成人国画
大多数学习绘画的朋友，包括我自己，都希望尽量了解国画的本质，以便尽快看出作品的优秀之处。这个目的，必须通过三个关口，第一，能够亲自用自己的笔墨和颜料，画出具有高级中国画意味的笔画来；第二，能够画出既是局部，又有整体效果的小作品来；第三，能够妥帖地把自己的名款题在画上，并且有真实的意味。这三点，也是三个步骤。在准备充分的条件下， 其实不难。
我们希望通过两种课程，帮助大家体会这其中的奥秘。第一个课程，是花卉画和四君子画。通过把玩硬毫和软毫，笔尖和笔肚，浓墨和淡墨，墨色和彩色，互相对比的方式，学习中国画艺术的基本特质，看看张大千和齐白石，在点化毕加索的时候（直接和间接地），怎么让这位大师受益的；第二个课程，是山水和点景。通过学习南派和北派山水皴法，传统树石染色法，巨树和远树的画法，以及人物骡马的点景画法，看宋人怎么在画。宋人是怎么真正做到了书画同源，而后人违背书画同源的道理而不自知的后果。我们了解别人的失误而得着的阶梯，是爬上去而站在巨人之肩的不二法门。
