写园论笔

Painting the Gardens from Life and Discussing about the Brush Strokes

本文记述三次写生苏州园林的不同感受,从排斥到接纳,园林有别于从前写生之景,苏州园林独有妙处,这独有的妙处如何对应写生之笔墨,是被动适应还是主动应对,其中甘苦三次写生皆有不同体会。

This text recorded my different feelings about painting the Suzhou gardens from life for three times, from rejecting to accepting.The scenes in the Suzhou gardens are different from those in other places which I have painted from life. Suzhou gardens have their singular wonders. How to select my ink and brush strokes to depict such wonderful aspects, to adopt them in a passive manner or in an active way? I have different experiences in the three times.
