One day, there are beautiful cranes were talking in the sky.

A: How can you fly so fast? Where are you going?

B：I'm going to see my steemians in Lisbon. Do you know 3 days till SteemFest! I must fly at top speed, or I'm going to be late.

A: oh, I get it. I will go with you over the mountain, but not a step beyond.

B: That's enough. you are the slowest. When you fly there, it's next year.. Waiting for good news at home..

This is the first time that I paint traditional Chinese painting, two red crane.

The red crane is the noblest bird, next to phoenix. In ancient times , it represents longevity, riches and honor in our country. So many people like to express their respects and blessings for elders with crane paintings as a birthday gift.

It is really difficult to me about how to mix ink. either thick or light. but I still like to draw it, because It's such a spiritual animal. And its body is strong and handsome, the red color on the top of head lend bright beauty to it.

So, I hope you enjoy it .

Tools:

brush, ink and rice paper

The Process:

仙鹤也是鸟类中最高贵的一种鸟，仅次于凤凰。在我国古代它代表着长寿、富贵。所以很多晚辈喜欢用仙鹤的画作作为祝寿礼物，来表达他们对长辈的尊敬和祝福之心。

我喜欢画动物，我觉得动物都有一种灵性，而且丹顶鹤形体健美，举止温雅，头顶皮肤那抹红色，更是增添了一种明亮的色彩。

第一次画它，发现好难啊！调墨的浓淡还掌握不好，没有中国画颜料就临时用的水粉颜料涂抹的红色。尽管如此，我仍乐此不疲。
