>Amanda She has loved painting since she was a child. In recent years, she has used her weekend time to receive comprehensive basic painting training under the guidance of painter Lin Feng, which has enabled her to make great progress in painting modeling, color application, and artistic creation. In the past six months, Amanda has participated in the Scholastic art and writing awards and won the silver medal; won first place in the 2018 Young Artists Authors Competition, and represented Chandler city in the final competition of the Washington D.C. International League City; and won second place in the Alberta Patriot Painting Competition.

Duck Post is a painting competition organized by the United States official organization to raise funds for environmental protection. Duck painting requires very realistic realism. Painter Lin Feng believes that for primary and secondary school students, if they compare the accurate copying of duck pictures for a long time, the children's artistic aesthetics, understanding and artistic innovation of painting will be biased, and it will destroy and stifle the children's painting personality and artistic talent. Therefore, Lin Feng Painter does not encourage students to participate. Students who are interested in participating are also required to start in February and complete and submit the manuscript in early March each year, within a limited time. Painting ducks cultivates the patience and skills of student craftsmen in painting, but it also brings more disadvantages.

As in previous years, this year’s winners in each age group are mainly from Chinese families, which shows that many Chinese children attach great importance to it and work hard.
