Or oil painting? I'm a student of the Academy of Fine Arts, but this semester we're going to take Chinese painting and oil painting as elective courses. Do you think Chinese painting is more marketable or more promising than oil painting? Please learn Chinese painting from May 22nd, 2009. There are so many students studying oil painting now that it is meaningless unless they master it. If Chinese painting is the traditional culture of China, there may be opportunities to spread this culture abroad in the future. And if you learn Chinese painting, you'd better learn freehand brushwork. Learning meticulous painting is too boring. Not only can it be painted as a painting, it is not creative, and it is too slow. You have to draw repeatedly with two pens in your hand. I studied meticulous painting for a few days before and almost collapsed. If you are an art teacher, students studying freehand brushwork in Chinese painting may ask more questions: Are you an art student, too? It seems that you are also an expert in this field. Answer: I only know a little. If there are idiots around me, I will learn these things: thank you. Other answers (1) smile like a flower, grade six, May 22, 2009.
