Wu Guanzhong Sketching from Nature

Sketching with colours

1 / 4

Besides pen and ink, Wu enjoyed using various media for his sketches, such as watercolour, markers and felt tip pens. He was able to capture the vibrant and lively atmosphere of a scene through his bold use of colours. On the other hand, his monochromatic sketches usually feature thin lines with more details, while strong brushstrokes highlight the shape of majestic mountains and rocks.
