Painting: Peaches 寿桃
Painting not only delights you mood, but also is very practical. Such as the Chinese painting, peaches offered as a birthday present.
Normally, for old people, we'll prepare a large cake and then add in large peaches on the cake on his birthday. It means good health and a long life. But if you give them a painting of Longevity Peaches, I think they must be very happy. They will store it forever. So today I would like to share with you guys the Chinese painting--peaches. Hope you enjoy it.
画画不仅能愉悦人的心情，有时候还很实用，比如国画里的寿桃。
我们一般在长辈过生日的时候，会挑选一个大蛋糕，然后有的时候还会加上一个大寿桃，送给他（她）， 寓意健康长寿。如果你能送给他们一幅寿桃的画，我想他们一定会更开心。而且一般东西吃完就没了哈，不一定记得了。但是像书，画啊，确是可以永久保存的。今天就给大家分享一下寿桃的画法。
Material 工具：
Chinese brushes 毛笔 3只
Chinese painting color : white, yellow, bright red, ochre, rouge，blue
国画颜料 ： 白粉，藤黄，花青，赭石，曙红，胭脂
Xuan Paper (raw) 生宣纸
Chinese ink 墨汁
Wool felt 羊毛毡
Small tray for washing brushes 笔洗
The Process:
1.先用一只干净的大一点的毛笔加一点水调白粉，然后再调曙红，最后笔尖蘸胭脂。画出桃子第一笔。
2.继续接着画中间的部分，然后再画右边的，底下部分用笔根扫上。这样一个桃子就有不同颜色的变化。最后蘸一点胭脂和曙红再给上部加深一下，就完成了。再蘸一点胭脂给桃子点上几个成熟的斑点。
用同样的方法画另一个桃子，桃尖偏向哪个方向都可以，但是位置要和第一个不一样哦！
3.用藤黄和花青调草绿，然后再用笔尖蘸华青或者赭石，使叶子呈现不同的色彩。
4.用一只小笔，调墨，画出枝干。待叶子半干状态再勾筋。
- 补充一下细节，完成。
