Features: This book is part of a series on comprehensive painting fundamentals and represents the author's teaching achievements derived from five years of experimental exploration in comprehensive painting instruction. Based on the fundamental knowledge required by students in comprehensive painting, the course is divided into five main parts: sketch composition and expression, ink composition and expression, color composition and expression, material composition and expression, and comprehensive painting creation. Comprehensive painting, as a discipline, broadens the traditional art education focus on observing and modeling forms by incorporating the study of the composition and expression of essential painting elements such as form, color, and texture. Understanding these universal and basic principles of painting helps students, after analyzing and recognizing traditional and contemporary art phenomena, to approach their creative practice with a broader perspective. It provides students with a wider space to develop their individual creative potential.
