Comments from netizens on Wu Guanying's Weibo
Offline want to find Wu Guanying is also "not difficult"
He likes to paint wherever he goes
Tsinghua Garden, Yuanmingyuan, Sanlitun, 798...
Under the gazebo, on the side of the road, in the café...
If you see one
An old gentleman dressed in plain clothes and gray hair
Take out a small notebook and pen bag from a cross-body bag
Slightly conceived
It only takes twenty or thirty minutes
You can make the scene in front of you jump on the paper
Maybe that's him
When waiting for a seat in the hotel, I also did not forget to create Wu Guanying
Always creating
How do you guarantee that you will always be inspired?
Wu Guanying thinks
Professional authors can't rely solely on inspiration
Rather, it is to master the method of creation
Creation requires constant conception
Constantly digging into possible expressions
The purpose of insisting on sketching is to observe
A man, a flower, a tree...
You can observe and contrast from different perspectives
Find out the most beautiful state in your heart
So, in teaching
Wu Guanying also encouraged students to walk out of the classroom
Observe and feel life more

In the hearts of the students
"Teacher Wu is knowledgeable, peaceful and simple, practical and diligent"
"As a university professor
Teacher Wu's teachings always benefit everyone a lot
As an artist
Teacher Wu is an ideal role model for everyone."
"Teacher Wu earnestly teaches and pours out his heart
A good mentor who deserves to be respected for a lifetime."
Wu Guanying said
"I also enjoyed interacting and learning with my classmates
I sincerely hope that you will all achieve good results after graduation
This is the happiest thing to do as a teacher."

Teach seriously and draw with all your heart
It is Wu Guanying's persistence in teaching for 39 years
Today, life has gone through 66 years
He still insists on creating every day
January 20 is the last cold of the Year of the Ox
It has been 5 consecutive years
Hand-painted twenty-four solar terms series of works for him
Just finished the creation of the year of the ugly
Because it's the Year of the Ox
Wu Guanying cleverly adds in each illustration
Tenacious, optimistic, and auspicious
"Happy Cow Music"
Come to this set of childlike works
Look for its traces
At the end of the year, may the little blessing cow be brought to everyone
Auspicious, happy and healthy
I like to use pictures in a way that is pictorial
To record those fleeting feelings, ideas
Or something that seems very ordinary but touches the bottom of the heart
And so it goes
In sketchbooks, hand-drawn covers, on watercolor paper
Left a colorful imprint
The sheets are arranged like a diary of images
It presents a freeze-frame moment
I prefer to draw those
Sunny, warm, beautiful scene
There are also familiar people and things around you
With brushstrokes with emotion and temperature
To convey your feelings
A small scene, an autumn forest, a cluster of small flowers
Unconsciously
Art has long been integrated into one's own life
And because of art to make my life
Full of rich and different colors
