"One field" / Chinese Painting of a Lily

arteadictorals (56)in #art • 6 years ago

Good afternoon dear friends of Steemit. Today I share with you a painting of Lilies that I just finished, which is called "One field", and refers to a field of flowered lilies, where only one is visible for being in a rocky area.

To make this painting I used only the following materials:

Chinese brushes.
Chinese ink colors.
Special sheet of paper for ink.

Painting process:

The first thing I did was to paint the elongated leaves of the lily with green ink and a fine brush.

Then with a thicker brush, I painted the base of the rocky earth, for later give it depth and much more color.

Then, with black Chinese ink and with some brown ink, I painted the areas where there is more darkness, thus achieving greater depth. In turn I delineated the surface where the lily is and I added more small plants with the same ink and the same brush that I used for the lily.

After all this, I painted the flowers with pink ink and the stem that holds them with black ink and a fine brush.

And finally I added a short poem to the painting, which means "One field", as well I signed the painting already finished with my name in Chinese "Ricardo".

This was all for today, I hope you liked it. If so, let me know in the comments. Also if you want you can follow me on my other social networks to see more of my art. You can do it in:
