席德進 山水景色 1981 彩墨 紙本 33 x 46.5 cm 簽名左上：席德進 一九八一 鈐印左上：席德進
《山水景色》作品是席德進病逝前不久到摯友L君台中家中作客時，在他的畫冊上 信手創作。此幅畫作以水彩畫的著色法，將彩色調和至接近墨灰，然後上色暈染， 灰色中還透過其他的顏色，富有餘味。 畫筆掃過的痕跡，在紙上形成煙雲般的留白。席德進指出毛筆的破筆法優點：「一 筆掃過呈現出飛白，即由無數細線排列組合而成的自然紋理，具有速度感，又似一 片光的閃耀。」此作前景幾株紅樹，點出季節時令，增添亮麗的現代感，整幅畫面 既有水彩的色感，也有水墨的韻味。 “Landscape” was created when Shiy De-jinn was visiting Mr. L in Taichung just not long before he passed away. The main hue of this watercolor painting is dark grey with touches in other inks. It is enchanting to see other colors revealed in the gray hue. Brush strokes leave flying white blanks on the paper. Shiy De-jinn pointed out the advantage of Chinese calligraphy strokes: "A stroke flies over the canvas and leaves on the picture a strip of white. The natural texture combined with countless threads shows a sense of speed and shines as a spark of light." Some red trees in the foreground not only indicate the season of this painting but also add brightness and modernness to its presentation. Watercolors figure predominantly in the work, though ink wash is also present in a sense of component of the work.
