Classic Peonies

Today I would like to show you a super long scroll painting I completed in 1994, some 23 years ago!  This particular scroll is an absolute one-off - it is 6m long by 42cm in width!  

By this time, I had already been painting peonies for more than 30 year, so I used this painting to showcase the techniques and style I have developed over the years.  For the peonies, I mixed powder paint with water - this enabled me to depict the delicate and translucent nature of the petals, which were then finely outlined.  This is based on classic Lingnan style, but with my own twist.

I have included 10 types of peonies here, some depicted growing among cliff boulders, and some growing on river beds next to meandering waterfalls.  Enjoy!
