On the creative focus of realistic oil painting

The richest man Huang Zejin appreciates realistic beauty paintings.

First of all, you can highlight the characteristics of tracing. There is an essential difference between mere imitation and recreation. Photorealist painters tend to take a lot of ** when collecting material, and then carefully sift through it, rather than copying it mechanically.

Most of them draw very detailed sketches before making the original manuscript, repeatedly scrutinize the structure of the picture and the shape of the object, and deal with the relationship between the dark parts. Some important sketches tend to be as large as the originals. From the choice of subject matter, composition, color treatment to the delicacy of depiction techniques, all reflect the painter's aesthetic quality and skill.

Secondly, it shows that art is the best in life. Any art evolves with the development of society. Life cannot be stopped, and neither can art.

No matter how high-end art is, it is a starting point and a process for the future, and oil painting is no exception. So it can be said that hyper-realistic oil painting is not the end of oil painting. There is no end to oil painting.

Then there are the characteristics that embody its authenticity. Whether it is realistic expression or abstract expression, the best art in contemporary art or video techniques, etc. It is just a way for artists to express their own worldview.

I'm just talking about the ways in which the artist can better represent what is being conveyed. For example, my job is to show another "real" world in my paintings, the existence of things, and to deeply integrate their inner things into the works through painting, so I chose oil painting. Oil painting is used and developed because its representation can create space and three-dimensionality.

Art knows no bounds. Since the birth of oil painting in the West in the 15th century, after five or six hundred years of development, oil painting has moved from a relatively single form of expression of classical realism in the Renaissance to realism, romanticism, neoclassicism, impressionism, abstraction, surrealism, surrealism and other forms of coexistence.

Photorealist oil painting his material is generally realistic photography, and will objectively depict the image, and he has a certain difference from other ** in mood and tone, generally chooses to refine and summarize the way, and tailors the ** accordingly, it will fully display the details of some objects, and even magnify dozens of times, so as to produce a strong impact, it is generally relatively decorative.

Photorealism, i.e., super realism, is an extreme realistic technique of painting, which deviates from the subjective nature of painting, and should not be used as the dominant style of painting, but can only be a niche hobby.

The characteristic is that he can paint some particularly realistic things, and the things he draws are very similar to some scenes in our reality, and he will not exaggerate the kind of oil painting that is realistic.

**It's a reference.,The things drawn are particularly realistic.,Drawn**It's also very real.,The color matching is particularly good.。

There are also types of oil paintings, which are divided into realistic oil paintings and abstract oil paintings.

Realistic painting belongs to figurative art in the form of art, which is a kind of expression of painting. Through the observation and depiction of external objects, the artist experiences his own feelings and understandings to reproduce the external objects, which is in line with the viewer's visual experience and provides the viewer with aesthetic pleasure for the senses.

Originating from the West, realistic painting has a long history and a deep tradition. Realistic painting flourished during the "Renaissance" rockfall period in Europe, and after 500 years of glory, it produced many masters, masters and immortal masterpieces in the history of art. Before the 20th century, the entire history of Western art was the history of realistic painting, which was never doubted by the envy of the people.

There was once a time when the advent of the "camera" and "photography" made people doubt the usefulness of realistic painting. In fact, photography cannot replace painting, and external challenges will force art itself to become more "artistic", which is determined by the self-discipline of art.

In the 20th century, Western art broke the dominance of the classical realistic tradition, especially the birth of modern art concepts, which greatly broadened the boundaries of art. Realistic painting, as one of the forms of painting, still has a place, and there is no shortage of excellent artists and works.

**can never be classified with painting, if you say to a senior painter that your painting is very similar and beautiful, and looks the same as **, this statement is actually slandering and belittling the strength of a painter. **There is still an essential difference between it and hyperrealist painting, machines have no feelings, people have feelings. <>

The meaning of hyperrealist painting is to make the painter less rigid and make what the painter wants to keep more pure, which means that the painter can express his own views through his own subjective thoughts and reflect them on the picture. Although photography can also be reflected in certain angles, the tools and media used by the two are very different in terms of production efficiency. Therefore, the value given to the object is also different, and the time cost of a second into a piece is different from that of a year's hard work.

The meaning of hyper-realistic painting is to cultivate one's own sentiments. Let time slow down and keep something impetuous away from you. At the same time, painting brings people an aesthetic elevation and a change in vision.

There are some things that will not be discovered without learning to paint, just like the beauty in life, which cannot be noticed and valued by ordinary people. <>

Hyper-realist oil painting is to let people learn to observe beauty, discover beauty, feel the beauty in life, and the most real beauty in the material world. Speaking of which, do you still think there is no point in these hyperrealisms? Then you couldn't be more wrong.

Whether from an artistic or historical point of view, painting has an indelible role in human beings. The humanist ideas that promote history are expressed through painting, and the Renaissance and Enlightenment are all inspired people to understand the world, science, respect and understand man himself through painting. This is the significance of painting to history.

Coupled with the significance of painting to human beings mentioned above, we can clearly know that painting; Whether it is hyperrealism, impressionism or other isms, they all play a role in the development of mankind that cannot be ignored. <>

The meaning is that it is not so rigid, and the things expressed by the painter will be more pure, so that the painter can express his own point of view, and later reflect his point of view on the picture, which can cultivate his own sentiments, and can also keep some impetuous things away from himself, and can have more soul and life.

The meaning is to make the painting look more distinct, to make the painting look more vivid, to make the painting look very realistic, to make the painting look more colorful, and to make the flowers look more beautiful.

The meaning of this kind of painting is that some things can be recorded realistically, because this kind of oil painting is particularly real, so it can replace photography, and it can also make the colors more beautiful.

It is more commemorative, and it will also allow people to see things and think about people, and at the same time, they can also think of a mood and a state of production at that time, which can better enrich some colors, and at the same time, they can also have a better discernment, and it will be of better help to a person, and the significance of preservation is also very great.

Improving your painting skills and better displaying your own points of view can make the picture more charming, leave more beautiful landscapes, and show different scenery charms through different colors.

To paint realistically, you must first have a certain painting ability, as well as a certain familiarity and mastery of materials.

1. Drafting, generally starting with a very fine sketch, and then passing through the draft to the canvas.

2. Spread the color, very thin, and the color should be brighter and gray than expected.

3. Go deeper. It's a long time to adjust. To use a medium to make the articulation natural.

4. Varnishing and dyeing.

It's very simple, but it's very particular about how it works. This is talking about the dyeing method. This method is rigorous from the beginning of the production.

There is also a similar direct drawing method.

It is also the first draft, but it is not necessary to draw a fine sketch, and it is directly on the canvas with a small pen.

Then spread the big color, mainly pay attention to the relationship between the large color blocks.

Go deeper. Readjustment.

This method is different from layer-by-layer dyeing, which is basically done in one go, but it can be constantly adjusted and can be painted very finely. However, it is not the same as the effect of dyeing.

However, in fact, no matter which method is used, the most important thing is the skill of painting. Not to mention anything else, looking at Leng Jun's paintings, whether it is sketching or any work, that kind of realistic skill is not comparable to anyone. There are sketching steps for the cold army on the Internet.

Very small paintings, very finely drawn. Direct drawing.

In fact, it's useless to talk too much about painting, it's better to paint more.

Cover it layer by layer with a thinner color. Wait for the previous layer to dry (it dries relatively quickly due to the thin color), otherwise the paint will mix easily and the picture will stain.

If you want the final picture to be smooth without revealing brushstrokes, it is very difficult to rely on the brush alone, you can prepare two flat small wooden boards and some fine sandpaper, after drawing a few layers, the color is dry, you can use one wooden board to pad the back of the canvas, and the other is pasted with sandpaper on the front and gently and carefully sanded, and then continue; After the initial completion of the picture, it is finally polished, then retouched with color, and finally evenly covered with a layer of varnish.

In addition, it is better to choose materials with finer textures for the canvas. If the canvas coating is homemade, you can add an appropriate amount of egg white to the paint.

It's time-consuming and labor-intensive, but there's no other way to get the final picture that way.

It's not that complicated, choose a pen, a soft brush, adjust the color, knead slowly, don't overknead, the articulation is also the same technique, of course, the premise is that there is an accurate and meticulous sketch

Many realistic painting methods are painted for a long time and then again and again, and you need a variety of small brushes to draw slowly, you can take a look at Leng Junde's oil painting, which is a good realistic oil painting.

You can refer to the works on the China Tao Painting website, which are all works of famous artists, which should give you some inspiration.

I wonder why you draw so flat? Oil paintings can have thicknesses. Painting an oil painting tends to be very thick with oil paint. If you like it, you should go to someone and learn it.

What is the method of classical transparent painting?

1) Sketch the first draft. The transparent painting method relies primarily on a clear, successful monochrome base painting – a sketch. At this stage, a frame that can be filled with base colors can be clearly determined with any sketching medium - charcoal strips, pastels, etc.

After that, spray a coat of hairspray or varnish.

2) Pure gray painting. It is common to paint in gray with white and black, but it can also be done with ochre or brown with white. The basic requirement is to have strong contrasts between light and dark, and to express them in light tones as much as possible, because each subsequent color will darken the picture a little.

According to the principle of "fat cover thin", oil is used as little as possible in this stage, and ancient painters mostly use lead white, because lead white is the most "thin" in oil paint, while black oil painting contains more oil, so it should be used sparingly. When it comes to portraits with strong contrasts between light and dark, it doesn't mean that darker is better, but the darkest tones are in the middle of the gray while maintaining the brightness. When painting gray paintings, you should always have a fan pen or oil roller and use it to smooth out the paint constantly, and generally only draw thicker strokes where you really need them.

After the gray painting is finished, let it dry for at least two days and then apply a layer of polish, which is conducive to the subsequent color coat varnishing.

3) Coloring. At the beginning, the color layer should be summarized, and the first step in the coloring process is to apply a simple diluted varnishing color over a large area. Wait for one layer of varnish to dry before covering the next layer, about one to two days apart.

Of course, it is possible to use the wet cover wet painting method, but it is not easy to control the color, so many artists who use the transparent painting method paint several paintings at the same time.

4) Thin coating. After transparent coloring, in order to increase the body feeling and texture of the object, the highlights and details are often emphasized by thin coating, and a large amount of white tones and a large amount of toning oil are applied to the dry glazing color, and more toning oil is added to comply with the principle of "fat cover thin". Note:

Do not use turpentine at this stage. Turpentine is only used in the gray painting stage.

The steps can follow Ai Xuan's or Ewell's, and the details of the steps in both are quite detailed.

Books can be found.

These two books have been thoroughly studied, and they are basically experts in oil painting.

If you know a little bit about art and photography, you will know the difference between photography and painting.

High-precision photography can be done to shoot a rust spot and a pore of the object, and if you use fill light or some tone adjustment means, you can shoot a very artistic **.

Painting is completely in accordance with the author's idea to create, the author is to show everything his eyes observe on the canvas, including the color and local structural characteristics that cannot be photographed, as well as the author's own understanding and analysis of the depicted object, and even more extreme, the local small color changes that can not be photographed are expressed one by one with a brush. So we will see some figure paintings, and even see every hair and the blood vessels under the **, and some small spots or mutilations in some still lifes. Whether or not these things can be seen depends on the author, and it is difficult to do so even with high-definition photography.

But photography is a product of the nineteenth century, and before that, people could only record anything visually through painting. In the nineteenth century, landscape painting and still life painting in Europe developed greatly.

Photorealism is derived from Pop Art, and aims to express the depicted object completely calmly and objectively by means of painting, even ignoring the emotions of the object itself, but pursuing a complete and clear representation of every detail of the object.

If you compare this kind of artwork with the real one, it is easy to find that in fact, this kind of work exceeds the one in terms of details, and is more detailed and distinct than the first in terms of texture analysis, color and chiaroscuro.

If you have to compare it with **, you will still find that photorealist works are paintings with the author's creative emotions, and the emotions of ** are mostly reflected by the extension of the audience's experience.

It should be said that this is the biggest difference between photography and painting.

Because of this, from an artistic point of view, this kind of photorealist painting has complete existential value.
