My Painting: Mandarin Ducks 鸳鸯戏水
Rain Water (2nd solar term) passed, and spring returned to the river bank. the temperature has gone up again，and it is the moment that many birds come back from the south, including mandarin Ducks. And they have been a symbol of love . I admire them flying together in the world. Today I would like to share with you the painting--mandarin ducks, which was inspired by a poem from Song Dynasty. It described scenes of Chinese women picking lotus seeds and told us that don't go on farther, because there are mandarin ducks playing in the pond, don't disturb them.
春节已过，二十四节气的雨水也过了几天了，气温开始逐渐回升，又到了鸿雁归来之时。这些鸟中有一种最漂亮的鸟经常成双成对的出现，就是大家熟悉的鸳鸯啦。鸳鸯自古以来就是美好爱情的象征，我羡慕它们，更羡慕它们有一身好本领，不仅能飞，还能游。随意出入丛林，湖泊，池塘等地，多么逍遥自在啊。
今天就给大家分享一幅鸳鸯荷花图，灵感来自宋代 的一首诗。
采莲时节懒匀妆，日到波心拨棹忙。
莫向荷花深处去，荷花深处有鸳鸯。
Material 工具：
Chinese brushes 毛笔 3 只
Chinese painting color :
Xuan Paper (raw) 生宣纸
Chinese ink 墨汁
Wool felt 羊毛毡
Small tray for washing brushes 笔洗
The Process:
1、先用一只小笔，调浓墨，干一点，先从雄性的头部画起。接着画出眼睛，和它得嘴。
2、然后画出它身上得二级飞羽，三级飞羽。动物和人不一样，雄性是最漂亮的。身上的羽毛华丽鲜艳，最引人注目的是翅膀上还有直立羽，像小帆船一样立在后背。
3、接着调浓墨画出尾羽，然后身上的羽毛用淡墨点出。最后给它的头顶上一层蓝色。
4、画另一只雌性鸯。先用浓墨画出头部和眼睛，然后调淡墨画出身上轮廓和羽毛，最后用浓墨点斑点。
5、给鸯上色。肚子上扫一层淡淡的赭石，嘴巴上蓝色。
6、给鸳鸯补景。 画上荷花和荷叶。
7、给荷花上色。
8、基本就完成了。

這對鴛鴦很可愛呀！雄鴛鴦多彩鮮豔，雌鴛鴦墨色淡雅，一方面畫出大自然中雄性動物外型吸引人的自然法則，一方面位於後景的雌鴛鴦用淡墨，也做出了前後的景深。
就是看它们好看，想起来画一画。你的点评还是一如既往的专业啊。
beautiful
請恕我唐突，我突然想起《唐伯虎點秋香》的「雄鷹展翅氣吞天下圖」🙈
想象力丰富。。咋说唐突呢？
因為我想到的是祝枝山的小鳥🙈
戏水鸳鸯，哈哈哈😄
🙂：）是的。
眼睛美美的可愛鴛鴦~ :)
台湾也有很多吧。
是啊! 有些院里的池塘有! :)
好美，油画写实，中国画更多表现意蕴。期待更多作品
谢谢@zhouzichao511 支持, 是的，油画写实，刻画得更细腻。不过怡情养性，我还是喜欢国画。
Amazing! Really beautiful!
I would put it straight on my wall, @helene! Birds remind me of freedom and spring :) Beautiful.
