It is a debatable issue in the circle of fine arts that which way of creation should be used during the painting:on-the-spot drawing or with the help of pictures. In this article, I use my personal painting experiences and the representative works and artistic styles of the four modern painters who exercise the great influence on me:Xiaodong Cui, Xiaodong Liu, Qing Chang and Gerhard Richter, to present my own opinions and learning experiences.The gist of the article is that no matter which way of creation is used during our painting, on-the-spot drawing or with the help of pictures, we choose the way that is more suitable for us and create the paintings from the heart. |
