Li Keyan, "Looking at the Picture"
Painters should be full of emotions when painting, and if a work cannot move itself, how can it move others? Paintings without emotion are not called art, and painters cannot have feelings and send them to create, which is contrary to the laws of art, and art is afraid of scratching the itch.
Li Ke dye "Cypress Tree"
Li Keyan, "Drama Painting"
Some people think that the paintings of great painters are casually wiped with a few brushstrokes, and they are careless, thinking that good paintings can be produced from the random forest and create miracles. The ancients said "if inadvertent", I think that the word "if" should be emphasized by a few circles next to it, or more specifically, add the four words "the extreme of the meaning" below to become the "extreme of the meaning of the meaning, if not inadvertent" This is the same meaning as Su Dongpo's "first knowledge is really placed in the subtle".

Art requires spirit, artistic image can not be ordinary, cinematographers on the Jialing River from far and near, from near and far on the boat, can take hundreds of different shots, but the most beautiful of them are only a few, a painting to have the most essence - the so-called "painting eye", the painting eye must be particularly tight, can not be treated equally with everything else.

The artist not only expresses what he sees, but also what he knows and thinks. The "Xianshan Pavilion Diagram" described by ancient Chinese artists is to put the most beautiful building in the most beautiful environment, which is the artist's imagination according to reality, is the combination of realism and romanticism, Chinese painters paint Huangshan, by no means standing in a fixed place, taking a fixed angle to paint what their eyes only see, but after comprehensive observation and understanding, it is expressed, as if standing above Huangshan. Our modern Chinese painting, due to the superiority of all aspects of the conditions, has developed greatly, we want to surpass the previous generation is not a luxury, in some literature should even be said to have surpassed the ancients, but in pen and ink and calligraphy, it is still far from catching up with our predecessors. Due to the poor skill of pen and ink, the picture is often weak and weak, and the characteristics of Chinese painting are reduced, especially calligraphy, it can be said that most of the young authors have not worked hard in this regard. Inscribing a few words on the painting is like a beautiful piece of music, and suddenly a few incongruous dry tones appear, destroying the picture. In fact, when I say "beautiful music", the picture itself is often greatly inferior because of the lack of pen and ink, which reduces the artistic power of "compelling" and "touching", so we must improve the existing level of Chinese painting, and at the same time we must make great efforts in pen and ink to learn from the tradition and to our predecessors.
Li Keyan,"Rafting in the Forest Area"
It is true that "knowing" should be ahead of "can", but knowing is not equal to being able. Relatively speaking, it is easier to know, but it is difficult to know, and it is necessary to learn and practice. People who know how to swim are still far from being able to swim. Learning the word is very accurate, it is not enough to just learn it, and it must be practiced frequently.
Li Keyan's "Zhong Jin Ten Send Sister Picture"
Many fine traditions such as Chinese opera, poetry, and calligraphy are not exposed to enough by young people.
Li Kejian,"Suzhou Humble Administrator's Garden"
A painter's ability to relax the basics is the greatest destruction of oneself, the indulgence of oneself, and the great cruelty to art.
Lee Ke-dye "Riding a Donkey"
Qi Baishi liked Qingteng's paintings very much, and Qingteng's paintings were "writing cursive", but Qi Baishi was still writing zhengkai all his life, and he still had time to "write cursive". Chekhov wrote short stories all his life, and his short stories were prepared for the collection of material for long stories. But he also has time to write a long story, life is very short, and many things are too late to do.
Li Keyan's "Picking Chrysanthemums"
Chinese painters paint chrysanthemums, by no means only to express chrysanthemums, but to pin their own feelings on the painter, landscape painting is not a photo, nor is it a landscape illustration, landscape painting is more beautiful than nature, people have always said "rivers and mountains are picturesque" but not "painting like mountains and rivers".
