Features: Pen sketching and pen watercolor, especially pen watercolor, seems not to be recognized as a formal painting genre in the field of painting. However, in the design teaching of architecture, urban planning, environmental art, and landscape gardening in architectural colleges, teachers and students often use pen or pen watercolor as a means of expression when sketching ideas, designing quick sketches, or drawing preliminary renderings. Additionally, graduate students in the aforementioned fields typically use pen or pen watercolor for their entrance exams. This is due to the simplicity of the tools and their artistic charm. This book includes both sketching and watercolor, with the majority of the content exploring the use of lines and watercolor. It aims to use only one pen to draw lines in the works, striving for their refined and powerful strength and charm, while the coloring is done with watercolor, showcasing its flowing and transparent water and colors. Most of the works in the book are selected by the author and his students from internship sites or daily living environments. They include on-site sketches as well as works created after collecting materials.
