What is Clay Painting?

Clay painting is a unique form of art where clay is used as the medium instead of traditional paints. Here's a more detailed explanation:

Clay painting involves using clay that has been thinned down with water to create a "clay slip" or "clay paint." This clay paint is then applied to a surface, such as paper or cardboard, using brushes made from natural materials like twigs and branches.

Meaning of the Peony Flower
The peony is considered the "king of flowers" in China and represents wealth, honor, peace, royalty, masculinity, and feminine beauty. It is a beloved motif in Chinese art, poetry, and drama.
