Features: Sketching is a fundamental duty that an oil painter must consistently uphold. It is the best way to connect with nature, experience life, and refine artistic skills. It is an effective path for painters to directly touch the essence of life with their brushes and hearts. It can be said that without the practice of sketching, the wonderful art category of oil painting would not have been created. Through sketching, humanity discovered the laws of painting, the light and color spatial system, and created a complete system of painting knowledge and rules. Regardless of the past or present, people universally recognize a principle: nature and life are the sources of art. Landscape sketching is an effective way to obtain the vitamin of art at its source. As a painter, one cannot stay away from it for too long or avoid it altogether, otherwise, they will inevitably fall into drawbacks such as paleness, conceptualization, and artificiality. A painter disconnected from nature will die of thirst by the spring. We hope more artists, with passion and a thirst for beauty, will walk this wonderful path, seeking the source in the land, and forming the realistic painting school of China.
