Sketch from nature, one of the most important skills for Chinese landscape painting, is a necessary road for painters to grow to maturity in art. Along the road, painters of every dynasty gradually reached the highest point of the development of Chinese landscape painting by numerous practices. The core of landscape painting sketch from nature is materializer. While in the modern time, the inevitable tide of "the western learning going for eastern smoothly", and the spirit of realism in western painting were regarded as wonder drugs for rebuilding Chinese painting. At that time sketch from nature of landscape painting became a common practice. But the methods and the notion of sketching from nature are transferring to western science spirit gradually, and the skill of materializer was ignored by painters day by day. However, materializer, which is treated as a special expressional way of caring nature and describing character, stands in the forest of world culture. It indicates the taste, personality and feature of our national culture. It's worth studying and cherishing, especially in today's situation in which the identity of world national culture is liable to be vague. |
