Orchids don't have the three dots (the parts on the inside of the flowers) The sex parts are all fused into one structure, but every time I see sumi orchid painting, the flowers are painted with the three dots like that. This makes me crazy. I know that sumi painting is not all representational, but this is just wrong. Like painting dog feet on people.

Come on! The leaves are not painted that way.

@sf108com what do you mean? they're meant to look like they're bending/twisted so it looks good to me. how are they supposed to be painted?

[sf108com]

@omgxitsfb It's the quality of the brush work.
