My Painting-- Chrysanthemums 傲霜延年

Hi steemians:

Today I would like to share wtih you the painting- chrysanthemums. It is one of clsscical theme in Chinese Painting. Because they are not afraid of cold, bloom in autumn, so many poets and painters love to praise it. This painting was inspired by the poem, which was written by Yuanzhen ( Chinese poet thousands of years ago) . And it express his love for chrysanthemums.
The rough content is that clumps of chrysanthemums grow around my house, just like Taoyuanming's house (Taoyuanming was a poet in Dongjin Dynasty, who love chrysanthemums very much )
I was strolling beside the hedge and watching these blooming flowers for a long time until sunset. Not because I love it very much, only because it is the last one blooming in autumn.

秋丛绕舍似陶家,
遍绕篱边日渐斜.
不是花中偏爱菊,
此花开尽更无花.

今天分享的是花中四君子之一，菊花，大家都很熟悉啦。菊花是中国花鸟画中经典题材，由于盛开在秋天，不畏严寒，自古以来很多文人墨客歌颂它，赞美它。这里不多说了。今天我用的是勾勒法，先勾后染的方法。

Material 工具：

Chinese brushes 毛笔 3 只
Chinese painting color : 中国画颜料
Xuan Paper (raw) 生宣纸
Chinese ink 墨汁
Small tray for washing brushes 笔洗

The Process:

先用墨勾勒菊花的花瓣，注意每片花瓣都要向心哦。

再画出枝干和叶子。

又画了一朵低垂的卷瓣的菊花。

给菊花上自己喜欢的颜色。

画上篱笆，修整一下叶子，基本就完成了。
