Peonies are large-flowered flowers. They come in various varieties and have rich colors, being extremely beautiful and charming. They are deeply loved by the Chinese people and are known as "the national color and fragrance", often being hailed as the "national flower". Peonies are a unique flower species in China and are also the most common subject in Chinese flower-and-bird paintings. When painting peonies, it is necessary to distinguish them from peonies. Although the shapes of the flower heads of peonies and peonies are not very distinct, their qualities are different: peonies are woody plants while peonies are perennial herbaceous plants. There are also differences in the shape of their leaves. The painting should present their characteristics.

A. The painting method of the flower head:
Use a medium-sized or larger brush (a brush made of sheep hair and wolf hair, a mixed brush) to fully soak it with a large red color. Mix the color on the palette so that the color penetrates towards the brush tip. Then, dip the tip of the brush in the rouge color and slightly mix it before painting it on the canvas. The traditional method of painting peonies is to connect one color with another closely, and the entire flower head is composed of a series of colors gradually changing from dark to light. After the flower head is completed, while the color is still wet, use the rouge color mixed with ink to adjust the transition at the junction of the flower center and petals, making the transition between the petals clear and vivid. When the color is about 70-80% dry, use sienna to dot the color at the stamen, and then use yellow ochre mixed with white powder to dot the stamen. When dotting the stamen, follow the organizational structure of three strokes in a group and do not randomly dot them without an organization.
B. The painting method of peonies' flowers:
The drawing of flowers and flower heads is similar, but the difference lies in that flowers have calyxes and stipules. When drawing, one must consider the entire flower as a whole, making the calyxes and stipules an organic part of the flower head.
C. The drawing method of the leaves of peonies:
Use a medium-sized or larger brush dipped in a light green color mixed with indigo and terreplein, and mix it in the color mixing dish. Then, dip the tip of the brush in ink and slightly blend it to make the ink color and the original color on the brush blend. Use a side stroke to draw the leaves on the canvas neatly and smoothly. The leaves should be drawn in groups, with three strokes as a group, painted in a regular pattern. This way, the leaves will not be messy. The charm of freehand painting lies not only in the lively brushstrokes, the lively images, but also in the moist colors and the flowing brushstrokes. Therefore, when drawing the leaves, one must master the techniques of water usage and color application. When starting, the color and ink should be saturated, and the stroke should be swift. Use one color stroke to draw one leaf. This way, from the starting point to the ending point, natural changes of dryness, humidity, and intensity will be formed. After the color and ink dots of the leaves are completed, wait for it to dry to about seven or eight times its original size, and then use a heavier ink (color) to outline the veins. Outlining the veins is an important step. The turning points, backs and structures of the leaves are determined by it. Therefore, one should adjust from the overall structure of the picture, not just considering the local area.
D. The drawing method of the branches of peonies:
In general, the branches in the picture account for a smaller proportion compared to the flower heads and leaves. However, when depicting, one must not underestimate its importance and must not randomly draw them. One must understand its structural rules and growth characteristics. Only then can the different textures of the main trunk and young leaves be expressed in the drawing.
