I have been painting in the "Haobao" painting group recently for more than a month. At the end of the month, the group leader asked us to share my painting experience. I was very hesitant at the time because I My painting is purely a hobby. I have not received any training. I just paint for fun based on my feelings. I have no experience to share. I can only share my changes after painting!
Because I have indeed changed after painting...
I used to lie on the sofa for a while after get off work, eat some snacks, and then cook and eat. After dinner, I go back to the sofa and continue to "lay down". I hold the remote control in my hand to search for and catch up on dramas, or shop online while watching TV. Before going to bed, I have to check my friends circle for a while. In short, I procrastinate all day long. People are tired. However, things are different after drawing every day. Because I am afraid that I will not have time to clock in and hand in my homework, I rush to cook as soon as I get off work every day. After dinner, I actively clean up the kitchen and quickly sit down at my desk to draw. It wasn't until I handed in my homework and I was so excited that I sent it to WeChat Moments that I reluctantly fell asleep. I made statistics this month and found that I only went out to dinner three times, watched almost no TV series, and had no time to shop online, so the number on my salary card increased. This discovery surprised me. It seems that painting can not only make you I use my time efficiently and save money!
During this month of painting, during the short holiday, my wife and I decided to go to Xiamen for a few days. Before I left, I asked my friends in the group how to draw during the trip. They all suggested bringing a water-based pen. I didn’t know what a water-based pen was, so I bought a colored pencil-like one at a shopping mall near my work. Pen, I finally selected five colors, including red, green, blue, black, and yellow, and set off.
It takes five hours to fly from Jilin to Xiamen. For me, sitting on the plane for five hours is actually quite boring. Normally I would complain about being tired and have to pester my lover to chat with me, or He staggered around and fell asleep, his hair as messy as a bird's nest. But this time I was uncharacteristically holding the brush in my left hand and started drawing on my little drawing book with my right hand. In the words of the teachers in the group, it is called "sketching". I drew my lover sleeping and my neighbor sleeping; the flight attendants delivering water and meals; I also drew the suitcase, the wings of the plane outside the window; and my self-portrait, etc. I had a sharp gaze along the way, not sleepy at all, and even my hair was not messed up. . In the words of my lover, it felt like I had been injected with chicken blood, but it saved trouble and was not annoying at all. Interestingly, he felt a little left out. He often advised me: Okay, you have painted enough, it’s time to take a rest, let’s chat for a while! Haha, it seems that it’s not easy to make things easier!
I had a lot of fun in Xiamen, and the pace was not fast. I was not as anxious as before when waiting for the bus and the boat. Instead, I took out the small drawing book I brought with me and started to draw the pictures left by the teacher. I checked in time on the homework topics, and sometimes I drew whatever I saw. In this way, I felt that the whole trip was very enjoyable and everything was so comfortable.
The day before I came back, the teacher in the group gave me a homework topic on painting leaves. This is a great time. I picked up a lot of leaves of different shapes while admiring the beautiful scenery of the seaside in Xiamen. My lover also helped me find a few beautiful leaves. At this time, it suddenly started to rain lightly. My wife and I said in unison: Go back and paint! We returned to our residence, listening to songs on the phone, he played games on the phone, and I leaned against the bed and began to draw leaves, one after another, nine in a row.
I remember that in the afternoon of that day, there was a steady drizzle outside the window, and the sound of my lover sleeping soundly came to my ears (he was already asleep). I only had the tip of my pen rustling under the light. Everything was so comfortable and pleasant. Beautiful... Later, when my lover woke up, I showed him the painted leaves and suggested that he, a "calligrapher", give me calligraphy tips. After thinking about it, he thought about it and wrote "Across the Ocean to See" the song we were listening to at the time. The lyrics of "You" are written on the nine paintings one by one. Ha ha! We completed the homework together and had an unforgettable and perfect painting trip to Xiamen.
The pace of time never stops, painting every day continues, and my changes are still happening...
