Features: Landscape color sketching is a highly important course in the foundational teaching at art academies. Before entering, students usually receive color training through still-life sketching, rarely engaging in outdoor landscape sketching. Still-life sketching provides initial training in color knowledge under relatively simple and fixed lighting conditions, while landscape sketching requires students to accurately and vividly depict the ever-changing natural world within limited time. Therefore, landscape sketching courses demand a higher and more professional level of understanding and mastery of color knowledge. Due to the lowering of university admission "standards," many institutions have expanded enrollment for art students while highlighting the weakness of landscape sketching in teaching. Meanwhile, many art-loving readers in society lack such practice, and in the perception of some, replacing sketching with photography is a significant deviation. To address this, our publishing house has released this set of watercolor landscape sketching collections, featuring works by renowned painters and professors in China, as well as outstanding student pieces, serving as an excellent reference for readers today learning landscape sketching.
