Even before the creation of writing, humans could express themselves in circles as a means of communicating with others.

Almost all children like to draw, and children's drawings have their own characteristics in terms of expression, such as shape and color composition, which organically convey a childish beauty.

We believe that it is necessary to expose children to a variety of painting media and to try out a variety of painting methods in order to maintain their enthusiasm and interest in painting over the long term while giving full play to their imagination and creativity.

The oil brush plays a fundamental role in the process of oil painting.

Having a brush that you are comfortable with brings a lot of interest to the artist's work.

The choice of brush depends on the painting technique, and brushes of different textures, shapes and models have different roles to play.

Different shapes of brushes can produce different strokes, so are you using the right ones?

1. Short flat-tipped oil paint brushes. Short, flat-tipped brushes are short, with the length and width of the brush head basically equal, and are used to dip thicker paints into short, heavy brush strokes.

Short flat-tipped brushes tend to produce monotonous square strokes, so care must be taken when using them.

2. Round-tipped oil brushes.

The round-tipped brush has a rounded and pointed tip and is suitable for thin lines and long strokes with thin paint.

Round-tipped brushes are often used to refine the details in a painting.

3. Long flat-tipped oil brushes.

Long flat-tipped brushes have a square head and longer bristles than short flat-tipped brushes.

The long flat-tipped brush has a strong hold on paint and is suitable for longer strokes or thin lines around the edges of a painting.

The long flat-tipped brush is best suited to painting large areas of colour and is particularly suitable for the use of more concentrated pigments.

4. Hazel Blade Oil Brush.

The Hazel Blade brush has a flat, oval-shaped head and produces rounded strokes.

Its shape allows it to be used for both heavy and light strokes.

The Hazel Blade brush is more suitable for blending than the long flat-tipped brush.

5. Fan-shaped oil brushes.

The fan-shaped brush has a flattened fan shape and is one of the new special oil brushes with sparse bristles.

It is used for sweeping and brushing in wet painting, or to soften overly defined contours.

It is often used by painters who prefer a thin brush.

It is important to keep the fan brush clean when using it for colour rubbing, otherwise its dexterity will be hindered.

Notes on the care of the brush

1. Wash immediately after use.

2. Do not place the brush upside down and avoid placing it with the tip facing downwards.

3. Reshape the nib after cleaning.

4. Wash and dry the brushes when not in use and store them in a sealed box with a sanitary ball to prevent moths.

5. It is recommended to use a professional cleaning solution to clean the brushes, as prolonged immersion in strong solvents may cause the colour of the brushes to change and affect the aesthetics of the surface.

Before the invention of the video camera, painting was one of the few ways to preserve a scene.

However, the invention of the camera turned painting into an inefficient tool for recording the objective world.

So what was the point of drawing?

This question inspired a major change in 19th century art, with the Impressionists arguing that painting should be about painting the overall feeling of colour, without being obsessed with detail.

It was still about restoring the world, but it was already a departure from the Academies.

Art comes from life, it is closely related to our lives.

And the art of painting, as a kind of art, can be people's pursuit of ideal beauty, art can also be an image that reproduces the objective world, and art can also be a tool to vent inner emotions.

It is clear that there is no fixed answer to the nature of painting, and that everything can be art.
