I mean I painted 3 times on it for about 5 hours. The first twice, I went to the streets to paint face the flowers, then I ordered it with pen in the classroom. After I completed it basically with a pencil, it was lucky enough that in one of our classes, I got a good comment and directions face to face from Professor Liu Wanming -- the Associate Dean of Chinese Painting School of Chinese National Academy of Arts. Kept his directions in my mind, I kept working out of the door, each day for 4 to 5 hours, even if the atmospheric haze hit Beijing... How do you think of this sketch? Do you enjoy it?
