Features: Gong Liuzhao has long been engaged in teaching watercolor and sketching. Since the publication of this book, "Research on Watercolor Still Life Sketching," in 1991, he has written and published over 30 teaching books, including Research on Watercolor Landscape Teaching, Teaching Q&A on Watercolor Still Life, Teaching Q&A on Watercolor Landscape, Illustrated Steps for Watercolor Still Life Sketching, Collected Examples of Watercolor Landscape Teaching, Comprehensive Guide to Art Foundation Teaching—Watercolor Still Life, Teaching Q&A on Sketching Portraits, and Teaching Q&A on Sketching. In 2000, he also participated in editing the series Teaching Dialogues of Powerful Contemporary Teachers from China's Higher Art Academies, which has had a broad impact across the country. Amid the high tide of creative enthusiasm in today's art world, Gong Liuzhao remains dedicated to the research and practice of foundational teaching—a spirit that deserves great admiration. As an important aspect of art foundation teaching, watercolor instruction still faces many pressing issues, such as how to align with teaching in other disciplines, how to overcome material limitations and expand expressive capabilities, and how to adapt teaching to the developments of contemporary and modern art. Gong Liuzhao is tirelessly exploring and striving to address these challenges. The works in this book are selected from his recent sketches in classrooms or during trips, chosen from hundreds of his works as classic examples. This is both a summary of the past and a new beginning. We sincerely wish him greater achievements and development in foundational teaching and hope he will make new contributions to the art education cause.
