Features: "I Paint Like This" features 106 sketches and black-and-white paintings by the author, created in both the United States and China, divided into over 40 groups, each with a unique technique. Each group is accompanied by a text that describes the essential elements of sketching as an art form and any creative process—such as accidents, setbacks, serendipities, and surprises—from different perspectives and in various styles. The author also incorporates snippets of his life in the United States. The text complements the sketches, offering insights that resonate with the artwork: what is described holds the truth beyond the frame, while what is painted reveals the subtlety within the words. The collection includes human and portrait studies, as well as imaginative and creative works. Sometimes, the author discusses the people in his paintings, while at other times, he delves into the techniques behind them. There are on-site charcoal drawings, as well as reflective pieces. All these variations aim to authentically capture the state of a person deeply in love with and curious about sketching.
