My colors are so old and powdered

Too pink is caused by too much white and not strong contrast in the picture. Painting gouache does not necessarily add white powder to every color, but boldly use some solid colors and dark colors to open up the difference between brightness and purity of colors. Paint color bold to try more and accumulate more experience of failure, as long as there is a breakthrough, progress will be very fast, come on!

Powder means that there is no sense of weight, there is no strong contrast relationship, the first thing to paint is to find out the deepest place and the shallowest place in the picture, boldly draw the deepest place, you can use more solid colors, and use the contrast of brightness and purity of color to enrich the picture. Don't use too much white, generally white is used more in bright places or brighter places. You can try to draw a monochrome painting.

Good luck with your exams!

Don't keep stirring around the palette when filling in the colors, there are uneven colors that are very rich (moderate) There are a lot of gray colors on the market now, but don't rely too much on those colors.

Don't mix too much in color, sometimes just mix it casually, the tone is more vivid, and in addition to white, like ochre, brown don't add too much messy mixing.

Two possibilities:1The relationship between warm and cold colors is incorrect.

2.Too much white.

Don't add too much white, don't mix the colors, and distinguish between cold and warm, light and dark.

Use a solid color to see, maybe the effect will be better.

With solid colors, don't overdo it, don't hesitate!

The color feels like it's divided, or the picture is heavy, and the color is not in place, it should be.

That's a lot, look at what others have drawn, and compare relevant information.

The reasons why pastel paintings are rarely painted are as follows:

Toner is similar in nature to charcoal or carbon strips. It is relatively easy to control, but it is not suitable for in-depth depiction, and the age ring is easy to fade and should not be preserved. Chinese painting is self-painting, and oil painting is Western painting, both of which require strong basic skills to show a person's level.

At the same time, toner is now mostly used in the early stage of sketching, and then it is used with pencil or charcoal instead of depiction.

The pigment of pastel painting is pastel, and as the name suggests, it is a type of chalk with color. But don't think it's the kind of colored chalk we used to use in class, although the two sometimes have the same name, but the nature is completely different. A pastel brush is a type of dry chalk made entirely from pigment powder, while the most abundant amount of colored chalk used by teachers for teaching is gypsum powder.

Unlike other color paintings, pastel paintings do not require additional color grading. Pastel painting is directly on the picture, directly on the picture to mix colors, using the color of the pastel itself and the cross change of brushstrokes to produce rich tones. You can draw a picture with a wide range of tones.

Pastel painting is simple to draw, and here it means.

There is no need to prepare additional paints, or even sharpen the pen, and the creation location is even more arbitrary, such as wooden panels, walls, and floors. Of course, it is best to choose a more grainy drawing paper. That way it's easier to color, after all, toner doesn't bond as well as other pigments.

The brushstrokes are so light that they even fall off when they are blown. Lead.

Therefore, the preservation of pastel works is extremely important, and even the fixing liquid we commonly use is not very useful, less can not be fixed and more will melt the toner, so it is best to frame it in the frame immediately after painting. In our country, pastel painting is not very important, and in the past, most people in the art world classified it as a small painting. Even ordinary people come into contact with pastel paintings, through some wandering artists, created on the ground.

The Little Mermaid (picture book) by Christian Birmingham

Christian Birmingham is a well-known British children's illustrator who graduated from the Exeter School of Art and Design in 1991 and his work is mainly fairy tale picture books, drawn in chalk and pencil.

The figure is not very clear, it should feel like a toner.

Pastel: French and English name pastel, ** in Italian means "paste-like object", indicating the properties of the material. pastel is also translated as "pastel painting" and "chalk painting" in Chinese, colored pastel brush, and Taiwanese translation is "pastel painting".

As the name suggests, it is a type of painting with color. It is not gouache, but a dry, special colored chalk. Pastel painting is painted on grainy paper or cloth, and the colors are mixed directly on the screen, using the pastel covering and the interlacing of brushstrokes to produce rich tones.

The tools used to create pastel are made up of pastels of different colors and purposes. Colors are simply drawn on paper or on a drawing board, and the whole process is done quickly and quickly, i.e. what is painted is what the person observes, without the need to prepare paint, and without changing the color for some reason. This simple form of work can also be used in complex situations, and many pastel painters have reflected this in their work.

Pastel painting has both the heaviness of oil painting and the agility of watercolor painting, and is convenient to paint, and the painting effect is unique, which is highly respected by Western painters. Pastel painting is one of the main types of color painting in the West, with a history of about 500 years. It evolved from sketching.

I've seen it too, and if you're asking what kind of brush the pastel is, I'd like to know. But I look like an oil paintbrush.

You can try water-soluble colored pencils.
