Chinese Painting: Goldfish 金玉满堂--写意金鱼

Goldfish is a very beautiful fish. And due to its good meaning- gold and jade fill the hall -- abundant wealth or many children in the family , so it regularly appears in Chinese painting as a common theme.
Today I'd like to share with you the Chinese painting-goldfish. It is not unfamiliar for us, many families love to breed fish for enjoying it. If you watch it carefully, it is not difficult to draw. Now let's look at it.

金鱼是非常美的一种鱼类，因为有着美好的寓意，“金玉满堂”“年年有余”等，它也是国画里也经常出现的一种题材。
今天就给大家分享一下金鱼的画法。之前说过，绘画其实不是画，更多的时候是思想。大部分时间都在考虑如何去画，怎么画，这是最有效率的也是最重要的。金鱼对于我们并不陌生，一般很多家庭都喜欢养它。观察好了，就很容易画出来。

Material 工具：

Chinese brushes 毛笔 3只
Chinese painting color : white, yellow, bright red, rouge，blue，cinnabar
国画颜料 ： 白粉，藤黄，花青，曙红，胭脂, 朱砂
Xuan Paper (raw) 生宣纸
Chinese ink 墨汁

Small tray for washing brushes 笔洗

Instructions:

1. 先画身体还是尾部看自己的习惯。调朱镖，笔尖蘸一点曙红。我先画它的躯干。然后再画出它的两只大眼睛。

然后调浅一点朱镖，画出它的鳃，大大的肚子。再调胭脂和曙红画出眼眶，背鳍和嘴。最后画出漂亮的尾巴。这个是短尾巴的金鱼。它像小扇子一样呼扇呼扇的摆动。最后蘸一点曙红，勾筋。

用一只小笔，调浓墨，画出它的眼睛。

又画一组长尾巴的金鱼，像穿着小裙子一样，长尾巴的更好看啦。

调华青和藤黄，两组分别画出水草。基本就完成了。

题款就是“金玉满堂”吧。
