There are three ways to draw gouache, which is the best? No matter how hard it is. What are the other three advantages?

Regarding the techniques in gouache painting, the thickness of color is related to physical texture. In gouache still life sketch, the color of the picture will become thicker after modification. If the color thickening is not properly controlled, the picture on the background color will become gray. However, some students deliberately fill in colors when painting, but the effect is good. So which color is better, strong or light, and how to draw it?

Thick painting and thin painting are also called dry painting and wet painting. Thick painting mainly refers to using less water in the process of color matching, using thick colors when covering, and using more colors. But thin painting usually refers to the thin and moist color when painting, which has a moist painting effect. In fact, in gouache sketch, heavy ink and light ink are often combined. Of course, some authors prefer to use thick paintings or thin paintings, which is also determined by their painting habits.

In order to explain the different techniques and grasp the painting method, let's talk about the respective characteristics of these two painting methods.

When painting with thick painting, the pen color is full and the water is less. When expressing the object, the pen must be strong and the direction of strokes must be clear. It is very suitable for expressing solids and heavy objects with definite shape transition, such as casserole, hot pot, potato, melon and fruit. In the performance of thick painting, in addition to the method of thick pile molding, through-the-bottom painting can also be used. This method is that although the pigment on the pen is dry and thick, the amount of dipping color is not much, so it is easy and smooth when painting with the pen, which intentionally creates a Trainspotting effect, that is, the color of the pen should not be painted realistically, which makes people feel very breathable, and the background color will be exposed between the pens, which is the same as the tone tendency of the color area. This technique can create a relaxed, lively, rich and vivid color effect.

Thin paintings are generally painted in a large area, dripping with water, and then added layer by layer. When painting thinly, the color and water consumption should be enough to lay a big picture relationship in one breath. Draw quickly and decisively, or there will be a lot of water stains. Thin paintings are often suitable for soft linings, glass reflections, porcelain vases, flowers or fruits, which are helpful to express the luster and subtle color changes of objects. On the one hand, it depends on the type of object, on the other hand, it also depends on personal painting habits and preferences.

Both thick painting and thin painting can be used to draw various objects, and thick painting and thin painting can also be used comprehensively. Generally speaking, the color of the dark part and the color of the distant background object are lighter and more imaginary, and the color of the bright part and the color of the near object are thicker and more realistic. This is easy to open the color intensity before and after, and it is also in line with our visual experience.
