Quick Study 01









In the fall semester of 2021, I took a course "Quick Study" guided by 
the director of the Art Department of AAU, Mr. Craig Nelson



As the name suggests, the main purpose of this hall is to complete the intuitive and fast painting of the 

scene in front of you within a limited time frame.


Many people mistakenly think that the purpose of this class is to train the speed of painting. In fact, that is 

just added value, painting in a limited time.


It has changed many of the bad habits that many people used to paint, such as "unconsciously smearing over and over" and "warm and fuzzy brushstrokes and composition",


After this semester, continuous practice and experimentation, instructing professors, and step by step guidance, we have covered a variety of topics, creative compositions and light sources,


The main items include: costumed characters, nude characters, performance colors and characters under 

light, still life, landscape... etc. (please refer to the following24 projects) 


Such training and learning may sometimes feel the invisible pressure of tight time, but in the end, the intuition of writing is more sharpened, more changes in brush strokes, and the best part is that more potentials of painting have been 

developed!

2021 下學期, 我選修了一堂由藝術系系主任指導的課程“Quick Study"

顧名思義, 這堂的主旨是在有限制的時間範圍內, 完成直覺性的快速彩繪眼前的景物

很多人都誤以為這堂課的目的是在訓練繪畫的速度,其實那個只是附加價值, 在有限的時間內作畫, 

改變了許多人以往在作畫時的許多壞習慣, 譬如說 "無意識的反覆塗抹“ ”溫吞模糊的筆觸和構圖“, 

經過這ㄧ學期,不斷的練習和嘗試, 指導教授, 循循引導,我們涉略了多元的主題, 創意構圖及光源, 

主要項目,包括了: 著裝的人物, 裸體人物, 表現用色及燈光下的人物, 靜物, 風景...等 (請參考以下

24個項目)這樣的磨練和學習, 雖然有時會感覺到時間緊迫的無形壓力, 但是最終, 下筆的直覺更

敏銳了, 筆觸更多變化了, 最棒的是繪畫的更多潛能被開發了!
