Features: Anyone who enters the hall of painting art must learn the basics of sketching, and the practice of sketching plaster figures is an indispensable part. In recent years, the work of beginning painting students can be roughly divided into two types: one has better overall coherence, accurate proportions of forms, and appropriate handling of perspective and, but it can only depict a rough outline and lacks in-depth; the other can express in depth, painting very finely, but it is, flat, and lacks overall generalization. This understanding of seeking expression and individuality leads to falling into and being confined to a distorted path or format, which is extremely harmful! We seek balance—both in the overall environment, there should be in-depth expression of, yet without losing the overall coherence. This is an issue that beginning painting students should pay attention to.
"Observation and Thinking" are closely intertwined and must be throughout the painting process. Learning to constantly make choices, dissection, and skillfully mastering the application of rules is the foundation for accurate observation, depiction, and generalization of objects. This holds an inexpressible significance for painting real human portraits in the future.
