A Study of Character Expression in the Creation of Watercolour Paintings

Abstract

The depiction of characters' expressions has always been one of the key concerns of artists. The expressions of figures in contemporary watercolour paintings are sincere but different in style, reflecting the inner state of mind of the characters in the paintings, as well as the character of the people, presenting an extremely rich artistic expressiveness and providing a visual feast for the viewers. At the same time, the expression of figure painting is also one of the important means for artists to look at the whole society and convey the feelings of characters in contemporary society. This paper will focus on the expression of contemporary figure paintings, through examples of representative portraits and in-depth research and analysis, focusing on the study of the expression of contemporary watercolour figures, and attempting to decipher the skills of the painters and learn from their spirit of continuous exploration and innovation.
