My Painting : Orchid 幽谷兰香

Dear Steemians:

Today I would like to share with you orchid. It usually lives in the glen or valley quietly, fresh and elegant, and is always in harmony with the rest of the world. I like it very much.

Its leaves aren't soft, look like belt and sword, very strong . From ancient times to the present, Chinese people often say that watching its leaves is more beautiful than its flowers which are not bright-coloured and look fresh with a faint aroma.

My mother grows many flowers on the balcony, including orchids, chrysanthemums, lilies and cactuses. And that orchids lives more than ten years, two years ago, it began to bloom.

Mentioning orchids, we all know it is mainly ink and line, so painting orchids can exercise our ability of how to use brush and ink. How can I miss it？

Now let's start it.

今天给大家分享的是四君子之一的兰花。

兰花，清新高雅，脱俗，默默的生长在幽谷之间。与世无争，不为名利。

它的叶子非常劲力，如带如剑，不像有些草软软的。中国自古以来对兰花就有看叶胜看花之说。它的花不是特别浓艳，但是看起来非常清新，带有淡淡的香味。

我老家阳台上种有很多花，其中就有兰花。而那盆兰花至少有10多年了，前两年开始开花了，朵朵幽香。

一提画兰草，我们都知道它是以墨为主，以线条为主的花卉。所以画兰草还可以锻炼我们的笔墨能力。这么好我怎么能错过？

下面就跟随我一起画兰草吧。
