How to draw the first prize of plum blossom?

The painting of the first prize of plum blossom is as follows:

Painting plum blossoms should start from branches. Branching is painting branches, cutting branches properly and using pen and ink well, and the whole plum blossom is completed. Regarding branches, the ancients said that "there is no plum blossom without a woman", and the word "woman" in the text vividly explained the cross combination of branches. To learn to draw branches, you must first practice from the first branch.

You should know the position of the pen on the paper at the first stroke. Generally speaking, the pen should start from the position of 1/3 on the edge of the paper. Compared with entering the pen in the corner or the center of the paper edge, it is more comfortable to enter the pen here. This is also basically close to the position of the "golden section line" in western paintings. This position is suitable for painting flowers and birds.

The first branch can be called the main branch, the second branch is called the auxiliary branch, and the third branch is the intersection of the main branch and the auxiliary branch. The three principles of main leaf, secondary leaf, broken leaf and leaf skimming of branches are the same. Three strokes intersect and break, which is an analysis of "no girl can't be a plum blossom"

Branchlets are usually flowers, so you can't draw them all at once. You should leave a place to draw flowers appropriately. In the whole painting, the arrangement of flower density also needs to be considered comprehensively in the process of branching. Plum blossom painting has a strong directivity in the picture. When the pen enters the edge of the paper, there is potential as soon as it enters, and the direction pointed by the top of the twig is potential.

Sketch branches with grass, and you can fill them with color or ink. Large branches can be painted with lighter ink or colored ink, and when they are semi-dry, they can be finished with heavy ink grass (also known as ink-breaking method). Branchlets can be painted directly with heavy ink. Drawing new branches and straight lines is a branch without flowers, which is also the characteristic of plum blossoms.
