It's colorful flowers. Violet's rose wide, big and small. It is one of the favorite flowers in Chinese painting. During the five parts course, we are going to know about the painting materials and basic techniques to study how to combine different colors and ink. We will draw Morning Glory plants with flowers of adding color. Welcome to the space of creative freedom. Throw the flowers you'd like.
2. Morning glory violet flowers - training: Hello. Let's talk drawing and Morning Glory IV creeper. Before we need to check the materials for this course. First, you need a carpet laying under the paper. That special rice paper for middle fluidity to observe paints a little, not much. And pains for Chinese art, any brand you'd like. Also fine if you have got Japanese paints and ink Playing Chinese or Japanese brushes, the basic set of three. The third one is for small details and to medium size. Similar. Use different for black ink and light colors. This basic set is enough, prepare it and go on with painting the morning glory. We are going to draw Morning Glory IV is gross widely and easy to draw. First in grayscale, then in color. First of all, I need to take middle gray paint into the brush. Not too black. My Grayscale paint will have light flowers and deep dark greenery of the leaves. Now look how we start drawing a flower. I just place and move a little aside of the brush, like a triangle. Outline. Such a special movement of the brush. And now I draw it a free parts like that. Let's combine it. Now the form of the flower. To have it more alike as the specific morning glory flower. I will add some graphic. I need for this more dark ink and more dry brush. So dry the tip of the brush by a napkin. You may take the smallest brush to draw like a pencil by very sharp tip. Brush vertically. It is important. Now the bads, it is easy and exciting to draw. We use the same light gray ink. They could be bigger or smaller. Then take more dark ink and add the sepals. Now let's try with color. I'm taking red and bright blue, mixing it, you may get bright violet, more rows or more blue, any color you'd like. You can get from those pains. This style of drawing is similar than in grayscale. Now the graphics, I take more deep and dark paint for my color mix and add some thin details. Take some black to add the sepals. And the final exercise of the lesson, one flower behind another, like it is often a nature. The front flower is more dark and contrast. The backwards is lighter a bit. At last, at graphics and sepals. Graphic is dark violet and sepals by Inc tried to train drawing flowers in gray and color. Next lesson is about Morning Glory leaves.
3. Morning glory easy leaves - training: I believe, consists of three parts like that. In C painting, we need to simplify it to draw. I take into the base of the brush and Duke three similar strokes. By the side of the brush. I do the first, then second start a bit higher. And the third, then I want to add some streaks to the leaf. Very dark ink and dry brush. Then mines streets goes from 1 and each has its own smallest streaks. Mind to draw it while the leaf is still wet. You won't see it now appropriately. When the leaf dries, you'll see it clearly. That is how we draw morning glory lives.
4. Morning glory white (outline drawing) flowers - training: The second way of drawing is more complicated outline drawing. I need not to dark ink. You may mix it with some blue to have it color a little. I remove is usual extra ink to have my brush semi dry, to draw like a sharp pencil. To check how your brush is drawing. And if it is dry enough, begin from the middle. Such a tender flower, we have got the center of wheat and the sepals are more Doc. I will draw two flowers, one behind another. The front one has darker outline and back wards is more pale and partly visible. This style of drawing, it's the best for the white flowers. Any kind of them. Do not forget to hold your brush in vertical position, always dry. And the second one and more leg details. And the bads. It's words like a spiral. You may draw it like this, or more complicated style. Before we go to the composition, please train to draw outline flowers.
5. Morning glory complicated leaves combinations - training: The previous way of drawing Morning Glory leaves was easy enough. Now, I will show more complicated and interesting. As you'd like. You may choose any for your composition. And maybe the OH, version of the leaves, the same way, but using reversal move opposite. I lay my brush fully solved by the blank ink and do the first line. This second would the small drop at the end. And this side wings of the leaf. You may do this side parts with doubles strokes or single. Anyway, you will get more interesting and graceful leaf. One more. But the central part I draw by single stroke and double for both side parts. A big curved on it's very end. You may invent any way of drawing your own ivy leaves. Now two leaves, one behind the other, very natural. The front one is Docker, as always, more light behind and they all have to cross each other like it does in nature. And the third leaf, we can see only two parts of it. And I do vary plays tricks to each three lines only coming from one center. And the main road, like a very thin and flexible branch that holds all the plant parts. Very dry brush and fast movements I use live in calligraphy, light twisting of the line you draw. Take your brush vertically and add more and develop your rod. It would such an intersection of free lines in the single-point motion of creative drawing. Dry these before we make the first complete composition.
6. Violet flowers ready composition: This picture with more easily leaves and flowers, but with interesting composition. Have a look. I begin with leaves using or just a plain or with some indigo paint. The males important that the leaves have to be dark enough. I will draw the group different size and position, one behind another. Lighter or darker but tonal decision. It will dry finally, and show you different tones. That is the feature of white paper. But all leaves have the same direction down from the left up corner. No need to make a composition of your leaves like clear square or triangle. No geometry here, just an abstract full of dynamics form or this dark group. Find with leaves. Now we start with the flowers. The flowers looking up to the sun. I will take violet, but you can mix any color you'd like. Morning Glory may be blue, violet, red, rose deep blue. Many ways of your imagination. That first flower draw the wave we have started before. The front darker flower and the light one behind it. The third one, not so dark. And extra bonds to it to make the group of flowers more massive. Now will the road, I'm going to draw it at the same direction with the leaves. Dry the brush properly and start growing not from the center of the page, but lower a beat. This branch may be more or less dark, not monotone. Next, it's changes the direction and proceeds down. It crosses the composition in a very interesting way. Now the sepals and some graphic, not while it is before in the exercise, but using white color as it is also possible in trainees painting. As small center for the flowers, drone by concentrated yellow and black contours. Dry graphics for stamps, battle starts Thebans. I draw this still wet leaves, dry streaks. It comes visible later when dry my paperwork. So Some more bots to decorate the compensation, but do not forget to leave free space as it is traditional in Chinese painting. Very simple and the same time beautiful picture we have drawn waiting for your morning glory to injury.
7. White flowers and blossoms ready composition: Decomposition we're going to start is more complicated. With white flowers of morning Laurie, I IT agar and mix it with ink to add light blue shade to my greenery. First, I take concentrated leg and draw the leaves in the way we started before. First day or leaves on dog and others. More light. Do not worry. The papers show everything more light and clear when it got dry it the leaves on the paint are different. Don't afraid of crossing them with each other. Now, I do my flowers with light gray and blue. It brush vertical. I do outline flowers. Wine behind another. Like we did on our exercises. Some bots to it. And the branch was very odd. Cure is beginning. Create the line you want. Do not hesitate to set free your imagination. The first movie, and some extra branches. Now add some bots and more flowers as a common Morning Glory plant has. Then settles with bright black ink. Now, I mix very light blue and gray to add the outline to every flower. This useful trick, very common in Chinese painting, emphasize white color or buy flowers. On the outer outline, nothing else. And for the bads else. So one more, I take white streaks, non-black like we did before, but concentrated white. Also very common and possible style in Chinese art. Make your own white morning glories. Create your unique composition.
