Features: In painting, color sketching is a great way to familiarize ourselves with color, master color, and understand the laws of color change. Through color sketching exercises of still life, we can master using color to shape objects, express the rich variations of object's own color under light, and understand the relationships between colors. Through color sketching exercises of landscapes, we can gradually grasp the different color changes of various objects under natural light, capture the beauty of various colors, and express the passion we feel when facing the subject. Color sketching is relatively close to the natural color of objective objects and also aligns with the aesthetic habits of ordinary people.

Color still life sketching or memory drawing is definitely not a simple technical labor. The artistic function of the work determines that the entire painting process requires three basic conditions: artistic cultivation plus expression techniques, none of which can be missing. However, in long-term practice, some candidates or other learners of painting always fail to grasp the key points and remain stuck. Watching beginners in the painting class often draw, they tend to act randomly, either applying unrelated colors repeatedly on the canvas or creating a chaotic scene with disorganized relationships. The root cause of this issue, apart from painting less, is more importantly the lack of a clear artistic approach in their minds.
