The magnolia and orchid are blooming beside the fist stone. The painting methods of flowers and stones are extremely exquisite. Magnolia flowers are light dyed with powder for many times to distinguish the color, and then the thick white and tender petals are outlined with meticulous brush. The branches and trunks are filled with color and applied with chapping, which is very textured. The painting method of the mountain stone is to first draw the outline with light ink, and then use thick and light ink to halo and dye for many times, gradually deepening, until the rich front and back layers and the texture of the stone body appear.
