He records Damei Shanxi with a pen drawing

The recent days always say that it has changed. On the afternoon, the rain was raining outside the window, and the glass was rang, but this did not affect Wang Menghe's focus. If it wasn't for the disturbance of my phone, perhaps a delicate work would be in one go.

Yes, Wang Menghe on the phone is painting, or a unique pen painting. Since 2020, he has spent more than two years, and has entered many of Shanxi's monuments through his pens to his paintings.

At the age of 82, Wang Menghe, who lives in Taiyuan, is spiritual. He said that he could not feel any fatigue, whether he was talking or pens, because of the pen painting, making his life always full of fun. Speaking of pen painting, Wang Menghe smiled clearly and told the story of him with the pen painting ...

Wang Menghe learned the design of packaging, engaged in packaging design, exhibition design, etc. After retiring in 2000, he still made a difference in his professional field. However, a sudden epidemic disrupted his rhythm of life and had to stop. "During that time, I was doing nothing at home all day. I was usually busy. When I was free, I was uncomfortable. I thought about it." In front of me, "The thin lines are beautiful and the composition is good." Since that day, Wang Menghe, who likes art, has also started drawing steel pen painting, and has not stopped since then.

Due to his work experience and some sketching skills, Wang Menghe got started quickly, and this incident made him feel happier. "The design should be based on the needs of the other party. Give full play to your own artistic imagination. " Because he is old, it is unlikely to go out to sketch, so Wang Menghe's painting mainly looks at the photos on the Internet to find out painting, and various types have tried. Later, he gradually had his own style, "mainly drawing some famous monuments and traditional houses in Shanxi."

Talking about why this is the creative direction, Wang Menghe said, "This is the characteristics of Shanxi." As the saying goes, "The cultural relics on the ground are seen in Shanxi". In Shanxi, the number of ancient buildings before the existing Yuan Dynasty, Shanxi accounted for more than 70 % of the country, there are countless boutiques, enjoying the reputation of the "Ancient Chinese Architecture Museum". He wanted to present and inherit the exaggerated ancient Shanxi ancient culture through his brushes. The reason why he has such an idea is derived from his usual habit -reading. Not only reading a variety of books, but also watching various news events, finding points that stimulate your interest, and then find more information, the interest in ancient buildings comes from this.

After several years of polishing, Wang Menghe's painting skills are becoming more and more superb. In his early years, his works were slightly rough. Slowly, he improved his techniques, and the picture appeared to be smoother and natural. With the profile of the monuments, he covered his own seal, and each painting looked like a exquisite collection.

Shuangta Temple, Xuankong Temple, Yingxian Mu Tower, Mengshan Grand Buddha ... For more than two years, Wang Menghe's case has been filled with exquisite works, from aimless to his self -containing system. Love is getting deeper and deeper. "The effect of the pen drawing picture is fine and compact, and it can not only be described and highly described by the drawing things." This requires concentration and imagination. Under normal circumstances, Wang Menghe needs to complete a work for half a month to twenty days, because the pen tip of the pen is very thin, and the magnificent landscape must be outlined by one, which is very time. But Wang Menghe felt that it was precisely because of this that the details could be handled more sophisticated in detail. If the painting is flawed, Wang Menghe will scrape off with a little knife little by little, or bleak rubber. "This is not easy to deal with, so draw more cautiously."

"Drawing steel strokes is a kind of exercise. Practicing your brain and practicing your mind is very helpful to the elderly to cultivate your body, make people quiet, and improve their cultural accomplishment." Wang Menghe said, "The painting has been for a long time, and I feel that I have observed things. It has become more thorough. "

Wang Menghe encourages the majority of elderly friends to learn pen painting, because a major feature of the pen drawing is that the tools are simple. As long as there are paper and pens, you can draw anytime, anywhere. "What you want to learn, it's not too late at any time. If it is a novice, you must first master the basic line graphics, and then start with some simple paintings. Of course, the most important point is to do more. In fact, the level, the level Whether it is superb or not is second. The elderly cultivate their hobbies, mainly to make themselves healthy living habits, a positive mentality, and be happy. "Wang Menghe encouraged the elderly like this, and at the same time, he also strengthened his strokes. Determine, "Now, pen painting has become an indispensable part of my life. In the future, I will continue to draw."
