Do you know what the expressive skills of oil painting art are?

The artistic language of oil painting is to use color to create a visual experience to convey the author's concept, and the expressive technique is to determine the form of expression by the content to be transmitted. All the repetition of other people's expressions to form metaphysical visual situations is a work without concept and soul.

Realistic oil painting is a very important part of the art of painting and a method of expression. The reason why realism is recognized and widely spread by everyone is that realistic oil painting has played a great role. It is one of the manifestations of a variety of painting methods.

Through the study of the historical inheritance and development direction of realistic oil painting, the creative expression of realistic oil painting is discussed. The focus of this paper is to show the expressive language produced by the use of realistic oil painting techniques through the creation of oil paintings, and to draw on the creative painting skills of oil painters to perfectly interpret the artistic expression language of realistic oil paintings, so that the viewers can feel the visual impact and spiritual resonance in the picture.

Texture refers to the uneven, criss-cross lines on the surface of the object, which is the direct expression of the texture of the object. Every object in the world has a texture, representing the unique characteristics of different objects. For example, there are fine textures on people's **, and if these textures can be portrayed in painting, it can effectively increase vividness.

There are unique textures on the surface of the stone and the bark of the trees, and it is these textures that give the objects their own unique aesthetic taste. Space is the relationship between the front and back, left and right, up and down, far and near of each object in the picture, and the relationship between space can be well expressed in the layered relationship of the picture.

Composition is the arrangement of the picture, in the specific implementation process, you can choose freely according to your personal aesthetic ideals, or add some objects, or subtract some objects. For example, when drawing a beautiful woman, you can focus on beautiful elements such as goose egg face, apricot eyes, double eyelids, cherry mouths, etc., and you can also set some beautiful backgrounds next to the beauty to highlight the interest of the picture.

Modeling is a specific and ideal aesthetic image created according to the painter's ideas, so that the viewer can see something and can arouse the imagination of the viewer. In all visual arts, such as painting, sculpture, theater, film, modelling is the most important linguistic skill. In oil painting, the modeling is based on the principle of precision and conforming to the actual proportional structure, that is, what should be painted should be like, and the cow cannot be painted as a sheep.

Among the many classic oil paintings we see, there are compositional shapes that highlight the theme, such as Michelangelo's "Genesis" is a typical example. Through compositional modeling, a majestic grand scene is created. There are those that complement the main language of the painting through the background, such as Giorgione's "Sleeping Venus".

There are those that use light to express the meaning of the picture, such as Rembrandt's "Night Watch". There are those that express the painter's profound meaning through lines, such as Picasso's "Six Women". There are those that convey the theme through color, such as Renoir's "Bath Girl" series, and there are those that promote the artist's aesthetic concept through brushstrokes, such as Van Gogh's "Sunflowers".

There are those that express artistic conception through skin depictions, such as Ingres's "Spring", where the painter uses velvety brushstrokes that lack luster to depict the youthful and energetic skin of a young girl. Wait a minute.

The artistic language of oil painting is multifaceted:

The language of oil painting, which originated from the West, is more abundant, including shape, color, brushstroke, texture, texture, composition, etc.

As a Chinese oil painter, you must not only master these skills, but also integrate Chinese cultural traditions and Chinese aesthetic spirit into them to form your own unique oil painting artistic language.

As an artistic language, oil painting includes color, light and shade, line, texture, brushstroke, texture, light, space, composition and other modeling factors, the role of oil painting techniques is to reflect the various modeling factors comprehensively or focus on a single item, the performance of oil painting materials fully provides the possibility of using oil painting techniques on the two-dimensional plane foundation. The production process of oil painting is the creative process in which the artist consciously and skillfully controls the oil painting materials, selects and uses techniques that can express artistic ideas and form artistic images.

The oil painting works not only express the ideological content given by the artist, but also show the unique language of oil paintingThe development process of oil painting has gone through several periods of classical, modern and modern times.

Due to the history and various conditions of the time, classical oil painting was only realistic, and formed a rigorous modeling scientific principle from anatomy, perspective, material science, light and shade distribution, etc., and became a highly realistic appearance after long-term production. In modern times, in the 19th century, changes occurred due to changes in the understanding of color, such as the principle of complementary color discovered by Constance through the observation and sketching of nature, which increased the contrast of colors in later oil paintings, and also formed some schools with distinctive characteristics, such as Delacroix's Romanticism, France's Barbizon School, etc. I learned about the relationship between light source color, intrinsic color, and environmental color, and the subjective meaning of hue.

At the end of the 19th century, Western oil painting underwent fundamental changes, oil painting was no longer based on the principle of pure realism, artists took the form of oil painting as the medium of their spiritual and emotional world, and the concept of expression was popular, such as Impressionism took the lead in abandoning the traditional oil painting mode, and creatively made oil painting have a new look and a new way of language expression. In contemporary times, different artistic concepts have formed more genres, the traditional oil painting language has been split and strengthened, and unilateral factors have even gone to extremes, such as cubism that attaches importance to structure, fauvism that emphasizes color, what expressionism, abstraction and other schools have been formed. In the process of this development, materials and techniques have also undergone great changes.

The plasticity of the color of oil painting is extremely strong, that is, it can be transparent, it can also be thick, it can be delicate, it can also produce a variety of textures, textures, it can be covered many times, and it can also be painted directly, and there are many methods such as brush, knife, hand, cloth, rubbing, scratching, scraping, etc., the effect is different, and the material has changed greatly from the classical Tempera to the modern development, which can be used and the selection is very wide. Therefore, the language of oil painting has been extremely rich.

The line is an important auxiliary means of modeling, and it is an indispensable element for outlining the outline. Whether it is an oil painting or a Chinese painting, it is necessary to use lines to shape. Similarly, when modeling with lines, the lines are required to be smooth and smooth, so that people can look comfortable.

Light and shadow are unique elements of oil painting, which is the light source that reflects the relationship between light and dark in different parts of the object when it shines on the object, so as to increase the three-dimensional effect. Where the light can shine is bright and brilliant, shadows appear where it can't shine.

Color is the color set on the aesthetic image, and the principle is to conform to the inherent natural color of the object. For example, if a ripe apple is a red color, you can't paint the ripe apple pink or orange, because that will be distorted. The brushstroke is the trajectory of the brush on the canvas, and it is an important way to express the artist's emotions.

Emotionally unrestrained, he likes to express warm, emotional scenes, and often uses rough brushstrokes. Rational and calm objects are suitable for delicate brushstrokes, and the picture looks smooth and moist, and oil paint particles are rarely seen.

The seven techniques of oil painting are: glazing, base color, wet painting, palette knife, impasto, pure gray painting, and chiaroscuro.

1. Glazing. Varnishing involves applying a thin layer of transparent or translucent pigment to the surface. During this process, each subsequent layer changes the appearance of the underlying color, resulting in a multifaceted hue.

2. Background color. The base color is the first layer of paint applied to the picture, which guides the rest of your work and determines the overall direction of the tone.

3. Wet painting method.

Painting is a lengthy process, and you'll need to wait until the previous layer of paint is completely dry before moving on to the next layer. But if you use wet painting, the process is completely reversed. This is another style of painting, which was used by Impressionists such as Monet and Van Gogh post-impressionists.

4. Palette knife.

Palette knives are often used for mixing paints, but if you consider it as a painting method, you can create textured strokes based on the shape of the palette knife that you can't paint with a brush, and the edge of the palette knife is hard, making it the best tool for angular marker making and abstract shapes.

5. Thick coating. You can use a paintbrush and an excess of paint, apply the paint thickly to the canvas, and mix the paint on the canvas.

6. Pure gray painting.

Pure gray painting is a method of oil painting in which the image is done in shades of gray or another neutral color.

7. Light and dark method.

Refers to the balance of light and dark in one or more paintings. It is often associated with oil painting because it has its origins in the Renaissance. Caravaggio and Rembrandt were probably the artists who used this technique the most.
