Should've posted this the day it happened but I was barely existing in the material realm due to group presentations. Also the pictures I took are bad but I had a class right after it so I couldn't retake the pictures.
I took a course about Chinese art and the teacher invited an artist to have a talk and do some demonstrations. His name is 徐沛之.
My only experiences in doing Chinese art were the ink painting course I took and the Chinese ink calligraphy homework I needed to do when I was in primary school. The lack of experience prevented me from fully admiring his skills but I was still blown away by his demo. Man writing with the brush so silky smooth and every stroke is perfect. If you tried writing with a brush before, you probably know it's difficult to use. And it's more difficult if you are doing Chinese calligraphy as each stroke has so much details on it. Other than the strength on different part of a stroke, you have to pay attention on how to start a stroke and end a stroke beautifully. It's so difficult and he just did it effortlessly.
Besides of the calligraphy, he drew something in the demo too. One of his drawings is the shrimp and crab. Due to the texture and the great quality of the paper, ink of each stroke bled but every stroke can still be seen clearly. It worked perfectly on showing the translucency of the shell of the shrimp, as well as showing the fuzzy fur of the crab. With the clean strokes, they look so alive and adorable too.

After the crustaceans, he drew mosquito with a small brush. I guess mosquito is extremely rare in Chinese painting so it makes the experience of witnessing someone draw it more valuable. His brush control is so insane that he is able to draw a mosquito in its original size with strokes so tiny that we can barely see it. He then drew a bigger version so we can see the details clearer. It's just wild. Besides the mad skills, the paper he used for the mosquito drawing was different from the other drawings and calligraphy. As the bleeding will ruin the small details of the mosquito, he drew it on an a4 paper that we used for printing instead.

Earlier that week, I went to an ink painting exhibition with my class and talked about it with my father. He told me that there're colors in the bleed out of ink if you see closely. Due to so many reasons (e.g. sleepy af, everyone is looking at the same drawing at the same time, dim lighting), I couldn't see it that day. So I paid extra attention to try to see if its real in the demo. I even went to bed early for that. Turns out its real. There're subtle changes in the color of ink when its drying, like when its wet its bluer and when its dry the color is warmer. Also there're subtle colors in each strokes, which are more apparent if its a soft, wet stroke and the bleed out part of the stroke. You can pay attention to it if you have the chance to see an ink painting.
Overall, the demonstration was an amazing experience. Even better, my teacher showed her own Chinese paintings after the demo for us to watch. The whole lesson was so inspiring. I thought Chinese ink painting was boring because every lesson it's just the teacher talking about stuff and the drawings look kinda similar. This lesson changed my mind completely. Looking at the artist creating drawings so cleanly is like magic. It definitely sparked my curiosity on Chinese ink painting. I wish I have more lessons like that but it was the last lesson of the course. Every lesson should be like that so I don't have to try my best to stay awake in the morning. However, I know that it's difficult for my teacher to arrange even one lesson like that so I am thankful that it happened.
