Title: My Sketch from Nature-114: Shirley's 75th Assignment in Chinese National Academy of Arts -May 2, 2012
Artist: Shirley Zhang
Size: 41.00cm x 31 (20.05inches x 16.14inches) Pen on Sketchbook
Completed Time: May 3, 2012
Remarks:
This is my 21st sketch with pen from nature since April 7, 2012.

Right now, I have been used of painting from the nature every day. If I did not do that one day, I did not think that I had done my proper business.

Therefore, I completed it in the hotel of Shido -- Suburb of Beijing -- I was invited there to paint while to be offered a position as the executive vice president of a collage in a big project. Two gentlemen picked up me by my school, then we went to pick up anther one in another place, so, we started at 9:30am, but reached Shidu in the afternoon.

After a long discussion, I did not think that I should take part in them and decided to go back Beijing next day. So, I went back my room of the hotel and completed this painting according to a photo that I took on the road.


How do you think of this sketch? Do you enjoy it?
