Features: Beginners learning flower-and-bird painting usually start by copying, then by sketching from life, and finally by creating. These are the three stages and steps of learning. This book selects five common small animals and explains in detail the steps and process of painting, helping beginners to practice techniques through copying. During the learning process, we must first understand the morphological characteristics of these small animals and have a clear grasp of them. On this basis, we can then learn painting techniques. Through repeated copying and practice, we gradually master some painting principles. At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen sketching experience and composition exercises. Only by applying what we have learned to other situations can we draw other small animals well. Finally, we can skillfully create excellent flower-and-bird paintings.
