Painting skills of oil painting

On the application of techniques in oil painting I. Traditional oil painting techniques

There are many basic techniques of oil painting, such as point, line, surface, brush strokes, texture, modeling, color, space, composition and so on. From the perspective of painting skills, there are pat, swing, frustration, wiping, sweeping, stamping, restraint, pulling, riding, painting, scraping, line, point, painting, and so on. Judging from the pigments used, they gradually developed from wax and egg glue to oil medium. From the perspective of factions, there are mainly three schools of painting; The first is the school of Nederland painting, which is characterized by transparent Bo Tu paintings, and the representative painter is Jan Van Dyke. The second is the Italian painting school, which is characterized by opaque and thick paintings, and Titian is the representative painter; The third school of painting integrated the techniques of the above two schools of painting. The representative painter is the Flemish painter Rubens, whose typical feature is that the dark part is transparent and Bo Tu, while the bright part is opaque and heavy. The basic skills of these oil paintings have their own characteristics, which can produce different artistic effects and be good at expressing different themes or emotions. For example, Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece Mona Lisa is an outstanding creation, which uses a variety of techniques and brushstrokes. In addition to careful observation and refinement, the use of color and light is particularly commendable.

The use of color in oil painting is another important aspect of technique. The soul of an oil painting is the emotion to be expressed by an oil painting, and the best way to express the painter's emotion is color. Take Picasso's works as an example, the colors in his works can reflect the different situations of his life. He used blue to express his life, showing a kind of poverty, old age and loneliness. The oil paintings in the rose period have added some bright colors, which have a harmonious aesthetic feeling and concern for human nature under the performance of still indifference. This change of brightness and darkness, thinness and thickness is often given some symbolic significance by painters in spirit.

There is also the use of lines in oil painting. Line is an important emotional expression in painting. Through the artistic expression of lines, better picture effects can be created. This kind of emotional expression is usually the painter's psychological reaction, that is to say, lines can reflect the painter's personality. For example, in Schiller's Dry Cleaning Room, the use of lines in the painting is shocking. This artistic language gives people a feeling of tension, pain and depression, which makes people think about life and death and is very expressive.

Generally speaking, the typical techniques of traditional oil painting are realistic. China oil painting artists have taken a realistic road in the process of studying oil painting creation. For example, Yang Feiyun, Guo Runwen and Chao Ge are all famous realistic oil painters, and they all attach importance to the application of traditional techniques and materials. Traditional oil painting techniques and materials have been perfectly embodied in classic oil paintings, which can reproduce the inherent material beauty of oil paintings while being realistic. This technology accurately reproduces natural scenery and people, so that people can enjoy and satisfy the reproduction of art. At the same time, traditional oil painting techniques are also the basis of modern oil painting techniques, and various basic oil painting techniques are also included. However, in the 1960s, a subversive revolution took place in the art of painting. Since this period, contemporary art has become the dominant art creation, during which many art forms have emerged, such as pop art, conceptual art and abstract art, etc. Paying attention to individuation and conceptualization are the characteristics of contemporary oil painting art, but innovation does not mean the demise of traditional oil painting art, oil painting technology has not come to an end, but is developing towards diversification, and oil painting methods will also bear various development pressures. The new art form is different from the past, but it should also be appealing, and all kinds of new attempts and thoughts should be realized with the help of new techniques.

Second, the new oil painting techniques

China oil painting creators constantly draw nutrition from western theory and practice, inherit the essence of China traditional painting, and combine it with modern science and technology, which has set off a climax of innovation and development in recent years. New oil painting techniques are constantly produced and developed, including the return of traditional elements, the application of new technologies and materials, and the display of new styles. One of the ways to return to traditional elements is to integrate the content and artistic conception of China traditional culture into western oil painting creation, bringing China style to oil painting creation. These elements not only include some symbolic China traditional vessels and costumes, such as ding, Zun, Guan and Hanfu. It also includes the painting methods and artistic conception in China traditional ink painting. The application of new technology in painting art is mainly realized by computer. Artists use computer software to assist sketching, and the oil paintings they create are more metallic and futuristic, thus creating a strong modern atmosphere. The advantage of using new materials in oil painting creation is that the texture of the material itself has strong expressive force. For example, the desolate Gobi desert can be represented by pigments with sand, and it is easy to achieve unexpected results without resorting to heavy colors. The new style of oil painting comes from the new thinking and content of oil painting. For example, Chinese style oil painting is a combination of traditional elements in China, which is in sharp contrast with traditional oil painting. The fusion of Chinese and western arts has created a brand-new artistic effect.

The techniques of oil painting creation are not static, but constantly developing with the development of the times. New technology, new materials and new tools will surely find their place in traditional painting creation and have an innovative impact on oil painting creation. Oil painting creation has been seeking a breakthrough, and it is impossible to be indifferent to new technologies, new materials and new tools.

Thirdly, taking the image and picture technology as an example, it explains the creative process of new technology.

Avant-garde painters with pioneering spirit have been making various innovative attempts. The oil paintings created by new techniques break through the traditional color and structure, and also break through the fixed category of light and shadow, showing the development trend of various materials and methods. For example, Gerhard richter, a contemporary oil painting artist, is good at integrating images and pictures into his oil paintings, and integrating elements of the scientific and technological era into his works, giving people a feeling of being bright at the moment. His oil paintings look vague and seem to be at arm's length, but in the illusory obscurity, there is a thought-provoking depth. In the treatment of light and shadow, his oil paintings are unique: the edges and bright parts of dark objects are blurred to enhance the effect of light, which has a strong impact on the picture, and the viewer can feel it from a distance and be attracted.

With the development of information technology, pictures and images can be fully enjoyed. From cosmic nebulae to microscopic microorganisms, all kinds of fantastic images are influencing the development of oil painting, and are properly and reasonably applied to oil painting creation.

As Delacroix said, the value of Daguerre's photography to painting art is impressive, and the flexible and effective use of this technology can make painting art reach an unprecedented peak. Take Gerhard richter's oil painting "A Group of People" as an example. This painting uses an image. In this image, the edge of the object is blurred, many complicated details are diluted, and the image is transformed from a painting to an oil painting on the canvas.

But this process of applying images and pictures to oil painting creation is definitely not arbitrary. It is impossible for an artist to take out a painting and start to create an oil painting. This picture can certainly touch the artist's own feelings, and it can certainly touch others.

Before you start oil painting, you should first choose the painting theme, and then collect and select images or pictures according to your own theme for painting creation. According to your own creation, you need to properly process the picture, and then project the picture onto the canvas with projection equipment, so as to obtain painting modeling. The advantage of this technology is obvious, because the set graphics will not be distorted and easy to use. If there is no suitable projection equipment, or the size of the work is beyond the scope of the projection equipment, the selected and processed image can be copied to the canvas as a whole, so that the external outlines of people and things in the picture can be obtained on the canvas.

The outer contour thus obtained becomes blurred on the canvas. The specific technology of blurring treatment is to cover the dark part of the picture with pigment, and then evenly coat the bright part of the picture with titanium dioxide, which is thicker and makes the picture feel three-dimensional and heavy, resulting in impact; After that, we should deal with the gray in the picture, gently wipe it with a flat-headed pen, soften it and look less stiff; The next step is to scan the edge contour line in the object with a small pen and repeat it many times until the edge line becomes blurred; Finally, shape characters and objects with small pens. Repeat it many times until you create the blur effect you want.

In this creative process, light and shadow processing is very important. The intensity of light and shadow in the picture can reflect the creator's own emotional and psychological activities, so it is impossible to completely copy the original light and shadow effect in the image picture. This requires the creator to carry out light and shadow processing according to his own subjective and aesthetic interests, and create a sense of rhythm. For example, gerhard richter will weaken the background light in the picture, and then highlight the light intensity of people and books in the picture. In this way, there is a very obvious contrast between the characters and the background. The brightness of the book is the most prominent, followed by the characters, and finally the background, thus producing a very strong three-dimensional picture hierarchy. The picture clearly presents a three-layer layout of black, white and gray, which has a strong visual appeal. The oil painting created by this technique is unique and a fascinating painting language different from other oil painting languages, which opens up a new field for traditional oil painting creation.

Four. conclusion
