. A sense of organization
When you encounter a group of still lifes that happen to have flowers, you must always maintain the overall sense of the picture during the painting process. Pay attention to the spherical volume and shape of the flower, and don't stick to a few petals and small details. The flowers and leaves should be completed together with the background during the adjustment process, otherwise they will appear isolated and stiff after painting.
. How does a single flower reflect
The painting method of a single flower is simpler than that of potted flowers and vase flowers: the pen should be looser, and the color should be integrated into the whole painting as much as possible, and should not be isolated. Under the premise of color coordination, the flowers should be kept as bright as possible and should not be painted "gray" or "dirty".
. The color of the flowers
must maintain the purity of the color of the flowers, because the colors of flowers are generally brighter, so the colors should be pure. In particular, the flowers in the front should try to maintain the color state of the first pass of coloring, and use more water, so that the color has considerable saturation.
. Flower shaping
When shaping flowers, you cannot do everything, you cannot shape each flower very carefully, you must paint selectively. Generally, the first few flowers close to the visual center are chosen as the main ones, and the painting should be deeper and brighter.
. When painting flowers
, the background, flowers and leaves and the flowers at the back should be painted together; the color purity of the flowers and leaves at the back should be appropriately weakened. In order to make the flowers three-dimensional, the background needs to be flat; finally, The contrast between cold and warm, brightness and purity should be divided into two. The flowers in the dark part should be more subtle and abstract.
6. The great relationship between flowers
Whether it is one kind or a combination of several different flowers, after forming a bunch and inserting it into the container, its overall shape should be a spherical shape with up and down, left and right, and front and back relationships: this spherical shape appears rich, Full, layered, and solid. It is necessary to determine the location and distribution of the main flowers. Generally speaking, the main flowers should be larger and located closer to the center. The depiction should be careful and meticulous. The other flowers and leaves are only used as foils, and the main themes of the picture should be clearly explained.
7. Ideas before painting flowers
Careful observation and analysis are required before the ideas are put into writing. To achieve this, you should first analyze the contrast and balance of the composition, the priority of objects, the arrangement of color blocks, and the overall color tone of the picture.
8. Composition draft
Composition draft: Draw the outline, proportion, perspective changes, etc. of the object in a general way. When starting the draft, you only need to outline the big outline, and you don’t have to be constrained by the details. Based on the first impression and the large color relationship, the large color blocks and key color blocks are quickly expressed. Beginners can start from the dark areas, then move to the middle colors and finally to the bright areas. This method makes it easier to control the relationship between light and dark and the level of light and dark in the picture. At the same time, attention should be paid to the hue of the dark parts, the contrast between cold and warm, and the connection with the environment.
9. To express the texture of flowers
To express the texture of flowers, you must carefully compare the tonal characteristics between flowers, branches and leaves, distinguish between cold tones, warm tones or mid-tones, grasp the highlights and reflections, and strive to get the brightest and brightest colors. The darkest, coldest and warmest tones as well as the changes and transitions are perfectly represented.
Summary
When painting flowers, you should focus on the overall look, posture and interest. On the premise of grasping the general characteristics, make appropriate details. Don't draw too rigidly, but grasp the large light and dark and hierarchical relationships of the flowers. Strive to make the picture vivid and full of color.
