Features: In this series, the main focus is on introducing the types of painting works, including portraiture, landscape painting, etc. It covers the materials and media used in painting, as well as the techniques and principles behind them. The reality presented to the audience by a painting is merely a complete illusion. In fact, the images depicted in paintings not only lose the volume they should have in real life but also erase many of the original features of the subject being portrayed. Looking back at the history of art, traditional painting has always aimed to imitate reality. Therefore, its evolution has been largely a product of the advancements in creative techniques by different painters. Before the invention of cameras, for painters, recreating the texture of each part of the subject was quite important. This tradition of academic painting has continued to this day.
