The color grading began to be penciled, the dots were dyed, and in the blink of an eye, a pink peony flower with the right thickness jumped on the paper. The person who painted with a pen is Ren Qiaoying of The Hot Spring Township, born in 1964 at the age of 60, and today she can swing freely on rice paper, all of which are self-taught and self-realized.
Walking into Ren Qiaoying's home, the bookcase is filled with all kinds of books for learning to paint and painting books that she exhibited. Her bedroom is filled with all kinds of rice paper, brushes, etc., which is not only her bedroom but also her studio.
Talking about his painting life, Ren Qiaoying suddenly opened the conversation box.
Ren Qiaoying
In fact, since I was a child, I like to draw, I also like face molding, paper cutting, I like these types of things, what I see on the road, I also want to look, see, draw a picture. However, due to the conditions at that time, it did not go through professional training and learning. When I grew up, I joined the work, and later I had children, and I didn't have the time to study.
Since childhood like flowers, birds, landscapes and other freehand paintings, although there is no teacher guidance, but Ren Qiaoying's enthusiasm and pursuit of painting has never stopped, her eyes are full of scenery, as long as she sees like her always can't help but paint, sometimes also buy some painting books to watch and learn, practice can make a little skill slowly have a little painting foundation.
When I retired and had time, I picked up my hobbies again, and I began to think for myself, read and study on my own. Now there are also training institutions, and I also follow the training, and I feel that I have made great progress in my studies in recent years.
Ren Qiaoying likes the tranquility of creation, but also enjoys the sense of achievement brought to her by creation, painting has long become an inseparable part of her life. She said that although her painting level is not even a "craftsman", because of her love for painting, she will visit every time there is a painting exhibition, and if there is an opportunity to participate in the exhibition, she will actively submit works, so every year there will be works exhibited. At the same time, she also joined the Artists Association and the Provincial Farmers' Artists Association, and while constantly exchanging and improving her skills, she also made many calligraphy and painting friends.
In fact, the theoretical knowledge of painting is quite profound, both the practice of lines and the practice of calligraphy.
I think hobbies are the biggest motivation, although I am older, but people often say, live to learn old, especially Chinese painting is endless learning, I still have to study hard, master more skills and techniques, and pass on the traditional Chinese culture. (Reporter: Li Haifeng)
