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.
