I like Beijing. I lived in Beijing for a few years when I was in college. I'm always impressed with those wide roads, old walls and Hutong(alley)
When I painted the Imperial Palace, I thought of that my classmates and I visited the Imperial Palace and the Beihai Park many years ago. We went to there many times (sometimes got a ticket for free), because it was so large that we only saw part of it every time.
The magnificent palace has experienced wind and rain for hundreds of years, and witnessed the rise and fall of Ming and Qing dynasties, delivering its decorous beauty in the sunset.
先调制好所有需要的背景色，然后大面积涂刷背景。先从中间的浅色亮部开始，一层层再叠加深色。
待背景干之后，调深灰色，画故宫的角楼，城墙。
然后再用细笔画出冬天的枯树。
最后修饰细节。一幅冬日里夕阳下的紫禁城就完成了。
我很喜欢北京。上學的時候曾經在那裡住了好幾年。北京的大气，街道宽敞，正南正北，还有那些古老的城墙，胡同，都给我留下很深刻的印象。
画这幅画时，就想起多年前在北京上学的时候和同学一起逛故宫和北海的情景。我们去了很多次故宫（有时候还是免费的呢），由于里面太大了，每次都只能逛一小部分。
雄伟的故宫角楼，无论是在枫叶似火的秋天，还是白雪皑皑的冬季，都是那么巍峨堂皇。它们走过数百年的风风雨雨，目睹着明清两朝的兴衰，见证时代变迁。夕阳下更是彰显它的厚重与静美。
新年快到了，自己动手画一个美丽的明信片送给朋友吧。_
