Teacher Du, who has been engaged in painting creation for more than 40 years, has been working hard to record the rapidly disappearing city imprint with lines, drawing with pens to draw ancient houses, gardens, alleys, bridges, riversides, and mountain stones in Jiangnan Water Town, and using his heart to treasure the spiritual charm of the past that is disappearing or has disappeared.
With amazing perseverance and rich creative experience, he has completed a large number of exploratory new pen drawing works, which also gives him a unique insight into the understanding of lines and the use of pen drawings. His pen strokes are delicate, fine and vivid, the composition is ingenious, good at portraying delicate and light changes in light and shadow, sophisticated in controlling the virtual rhythm of the picture, the subtle and appropriate treatment of the relationship between black and white and gray, the whole picture is like a layer of fog, looming, vague and beautiful, but the artistic conception is profound. "The hazy beauty of watercolor painting can be expressed, and the same can be expressed by pen painting", which makes us wonder how the black and white lines of pen painting can be filled with such irresistible power.

The creative cycle of realistic pen drawings is as short as ten days and a half months, and as long as two or three months, and there can be no problems in the middle. Unlike other paintings, mistakes can be covered by modification, and pen drawings that are wrong is wrong, and there is no way to modify, which requires extreme solidity and rigor. In this way, Teacher Du depicts every grass and tree, a bridge and a house, a mountain and a stone in his life, pouring all his feelings into the picture, whenever he encounters a scene he likes, he enters a high state of spiritual freedom, ruthlessly expresses his true feelings in his heart, and creates a pen painting that shocks the soul.
