Is gouache easy to learn?

Question 1: Is gouache easy to learn? Not necessarily, you can learn gouache at the same time, but I suggest you learn some basic knowledge of sketch first, such as virtual reality, light and shade changes and so on. If you learn, it will take 1-3 months.

Question 2: Which is easier to learn, oil painting or gouache? Let's talk about the difference between oil painting and gouache:

1. pigments: oil-soluble pigments for oil painting and water-soluble pigments for gouache painting. The latter is relatively easy to master in performance.

2. Base materials: canvas for oil painting and gouache paper. The latter needs almost no treatment, while the former needs to do "foundation" and the process is relatively complicated.

3. Painting: Oil painting starts from dark tones, gradually draws to bright tones, and finally finishes. Gouache painting starts from the middle tone and draws to both ends (bright tone and dark tone) respectively until it is completed. In addition, oil painting can be layered to increase the sense of weight, while gouache painting should not be repeated, and the picture is brighter.

Conclusion: Although colors and blocks are used to shape the image, gouache is easier to use and more economical than oil painting. Therefore, it is suggested to start with gouache painting, exercise your grasp of color and block surface, and then turn to oil painting after having some experience. I think it will get twice the result with half the effort.

Supplement: don't think that learning gouache is equivalent to painting oil paintings; Don't think that you can't learn oil painting after learning gouache!

Question 3: Is gouache difficult to learn? Huh? It is not difficult to divide gouache into many factions. Finding a good teacher will benefit you a lot. Before you study, visit the studio as much as possible until you find your favorite style. There is no need to separate copying from sketching. It is also possible to recommend more teachers you like.

Question 4: Is gouache easy to learn by self-study? It's up to you to learn.

Question 5: Is there a way out for gouache? Painting is an unpopular major in Europe and America, and the annual salary of undergraduates majoring in painting ranks the lowest among all majors after graduation. Painters are almost like street vagrants, and it is difficult to find a girlfriend. Thousands of China painters came to new york, but most of them lost hope except a few people such as Gu Wenda and Bing Xu. Even Chen Danqing, an outstanding talent, struggled in new york for twenty or thirty years, but failed to integrate into the local mainstream art circle. It is unpredictable who will win the roulette in the international casino. Physical fitness, personality, talent, knowledge, skills, diligence, communication, support and other conventional factors can not guarantee your success in the secular level. China is an undergraduate majoring in fine arts, with a figure of about 200,000. The number of people who dream of becoming painters may exceed 5 to 10 times this number. Around the Xi 'an Academy of Fine Arts where I live, there are as many as 65,438+ten thousand employees who eat this bowl of art.. This situation is similar in Tianjin, Hangzhou, Chongqing and Shenyang, and there should be more in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. From a professional point of view, this is obviously absurd. Is this against everyone learning to draw? No, understanding art through painting can cultivate the quality of a modern person; As for being a painter, that's another matter. In the highly competitive painting world, you may get ahead if you lose your life. A harsh fact is that many teachers of the Academy of Fine Arts who teach painting have been painting all their lives, and what is art has not even entered the door.

Painting art is the product of wealth, even the patent of the upper class after the Six Dynasties. Zhang Yanyuan believes that outstanding painters since ancient times are just dignitaries and hermits, and the poor are not qualified to be shortlisted. Zhang Yanyuan's ancestors were five generations of officials and three generations of prime ministers. They all loved painting and calligraphy, and their collection of painting and calligraphy was extremely rich. His assertion is based on facts. For example, Gu Kaizhi was an adviser to the emperor, and his position was equivalent to that of Minister of Propaganda Department of the CPC. Yan, Han Ye, Wei Jiang, Wang Wei equals Gu Kaizhi. This situation has not fundamentally changed since the Tang Dynasty. Gu and Huang Quan were court painters in the Five Dynasties. In the Song Dynasty, Guo was the president of imperial academy, equivalent to the president of the National Academy of Painting. Li Guan to the assistant minister of the government is a six-product official. Zhao Meng of the Yuan Dynasty was a descendant of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, and was made a duke by Yuan Renzong. Huang used to work in the central censorate; Wang Mengguan went to Zhou Zhiting in Tai 'an, equivalent to the director of Shandong Provincial Construction Committee now; Ni Yunlin is a rich man; Hermit Zhenwu, who lives by divination, is the lowest among the four Yuan families. On the surface, the Eight Eccentrics in Yangzhou in Qing Dynasty lived by selling paintings, but in fact they were all people with status. Except for Li Wei and Li Wei, who are county magistrates, the rest are local celebrities, claiming to be superior. In the mid-20th century, art was emphasized to serve workers and farmers. Historians rummaged through the history books, and finally found Wang Mian who spared cattle, and was commended and recommended as an advanced representative of ancient peasant painters. As we all know, Wang Mian was addicted to being an official since he was a child. He took part in the imperial examinations many times, and then went to Beijing and Thailand. Taibuhua is the head of the secretary's supervisor, and his position is equivalent to the current Minister of Culture. Taibuhua once recommended him to be an official in his own yamen, where there is the post of director of calligraphy and painting appraisal and inspection, which is equivalent to the curator of the National Art Museum. Yuan Ming rose and fell, and Zhu Yuanzhang named Wang Mian a counselor to join the army, both of whom were seven county magistrates. In short, most ancient painters did not take painting as their profession; Even if they sell paintings for a living, they all have official backgrounds or resumes famous for imperial examinations, such as Tang Yin and Jinnong.

Students from poor families are advised not to go to the Academy of Fine Arts, not to dream of becoming painters, and to enter the casino of painting if they have no extraordinary interest and ability. The investment in training an undergraduate in the Academy of Fine Arts is nearly 654.38+10,000 yuan, which is less than one thousandth of that of becoming a painter after graduation. Taking being a painter as a career dream, it is better to go to normal schools, engineering schools and agricultural colleges to learn some survival skills.

Question 6: What should a novice gouache pay attention to? Gouache beginners should pay attention to:

1, know the brush, gouache choose the right brush.

Gouache: elastic, large water capacity, suitable for wet painting and dry painting.

Watercolor pen: the wool is soft and elastic, with large water capacity, which is most suitable for wet painting.

Oil painting pen: the hair is hard and elastic, and dry coating and thicker color are better.

Shading pen: The pen tip has large area, good elasticity and large water capacity, and is used to smear large areas of colors.

Cosmetic pen: fine hair, suitable for smooth and delicate places.

Brush, leaf pen: the tip is sharp and thin, which is better for hooking lines or expressing small details.

Note: after painting, wash the pen with water, squeeze out the water and put it into the pen holder or pen container, so as to maintain the elasticity and hairiness of the pen and prolong its life.

2. Choose the right drawing paper.

Gouache paper: gouache paper. It is thicker, has better performance and is easy to scrub. Good gouache paper.

Water-colored paper: The paper is tough, washable and rubbing-resistant, easy to render, easy to drag thick, colorful after coloring, and the color is basically unchanged. It is an ideal gouache paper.

Lead drawing paper: also known as sketch paper, with rough surface and average performance, it is mainly used for gouache basic training. It is obvious. If the moisture is not properly controlled, the color will change, and the number of alterations should not be too much.

Oil painting paper: the paper is thick, with a sense of cloth, which is more suitable for dry painting. The color is thicker, and the color changes little from wet to dry, just like the feeling of oil painting.

3. Inherent color, light source color, ambient color, primary color, intermediate color, composite color and complementary color. As beginners, these are compulsory courses.

(1) Inherent color: it is the color that an object presents under normal browsing (such as sunlight and illumination), and it is the inherent color of the object itself. Strictly speaking, inherent color is only a hypothetical concept, because people can only see objects and distinguish colors through sunlight and light, but the colors they see at this time have been influenced by light. Because of the constant change of light and the different environment of objects, it is almost impossible for us to see positive inner colors.

(2) Color of light source: The color of the light-receiving part of the object changes due to light irradiation. Light is the premise of producing the color of light source. There are two main types of light sources: warm light (sunlight, fire, red light, etc.). ) and cold light (skylight, fluorescence, blue light, etc. Due to the influence of warm light, the color of the light-receiving part of the object is warmer. On the contrary, the color of the light-receiving part of the object is cold, and the color of the light-receiving part of the object is usually the middle color between the light source color and the inherent color.

(3) Environmental color: The color of the environment around the object changes due to the reflection of light. It also means that an object is affected by the surrounding colors, resulting in complex color changes. Ambient color is mainly reflected in the dark part of the object. Although the ambient color is not as strong as the light source color, it can cause complex color changes and almost change the inherent color.

The stronger the surrounding color is exposed to light, the greater the environmental color change, and the smaller the change. In addition to the ambient color, the dark part of the object also has the complementary color produced by comparing with the bright part color.

(4) Primary colors: Also known as primary colors, they cannot be mixed with any other colors, while other colors are mixed with these three primary colors in different proportions.

The primary colors are magenta, lemon yellow and lake blue.

(5) Intermediate color: also known as secondary color, it is the color obtained by adding two original hues.

Intermediate colors: orange, green and purple. Namely: red+war = autumn, yellow+blue = green, blue+red = purple.

If any two primary colors are added in a certain proportion, different oranges, greens and purples can be obtained.

(6) Composite color: also known as the third color, it is formed by adding any two intermediate colors, or by adding one primary color and other colors. It can also be said that it is a superposition of more than three colors.

For example: red+green (blue+yellow) = composite color, yellow+purple (red+blue) = composite color, blue+orange (red+yellow) = orange, or: orange+green, green+purple, orange+purple, etc.

(7) Complementary colors: A primary color and its corresponding intermediate color are complementary, including red and green, Rayna Sue, blue and orange.

By arranging these six standard colors into six color rings in sequence, we can see their complementary relationship, and the complementary color is the strongest contrast among all colors.

Question 7: Why do beginners draw 200 points of gouache first? I don't know who told you, but it's better to learn gouache first. At least I don't think so. What painting do you want to learn? If you want to learn oil painting, you should learn basic skills first, starting with sketching. A solid foundation is very helpful for later study. If you study Chinese painting and meticulous painting, learn to draw lines first. If you like freehand brushwork, you must practice your handwriting well. Qi Baishi, you should know that he hasn't learned any gouache. And Wu Changshuo ... It can be seen that you don't have to learn gouache to learn other paintings. But Comrade Liu Dawei is good at sketching, gouache, watercolor, oil painting and Chinese painting ... and he has made great achievements. Freehand brushwork, you must practice your handwriting. This is a tradition in China, "painting with books". However, there are exceptions, such as Comrade Zhou Shaohua, whose handwriting is not so good, but his paintings are "freehand".

Question 8: Do you have to have an art foundation to learn gouache? Do I have to learn sketching? It is suggested that it will be easier to draw gouache after learning sketch, because the bright part, dark part, light-dark boundary, reflection and projection should also be considered when drawing gouache. These are all sketching knowledge-Yunnan Chiyu Studio.

Question 9: Is gouache suitable for young people to learn? Gouache is suitable for people of any age to draw. Of course, you can take gouache as the basic stage of oil painting. Now there are many gouache paintings that are very good.

Question 10: How to learn gouache? Is the one on the first floor irrelevant?

I'm also studying art and sketching still life now. The teacher said that if you want to draw gouache well, you must master the relationship between light and shade in still life sketch. It is strongly suggested that if you have time and want to learn well, you should practice more and master still life sketch. In fact, the art of painting is based on my own observation and summary, not the teacher's preaching. You should first look at how others draw, try according to other people's methods, and then ask the teacher if you can't draw any more, and let him tell you where you drew right and wrong. The teacher is mainly to prevent us from going astray in the process of painting. Only when they see our terrible things can they guide us. The teacher didn't come to guide until halfway through the painting, so you have to get used to it.
