Staghorn Fern

 Staghorn fern was originally a sketching tutorial, demonstrating how to use iPad to draw still life, but I liked the sketches of the demonstration process, and decided to spend two more hours to improve the degree of completion.


Painting includes several aspects, 1. Descriptive ability, 2. Balance and harmony, 3. Emotional expression and message transmission, 4. Originality and influence. Most aspects about learning painting about Descriptive Ability, from calligraphy to sketching, anatomy, color, perspective are all about acquiring descriptive ability. Many contemporary art skips the study of description ability and balance and harmony, which will lead to a huge gap between the artists and the audience. The same problem exists in Manga or Anime. Learning appearance is important, but describing things really requires more understanding of the true nature. Execution after understanding the essence hugely impact the learning curve.
