Gongbi White Magnolia Colouring Tutorial Beginner Series Ep.2

Welcome to Episode 2 of the Gongbi White Magnolia Beginner Series. In this tutorial, I demonstrate how to apply the first layer of colour to this traditional Gongbi white magnolia painting. You will learn how to: • Mix and adjust the colour for the branches • Apply an even flat wash while controlling the amount of water in the brush • Use Titanium White to apply a flat wash to the magnolia petals • Keep the ink outlines clean and visible while colouring • Reshape the brush tip to create clean, controlled edges • Use layered shading on the bracts • Mix Sap Green and apply it to the buds, pistils and flower bases • Correct small areas where the colour has gone outside the outlines This video is played at double speed.
