Orchids are tall and straight, green, showing the true color of life all year round, especially in the middle of winter, when the flowers wither and the grass and trees may be in a dormant state, only the orchids on the windowsill are proudly blooming, with flower buds standing Among the layers of orchid leaves, you look like a proud princess, graceful and graceful, and also like a marshal commanding thousands of troops, full of domineering power.
When painting orchid leaves, do not paint the leaves evenly or apply them randomly. Each stroke must contain priorities, ups and downs, and shades. It is necessary to "break the pen and connect the meaning".
The way of flowers is different from orchid and hui. Orchid has one flower on one stem, while cymbidium has many flowers on one stem. Orchid flowers are under the leaves, while cymbidium flowers are often lifted out of the leaves by one stem. Compared with orchid leaves, the ink used for orchids should be slightly lighter to express their lightness and plumpness. When painting, you should first moisten the pen in clean water so that the root of the pen is fully hydrated, and then dip the pen in a little light ink.
