Yu Wanying's water-based pen paintings are inspired by the experience of studying in Paris, France. At that time, she created a long scroll of scenery on the Seine River, casual and casual, showing a special artistic mood. After returning to Tsinghua, she walked on campus, saw some scenes, and "felt that the beauty of Tsinghua Garden can also be presented in the artistic creation method of water-based pens", and had the first few works.

The valuable thing about Yu Wanying is that she knows what she wants to paint. From the intimate snuggling bicycles, to the intricate patterns on the sundials, from the circular street lamps in front of the library to the white jade arch bridge surrounded by lotus leaves, this is the Tsinghua in the eyes of Tsinghua people, evoking the memories of everyone who has a close intersection with this garden.

Each painting is basically depicted directly from a local point with a water-based pen. Due to the particularity of the painting conditions, most of Yu Wanying's works need to be created according to the photo data, and each work takes 3-4 days from conception to completion, and the work is about 5 hours or more per day. Yu Wanying's case is carefully depicted with water-based brushes, and the picture consists of an empty frame, constantly filling in details from the part to the whole, and when it is completed, it is an amazing painting.

When you look closely at the original painting of the bicycle, if you look closely, you will find that the conifers of the pine trees are also very clear; when asked if there are any photos recording the painting process, Yu Wanying patiently turned over the GIF diagram of the bicycle formation: "My friend saw the drawing I drew and did not believe that I did it with a water-based pen, so I recorded it." ”
Yu Wanying's paintings also show some things that we can feel but can't see. She uses black and white colors to summarize thousands of changing colors, depicting the simplicity and vicissitudes of Tsinghua, even if it is some Western architecture, it is still very appropriate; she uses lines to sculpt ever-changing shapes, painting not only the scenery of Tsinghua, but also the confidence and glory of Tsinghua. "You can see a few of them and you can feel that it is a very big school, a big school."

Yu Wanying's black and white is an interpretation of Tsinghua's simplicity. And Yu Wanying herself also gave an explanation for the black and white tone of the work: on the one hand, the black water-based pen and the sketching language itself are black and white; on the other hand, black and white can better show Tsinghua's sense of history and vicissitudes, and is more in line with the aesthetic habits of Orientals.

From Chinese painting to oil painting, from color to black and white, Yu Wanying is gradually forming her own painting language, and constantly exploring in the process of learning different painting languages. Line drawing and sketching are classic expressions in the language of Eastern and Western painting, the former is freehand, the latter is realistic, but Yu Wanying did not "submit" to them, but "integrated" them, from the perspective of a Tsinghua student, creating a Tsinghua campus belonging to the humanities and arts of this era.
