Common plum blossoms are divided into five petals, round, with a flower heart and a stamen. The main colors are red, white and green. Similar to plum blossom are apricot blossom, peach blossom and pear blossom. Plum blossoms are often painted by sketching and boneless methods.
Contour method: refers to the flower contour method based on lines, also known as circle flower method. Hook the petals with light ink, center them with a pen, stroke order is from left to right, from middle to both sides, and the lines are like iron wire, which should be elastic, similar to calligraphy pens. Stamens can be inked with heavy ink or ochre. The flower heart can be dyed light yellow or orange, and the receptacle is hooked with heavy ink.
Boneless method: refers to the technique of drawing without ink lines and dyeing directly with color or ink. The process of boneless stippling is relatively simple, and it is usually completed at one time. Using boneless method to express flowers has more freedom in technique than "sketching". We can grasp the four points of water, color, ink and pen, and the most important thing is to use water. The ancients said that "pen and ink are easy to get, but water is hard to get" and "cherish ink as gold and water as silver", all of which explained the importance of water in painting. The natural combination of water, color and ink can make the painted colors moist and penetrating, and the painted flowers more charming and moving.
