When he was a child, as soon as Cheng Hong was free, he carefully painted the back of the waste paper such as documents and materials that his father brought back from the factory. Pots, pots and pans, all kinds of furniture, etc. They have all become the "models" of his sketches, and burning the midnight oil has become a common occurrence. Occasionally, I will unconsciously draw it in the textbook during class. At school, he arranged the production of school blackboard newspaper and window for a long time and became a "little painter" in everyone's eyes. Because Cheng Hong's painting skills are particularly good, she was elected as the propaganda committee member of the Provincial Technical School Student Union, so she has a special painting venue and tools such as paper, pigments and pens. He is very devoted to painting, and sometimes he paints all night, which is full of interest. 1June, 980, 19-year-old Cheng Hong read the book Biography of Xu Beihong, and was deeply shocked by the bumpy experience of modern painter and art educator Xu Beihong. To this end, he met his classmate Feng Liming and went out to "travel" together to experience life. Say go go, two people back schoolbags, put on "drawing board" and pencil, sneak out of school, and set foot on the train to Yibin. In order to avoid the school being found when searching for you, they chose to take the "rural route". They walked along the river for a day and a night. At dusk, tired and hungry, they sat on the ridge for two or three hours, regardless of mosquito bites. Seeing that the road ahead was more chaotic, the next day, they had no choice but to go back the same way. A week later, they only spent 10 yuan and returned to Ziyang. Realizing the hardships of "wandering", Cheng Hong knew the importance of real skills after returning to school, and devoted himself to learning painting. He used the weekend time to paint movie posters for the factory for free. After graduation, Cheng Hong, a forging major, transferred to workshops, factories and some local units to do propaganda work with good handwriting and good painting. Two years later, Cheng Hong was engaged in pattern design and illustration drawing, and her works were published in Sichuan Workers Daily and Southwest Information Daily. 1At the end of 984, Cheng Hong and his wife were transferred to Liuzhou Vehicle Factory in Guangxi. Three months later, due to various reasons such as being too obsessed with painting, Cheng resigned and decided to fend for himself. Cheng Hong, who resigned after wandering with 10, took a pen and carried a backpack on his shoulder, and set up a stall in the streets of Liuzhou City to draw sketches for passers-by. Because Cheng Hong's portraits and objects are vivid and ingenious, it attracts waves of passing citizens. In this way, he barely maintained the expenses of accommodation and meals by charging 50 cents to/kloc-0 yuan for a portrait. There is no lack of hardships in the days of wandering outside. When it rains, there is no business for several days in a row, and hunger and cold are commonplace. Railway stations, bridge opening, street places, especially parks, have all become his haunts. What makes Cheng Hong feel most uncomfortable is the Spring Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and other festivals. People get together, but he wants to stay alone in the hotel to paint, which makes him very sad. "After the divorce, I have no choice but to take the last step!" Cheng Hong said that his wife could not accept his obsession with painting and asked him for a divorce. He began to go to cities inside and outside Sichuan, such as Yunnan and Henan. Although he experienced hardships, he felt very comfortable. Over time, his painting skills have improved day by day and he has gained more and more. 1In the autumn of 986, Cheng Hong arrived in Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province, and his sketch made a qualitative leap. Because of his unique paintings, everyone is amazed. Some citizens sometimes queue up until 12 after midnight and don't want to leave. In this city, Cheng Hong painted a huge poster for Jiangxi Acrobatic Troupe. The head of the troupe appreciated his talent and was invited to stay in the troupe. Because the acrobatic troupe performed in the north and south of the Yangtze River all the year round, it was in line with Cheng Hongyun's intention to travel around the world to learn painting, and also tasted the wandering life. The acrobatic troupe made Cheng Hong feel at home. In his opinion, as long as there are conditions for him to paint. As a result, Cheng Hong became an announcer, a magic actor and a clown of the Acrobatic Troupe. Later, Cheng Hong toured around with Henan Pingdingshan Acrobatic Troupe and Guangdong Huizhou Song and Dance Troupe. No matter how tired he was, as soon as he walked off the stage, Cheng Hong took out his pen and spread out the paper, showing a vivid picture. Two years later, Cheng Hong left the Song and Dance Troupe and resumed her wandering career. "To raise the truth by' fake' is to insist on painting. As long as there is enough money in my bag for me for a few days, I will stay in the hotel and paint. " Cheng Hong, who is more and more confident, has a new strategy in the way of making money. Whenever he goes to a new place, he first performs magic. After attracting more and more people to watch, he "changed" a drawing board, paper and pen in a wonderful performance, and then waved a brush. Vivid pictures were presented to everyone, and cheers and applause came and went. So, everyone rushed to ask him for a portrait. In this way, while performing, Cheng Hong sold magic playing cards and painted, accumulating more materials and experience. With 10 years of painting experience, Cheng Hong, who has a certain foundation, went to Fuchunjiang Academy of Fine Arts in Zhejiang Province for art study and further study in order to learn painting systematically. Painting was his first love (1992). Because of her affection for Ziyang, Cheng Hong ended her wandering career and married another Ziyang girl. "As an artistic language, thoughts and souls should be integrated into painting through deformation and color change." Cheng Hong said that oil painting not only expresses the ideological content endowed by the artist, but also expresses the language of oil painting. 1995, Cheng Hong learned from China Art Newspaper that Danqing Oil Painting Company (formerly Shaoshan Antique Craft Company) was recruiting oil painters for the whole country, and he was tempted. Cheng Hong began to teach herself oil painting. After three months of hard work and exploration, he was admitted. In Danqing Company, painters from the United States, the Netherlands and other countries are gathered, which can be described as masters like a cloud. Cheng Hong took advantage of this great opportunity to actively learn classical, modern and modern oil painting styles and various techniques, and to learn and consult with western painters and peers who came to the scene to guide him, and his painting skills advanced by leaps and bounds. In the following 10 years, Cheng Hong painted and copied a large number of portraits of European and American people and the world famous paintings. Cheng Hong is responsible for drawing key parts such as head and hands. He painted countless oil paintings, including more than 50 large and small Mona Lisa. At the same time, in the second year of going to Danqing Company, his wife broke up because he had been painting outside for many years, and Cheng Hong divorced again. In 2005, Cheng Hong married Ziyang girl again. At the end of 2006, as a first-class painter of Ren Danqing Company 12 years later, Cheng Hongmeng's wish to open a gallery in Ziyang finally came true. "People should be enterprising. Ambition is in your heart, and then work hard towards the goal, and naturally you will succeed! " After the opening of the gallery, Cheng Hong took good care of it, copying, taking photos and training students. Two of the students were admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts. At the same time, Cheng Hong boldly tried new techniques and began to shape characters. "Painting is my first love. If it affects and interferes with my pursuit of painting, no matter who it is, I will choose to give up! " Cheng Hong said that several of his marriages died because he was too obsessed with painting. In his most difficult and painful days, painting accompanied him and brought him endless happiness and happiness. Painting is the love of his life. Cheng Hong's wife is very supportive. Cheng Hong told reporters that he is going to use 10 years to form his own style in the most unique way. Even if he can't do it, he can work hard for his favorite painting, which is worth it. Now, after the ups and downs, Cheng Hong feels more confident. Because he can draw, he feels that life is full and happy.
