grass green and a little cinnabar as the basic color, and the grass green of the pen tip is drawn from the reverse part. It is more appropriate for azurite to paint the ovary.

Crimson: red mixed with a little eosin as the basic color, and the pen tip is rouge. Use the pen neatly, avoid using the pen repeatedly, so as not to draw "paste". The difficult thing is to master the water. There is no heavy feeling when there is more color in water, and it is easy to appear dry and dull when there is less water. Only the right moisture can be thick and moist.
