Features: This book, Tendrils and Ear Corn White Description Sketch Collection, is the second work created by Du Yuhuan. Tendrils and ear corn are common crops, and due to their long growth, most of the works are long scrolls. To complete a piece, the painting may need to be several or even tens of feet long. Whether drawing on the ground or sketching with a portable sketchbook and painting section by section, it is a tiring task. These crops thrive in sunlight, and working in the fields under the scorching sun, with snow-white paper reflecting intense sunlight, makes one sweat profusely and the strong light stings the eyes. Continuously working for hours is unbearable for ordinary people. White description painting uses lines to draw, and the lines must not only be accurate but also demonstrate skill. White description painting must avoid being thin; it should be rich and layered, which requires a solid foundation in shaping. Although white description painting exists independently, it is also the foundation for creating fine brushwork paintings. When painting white description, one must consider the effect after rendering. Often, white description paintings that appear highly detailed may seem summarized and thin after rendering. Therefore, Du Yuhuan's white description paintings undergo repeated refinement and enhancement, striving to consider the final effect after rendering into fine brushwork paintings. Sometimes, elements may be blended in, or reasonable transplants are made to make it more convenient for readers to use.
