The most important thing in painting is talent and hard work, first of all, you have to have the talent, which comes from the genes and a lot of unknown reasons, and this is a very important point, a person is suitable to do that line, can do that line which is really determined by the talent, otherwise there will not be seventy-two rows, rows and rows of talented people this said.
When it comes to painting, if you don't have the talent to rely on hard work alone, you can only be considered a senior painter at most, what is talent? Talent is a person in a particular aspect of the special sensibility, such as Huangshan it, paintings of Huangshan works a lot, why only Huang Binhong's Huangshan become a masterpiece, because his feeling of Huangshan is different, unique.
Painting requires not only a unique feeling, but also a keen sense of observation and skillful technique. The latter two can be acquired through hard work. Like now there are painters who go to great lengths to climb mountains and rivers to sketch, which is the best way to get first-hand information about life, but also to be able to endure loneliness and isolation, many art treasures are produced in loneliness and isolation, Michelangelo is the best example, he painted the Sistine Chapel frescoes, a person lying on the shelf under the 18-meter-high ceiling, painted a full four years and five months, due to the long term As a result of working with his head held high for a long period of time, in the end, his head could not bend down, and the loneliness and isolation of this could not be appreciated by anyone. There are countless examples of this in the art world.
In this modern and ostentatious society, how many people can be unmoved by fame and fortune? The purpose of painting is not to entertain others but to do it for oneself, to express one's own thoughts and to send one's own feelings. This is also the most important knowledge about the efficacy of painting. However, many painters nowadays do not understand this point, and the works they produce are all designed to cater to the public's tastes, and they are all the same, with no new ideas. Since painting is a dialog between the painter and the world, then the painting should not cater to the world's eyes, but to truly express their own ideas, even if such ideas are not accepted for a while, as long as such feelings for the aesthetics of the painting is a kind of innovation and contribution, will not be buried.
Learning to paint is not often thought to become an artist later, learning to paint the most critical is: learning to observe and analyze the ability to cultivate the ability to observe and analyze things as a whole, to cultivate the aesthetic ability to cultivate the ability of image thinking. Image thinking is the driving force of all disciplines, not just pure art. It pervades every aspect of our social life
For example, if you are a writer, the scenes you portray are from life. It is also the reality of the scene that is presented through the written word. When you look at literature, what is presented in your mind are figurative images, just like acting out a movie. People who create inventions also start with an idea and make a sketch to form a preliminary image. It gives a visual impression. The feasibility is determined through the study of drawings, and then put into practice. Senior chef is no exception, when he has a creative idea, usually first sketches and implementation. At the same time image thinking also helps us learn, if there is no image thinking will be rote memorization. Today, as we teach children to memorize ancient poems, we all know that ancient poems are poets' feelings and expressions of mood, and most of them express emotions through scenery. If they are not combined with the exquisiteness depicted in the words, confusion will result. Because many poems and fugitives are the same metrical leveling, memorized more than one will be chaotic string produce jokes.
So painting is the way to cultivate image thinking, without image thinking there is no innovation. It is not just a matter of being able to draw a few paintings, the key is to learn the right way of thinking about observation, that is, to be able to see right. Learn the basic laws within. Seeing right in order to draw right, and at the same time cultivate our art appreciation, broaden our horizons. It is often said that life without a dream is sad, have a dream will have the motivation to realize the beautiful "reality" in our minds.
Painting is a strong technical work, which is not only to good painting skills, but also to have artistic expression. So painting is the most important thing is to have ''creative", because painting is not just rely on the human vision of the scene as a reference to the characters to make a painting, and not according to the existing set to do a painting. But by the painter's own over the real accumulation, precipitation of deep connotation, rich experience in social practice, etc., in the heart for a systematic creative, in the conception of their own hard Zong on the various elements, and rich experience, which is important to the creative inspiration will be like a wellspring of water, a steady stream.
In fact, there are a lot of painters painting the technical gold content is quite high, painting the painting is good impeccable, beautiful and beautiful, but often because of their own experience, connotation, social practice, accumulation of accumulation of insufficient experience on the superficial (thin), and therefore the lack of a good idea, so that ordinary people seem to paintings of quite high skills but no art on the performance of the deep connotations, highlighting the meaning of the painting of the God's intention on the landscape, and the lines as bone, into the wood (thin). Lines such as bone, into the wood (canvas) three points, ink color (oil color ink) such as meat, skin such as natural (natural), no artifice, thick and thin, such as lotus flower like natural unity.
So my answer to the point of view is; painting to be real, not a little of the false and tricky ''creative intention (mood. The connotation of the realm is the most important.
