As a unique branch of world art, Chinese painting shows an artistic outlook that is completely different from Western art, and also reflects the profound philosophical ideas of "the unity of heaven and man" and "teaching nature" in traditional Chinese culture.
As a visual art, Chinese painting cannot avoid the cultivation of techniques. The highly mature characteristics of modeling determine the tradition that the study of Chinese painting begins with the study of expressive techniques. That is, learn various techniques in the process of copying, and then practice application.
However, for the cultivation and exercise of artistic expression, we must not simply stay indoor copying, but also get close to nature, through observation and reflection, understand the origin of those techniques that we copy, and deeply appreciate the necessity and artistry of traditional techniques.
The ancients said that thick accumulation of hair, sketching is an important image accumulation process for painters. Vivid objects make the painter more emotionally expressive, and the works can better interpret the artistic characteristics of Chinese painting.
