Features: Color is a fundamental element of painting, similar to sketching. In China's modern color teaching system, it primarily adopted and drew inspiration from Western experiences, deeply influenced by Western painting styles such as Impressionism, Realism, Classicism, and modern renowned painting schools, with evident impacts on the field of academic teaching. In terms of color, especially Impressionism, it was widely introduced to China as early as 1956. In the past two decades, numerous painters and teachers have personally witnessed the dazzling artistic world of Impressionist color in major museums around the world. Impressionist painters have left behind an extremely rich body of work in their research and practice of light and color, which continues to awe later generations. When learning to paint from life, it is rare to avoid the influence and charm demonstrated in their works.
