Inkston Summary
To paint the stems of flowers well, first you need to have a good plan of how to position the stems before you start painting. When thinking about the positions, remember the purpose is to make the stems vivid and alive. In the end, how the stems’ posture will decide the ‘personality’ of your flower. Make sure to note the different stems of different plants. You need to make them crosses naturally with each other.
For beginners, we would recommend you to practice painting bamboos and plum trees first.
