A Courtyard of Roses

A Courtyard of Roses

Gifted a candle that was said to make wishes come true, Alice Clemente burned it to find herself awake in a different world. She had wished for a life of adventure away from the city and its routine. With her wish granted, she was no longer in the 21st century and was instead lost in the middle of the Kingdom of Gladiolum, a place reminiscent of the 1800s. With luck, she soon gained connections to the rich and powerful of this new world— the nobility. However, how much of it was good and how much of it would eventually be detrimental? After all, mingling with royals not only meant extravagance and daily parties. It also meant warfare and death. Caught in the middle of the two princes and other nobles, Alice would soon have to face the battle between those two royal brothers― a fight for the throne. She had wished for adventure, after all, and she received just as such. Kept in the center of all this, would Alice be able to emerge from the rabbit hole unscathed? Or will the overwhelming troubles of love and war be too much for her to bear? *** “And what if you, too, are unable to help?” Alice threw the question back. “What if helping would risk everything?” Spade didn’t miss a beat. “You are everything.” “Don’t say things that you don’t mean,” Alice chided. “You’ll leave a trail of broken hearts.” “And would you believe me if I say that I have no intention of breaking yours?” Spade countered. “However, mine is yours to play with. Shatter it, fix it, do anything you desire. As long as it feels the warmth of your hand, I am content.” *** Image used in cover not mine.

The first layer of petals should be arranged in an arc. - Then, he dipped the tip of the pen into the Garcinia Cambogia. After the pen was fully dipped, he drew the second layer of petals with the tip of the pen facing inward. He paid attention to the perspective relationship of the petals. - Pointing the petals at the back, when gathering the petals, one had to have a clear idea of the direction and side of the flower head, as well as the degree of opening. - Adding heavy colors to the outer front petals made the flower head form a tight inside and loose outside, inward and outward shape. - Finally, on the basis of the original color ink, the tip of the pen was dipped in cinnabar, and the color was added to the center of the flower. Pay attention to the processing of the outer edge of the petals, the change of the folds, and the change of the size of the flower head. The whole should not be too round or too flat, so as to show the graceful and graceful peony. 2. ** Red Peony ** - He chose a small sheep-hair brush, dipped it in white powder and a small amount of eos to blend, then dipped the tip of the brush in eos, and started drawing from the petals on the back of the outer side. He drew three strokes in a group, leaving out the center of the flower. - Around the flower heart, draw the inner front petals, and then draw the outermost layer of open petals. When drawing, the brush must be easy, fast, smooth and natural, and cannot be repeated. - He continued to draw the petals to enrich the layers of the flower head. - While the petals were still wet, they were dipped in a thick ethereal red to enrich the heart of the flower and enhance its three-dimensional effect. 3. ** Orange Peony ** - First, he used vermilion and clear water to adjust the base color, then dipped the tip of the pen in red, and drew the first petal from left to right. - Draw from front to back layer by layer. When you draw, you must be bold and pay attention to the overlapping relationship between the petals. - Dip in vermilion and ebony to adjust to a thicker color, draw the front petals on the back side, and then show the spirit. - Draw them layer by layer, but pay attention to the unity of the pieces. Don't make the picture too messy. - He added the petals on the front side, paying attention to maintaining a natural flow along the center of the flower head. When using colors, he adjusted different orange-red colors, and used the addition and reduction of colors to make the color of the picture soft and delicate. - He dipped it in a darker color to dye the heart of the flower and the dark parts of the petals to increase the three-dimensional and layered feeling of the picture. ** II. Painting of Peony Part and Whole Tree ** There were specialized books such as "Ten Ways to Draw Peonies" that introduced the painting techniques of peony parts, the painting techniques of the whole peony, the main points of creation, and so on. He could refer to them for learning. ** 3. Painting method of peony in a specific form (Take the round and chubby pale yellow peony flower head as an example)** 1.

It was originally a little bigger, but now he cut it into small petals, into a small flower petal. 6. Because it was a small flower bud, there were very few petals.
