I love this !

I guess traditionally pigs and peonies don’t really go together in chinese painting? My LaoZhi certainly thought it was weird! But in my mind since I think in English, it rhymed and sounded good together! ;0) So I painted this because peonies are my favourite flowers to paint and pigs are the theme. I wanted to depict a family with the children trusting and following their parent, looking into the future of 2019, wherever the road takes them but towards happiness and prosperity.  Kind regards, Connie Lam.

I drew a piggy, sitting in the mud next to some young trees.

I only used black ink and water to get some difference in shades. For the mud it really came out nice I think. I washed the brush but not thoroughly and then dipped the tip a bit back into the sumi-ink. Then used the side of my brush with some quick movements. For the little leaves I twisted my smallest brush (same one using for drawing the tree) after cleaning it a bit and did some quick dips on the paper.  Used the same brush full with ink and twisted to paint the grass. I used 3 different brushes.

the 2 little pigs did not come out well, made too narrow, the painting is broader, I try again:
