What is the most important thing in painting?

The most important thing in painting is talent and diligence. First of all, you must have this talent. This talent comes from heredity and there are many unknown reasons. Moreover, this is a very important point. It is really a natural decision that a person is suitable for that line and can do that line. Otherwise, there won't be 72 lines, and there won't be a scholar.

When it comes to painting, if you don't have this talent, you can only be a senior painter at most. What is talent? Talent is a person's special sensibility in a certain aspect, such as Huangshan Mountain. There are many paintings of Huangshan Mountain. Why only Huang's "Huangshan" became a swan song is because his feelings for Huangshan are unique and unique.

Painting requires not only unique feelings, but also keen observation and skillful skills. The latter two can be obtained through the efforts of the day after tomorrow. For example, some painters nowadays take the trouble to climb mountains and wade to sketch, which is the best way to get first-hand information about life, but they must also be able to withstand loneliness and loneliness. Many artistic treasures are produced in loneliness, and Michelangelo is the best example. He painted the murals of the Sistine Chapel, lying alone on the shelf under the ceiling of 18 meters high, and painted for four years and five months. Because of his long work, he finally worked hard. There are countless examples of this in the art world.

In this grandiose modern society, how many people can be unmoved by fame and fortune? The purpose of painting is not to entertain others, but to express your thoughts and feelings about yourself. This is also the most important cognition of the efficacy of painting. But now many painters don't understand this, and the works they draw are all to cater to the tastes of the public, and they are the same and have no new ideas. Since painting is a dialogue between the painter and the world, painting should not cater to the secular vision, but should truly express its own ideas, even if such ideas are not accepted for a while, as long as such feelings are an innovation and contribution to aesthetics and painting, they will not be buried.

Learning to paint is not what most people think you can become an artist in the future. The key to learning painting is to learn the ability to observe and analyze things, cultivate the ability to observe and analyze things as a whole, cultivate aesthetic ability and cultivate the ability to think in images. Thinking in images is the driving force of all disciplines, not only pure art, but also permeates all aspects of our social life.

For example, if you are a writer, all the scenes you describe come from life. What is presented through words is also a real scene. When you read a literary work, you can see concrete pictures in your mind, just like acting in a movie. Inventors also have the idea of sketching first, forming the prototype of the initial image. Can give people an intuitive feeling. Determine the feasibility through the study of drawings, and then put it into practice. A senior chef is no exception. When he has a creative idea, he usually draws a sketch first and then implements it. At the same time, thinking in images is also helpful to our study. Without thinking in images, we will learn by rote. Today, like teaching children to recite ancient poems, we all know that ancient poems are inspired by poets, expressing artistic conception, and most of them are lyrical by borrowing scenery. If you don't combine the exquisiteness described in the article, it will cause confusion. Because many poems have the same rhyme, if you recite too much, you will make jokes.

So painting is the only way to cultivate thinking in images. Without thinking in images, there is no innovation. It's not just as simple as drawing a few pictures. The key is to learn to observe and think correctly, that is, to be able to see correctly. Learn the basic internal laws. Only when you see it correctly can you draw it correctly, and at the same time, you have cultivated your own artistic appreciation ability and broadened your horizons. People often say that life without dreams is sad, and dreams will have the motivation to realize the beautiful "reality" in our minds.

Painting is a highly skilled technical activity, which is not only a good painting skill, but also an artistic expression. Therefore, the most important thing in painting is to be creative, because painting is not based on human vision as a reference for scenery and people, nor on the present. Instead, artists need to accumulate their own reality, precipitate profound connotations and rich social practical experience, create systematically in their hearts, and rely on all the elements mentioned in their own excellent traditions and rich experience in their ideas, so that this important creative inspiration will come like a spring.

In fact, there are many painters who paint with high technical content and are impeccable and beautiful, but they often lack a good idea because of their own experience, connotation, social practice and superficial experience (thin), which makes ordinary people feel that high-skilled paintings have no deep connotation of art and cannot highlight the similarities and lines of art.

So my answer is: what the painter wants is truth, the connotation of creative intention (artistic conception. Realm) is the most important.
