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 common flowers and vegetables, providing detailed explanations of the painting steps and process to help beginners practice techniques through copying. During the learning process, we must first understand the shapes and characteristics of these flowers and vegetables, making sure we have a clear grasp of them. Based on this foundation, 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. By applying what we have learned to other flowers and vegetables, we can eventually paint with ease and create excellent flower-and-bird paintings.
