Features: Sketching is a fundamental duty that an oil painter must consistently uphold. It is the best way to get close to nature, experience life, and refine one's art. It is an effective path for painters to directly touch the essence of life with their brushes and hearts. It can be said that without the practice of sketching, the wonderful art category of oil painting would not have come into existence. Through sketching, humanity discovered the laws of painting, uncovered the system of light and color space, and created a complete set of painting knowledge and rules. Throughout history, people have recognized a principle: nature and life are the sources of art. Landscape sketching is an effective way to obtain the vitamin of art at its source. As a painter, one cannot stay away for too long or avoid it altogether, otherwise, they are likely to fall into the pitfalls of paleness, conceptuality, and artificiality. A painter disconnected from nature will die of thirst by the spring. We hope more artists, driven by passion and a thirst for beauty, will walk on this wonderful path, seek the source in the land, and form the Chinese realistic painting school.
