Features: The creation of Chinese landscape painting requires "learning from nature and expressing the heart," emphasizing the perfect combination of objective scenes from the world and subjective thoughts and emotions, where scenery inspires emotions and scenes blend harmoniously. In fact, whether it is sketching or quick drawing, a deep understanding and meticulous observation of the depicted subjects are essential. One must have passion, genuine love, reverence, and a strong desire for expression to discover and create beauty in sketches. In sketching, the ability to generalize, concentrate, process, and select, as well as techniques like adding scenery, shifting perspectives, using various methods to supplement light ink or light colors, and the subsequent freehand drawing after "observing and memorizing with the mind," are all carried out based on emotional connection with the seen scenes. Only by blending one's thoughts with the scenery and depicting the subject with deep emotion can the essence of the scenery be captured.
