Features: As the saying goes in military strategy, "It is better to cut off one finger than to injure ten." This means it is more effective to launch a decisive blow than to engage in protracted, exhausting battles. Painting is the same—rather than vaguely sketching this and that without focusing, it is better to calm down, study meticulously, summarize the rules, and paint one masterpiece well, thereby applying that knowledge to others. This is the original intention behind compiling this book, "Painting Portraits in Three Hours." By summarizing the rules, simplifying the process, shortening the preliminary drawing time, highlighting key points, and solving difficult problems, this book aims to achieve the goal of painting deeply and intricately within three hours. The plaster sculptures selected in this book are the most frequently used ones in teaching and exams. We will analyze them one by one, summarize the key principles, simplify the complex, and grasp the essence, so that can learn and use them, especially providing direct reference value for students about to take the art college entrance exams.
