Works:

Liu Xiaodong was born in Jinzhou City, Liaoning Province in 1963. He graduated from the Oil Painting Department of the Central Academy of Fine Arts in 1988. Going to school, painting, and teaching, Liu Xiaodong's life was simple but rich. In life, Liu Xiaodong considered himself a realist, so he believed that art should be realism, and he always respected reality.

Drawing, in a broad sense, refers to all monochromatic paintings and originated from the cultivation of Western modeling abilities. Sketching in a narrow sense refers specifically to the painting training process used to learn art skills, explore modeling rules, and develop professional habits.

Sketch

In short, it is a monochrome painting. But not necessarily. After all, sketching covers and involves too many things and solves too many problems. The sketching process is a comprehensive thinking activity that requires consideration of many issues at the same time. Today, all majors in art academies take it as a basic course. Although the emphasis of each major is different, oil painting emphasizes volume and tone, Chinese painting emphasizes lines, printmaking and design emphasize structure, etc.; but the essence of sketching is almost the same. At the same time, sketching, as an independent art type, has its own unique artistic value. Of course, there are not many professional sketching artists, and most of them are part-timers. For example, the few sketches of the masters are already worth a lot of money. , you don’t have to distinguish whether it is a basic sketch or an independent work of art. Even though these sketches may appear to be only a few strokes, the skills behind them are also very impressive. Sometimes a random undulating and curved line reflects the artist's deep understanding and understanding of form, structure, characteristics, rhythm, charm, and art history. Master
