? In the second year of North Yuanfeng (179), Su Dongpo, a great writer, was ostracized by his ministers and relegated to Huangzhou (now Huanggang County, Hubei Province). The poverty of life and the depression of spirit need to be alleviated, so Su Dongpo reclaimed a wasteland by himself and planted pine, cypress, bamboo and plum in the courtyard. Soon, he built a small house and named it "Tang Xue". There were snowflakes on four murals in the house. The whole Tang Xue was dressed up in a simple and elegant way, which was very suitable for Su Dongpo's mood at that time. On one occasion, Xu Junyou, the magistrate of Huangzhou, visited him in Tang Xue. Seeing that his residence was deserted and desolate, he jokingly asked, Sir, when it was freezing in winter, you drew so many snowflakes on the wall. Aren't you cold? Isn't it lonely that no one came? Su Dongpo pointed to the swaying flowers and trees outside the window, and he came. That's how allusions come out. With these three good friends, it will not be cold and cheerless.
? Su Shi was from the Song Dynasty. Looking ahead, you will find that plum blossoms were not very particular in the Tang Dynasty. Poets in the Tang Dynasty wrote plum blossoms. In his poems, plum blossom is just an object. There is not so much emphasis, so many anthropomorphic expressions, and these spirits are not injected into plum blossoms. However, plum blossoms were different immediately in the Song Dynasty. Lu You wrote 1 17 plum blossom poems in his life for the following reasons. Why are plum blossoms worshipped and loved by literati in past dynasties? We need to know the source of culture, so the plum blossoms in our works will not be so pale.
Second, master the painting theory
1, different postures of plum blossom
[picture]
A, plum blossom on the front: round pen on the side, one * * * five petals, each petal is the same size, and it can be arranged evenly around the flower center. The side of the stamen is drawn with a pen and nib, which is shaped like the dial of a clock. The lines of the filaments are radians, drawing a slender feeling; Anthers are a little.
B, lateral plum blossom 1: the front petal in the middle is large and flat, the left and right sides are small flat petals, and the root of the petal faces the center of the flower. The back four petals are smaller. Write a stamen on the top of the front petal. Stamens are shaped like fan bones.
C, side plum blossom 2: the first two petals are smaller and flatter, and the petals in the middle of the back are the largest and roundest. Pay attention to the indication that the petal roots of the last three petals face the center of the flower. Draw a stamen above the first two petals, that is, the center of the flower.
D, bud: the shape is plum blossom petals. Decorated with thick ink, the receptacle is dotted around the bud. At the bottom of the middle of the bud, when the pen is finished, come out and point down, write a "D" shape to support the whole bud, and the pen receiving place of the "D" shape is connected with the plum branch.
E. Half-opened plum blossom: one * * * three petals, with the largest and roundest petals in the middle, small oval petals on the left and right sides, and the roots of the petals facing the center of the flower. Draw a stamen at the included angle of the petals. The stamen only needs to draw two or three lines. Receptacle painting is the same as bud painting.
2, color matching: if the petal color is brilliant red, the stamens are written in thick ink; If the petal color is light red, the stamen color can be any one of medium ink, deep red and gamboge.
3. Attitude change: The postures of Meihua in the works should be as diverse as possible, including the changes in posture and orientation, as well as the changes in size and before and after.
Third, technical practice.
Taking Wang Xuetao's Plum Blossom Map as an example, this paper investigates the application of painting theory and draws a complete work.

1, branch
A, the old branch is vigorous and powerful, with many turning movements, and the pen is used on the side, and there is a dead pen; Branchlets are loose and thin, with less turning changes, and the center is more stretched with a pen. Pay attention to the difference between pen and shape.
B, modeling with the trend: using the trend of branches to draw the picture power from one side to the other, and tend to balance. The first section of the pen of the main branch turns to the right, and then the tip of the pen changes to the left, which becomes a left trend and pulls the power to the left as a whole; Use long branchlets to pull back the strength of old branches from the left; Finally, in order to make the picture more stable, draw an upward twig behind the main branch, which not only increases the front and back levels of the picture, but also makes the picture more stable.

2. flowers
A, you can simply divide the flowers in the work into four clusters (four groups) and draw them in groups, and you can arrange the posture of flowers at will according to your own wishes. Then add some buds on the bare branches appropriately, and pay attention to the size of the buds, not exactly the same.
B. Garcinia Garcinia, add cyan to light green, and add 1 2 small leaves to each group of flowers to enrich the language of the picture, but don't jump too much in the color of the leaves or draw too much, so as not to affect the overall aesthetic feeling of the picture.

3. Moss spots
Where the branches are bare, the center draws some ideas with strokes to enrich the language of the picture. Moss spots have no fixed shape, but we should pay attention to the change of size. The moss spots on the old branches are larger and more, and the moss spots on the branchlets are smaller and less.
