This document discusses two sketches by Gao Jianfu. The first sketch includes images from paintings by Mei Qing and Ming dynasty painters that Gao copied to study different artists' techniques. The second sketch contains detailed notes in small characters describing the colors used for insects, flowers, and leaves as a reference for Gao's own practice. Making notes was a common method that Chinese painters like Ren Bonian and Deng Fen also used to record techniques while studying art.

Gao Jianfu made detailed notes of the colouring of the insects, flowers
and veins of the leaves (written with small characters with similar
pronunciations to the descriptions of colours on the picture) to record the
colours on the belly of the insects, its head and body, as well as different
parts of the flowers as a reference for later. The same method was used
by Ren Bonian (1840–1895) and Deng Fen (1894-1964). It is one of the
common methods Chinese painters employed in their study.
