Detailed painting steps of Five-colored lotus in Gongbi style!
Thousand petal lotus
1、Use light ink to outline the flower head, with a slightly heavy brush on the tip of the petals, and pay attention to the changes in the movement of the lines. Thick ink outlines the main leaves, medium ink outlines the opposite leaves, branches, and floating duckweed, and heavy ink strokes water plants. The flower head is an uncommon compound petal lotus with a complex shape, so the lines used should be slightly delicate, and the twisting and changing of the local shape should have a graceful posture, with smooth and natural curves.
The line used for the erosion site of the main leaf insect should not be too thick, so as not to appear too heavy there. The branches and stems of aquatic plants should be slightly heavier at the nodes, reflecting the main "bone points".
2、After applying white powder to the flower head, apply a light purple (eosin+a little bit of phthalocyanine blue) to the regurgitation. Zhengye should use light ink to dye along both sides of the main tendon, consciously highlighting the main tendon. The reverse leaves are dyed with clear ink, using the same dyeing method as the main leaves.
The front of the water grass is dyed with medium ink, and the back is flat painted with orange yellow (rattan yellow+vermilion). The floating duckweed, background, lotus stem, and lotus pod below the lotus leaf are all dyed with light ink. The background above is painted with a layer of indigo for the first time, and when it encounters the withered edge of the lotus leaf on the right side, it is dyed open. Apply light indigo onto the floating duckweed above and use light ink to spread it from the middle to the surrounding areas.
The stem of the water grass is painted in orange yellow (rattan yellow+vermilion) and then spread with light ink from the bottom of each stem to the bottom of each stem. Lotus pods should be dyed with light ink and then dyed with medium ink.
3、The petals of the flower head are stained with purple (eosin+a little phthalocyanine blue), with heavy tips and shallow roots. The main petal is dyed multiple times with gray green (three green+a little ink), and the entire area around the lotus pod is covered with orange yellow (rattan yellow+vermilion). The side of the lotus seed pod is overall dyed in light green, and the middle structure is carefully separated and dyed with light ink on the front. Then, the overall color is dyed in light reddish brown, with the near heavy and far light.
The root of the lotus leaf is dyed with light green, leaving the leaf veins. The main leaves of the lotus leaf should be covered with a whole shade of indigo, and the leaf veins should be covered together. White flower buds are dyed with light green (grass green+rattan yellow+a little vermilion). The front of the water grass is dyed with heavy ink, and the back is dyed with orange red (vermilion fat+rattan yellow) as a whole without leaving any water lines. Continue to dye the floating duckweed with light ink until the leaf veins change.
Apply a thick layer of blue (phthalocyanine blue+tricolor) to the upper background multiple times, and it can be evenly cleaned after about 5 times. The background part of the withered lotus leaf edge is dyed with head green towards the blue background direction. Wet the lower withered lotus pod with clean water, and rush in the thin green head while it is moist and bright.
4、The petals of the flower head should be dyed with heavy purple, and the area should not be too large. Positive petal white powder is used to enhance the brightness of the surface, while lotus seeds are dipped in green with a small pen to enhance the color from all sides towards the center. After dyeing the lotus leaves with light ink, use a slightly yellowish reddish yellow color to invert the whole from the edge to the inside. After dyeing the dark side with Zheng Ye Mo Qing, use Zhe Mo color to invert the entire color.
White flower buds with white powder for brightening. The front of the water grass is dyed with strong cinnabar, and the back is dyed separately with light ochre, leaving water lines.
Cover the roots and stems of the lower withered lotus pods with light ochre. The lower background should be dyed multiple times with indigo and ink until it is fully dyed. The supporting leaves of lotus stems and flower buds are dyed with light dark green (grass green+a little ink), and the tips of the supporting leaves are stained with light eosin. On both sides of the water grass stem, light reddish brown ink is added to slightly reflect the cylindrical feeling.
5、The tips of the petals are partially recumbent with dark purple, and the tips of the petals are partially recumbent with light eosin, followed by outlining the fine veins of the petals with light purple. The small flower bud is outlined with light grass green to outline the flower veins, and then the tip of the local Tiller is partially covered with light eosin. The top of the lotus pod is dotted with thick rouge dots, and the filaments are hooked with light ink and then re curled in orange yellow. For brighter filaments, a little white powder can be added and re curled.
Then use concentrated white powder to dot the stamens, and after drying, use a very light purple color to carefully mark the center of each white dot to enhance the three-dimensional effect. Rub the structural relationship of the withered lotus pod with dark green marks, use thick ink to hook the filaments, and dot the withered stamens. The thorns on the heavy ink dot pole should be arranged in a staggered manner.
The main leaves are covered with a light grass green overall to dye the dark surface, and the withered edges are stained with brown (ochre+ink) stains, indicating the need for a pen. The undamaged areas can be dyed as the main color, without the need for excessive exposure to the pen. Slightly stain the leaves. The distant floating duckweed is painted in dark blue, which weakens its brightness.
