Features: There is an inseparable relationship between humans and nature. Nature is filled with infinite vitality and mysterious power, serving as the eternal symbol of all life. The grandeur of mountains and wilds, the changes of the atmosphere, the diverse vegetation and creatures, the brilliant colors under the sun, villages, and rivers—all are eternal themes in landscape painting. You can linger in the hazy and ethereal atmosphere, or roam between the forms, shadows, and colors. You can be captivated by the reflections of water waves and clouds, or immerse yourself in the fields and villages. Whether it's poetic and artistic expression or the fusion of scenery and emotion, both are ways to describe a great landscape painting. However, whether you can convey this atmosphere in a landscape painting depends on your ability to apply techniques and knowledge of form, shape, color, space, and other descriptive methods in your regular sketches and imaginative drawings. I believe this skill can be developed through several approaches. This book provides guidance on color landscape painting for art college entrance exams, comprehensively covering topics such as subject selection and composition, color and observation, color expression and shaping, technical issues, and key points for imaginative drawing.
