What objects are commonly used as still life in oil painting still life sketch?

When we are sketching or creating oil painting still life, we will carefully choose our favorite still life to describe. So what are the common objects in oil painting still life sketch? Let's have a look.

Painters have great freedom to choose and use the content of still life paintings, but not everything can enter the ranks of still life paintings. Throughout history, painters have chosen the following materials: first, food, such as prey, fruits, vegetables, seafood and birds and animals; One kind is ornamental items, such as flowers, exquisite vases, glassware and so on. The other is sacred books, antiques and historical relics that reflect human cultural life. Van Gogh included sunflowers and old leather shoes in still life paintings with his unique enthusiasm.

/kloc-The French still life painter Jin Bao painted a five-sense picture, in which piano, bread, wine, flowers, chessboard and playing cards appeared, symbolizing the five sensory organs of human beings, such as vision, hearing, smell and touch. This picture seems to include everything in the content of still life painting, suggesting that anything within the range of human senses can be used as the content of still life painting. This shows that everything can enter the still life painting as long as it touches the artist's aesthetic mind.

Still Life on Bread was painted by French still life painter Xia Erdan. It consists of bread, biscuits, China boxes and bowls, apples and wine. In particular, a sweet-scented osmanthus is inserted into the bread, which makes the viewer not only satisfied visually, but also satisfied in taste and smell. People can't imagine that a box of birthday cakes can be combined with uncooked raw hairtail fish to form a beautiful still life painting. Generally speaking, hairtail can only be matched with ginger, onion, soy sauce bottle or lettuce to form a harmonious still life. Grapes are well matched with pears and apples, but not with chickens and ducks. Flowers in vases are better than in soy sauce bottles.

There are different flowers and plants in the four seasons and eight festivals, and everyone has their own habits and aesthetic feelings. Many painters draw beautiful still life pictures of withered flowers and plants to express their feelings, which are recognized by the audience. In short, the design of still life painting should pay attention to the internal logical connection between things, otherwise it will only bring confusion to the audience.

Dana pointed out in Philosophy of Art: "The purpose of art is to express the essence of things, that is, to express the main characteristics of things." In this way, when we choose still life, we should have an image standard besides the content. The object to be selected should preferably have obvious personality characteristics. Brightness comes from contrast. Life experience tells us that where the contrast is strong, the perception is high. Therefore, color configuration can produce objects with different textures and sizes, as well as objects with deep emotional language, which should also be paid attention to when choosing still life.
