生活是一切创作的源泉，速写是生活与创作的纽带和引子。速写和创作在造型艺术家的艺术活动中，是密不可分的。速写可以引申为创作，创作又以写生为基础，从而使作品充满生气，富有诗意。从画家的艺术表现力来说，创作是艺术，好的速写也是艺术，有时候速写的艺术性和感人性，还是其他绘画形式所不可比的。画家可通过速写触景生情、以情感物、借物抒情，进而达到物我两融的境界。王同仁在艺术实践中十分重视速写。长期以来，他以一个游子之心，对西北高原浑朴天然、雄健粗犷的人情风貌，寄予真挚的深情和热爱，曾多次跋涉于黄河之滨、阳关古道，观风物、察民情，以赤诚的心灵感受、以诗情画意的画笔抒写对客观生活的真情实感和胸臆。因而使速写的表现力与感染力达到“乃若天成”的妙境。他在汲取和发扬民族传统的基础上，另辟蹊径，逐步形成自己独特的速写风格和个性：构图气势奔流，意趣无穷；形象深沉朴厚，写实无华；笔法洗练，放浪有度。王同仁的创作是很优秀的作品。这本画册里丰富多彩的速写，同样是十分感动人，是引人入胜的生活掠影，是意味无穷的艺术品。从这里，我们认识到同仁作品的佳处所在，更认识到速写对一个画家的重要性，更说明了，一个画家，不，是所有的画家，在艺术活动中，应该不偏废地重视速写，只有在生活中多画速写和创作，才能不断地充实自己的艺术，让艺术不断地有新意、不断地向前发展。LOVELIFEANDRECREATENATUREByLiuKaiquLifeisthesourceofallcreations,whereassketchisthelinkbetweenlifeandcreation.Sketchandcreationareinseparableintheartisticactivitiesofaplasticartist.Sketchcanextendtobecomecreation,andinversely,creationtakessketchasitsfoundation,soastomaketheworksvividandpoetic.Fromtheangleofthepainter’sartisticexpression,creationisart,andagoodsketchisart,too.Sometimes,otherformsofpaintingareevenincomparablewiththeartistryandtouchingpowerofthesketch.
