badatpool Posted August 19, 2004 at 03:31 PM Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 at 03:31 PM One of the good things about going to an art college is that every year you can 'caifeng' (go to the beautiful places to research folk art, though the real reason is just to go for a holiday) and you get lots of special treatment. I remember when we were at Dunhuang, the cave we visited was off-limits and t the spotlights were turned on so we could see clearly (strong lights are bad for frescoes though), and we were even allowed to take photos (we didn’t do that, because flash isn’t good for frescoes either) The following sketches were drawn by me in a village called 川底下村(chuan di xia cun) . Most of the houses were made in Ming Qing dynasty and preserved well. Many TV series and films were shot there and village head was very humorous.The most famous food there is the whole roast sheep, :I don't think you would have enjoyed it after seeing the lovely sheep have it's head cut off. I put them here, because the post about Wu : Wuguanzhong I made days ago. I saw his sketch of a house in a album and I thought mine are as good as his, particularly the first one, welcome comment.

shibo77 Posted August 24, 2004 at 08:33 PM Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 at 08:33 PM Great sketches Badatpool! I collect stamps, and I thought that those sketches would be great to be placed on stamps. Engraved not offset. You can always send your ideas to the Postal master. -Shibo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
