The worst part is actually being able to see what he was painting.
When Chen Huihong read these words, she blurted out, "No wonder Xiao Qin can make the guo'er so realistic."
Director Qin said with a smile, "Although Huaihuai's paintings have a strange color combination, they're very well-done."
"Look at this one, it hardly ever snowed here; at least when Huaihuai was young, nobody had seen snow. The orphanage didn't have a television set initially; later, a kind person donated one. This painting was made when Huaihuai hadn't seen heavy snow, relying solely on the descriptions of snowy scenes in his language textbook." Director Qin pointed to a painting almost entirely filled with black, except for clouds and ground depicted in white crayon.
"Huaihuai said snow is white, but when you use a white crayon on paper, the effect is not visible, so he used a black crayon to color the whole paper black, making the white snow appear."
