Four Steps to Painting Works

Observation is the first step in learning to draw. The development of things always follows the law of recognizing-understanding-familiarizing, and observation runs through it. Concentrate on observation, so that the mind can be stabilized, it is best to achieve the realm of forgetting everything. Only by observing carefully and having a good idea of what you want to do can you capture the characteristics of a thing and draw it down.

According to the principle of first overall and then local. First overall observation, mainly observe the shape of things, colors, etc.; second observation of local, repeatedly compare the proportion of things in various parts of the size, from the whole of the things to remember, and make it stored in the mind, in order to prepare for future use, that is, what we usually say to accumulate material.

For example, let's look at a flower. First, the first overall look at the flower growth posture, followed by the distribution of flowers, shape, color, and so on, and again from the more subtle look at the shape of the petals and their order, and finally look at the distribution of leaves, shape, color, and the growth of the trunk.

Second, the most common scenery in many laws, "common sense" and "stereotypes" is the obstacle to observation

To set aside "common sense" and Consistency, strengthen the practice, painting is one of the plastic arts. Modeling ability of the high and low strength and weakness, directly affecting the performance of the work, the training of modeling ability to sketching based on the training process, should be from easy to difficult, from shallow to deep, step by step. Hands-on practice painting objects are everywhere, a tree, a stone, buildings, are the object of sketching, do not have to practice to the mountains and rivers. After observing and comparing, you can sketch on the spot, or you can draw it down afterward according to your memory. Draw as much as you can remember, and revise it over and over again. As time goes by, you will remember more and you will be able to draw more, faster and better.

Practice is the most important and effective way to learn to paint well, and you must be persistent and often do it. Like the famous Italian painter Leonardo da Vinci. Qi practiced painting eggs when he was a child, and later got tired of it, the teacher told him that there is no identical eggs in the world, and practicing painting eggs is to train the eyesight (observation) and improve the skills of painting, so that he can paint more accurately and faster. Leonardo da Vinci After the famous Da Vinci also never forget to practice, once he ate in a restaurant, eating and practicing painting on the desktop, see practice is how important to improve painting skills!

Beginners should start from simple to complex, from small to large, from small to large, step by step; do not be greedy for more and more, painting complex objects.

Three, constantly improve the level of appreciation

Painting is good or bad, to a certain extent, depends on a person's level of appreciation. How to improve the level of appreciation? It requires us to visit painting exhibitions often, look at excellent works of art, and learn from people whose level is higher than ours. For excellent works of art, look at their skills and methods of using ink, lines and colors, and discuss and exchange views with each other, so as to take the strengths of others to make up for our own shortcomings. As time goes by, our level of appreciation will improve, and so will the level of painting.

Fourth, the edge of the feelings

Learning to paint not only the basic knowledge and basic skills, but also need to have a rich and profound knowledge. When depicting objects, we can not ignore the growth characteristics of the object, the law, the environment and other factors, and the world's thousands of objects, we need to understand the knowledge of thousands of thousands, which requires us to continue to learn, read a lot of books, to understand the development of history and society, to understand the humanities, geography, scientific knowledge, so that your paintings will be full of scientific significance, have a profound connotation, borrowing the object to express the ideas and feelings you The idea and feelings you want to express, get people's appreciation and like.
