Features: This book teaches a painting method that can be learned in just 20 days, based on the evaluation criteria for art students in higher art institutions. The criteria include creating still-life paintings on a flat surface using realistic techniques, with complete composition, rich colors, lively brushwork, and rigorous modeling. The book also analyzes a student's 20-day journey from being unable to paint gouache to becoming proficient, using their artwork as a teaching tool. It emphasizes practicality and hands-on practice, avoiding dry theoretical explanations, and integrates theory into daily technical exercises. The teaching is structured in a daily lesson-and-practice format, progressing from simple to complex.
