"what coffee and Chengdu have in common is indifference and relaxation." On May 16, Li Yuanbo, a 40-year-old designer from Xi'an, submitted a series of works called "Shaocheng playing easy" to the organizing committee of the "hand-painted Sichuan" event, one of which is to use coffee instead of paint. a unique old Chengdu is rendered on paper.

Since the launch of the West China Metropolis Daily-cover news "hand-painted Sichuan" creative painting competition, both primary school students, college students, painters and hand-painting enthusiasts have been submitting their excellent hand-painted works to the organizing committee of the event.

It is worth mentioning that in addition to winning a mysterious prize of 10,000 yuan, excellent works will also be included in Sichuan's "Local New textbook" exclusively created by Huaxi Metropolis Daily-cover News, and promoted to the classroom of primary and secondary school students in Sichuan.

Love Chengdu and care more about ordinary things.

There are not only floral classes full of literature and art, but also many alleys with approachable mahjong tables in front of non-staple food parlors; cute cats contract the whole food of Kuixing Lou Street; chubby pandas incarnate tourists who come for a day trip in a wide and narrow alley, or drink coffee with their legs up at Starbucks, or smoke a cigarette bag on a stool, or pass by the gate of Wushan Bookstore with a book in hand.

In Li Yuanbo's works, a large number of details of life constitute a realistic version of the "impression of Chengdu". If he had not grown up here, it would be difficult to observe it in such detail. But the author is not old Chengdu. Li Yuanbo, who used to work in Beijing, only came to live in Chengdu for a few years because of his job transfer. However, the comfortable breath of life here deeply attracted him, but also made him determined to take root. "because of my love of Chengdu, I prefer to observe things that people have become accustomed to," he told reporters. "

Coffee painting outlines the impression of indifferent Chengdu

"Coffee and Chengdu are both indifferent and relaxed." among the works submitted by Li Yuanbo, one group of works were painted with coffee. He said that because coffee and Chengdu have a common "taste", he chose to use coffee instead of paint to present the Chengdu image.

However, coffee painting is not as simple as imagined. "the temperature of coffee is difficult to master, not even if it is too cold or too hot, only based on experience." Li Yuanbo told reporters that although the form of coffee painting is simpler than watercolor, it is also very elegant. If the coffee temperature is not suitable, the painting will shine on the paper and the color will not sink. It often takes five hours to finish a painting.

"Coffee is easy to carry, and you can draw it wherever you go!" Although it is cumbersome, coffee makes it easier for Li Yuanbo to record his favorite life in Chengdu, reflecting the yellowish sense of time and leaving a long mellow fragrance on the paper.

Make a pot of mellow coffee and draw while drinking. I have to say, this leisurely way is really Chengdu!
