How to paint an oil painting without the feeling of gouache

First, the pigment and oil reasons, change to a good pigment (cheap domestic Windsor can also be), in addition to the background color diluted with turpentine, the details can be used to adjust the composite oil or linseed oil;

The second is caused by the stiffness of the connection, and the brushstrokes should not be "swinged" like gouache, which is too frivolous and lacks intermediate levels.

The properties of the two pigments are different, the oil painter dilutes with oil, and the water flows with water, and the transparency is faster than that of oil.

It would be much better to put some classical oil paintings on the spot.

People who paint watercolors in the West will paint oil paintings, but people who can paint oil paintings may not necessarily paint watercolors, and the landlord slowly understands what I mean. Chinese just love to distinguish gouache and oil painting, saying that the oil portrait gouache you paint, just like love to separate sketches and sketches, gouache is suitable for candidates, because it is low cost and fast drying, so it is regarded as garbage by some people without vision, compared to "aristocratic oil painting", the landlord only needs to put his mind well and draw the painting you think is colorful.

Chinese oil paintings generally paint without oil smell Including some well-known domestic "masters", the key problem is the use of oil and materials, now there is too much garbage oil on the market, painting is naturally very gouache, go buy some good oil Remember to burn money Don't use turpentine or something That thing is just to wash the brush...

The difference between oil painting and gouache:

1. The materials used are different.

The pigments used in gouache are gouache paints, which can be mixed and diluted with water. Oil painting uses oil paint or acrylic paint, and it is also necessary to use media when painting oil painting: toning oil, triad oil, turpentine, varnish and so on.

2. The substrate is different.

Gouache is generally painted on gouache paper. Oil paintings, on the other hand, are painted on canvas or wood, and are smaller than murals.

3. The characteristics of painting are different.

Gouache painting is the most commonly used painting method for color beginners, with a certain ability to cover, and some colors are weakly covered, and the background color will be turned over. Oil painting is the main painting method in the history of Western painting, oil painting has the characteristics of rich color, heavy and shiny, and there will be no background color turning.

4. The picture effect is different.

The color of the wet gouache painting is bright and full, and the whole picture effect of the dry gouache painting is powdery, and the dry and wet changes greatly. Oil paintings are bright and bright, and can be expressed in a variety of styles, with rich pigments, strong adhesion ability, and long-term luster after drying.

5. Different storage methods.

The storage time of gouache painting is not long, and it is best to use a plastic packaging bag to add a dry leakage agent to store it, but after gouache painting is stored for a long time, the surface will have different degrees of cracking. It is difficult to preserve oil paintings, and they need to be stored in a stable environment, and the humidity and temperature should not fluctuate too much.

Tips for oil painting:

To draw the dark side (dark color) first, similar to sketching, first find the boundary between light and dark, and distinguish the dark side from the bright side first. And then go deeper.

It is necessary to pay attention to the overall coloring, not only pick out the part, but start from the whole, repeatedly compare the sketch structure relationship of color and the relationship between the cold and warm of color, squint your eyes from time to time, compare the overall relationship, ignore the local relationship, and the large color relationship must be spread over the whole picture, and then go to the in-depth portrayal.

Oil painting is a bit more difficult.

In the case of oil painting, the initial color mixing, the use of various tools, and the mixing of oil and pigment need to be explained in detail by the teacher, and the texture of the material must be mastered.

Introduction to watercolor painting: watercolor painting is a painting method of painting with water and transparent pigments, referred to as watercolor, due to the transparent color, one layer of color covering another layer can produce a special effect, but mixing too many colors or covering too much will make the color dirty, and the water dries quickly, so watercolor painting is not suitable for making large-scale works, suitable for making fresh and bright small paintings such as landscapes. The color is easy to carry, and can also be used as a sketch collection material.

Compared to other paintings, watercolor painting pays considerable attention to expressive techniques. There are usually two types of painting methods: "dry painting" and "wet painting".

Introduction to Oil Painting: An Oil Painting A painting in oils) is a type of painting made on canvas, linen, cardboard or wood by mixing pigments with quick-drying vegetable oils (linseed oil, poppy oil, walnut oil, etc.). The thinners used in painting are volatile turpentine and dry linseed oil.

The pigment attached to the picture has a strong hardness, and when the picture dries, it can maintain its luster for a long time. With the hiding power and transparency of the pigment, the depicted object is fully expressed, with rich colors and strong three-dimensional texture. Oil painting is one of the main types of Western painting.

I studied oil painting, and I still feel that I haven't learned oil painting, and watercolor is even more difficult to get home, because their painting methods are completely opposite! Oil painting is colored from dark to light, and watercolor is colored from light to dark! In other words, I personally appreciate watercolor, because it is really handsome when it is painted!!

It's very individual, those awesome hand-painted paintings are really beautiful! If you want me to say, it's really hard to say, maybe watercolor is more difficult, because watercolor paint has no covering power, and if it's wrong, I don't know what to do.

Actually, it's all about the same, but if you want to draw well, the foundation is the most important. And the basis of painting is drawing. After practicing sketching, oil painting and watercolor, and getting used to painting a little, it can be a good painting tool.

Oil painting is difficult, many of the works are oil paintings, it is not easy to master, I learned gouache when I was very young, there are not such high requirements, but there are many ways to paint.

Actually, it's not difficult to paint or gouache, the important thing is whether you study it seriously or not.

I don't think it's difficult to paint oil or gouache.

It's not hard to learn their skills carefully, but you prefer to use that kind of technique and method to draw!

Watercolor is a little more convenient than oil painting, oil painting has to be the base, and the toner is also oil, and it takes a long time to dry.

In fact, the difficulty is the same, as long as you deepen your understanding, you will learn the technique.

It seems that oil painting is a bit more difficult, but it depends on which oil painting you choose.

I prefer oil painting. Watercolor don't go to learn.

It's hard to learn, endless...

The question ...

It's like asking which is better, fish or meat.

Let's talk about the difference between oil painting and gouache first

1.Pigments: Oil painting uses oil-soluble pigments, while gouache uses water-soluble pigments, and the latter is relatively easy to grasp in terms of performance.

2.Substrate: canvas for oil painting, paper for gouache painting. The latter hardly needs to do any processing, while the former needs to do the "foundation", and the process is relatively complicated.

3.Painting method: Oil painting starts from dark tones, gradually paints to light tones, and finally finishes.

Gouache painting starts with the middle tone and moves towards the two ends (light and dark) until it is completed. In addition, oil painting can be layered to increase the sense of heaviness, while gouache should not be traced repeatedly, and the picture is relatively bright.

Conclusion: Although the image is shaped by color and block, gouache is easier to use and more economical than oil painting. Therefore, it is recommended to start with gouache painting first, exercise your grasp of color and block surface, and then switch to oil painting after you have a certain experience, I think it will have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort.

One additional sentence: don't think that learning gouache is equivalent to being able to paint oil paintings; Don't think that if you have studied gouache, you can't learn oil painting anymore!

Oil painting is easy to get started, since you are learning professional painting, I believe that high school has a good gouache skills, oil painting is relatively gouache, in fact, it is simpler, after all, the plasticity and modifiability of oil painting are far better than gouache (in fact, I personally think that the popularization of gouache painting before college is because gouache painting is cheaper, not easier to master), and the general oil painting skills can basically be all inherited from gouache skills (such as the dark part slightly over, Paint at the end of the highlights and highlights to increase the depth of the picture, reflections and highlights can be added when the basic light and shade are established) and oil painting can better allow you to understand the imaging mode of the world from pigment. It can be described as the choice of the nobility and the profession;

The shortcomings of oil painting are also obvious, that is, the picture is too heavy compared to watercolor painting (after all, this is determined by the paint itself), lacks aura and breathability, and other characteristics are also destined to be not in line with the popularity; Theodore.

Clement's oil painting landscape works.

Traditional) watercolor painting is relatively close to sketching, most of the pen effort is spent on the dark part, and the bright part is mainly left, but watercolor is more difficult to master than sketching, because watercolor pigment limits its modifiability (after the color is up, it is difficult to modify) and the color change is serious in dry and wet conditions, and the way of mixing colors also has two kinds of dry mixing and wet mixing (the effect of the same color is very different in different ways), so to speak, watercolor is a painting method that can only be added (colored) and cannot be subtracted (modified). Also because of the limitations of revision, the picture must be strictly composed before painting, and often the painting time and composition time of a watercolor work are halved.

The effect of this limited painting is also very obvious: the ethereal white space and the special blending effect of the water can make the watercolor painting very brilliant, good at expressing the feeling of lightness and agility, it is easier to resonate with the soul in terms of visual effects, and in terms of preservation, due to the popularization of digital imaging technology, it has become a matter of concern.
