This is my 13rd pen sketch since March 25, 2014.
I found some Yuanwei -- Wall Iris (Iris tectorum) out gate of the school, they were very small and thin. Anyway, as a student who is major in the flower and bird paintings, I thought I should paint them.
So, I went to paint them as soon as I finished my Chinese Roses.
Since they were very young, I tried to carry them together and fixed this painting.
When I was painting, it was windy, very often, the dust flew on my face and sometimes came into mouth. I kept working on it since I knew I would go to attend the lesson of the dean on May 8, and go to be a volunteer teacher for about 20 elder ladies and I would not certainly have time to come back to paint them with a pencil. So, I kept painting, until I finished it at the dinner time.
Then, next morning, I went to the classroom early and ordered it before Professor Man Weiqi – the Executive Associate Dean of Chinese Painting School at Chinese National Academy of Arts walked into the classroom.
How do you think of this painting? Do you enjoy it?
