ABSTRACT

In Western traditional art, sketching is often regarded as a draft for creating oil paintings, and the expressive power of its painting language has not received sufficient attention. However, in traditional Chinese art, the modeling language of ink and wash materials shares considerable similarities with sketching. Therefore, the expressive sketching in contemporary Chinese painting has achieved remarkable success. This article elaborates on the differences between expressive sketching and realistic sketching, the phased achievements of Chinese expressive sketching, and discusses related teaching issues based on the creative rules of expressive sketching.
