Methods and steps of landscape sketch

Shooting is an integral part of artistic labor (take a place and paint it carefully), and its reason is the same as that of photographers. The visual angle is related to the success or failure of the picture effect. Inexperienced people begin to make a landscape frame, which can help to observe and choose the scenery, and can clearly choose the ideal angle to form a complete composition. The so-called ideal (or optimal) angle is conducive to determining the perspective of the painted object and picture.

Determine the object to be painted (that is, determine the content and theme of the picture), and choose the part of the scene that you want to paint most according to your hobbies, interests and feelings. We must overcome the blindness of not paying attention to observation, lacking feelings, and sitting down to draw what we see. We should learn the techniques of expression and improve our aesthetic ability through the practice of landscape sketch.

After the angle is determined, determine the position of the horizon in the picture. The apparent horizon has a head-up composition in the middle of the picture, a head-up composition at the top of the picture and a head-up composition at the bottom of the picture. Different composition images have different effects and atmospheres. Determining the angle and perspective form is the conception stage before putting pen to paper, and full conception is the fundamental guarantee for drawing a good landscape painting. First of all, we should arrange the position of the line of sight and the outline of the main image. In order to reflect the main image, we can omit some sub-images, or change their positions on the screen within a reasonable range to make the composition more ideal and the main image more prominent.

Landscape sketch can better cultivate and embody people's composition ability than other sketch forms. Drawing more landscape sketches can help us to understand more deeply the different contrast factors and formal beauty embodied in different composition forms. The focus of landscape sketch is the main image in the picture. If there are close shot, middle shot and long shot in the picture, then close shot is the main image to be portrayed, followed by middle shot and long shot. Mid-shot and long-shot should play the role of setting off close-shot and atmosphere.

To draw the main image well, we must first understand its characteristics and strive to be aware of it. For example, to draw a mountain, we should first observe the height of the mountain and the valley structure between the peaks, and also pay attention to the characteristics of stone mountain or earth mountain, so as to draw it succinctly, accurately and vividly. Another example is drawing a tree. We must first master the basic modeling posture of the trunk, then grasp the growth position and direction of the branches, and then grasp the overall characteristics, images and growth laws of the leaves, which determine the structural image of the tree. Different tree species have different basic structural images and different growth laws. By clarifying these differences, we can draw different images of different kinds of trees in different seasons. Another picturesque building has various architectural images, including pavilions, pavilions, pavilions and so on. Due to different uses and materials, their structural characteristics are also different. Of course, they all share the common characteristics of balance and stability. If the basic structural features of the building are painted wrong, it will lose its aesthetic feeling, and if the perspective is painted wrong, it will distort its image features.
