Features: "The New Jieziyuan Painting Manual" is an accumulation project of national culture and an important part of the "Ninety-Five Publishing Plan" of the People's Fine Arts Publishing House. The editors are all experienced old colleagues of mine. One of the techniques taught in this book is the continuation of the stylized method. Whether it is opera, dance, or painting, the conventions all originate from life and are specific methods of generalization that transform life phenomena into artistic forms. Compared to the original "Jieziyuan Painting Manual," the "New Jieziyuan Painting Manual" has added many new ideas. First, this manual gathers nearly one hundred well-known experts of the contemporary era, each contributing their expertise to create specialized collections. The creative steps and methods they provide are authoritative and credible. From sketches to life studies to creation, it generally follows a realistic path, demonstrating scientific rigor. At the same time, it selects approximately an equal number of outstanding works from ancient and modern times to broaden learners' perspectives, supplemented by about 15,000 words of explanatory text to elevate learners' theoretical understanding.
