Bi-Tan

1992
44 x 95 cm

(Chinese text) One cloudy drizzly day We went sketching to Bi-Tan. Although the day was overcast and gloomy, My heart was light and clear, So the day turned into a bright clear day after all.

After Wang You-Jun, my landscape teacher was Lo Fang. With her, we investigated different composition possibilities. In Chinese landscape painting the funnest part is always the composition. Unlike western painting, one rarely finds one major focal point. Instead the eye walks leisurely through the landscape, either horizontally or vertically.
