Daisy’s language of flower is symbolises strength, joy, hope, innocence, and love hidden deep in the heart amidst adversity. I really like its Chinese name “瑪格麗特”.
In nature, this flower is commonly seen in white, but the color of the flowers in this teaching piece has been changed to shades of pink. The artwork has a light and delicate color palette without complex color variations, and the main goal of the exercise is to create and increase a sense of layering using the same color scheme.
The main tool used in this artwork is the modelling spoon , with the main flower parts being handled entirely with the modelling spoon, except for the decorative knife lines in the background. This tests one’s ability to create simple sculptures using simple tools.
The coloring is mainly done with Japanese salt-based dyes, with white parts being processed with acrylic paint.
The time-consuming part of this artwork is the large number of flowers, but the method is not too complicated. Time and patience are the main challenges. When the artwork is completed and framed, one can admire it in detail while sipping a fragrant cup of tea, making all the effort worthwhile.
Daisy 花語是：逆境中的堅強、愉快、希望、天真、深藏在心底的愛。非常喜歡它的中文名字，『瑪格麗特』。
在大自然中常見的是白色，由於這是授課的作品，所以將花朵的顏色改為粉紅色系。
這是一個帶著清清淡淡的色彩，沒有繁複的色彩變化，練習的主要目標是同色系在畫面中組成和增加層次感。
壓擦筆的運用是這次主要的工具，除了背景的裝飾刀線，主花部份全部使用壓擦筆來處理，考驗使用簡單工具完成素雕的能力。
上色部份，是以日本塩基染料為主，配合壓克力彩處理白色部份。
這幅作品，製作費時的部份是花朵數量比較多，做法並不太複雜，時間和耐心是考驗的主要環節。當作品完成，框裱後，細細欣賞，嘆一口香氣撲鼻的花茶，所花費的心力都值得了。
