水彩,可以当作我的日记 WATERCOLOURS AS MY DIARY
每个人走的地方都很多,主要的记录方式是用照片。照片我也拍了很多,但我发现,哪怕是画几笔速写,画一些颜色的小水彩,它的记忆就比照片要好很多。照片一拍就匆匆完事,但绘画就能感受是什么样的色调,什么样的季节,什么样的情绪。这几笔实际上是很重要的,它比照片给人的印象要深,记录的信息量要大。
这个习惯的养成,也是现在画水彩的原因。这些水彩,可以当作我的日记。我是不睡懒觉的,起得很早。人家起床吃早饭时,我已经画了几张了。
一年四季是重复的,但每一次重复却因为人年龄的增长而给人不同感觉。人越来越走向衰老,对生命的感受也不一样。年轻的时候认为生命无限,感受不是很深,但随着年龄的增大,有一种紧迫感,对生命的感受就是要珍惜生命中的每一天,这种感受现在特别深,当然就会把握每一个季节去画画。
每一个春天都应该紧紧抓住,应该画很多画。
When one goes to places, he usually takes photos as a record of experience. I also take lots of pictures, but I discover that some sketches or small watercolours serve this purpose better. I finish taking photos in a matter of minutes, but painting makes me feel a kind of tone, in what season, or in what mood. These strokes are more impressive and abundant in information.
This habit of painting was the reason why I paint watercolours now. They serve as my diary. I get up early every morning and finish a few of them when others are at the breakfast table.
The seasons are repetitive, but I feel differently as I grow old. When one becomes senior, one has a dif- ferent taste of life. Life for a young man is infinite and he does not feel as much. Older folks feel a sense of urgency, and they treasure every day. I feel this profoundly, so I will seize every season. Each spring day is to be used for painting. |
