Below is an art student who is desperate for gouache painting

Your problem is that you have gouache drawing, and you don't have a sketch relationship, and since you say beginners, it's normal, and the next time you draw well, just pay more attention to the sketch relationship.

Every time you paint a color, it is recommended to use a large gouache to establish the relationship between the picture first, and then use a small pen to depict it in detail, so that you will slowly improve.

If you can't see the sketch well, just squint your eyes and see it much more clearly.

It was the same when I first started, fruit.

First draw the dark side (lining color + light source color + original color of the fruit + complementary color of the primary color) and then draw the light side (primary color of the fruit + light source color + white).

Then draw the gray side (you can try to combine the dark side and the bright side, and adjust it according to the actual situation) and finally draw the reflection.

This is the easiest way to draw, four strokes are enough.

To be realistic, there are actually many layers of gray surface, and you probably can't draw it now, so take your time.

Don't think gouache is too difficult, anyway, I started to hate gouache and said, try it, this method works very well

The interlining is a large piece, first lay the dark side, pay attention to the space, a piece of interlining also has different colors, dark or light.

In fact, the interlining cloth is also dark gray and bright, and it is enough to spread large pieces of the same.

1. Easels and artboards. It is better to have a retractable height adjustment for the easel, and the artboard is generally four open sizes.

2. Tape or thumbtack. It is used to fix the drawing paper and facilitate painting.

Open, 8 boiled gouache paper, ordinary sketch paper can also be used.

4. Gouache paint and pigment box. Now most of them are colored, colored, etc., with corresponding pigment boxes.

4. Color palette. It's a white piece of plastic.

5. Gouache brushes. One set is 12 models, which can also be supplemented with brushes, fan pens and pencils.

7. Buckets and rags. The foldable bucket is easy to carry. The rag should be cotton that absorbs water.

8. Painting stool. Canvas fishing benches are more comfortable.

9. Watering cans. It is used to moisten the pigment to prevent dryness and cracking.

Watercolor painting is significantly different from other paintings. Nowadays, with the development of science and technology, the number of painting materials has increased, and the pigments that use water as thinner materials have increased gouache, acrylic, transparent watercolor, etc. In this way, we have to redefine the concept of watercolor painting.

Defined from the characteristics of watercolor painting, watercolor painting does not only refer to the use of water to mix pigments, watercolor painting has its own rich connotation and a set of techniques that are completely different from other types of painting.

Because modern watercolor not only uses water color, but also uses water pink, acrylic, Chinese painting color, transparent water color, and even oil painting color, oil painting hand, paint, salt, sand and stone, etc., there are also several pigments mixed use. In short, the commonality of each stage of the development of watercolor painting is that the rhythm, relationship, and color of the whole picture are reflected through the amount of water content, and the picture effect is achieved through the control of water.

1. Selection of pigments.

The pigment of moisture is divided into bottled and tin tube two kinds, there are more and more pigments on the market at present, and the new pigments are mostly gray with various colors, which has brought great help to the candidates for the examination, and students should learn to use some ready-made gray to paint, which can make the color of the picture more rich and changeable, and deepen the three-dimensional sense. To make the picture more beautiful, I recommend that students use more than 40 colors to paint. In this way, you can better adapt to the art college entrance examination and get a high score in the school examination.

Gouache paper of choice.

Generally, the gouache paper sold on the market has a more obvious texture, and the paper is thin and soft, and the general practice used for gouache sketching is sufficient. However, there is not much difference between exam paper and sketch paper, and it is usually enough to use sketch paper in the pre-exam sketch practice.

3. How to choose gouache.

Gouache is divided into sheep's hair, wolf's pen, mink brush, nylon pen and other types, sheep's hair pen is soft, elasticity is slightly poor, mink brush has poor water absorption, nylon pen is harder, its water absorption is worse, wolf hair pen hair is soft and hard, elastic, water content is moderate, suitable for beginners to use, better control. You can slowly hone the student's feel. It enables students to make progress slowly and achieve good results in the college entrance examination.

4. The use of palette boxes.

The color arrangement order is generally distributed from cold to warm or light to dark, usually using a pigment box with a soft plastic lid. This ensures that the pigment does not dry out quickly and retains the moisture of the pigment.

Sketching practice is a comprehensive process of feeling-understanding-one-to-one representation, which has its own special rules and scientifically rigorous methods and steps. Therefore, the ability to follow its rules and regulations to guide the sketching assignment in an orderly manner will be crucial to the effectiveness of learning. The method and steps of sketching are composed of the following parts: observation, composition, outline, shaping the relationship, in-depth depiction, and finishing the work.

In the sketching training of still life, there are not only all kinds of porcelain, stainless steel products, gold, silver and copper and other metal utensils with smooth texture, but also clay pots, bamboo and wood products with rough surfaces, as well as all kinds of vegetables and fruits with transparent colors, soft interlinings, furs, etc., all of which form their own inherent colors due to different textures, different absorption and reflection of light, and also form a unique color relationship due to the influence of light source color and environmental color. Carefully analyze the characteristics of various objects and look for their commonalities, so that their texture can be better expressed.

The fan-shaped pen is mainly made of pig bristles, which is a new type of special oil brush, with sparse bristles and a flat fan-shaped, which is used for swiping and brushing in wet painting, or to soften overly distinct outlines. This type of pen is often used for thin drawing. The benefits of a fan-shaped pen are numerous, but the disadvantages are also obvious.

It is easy to make the brushstrokes of the picture very blurry. It's just no brushstrokes. But it's easy to have a brushstroke, just cut the fan-shaped pen into a square with brushstrokes.

The gouache pendulum surface is better, and the fan-shaped pen can generally sweep the strokes flat, which is the main difference, and the fan-shaped strokes are more natural. The color can be adjusted very raw, and it is not necessary to use it too much with other pens.

Sketchpad... I suggest you use the tap one.

Easel color pen. Preferably Van Gogh's hairs. Because it's easier for novices to master. And the soft and hard elasticity is moderate, easy to use. It's better to use a single number, a bucket, and the kind with a compartment in the middle.

Palette rags, preferably cotton towels that you have used, are more absorbent pigments, and if you are a beginner, use Wencui. Or of Matou. If you learn well, use Mary's.

Mary's was good. There's a better one, but it's not necessary. The color comes according to your preference, generally using plain blue, ultramarine, cobalt blue, and lake blue.

Crimson, rose, red, vermilion... Orange, orange, earthy, medium, light yellow, lemon yellow. Olive green, dark green, dark green, emerald green, grass green, yellow green...

Violet.. Black. White..

In general, white is used a lot. Buy more.

Scraper, for picking pigments.

Painting box, containing paint.

I'm a beginner, and after reading your answers, it's very helpful.

Preparation materials: a box of gouache paint, a few pieces of gouache paper, and a gouache brush is generally enough.

Mastery skills: There are teachers and teachers from the basics of learning, there is no sign up to buy a book of basic gouache painting methods to copy the book, master the basic brushwork and composition, and then come to still life sketching, in short, to practice more.

Just one suggestion, you find a teacher to take you to get started, especially to learn art, sometimes a teacher's suggestion is that you have been drawing for three months to summarize. All the words I have to tell you here are empty words.
