Title: Shirley's Art Works 1557 & Sketch 152 - Jan 10, 2023
Artist: Shirley Yiping Zhang
Size: 38cm x 38cm (14.96 inches x 14.96 inches) Chinese Ink on Paper
Completed Time: Jan 10, 2023
Remarks:
This is my 1557 Painting which have completed since 2003 my 152nd Sketch / Painting From the Nature /b>.


This is my first Lamei (Chimonanthus praecox / Wintersweet) sketching / painting from nature in Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province on Jan 10, 2023. Originally, I had no any plan to paint a bird, however, when I nearly finished it and prepared to left for home, I saw a lovely little bird, which had a golden chest and belly and black feather and it was jumping on a tall tree. Suddenly I had an idea, I wanted to add it on my painting. So, I did.

If you were me, would you color it? To be honest, I would also want to do it. However, the Lamei /Chimonanthus praecox / Wintersweet 's flower season is too short for me. So, I would really like to catch it and hope to sketch/ paint from the nature as much as possible, and then, when I have time, I will review them once more and color them then.

What do you think of this picture? Do you like it?

这是2023年1月10日我在中国江苏无锡的第一张腊梅写生。起初,我没有打算画鸟,然而当我快要完成,准备回家时,突然看到一只可爱的金腹黑羽的可爱小鸟正在一棵大树上跳跃,于是将它加进了我的画面中。

如果您是我,您会给它上色吗?说实话,我也很想上色。可是蜡梅的花季实在太短,我是真得很想抓住它,尽可能多地写生。以后当我有时间时,再来回顾它们,为其上色。

您觉得这张写生怎么样?您喜欢它吗?
