‘Gok fa’ is the Cantonese term for the chrysanthemum flower which forms the inspiration of this piece. Fine black lines were utilized for the petal structure with free-flowing background watercolor accentuations. The dark circular bases add shape to the chrysanthemum and were first painted before being transferred onto the final artwork. Typically it is advisable to avoid only highlighting single muscle groups hence the asymmetrical extension of the paint brush movement onto the upper shoulder. Part of the TC classics and completed in a single session, it was again a true pleasure working with you on this composition
