An exhibition of oil painting

I had appreciated Chinese painting and even learnt drawing it. However, for western oil painting, I have no ideas. Recently, I am interested in oil painting out of no reason.

Oil painting originated in Europe, around the 15th century by the Dutch invented to reconcile with linseed oil paint, after treatment of the cloth or on-board painting, because after the oil paints do not change color, to reconcile a variety of colors does not become dirty, artist can paint a rich, life-like color. Because of opaque oil paint, covering power, so when painting from deep to shallow layers coverage, so have a three-dimensional painting. Creative canvas suitable large-scale, epic Giant for. The history of Western painting the main body of paintings, are now kept in the West Bank paintings are mainly paintings. The vast majority of the murals also work with oil paints and creative way of production. The late 19th century, because of technological development, many new materials used in oil fields, such as propylene pigment, paint and so on.

At March 14, after we had lunch at Round Table Steak House, Wynn, Frank and I went to a small gallery called Hai An Shu Ye to appreciate an exhibition of oil painting. The small gallery locates near Confucius Temple and when we arrive at there by taxi, the time was one o’clock already. We chose this place because of free watching. Looking around the exhibition room, I found one artwork just like Hutong. I am interesting in this one because the artist put the western painting skill and Chinese culture together, so this artwork expresses the essence of the western painting and the plain view of Chinese Hutong.

The exhibition showed oil paintings almost were drawn by Chinese. Although I think they all drew it well, but still a little bit boring. If the gallery can shoe some artworks by international artists, it will be better.

The lunch of Round Table Steak House

There are many western restaurants locate in Nanjing 1912 block. Today I finally have a great chance to go there to have a super delicious lunch with my classmates, Kevin, Wynn, and David Du, a 10-E student.

Since Wynn and I all need to go to NFLS to help Ms. Hadley to paint the wall of the garden of GCA. And when we finished painting, the time was 11:30 A.M. So we hurried up to run to the school gate and took a taxi to Round Table Steak House at once because Kevin and David had been there waiting for us. When we arrived at there, the time was almost 12:00.

When we came into the restaurant, the waitress treated us with strong passion. There were lots of people having a lunch here because of noon. So she asked us to have s seats first and told us when there were empty places she would call us. I looked around at this free time. The layout of this restaurant is pretty good, simple but elegant, bright with comfortable. The small clean house with the green plants makes us have a feeling about western culture.

After found seats, the waiter helped us to choose food. There are eight kinds of food, and we need to choose one separately from these five kinds. I chose Fruit Salad, French Corn Soup, French Crispy Chicken, Orange Pudding and Ice Coffee American for my food. I really love to eat them, not only have main food, but also have delicious confections. The food in western countries is all grilled. However, the foods in China usually use oil to cook them. It’s different from western countries.

Most of people in here are teenagers. I think students can come to here to taste western food because of the cheap price if use student cards and good service. They can have a relaxed rest here after studing.
