Features: "Sketch gives form to biology, color gives them life!" Written according to the brand-new teaching syllabus and curriculum standards, it is scientific, standardized, systematic, and rigorous, meticulously compiled and illustrated by frontline experts. Still-life painting in gouache typically depicts common objects in our daily lives. The arrangement of still-life subjects should have a certain connection, and the combination of different still-life objects should reflect a specific theme. The expression of still-life painting is achieved through certain methods and painting steps, combined with personal subjective feelings to enhance this theme. The methods include: composition—color modeling—texture expression—beauty expression of the picture (tone expression and spatial expression). The steps include: monochrome sketch (big relationship of sketch)—big relationship of color—deep—picture adjustment. The training of combined still-life primarily adopts two forms: observation drawing and memory drawing. Observation drawing is the foundation, mainly used to master color rules and recognize various contrasts in color relationships, improving the ability to grasp color and model with color. Memory drawing of combined still-life reflects comprehensive abilities such as imaginative thinking, memory, modeling, color control, and picture processing. Combining observation drawing and memory drawing methods for training helps develop good painting habits, progress step by step, continuously improve modeling and color-handling skills, and fully express the beauty of gouache still-life. The entire series is divided into: Beginner's Guide (Introduction to Color, Color Copying); Basic Guide (Single-Object Still-Life, Combined Still-Life); Advanced Guide (Color Landscape, Design·Color) – 6 volumes in total. The series adopts a scientific classification method, combining the basic artistic learning patterns of adolescents, through setting different topics and providing a large number of color exercises and step-by-step illustrations, systematically and standardizedly explaining the basic knowledge, expression forms, and methods of color. The series emphasizes the interconnection of knowledge structures between each volume, forming a complete learning system. The content progresses step by step, is easy to understand, from the initial knowledge of color, single-color expression, color copying, to how to conduct observation drawing of single-object still-life, combined still-life, and color landscape, and finally introduces some relevant knowledge of color application and design. This helps adolescents and painting enthusiasts better master the basic knowledge and expression skills of color, quickly break free from pure exam-oriented training, avoid detours, and lay a solid foundation for an early career in the arts. If you are a beginner in painting, this series is suitable for you—it can help you avoid detours; if you are a painting enthusiast, this series is equally suitable for you—it can provide you with a comprehensive and scientific learning method; if you are a student preparing for the college entrance examination, this series will be a great help to you!
