Western painting, including oil paintings, wood, copperplate, drawings, watercolors, gouache and other painting species. One painting is the expression, practicality and decoration of the strongest kind of painting.

Oil painting on its subject matter can be divided into theme paintings, genre paintings, landscape paintings, portraits and still life paintings. But no matter what kind of theme, works mainly rely on modeling and color two elements. In other words, the use of oil painting is the shape, light, color, the three means of expression.
Shape, that is, shape. This requires the artist must first have the ability to shape, have a deep sketch skills. Not a good sketch basis, in order to draw a good painting, as there is no foundation of the tall buildings, is not stand up.
Light, that is, the performance of light effects. After the rise of French Impressionism, sparked the research and performance of light. The artist's understanding of light tends to be scientific and rational. So the performance of light and shadow will be more vivid and vivid. Light and light are the important elements of the atmosphere. This is just the look of the theater stage lighting effect is not difficult to understand.
The most important element in painting is color. The color is different from the color on the palette. Painters never put the color on the palette, that is, factory-made paint, intact on the canvas. These colors must be painstakingly art to be carefully modulated, in order to achieve the color of soft, realistic, color and color with the harmony between the unity. This is what people usually call the tone or tone. The color of a painting can not be random patchwork of colorful, can not be numerous and complicated, dazzling, and should form a color can reflect the tendency, and change for no reason, subtle and delicate picture effect.
Hue is the soul of oil painting. No tone, that is to say, if a painting does not form a tone, there is no harmony and unity of the changing color combinations, then this painting can be said to fail to pass the line.
In addition to the above requirements, the painting also pay attention to composition, strokes, rhythm, etc., here is not elaborate.

Modern oil painting creation is broadly divided into two categories: abstract painting and figurative painting.
The so-called abstract oil painting, that is, the performance of the screen deprived of copying the shape of natural objects, replaced by an idea, the image of the performance. This painting does not have the specific nature of the image, only color, lines, points and so on. Readers only from the combination of these color blocks lead to association and imagination. Such as Alphonse Marie Mucha works belong to this one.
Often, people have a misunderstanding that Impressionism, Fauvism, Futurism is called abstract painting. In fact, these art schools, but break the framework of realism, classicism, and did not take the image out, at best only to the reality of the image of modern performance, to deformation and exaggeration Bale.
