Features: The artistic expression of painting is a product where objective objects are influenced by subjective understanding, inevitably permeating personal consciousness and opinions. Watercolor sketches are no exception, and their learning methods and training models naturally vary from person to person. From the perspective of sketching training, this book discusses some experiences and insights on observation and expression in painting, representing the author's personal views and serving as a reference for friends. The writing of this book could not cover everything comprehensively, with a focus on the feelings and realizations gathered over the past two decades from the author's painting practice. Whether driven by playful self-entertainment or teaching responsibilities, the author has continued to paint despite knowing that watercolor paintings are not easily preserved.
