The best time to plant a tree is ten years ago, followed by now.
Learning to draw is the same-the best time is now, the past is unchangeable, and the future will never come. Only now is the time you can really control. If you want to start painting, start while your mind is still alive with time.
If you think you are too late now, look at them.
Nezha directed Jiaozi and began to learn animation after graduating from medical university. Jiang, a best-selling writer, began to study at the age of 60, learned to write at the age of 75, and published four best-selling books at the age of 80; Grandma Moses gave up embroidery at the age of 76 because of arthritis, and held a solo exhibition in new york at the age of 80. Her collection of essays, Life Never Begins Too Late, illustrates this point to us.
If you want to start painting, you can ask yourself these questions.
1. What is the purpose of my painting?
Maybe it's to realize my childhood dream, or maybe it's to improve my aesthetics, or maybe I just paint, leaving my beautiful scenery, beautiful things and all the beautiful things in my heart in my pen.
Everyone has their own reasons. Only by maintaining Do not forget your initiative mind can we last long.
2. What can learning to draw bring me?
When people are satisfied materially, they will naturally pursue spiritual enrichment.
Painting makes us calm and focused. We paint on paper or canvas with a brush. When we draw beautiful scenery and beautiful people one by one, our hearts are calm and focused.
When a work is finished, we will feel happy and have a little sense of accomplishment and pride, because this is what we need in our hearts. Everyone loves beauty, and having one or two interests of self-cultivation and meditation will make you more attractive.
In painting, we can find our true selves, life extends between square inches, and time is never wasted.
3. What should I learn from zero foundation?
It is best to start with sketch, because sketch is the basis of all plastic arts. Painting can't be done overnight. A good work often takes a long time to complete, so you should be patient when drawing. Sketch is the best way to train our basic skills and patience.
Without the practice of sketching, you will lack understanding of space, light and shadow, structure and picture composition, which will easily get out of control in the process of painting and eventually lead to the failure of your work.
4. Observe the importance of ability in painting.
When we draw a landscape painting, we need to observe the changes of light and shadow in nature; When drawing characters, we should understand the differences between men and women, the differences of age groups and the subtle changes of facial expressions; When drawing a still life, you need to carefully find out the difference in the texture of each item.
This requires us to train a pair of eyes that can observe things around us and discover beauty. In this way, the picture will not be mediocre; You can also find more fun in the plain life. And drawing can improve your observation.
5. The importance of sketch to other paintings.
Many people will feel that sketching is boring, and they don't want to learn it at first, or they will lose interest in drawing after learning a few sketching classes. In fact, sketch is as important to painting as words are to English, and it needs solid practice.
We should understand that sketch is one of the factors that determine the success or failure of painting or creation. Oil painting, watercolor painting, mural painting, etc. Are supported by sketches.
Look at the sketch manuscript drawn by the master painter for oil painting. I hope you can understand the importance of sketch practice.
6. Self-study or finding a special training institution can improve faster.
Many times we see good scenery and want to paint; I want to paint when I see a scene that makes me feel; Or I have hoarded many kinds of painting materials, but I don't know how to start.
I found a picture that made me move when I was studying, and I couldn't wait to copy it. After I finished writing, I don't know how to modify it.
When you don't know how to modify a painting; When you have many questions about painting but no one can answer them; When you feel that you are making slow progress. What you lack at this time is a teacher who can always guide you when you draw, point out what is wrong and teach you solutions in time.
The teachers in Chang Gung Studio are so meticulous that small class teaching will not ignore any students.
Self-study will take many detours, because every promotion is to gain new knowledge and experience, and it is after repeated failures. But with teachers, we will avoid repeating the detours that our predecessors have taken.
