I like art very much, especially painting. I like many types of paint, such as oil painting, pastel painting, postercolor painting, computer painting, sketch and so on. Also, I prefer representational to abstract. It’s a little difficult for me to understand the abstract styles paintings. My favourite artist is Leonardo da Vinci. As we all know, he not only was one of the greatest artists, but he also is the most diversely talented person. I started to love his paintings when I first learned how to paint. He had so many famous works, like “the Last Supper”, “Mona Lisa”, “the Virgin and Child with St. Anne”, “ the Vitruvian” and so on. It must be amazing if I have the opportunity to personally see his works in the museums. For now I only have been to Gallerie dell'Accademia in Venezia, and that the only place I have been besides America and China, it collects some paintings of Titian. It's a pity that I have not visited the Musei Vaticani, because of the dress code when I was in Rome. They told me it’s not allowed women wearing dresses and shorts to visit the Musei Vaticani. I always want to see Michelangelo's wall paintings. If I have chance to visit there again, I definitely will wear pants. In addition, my favourite museum in New York is Metropolitan Museum of Art, I have visited there twice. But the museum is too big, it is impossible to see all in two times. So I bought a book about the museum, and mark some places I have to see for the next time.
To sum up, I love art and painting very much, and I would like be an illustrator in the future. However, people always ask me what does illustrator do? I always can't give an exactly answer. Because I haven't learn illustration in formal class yet. Also I think it contains many types and styles paint, but most of them are painted on the computers and papers. Some people also paint on the woods or other materials. Illustrations can be artistic images illustrating for example a text, poem, fashion, magazines, stamps or a book. I'll post some pictures of my favourite illustrators works and some Leonardo da Vinci's paintings. One of them is a illustration of the New York city.
