c) Life Drawing/Figure Drawing: Human figures are more difficult to master in watercolor paintings. Unlike still life and landscapes where subjects can be randomly added, reduced, modified, and transformed, figure painting requires very accurate form observation ability and good sketching skills. In particular, the portrayal of character expressions and dynamic poses requires students to have a deep foundation.

Life drawing classes are included in the Watercolour Painting course. (Find out more from us – a top up of $15 model fees is required)

三)人物写生:在水彩画中水彩人物是比较难掌握的,不像静物和风景那样可以把对象随意的增减、修改比例、变换色彩,它要求有十分准确的造型能力和良好的素描功底,特别是人物表情和动态神色的刻画需要学生有十分深厚的功底。

针对真人模特写生,首先训练观察力、造型能力,素描速写起稿的准确性。学习人物画着色的运笔技巧以及皮肤质感表现。
