Ryan Zhang will not copy Huang Binhong's paintings, but that does not mean he does not appreciate them. He really appreciates and likes Huang Binhong's landscape paintings.
Several fine Huang Binhong landscape paintings, all created when he was in his eighties, touched Ryan Zhang deeply. He thought that the paintings had reached the level of freedom, and the high artistic conception and ancient flavor impressed Ryan Zhang.
After immersing himself in calligraphy and painting for so many years, Ryan Zhang has a very discerning eye. He may not be good at painting, but high standards and poor skills are the qualities that calligraphers and painters must possess. If one's vision is not high, no matter how hard one works, it is useless. This is accumulation, and this is why Chinese paintings are more valuable as they age. When one's vision improves, one imitates with heart and hands, and after a certain period of time, his calligraphy and painting will also improve.
There is very little speed in calligraphy and painting. Of course, there are also many masters who became famous at a young age in history, such as Wang Ximeng, a master of green landscape in the Northern Song Dynasty. His painting "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" shocked famous artists of all generations. He created such a masterpiece at the age of 18, and can be said to have left his name in the history of painting.
Such talented painters are extremely rare even in history.
