Features: Watercolor painting is a highly charming independent art form, with its advantages primarily: vivid colors, firm brushstrokes, strong summarization, and soft luster. Compared to watercolor painting and oil painting, watercolor painting can both convey the transparent, ink-like feel of watercolor painting and achieve the thickness and fullness of oil painting. Additionally, in terms of the material and tool characteristics of watercolor painting, it has the advantages of being portable, easy to clean, quick to dry, and allowing for repeated modifications. Therefore, with more and more people falling in love with painting and the popularization of art education, watercolor portrait sketching has become a primary means of testing color skills and training color fundamentals, and is increasingly chosen as the first option by art schools. European realist-style works provide us with excellent examples for study. During the learning process, it is important to view as many outstanding works as possible. Copying is also a good learning method, as it helps us conduct in-depth research. We should strive to understand the different styles and artistic essence of various works, and while marveling at their superb techniques, also focus on the spiritual connotation of their works, setting high and lofty goals for ourselves.
