This is my 540th
Chinese Xieyi Painting and
my 1008th painting since 2003, the 378th assignment of Chinese National Academy of Arts.
Base on the study in Beijing for 5 years and the study from my private tutor for 8 years, now, I come back to the beginning to practice bamboo as my daily practice. I do feel it is quite necessary and gives me much inspiration to re-feel the working methods of Chinese painting with ink, brush and lines.
So, now, every morning, I painted bamboo and 3 or 4 hours and every day I use at least 14 or 15 pieces of paper. Then to paint one or two art works.
I means I practice on the leaves, branches and flowers many times with Chinese ink and brushes many times, then to paint a picture.
This is just my 17th daily painting practice since May 31, 2015.
How do you think of it? Do you enjoy it?
