The steps in learning traditional Chinese painting are to learn fine brushwork first and then freehand brushwork.

Meticulous brushwork can systematically learn the steps of painting, the way of using the pen, the type of pen, double hook and single hook lines. There is a famous saying in Chinese painting: from ordinary to extraordinary, and then from extraordinary to ordinary. In fact, freehand brushwork can only be carried out after mastering the skills of fine brushwork. Nowadays, many irresponsible teachers teach freehand brushwork directly. First, if the freehand brushwork is not good, it can be distinguished as good or bad. Secondly, it is easy to produce "effects" and is convenient for parents and students to see. "Results"

No matter what kind of painting you learn, it is very important to learn the language of this painting. I have always taught students to start with gongbi, nourishing the mind and spirit, and nourishing the momentum. Once you have enough momentum, you can go on Learn freehand brushwork, haha, I hope you can carefully consider my opinion. Thanks.
