Plum blossom meticulous painting in Chinese painting

General meticulous plum blossom needs the following steps to complete.

First, the draft: use a pencil to make a draft, no paper is needed.

2. Overdraft: put the draft on the copying desk, cover it with a layer of cooked rice paper, and hook it with Gou Xianbi (fancy flowers, etc.). This kind of work is called line drawing.

3. Shading: Use ink to express the brightness of the picture on the draft. The method is: use two larger pens (usually big white clouds), one dipped in ink and the other dipped in water, first dipped in ink, and then shaded with water before the ink dried, thus forming a natural transition.

Fourth, dyeing: the method is similar to the shading step, but it is more troublesome to use Chinese painting pigments. In order to make the color more uniform and thick, it is usually carried out many times, and there is a saying that "three alum and nine dyes".

Verb (abbreviation of verb): In the process of blooming, the original line may be covered by color, so it needs to be crossed again.

The craft and techniques of meticulous painting are very complex and diverse, which is only the basic craft. I hope it will help the landlord.
