Sketching is the most direct and effective learning method, whether during the training of college entrance examination for fine arts or when you are admitted to a university for further study in painting. Moreover, art colleges and universities pay more attention to the role of sketch in learning art!

The endless changes in nature provide unlimited development space for artistic creation, and conceptual painting can avoid contact with natural images. The depth and vastness of the objective world are incomparable to photos. The directness of sketch can touch the nerves and feelings of artists and arouse their interest in writing. Without direct sensitivity, the works will lack vividness, and the works created will not impress others. In the process of pursuing sketching, externalization has different influences on each painter, and their artistic forms are also different. It is sketch that enriches our style.

Sketch allows us to directly contact the beautiful scenery, nature and our hearts, and then turn all this into inspiration and show it on the drawing paper through brush strokes. There are a thousand Hamlets in the hearts of a thousand people. In the process of sketching, facing the same scenery, we can get close to nature and return to the truth, so as to dig out our own "Hamlet", portray it in our hearts and emerge in the painting.

The goals of sketch are: basic sketch requires students to further consolidate the application and mastery of color techniques on the original basis, collect artistic design elements, master landscape sketch and architectural sketch techniques, and complete professional sketch creation; Master the photography techniques of people, scenery and environment.
