淇澳（彩墨）

一個朋友的太太在翻閱過咱們的畫冊之後，感喟地說：「我覺得畫畫好難哦。」

畫畫其實不難。

就先不要說難不難，單在紙上把色墨塗來抹去，翻手雲雨的塗抹過程中，畫畫至少還是很有興味的，不是嗎？畫壞了，揉掉，重來。紙、顏料都是自己的，主控權握在自己手中，我們操控主宰畫中的一切，不也是痛快淋漓的事嗎。

畫畫，不要給自己壓力，快樂的畫，把畫畫當成娛樂，這樣就不覺得吃力了。每個人都是「從無到有」、「從不會到會」這樣走過來的。拿筆沾墨，展紙染色，畫上去再說，不要管它像不像，好不好，畫了再說。朋友，把筆拿起來，畫了再說。

Qiao Island/ink and color painting

A friend’s wife sighed and said: “I think painting is very hard” after flipping through some albums of my paintings.

Painting is actually not hard at all.

Let’s first not discuss whether it is hard or not. It is plenty of fun to just simply play around with colors and ink on paper. Don’t you agree? You can just throw away a painting if it is bad. Then you can just paint another. The paper and paints are yours, and you have full control of them. Isn’t it incredibly satisfying to have total control over a painting?

You shouldn’t give yourself pressure when you paint. You won’t feel it is difficult as long as you paint with a happy heart and treat painting as an entertainment. Everyone has to start from the beginning, and make the journey from being unable to being able. Eventually you will very naturally dip your brush in the in ink, spread your paper, and apply pigments. You should just go ahead and paint, and don’t mind whether it is good or bad. Just paint.
