Vibrant Daisies - Chinese Brush Painting
Artist: Jing
Location: Brighton, UK
Description:
I've always been captivated by the vibrant energy of daisies, especially those found in the South Downs near where I live. These cheerful flowers, with their bold presence and upright stance, exude happiness and vitality. The phrase "fresh as a daisy" perfectly captures their essence, symbolising rejuvenation and vigour. Just like daisies, we often feel revitalised and invigorated after rest or self-care. This painting was created for the Brighton Artists Open House exhibition AOH2024.
To create a 3D effect, I painted it from both the front and back. And to bring each petal to life, I employed Chinese calligraphy brush stroke techniques, primarily using half cursive and cursive scripts.
