When traveling, people usually take photos of the places they are visiting, right? Well, some artists, instead of using a camera, sometimes paint the beauty they see. This is especially true in the case of Shanghai-based artist Zhifang Shi.
Zhifang Shi, also known as zhifangs on social media is a watercolor artist who travels a lot, and everything that captures his sight he passes onto a paper.
“The Shanghai-based artist works en plein air, painting atop a portable palette to document storefronts, architectural features, boats, and trolley cars,” according to Colossal. “Washes of color add depth and movement to Shi’s loose, gestural contour lines, and his focus on points of entry and modes of transit invites the viewer into the artist’s world.”
Shi shares his remarkable sketches on his Instagram profile where he has over 50.8 thousand followers.
