How to draw the twenty-fourth festival

Here’s how to draw the twenty-four solar terms: The twenty-four solar terms, also known as the twenty-four festivals or the annual seasons, are one of the important time marks of the traditional Chinese lunar calendar.

From the Spring Equinox to the Great Cold, there are 24 solar terms.

Each solar term is about 15 days apart and can be used for agricultural activities and festival celebrations.

When drawing the twenty-four solar terms chart, you need to pay attention to the following aspects.

First of all, we need to have a clear understanding of the connotation of each solar term.

For example, the beginning of spring represents the beginning of spring. When drawing patterns, you can add some spring-related elements, such as tender green flowers and plants, birds, etc.

The winter solstice represents the depth of winter and can create a cold and heavy atmosphere. For example, you can highlight the characteristics of long nights and short days, or you can draw some scenes full of stars.

In addition, it is more poetic to present the meaning of each solar term in pictures.

Secondly, you need to pay attention to the sense of balance when designing the composition.

Even though the content is different in different solar terms, the style and craftsmanship of the overall picture should be unified to produce a good visual effect on the entire painting.

In specific practice, we can use portraits, characters, animals, plants, scenery and other shapes to organically combine them to depict solar terms scenes.

If you draw the 24 solar terms in the same picture, please pay attention to the overall balance and harmony of the picture.

Again, use appropriate materials and tools.

When copying or creating pictures of the twenty-four solar terms, you can choose materials such as ink and wash, color ink, silk, rice paper, etc., or you can use electronic painting methods such as PS software.

For example, using rice paper and fine brushes to create the feeling of using different shades of ink to express different solar terms.

The key is to master the techniques required to use different painting materials and tools to achieve the best painting results.

Finally, patience and meticulousness are required.

Drawing the twenty-four solar terms chart requires a lot of patience and patience.

Because every solar term and every painting needs to be carefully considered and cannot be careless.

Imagining these solar terms in front of the screen may be in place and meet the requirements, but drawing these solar terms on paper requires immense patience and concentration.

And a focused and meticulous attitude is often an important manifestation of the creator's image quality.

In short, drawing the twenty-four solar terms chart requires systematic learning, practice and adjustment, as well as flexible thinking, innovation and continuous improvement.

Only by making full preparations from these angles can we create excellent and exquisite works of the twenty-four solar terms, which not only inherit the traditional Chinese culture, but also bring an aesthetic feast.
