這本畫集收錄了梁佩鳳九十七幅水彩畫作。梁佩鳳曾於2015年出版過一本畫集，收錄的作品主要以線條與色彩構成；而此次的畫集則聚焦於水彩畫——一種顏料與水完美融合的藝術形式。雖然梁佩鳳在繪畫的造型與構圖上皆能掌握自如，但水彩對她而言仍是一項新的探索。唯有透過持續的實踐——多畫、多學，並在經驗中不斷琢磨，她才能逐步精進。畫集的最後一個部分，則收錄了梁佩鳳的傳統工筆國畫。This album is a collection of 97 watercolor paintings by Liang Peifeng.In 2015, Liang Peifeng published a collection of works primarily created with line and color. This current collection, however, focuses mainly on watercolor—an art form that embodies the perfect fusion of pigment and water. Although Liang Peifeng is adept at handling form and composition in her painting, watercolor remains a new exploration for her. Only through continuous practice—painting more, learning more, and refining her skills through experience—has she been able to improve.The final section of this collection features Liang Peifeng's traditional Chinese gongbi paintings.
