Gong Dai's brush sketch Oil painting and sketch Example 1: monochromatic light and shade thin coating As you can see from the four examples below, my definition of "sketched" differs from the dictionary definition, which is "a sketch with rough Outlines and no details", while mine is "a sketch with the necessary details that accurately delineate the outline". I pay a lot of attention to precision and detail when making Outlines. A manuscript can be drawn vividly, naturally and accurately. There is no basis for the claim that attention to the accuracy of length, shape, and color will affect the vividness of the brushstrokes. The more accurate the initial drawing, the more successful the work will be. But this simple truth is often forgotten or ignored. When I was a student painting life-size human bodies, I encountered all kinds of complicated problems and made all kinds of mistakes. Later, I learned that a painting can not be done in a single stroke, but must be done brushstroke by brushstroke, and the best brushstroke should start from the most obvious light and shade relationship, shape and color of the object. Every object always has the darkest dark, light, shadow or a geometric color area. I draw these parts first because they are the most obvious and easy to draw accurately. The more accurate parts you start with, the easier it will be to deal with the difficult parts that are not easy to master. This demonstration starts with multiple layers of contouring, using a transparent monochrome thin paint method. Start by applying a middle tone of ripe brown and ivory black thinned with turpentine to the canvas. Then draw down all the light and dark tones of the subject, adding more turpentine for the lighter tones and less for the darker tones. The result is a drawing that is close to monochrome, followed by a little work and almost no color. This demonstration will help beginners to learn to use tonal layers and give them a sense of how to use a pen. This method of drafting has some minor drawbacks. It's not convenient to draw small pictures. Avoid using this method for paintings less than one-third the size of a person (this demonstration piece is 20x30 inches). In addition, the procedure is cumbersome and tedious to draw.
