How does Chinese painting pigment bring out purplish red?

The color called purple in gouache pigment is rose red. Traditional Chinese painting has no direct color, so it needs a little adjustment.

The first method: there is purple in the pigment of Chinese painting. It becomes transparent after adding water, which is the color of azaleas. If you want a bright purplish red, you should add a little more red, or peony red, and add more water, which can obviously set off a bright purplish red in the white plate.

Freehand brushwork needs transition, and meticulous brushwork needs layer upon layer.

The second method: if you have to adjust it, add a little violet to the potato red, add more water, and then use a pen to understate it, or add a little cyanine to the potato red, and then add more water to dilute it, so that it appears faint purple and has good transparency. Don't paint it too thick. If it's thick, it's not that transparent purple. It will turn black. In fact, this method is not as bright as the first one, and the effect is black.

The third method: peony red with rouge, or peony red with a little cyanine, diluted with water, the color is very beautiful, that is, the color you want, beautiful and transparent purple! This is very professional, you need to buy peony red separately.

We are professional artists, and these are professional colors. You adjust it.
