# Opening column #
Do you remember a group of people who walked the streets with simple lines, or sat quietly in a small workshop, indulging in the work in their hands... They are ordinary people without aura, but they are all skilled and are called "craftsmen". They hold fast to a craft, a tradition, which is especially precious in this environment where everything is moving forward.
In the land of the Twelfth Division, there are also many unknown "craftsmen", and the Twelfth Division Rong Media Center specially planned the "Looking for the Craftsmen of the Twelfth Division" column to understand the persistence and dreams of the craftsmen of the Twelfth Division, and walk into the world of "Shouyi" with everyone.
Spread out the rice paper and dip in the ink
After seemingly randomly drawing a few strokes
The ink blooms layer by layer on rice paper
Ink color stacking, penetration
For a moment
The buds, stems and leaves of the rape flower jump on the paper
……
It was his daily life
He was a craftsman of the Twelfth Division
Wang Ge
Wang Ge's paintings originate from life
I still remember when I was a child
There is a piece of rape flower in front of the house
Every year in March and April
The canola blossoms are very beautiful
Wang Ge often catches bees among the flowers
now
Wang Ge settled in Sanping Farm
Rarely return to their hometowns
thereupon
He pinned this thought on the painting
Wang Ge was born in 1968
Shaanxi Baoji people
His uncle was a home improvement designer
Childhood
Wang Ge often plays in his uncle's company
I often learn the way my uncle looks
On the door panels and walls of the home
a sketch
Wang Ge after adulthood
I chose the same job as my uncle
Engaged in arts and crafts design
Due to the needs of the work
He came into contact with Chinese painting
Then the learning begins
At work
Thanks to the guidance of the seniors
Wang Ge's Chinese paintings started quickly
But his Chinese painting skills have been continuously improved
Or from the later research and diligence
Wang Ge passed
Read books on Chinese painting and teach yourself
He just started working
Monthly salary
It's basically used to buy books
Wang Ge said
In the era of material scarcity
He often learned through books
Painting techniques and creative techniques
This habit has remained so far
As of today
He bought it
There are hundreds of books on fine art
Learning to paint Chinese painting requires hard work
I go home to practice after work
Painting all night was the norm for him at the time
Wang Ge said
Even so
He also never felt hard
Instead, have fun
In order to paint a good Chinese painting
Wang Ge was at home
Chicken crown flowers, orchids, etc. were planted
Multiple varieties of plants
Observe often
Learn about their different postures
So that you can do it when you draw
In addition to self-study
He also used to "go out"
He has visited and studied in professional academies of fine arts many times
See an exhibition of excellent paintings
Kung Fu pays off
After years of unremitting efforts and persistence
Now, Wang Ge has stepped on
Paint the road full-time
And with the help of the regimental field
He has held many solo exhibitions
The works are also sold online
Very popular with everyone
Painting has become me
A part of life
More and more inseparable from it
this year
I intend to create 100 works of fine art
Tribute to the Twentieth National Congress of the Party
