范玑认为，画非求名利之具，而在于养性，提出了较系统的画家心性修养论。他认为学画之道应是师古而不泥古，临摹中有创造，鉴古而知古人得失，程序上应先工后写。关于作画之道，应处理好笔墨、虚实、繁简关系。他对鉴赏之道颇有会心，对诗画互补的看法也不乏新见。 Fan Ji believes that drawing non-fame and fortune, but rather supportive, put forward a more systematic artist’s spiritual cultivation theory. He believes that the art of painting should be the ancient division rather than muddy ancient, copy creation, ancient Kam know the ancients gain and loss, the program should be written after work. On the road to painting, we should deal with the ink, the actual situation, and simplify the relationship. He was quite appreciative of the way of appreciation, and his views on the mutual supplement of poetry and painting were also freshly arrived at.
