Can Chinese painting be taught by itself? I like it, but I have no conditions!

Nowadays, you can learn almost everything online-but some key knowledge. In view of the old tradition in China, painters often refuse to disclose it. Therefore, it is best to have a good teacher.

Since self-taught Chinese painting can become a gifted scholar, it is entirely possible to reach the point where works can be given to friends. If an elegant art is "not difficult" to master, then everyone can master it easily. How can those works of art sell at such a high price? However, nothing is difficult in the world, as long as you are willing to climb.

Chinese painting can be divided into three categories: flowers and birds, figures and landscapes. From the technical point of view, it can be divided into: meticulous brushwork (light color, heavy color,), freehand brushwork (big freehand brushwork, small freehand brushwork, writing with it), line drawing and boneless. Genre can be divided into: literati painting and institutional painting.

If you want to learn, you'd better start with sketching. And decided to specialize in that.

Tools that self-learners need to prepare

Pen: From the material point of view, there are wool, wolf hair, chicken feather and rabbit hair, and from the shape point of view, there are sizes, lengths and thicknesses, such as Gou Xianbi, clothing pattern pen, bucket pen and grab pen. ...

Ink: There are pine smoke and lampblack. At present, all the traditional Chinese painting inks are ready-made, such as Yidege, Cao Sugong and China inks ... Some of them are developed with ink. Different inks, on different papers, feel different.

Paper: There are raw and cooked, raw paper is mostly used for freehand brushwork, and cooked paper is mostly used for meticulous painting, but they are not absolute.

Inkstone: Mainly used for studying and storing ink.

In addition, you must have a sense of touch, freehand brushwork should be placed under the paper, and meticulous brushwork is not needed, because cooked paper is impermeable. There should be a washing pen. It is better to have a picture, and it is also convenient to embed the picture on the wall.
