Features: The title "Autumn Harvest" literally depicts the abundance of autumn fruits and vegetables and the liveliness of insects, which can also be referred to as vegetable and fruit insect paintings in fine brushwork. When vegetable and fruit insect paintings originated is still uncertain in the thousands of years of art history. From the rock paintings and murals left over from ancient times to the bronze vessels of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, we can faintly see hunters, cattle and horses, grains, vegetables, insects, and fish. If this is indeed China's oldest vegetable and fruit insect paintings, there is no reason to doubt it. This book is the "Fine Brushwork Line Drawing Flower Painting Collection" series' Autumn Harvest volume, introducing the techniques of painting autumn fruits and vegetables in fine brushwork through a combination of text and illustrations, and providing some paintings for readers to reference. The book is divided into sections on fine brushwork line drawing of vegetables and fruits, an overview of grass and insects, step-by-step illustrations, brush and ink techniques, the materials and usage of fine brushwork vegetables and insects (paper, ink, brush, and inkstone), and the fine brushwork line drawing Autumn Harvest painting collection.
