Stylistic characteristics of impressionism

Creation method:

It is advocated that the instantaneous impression of nature should be reflected according to the seven colors of red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple in the solar spectrum. Impressionist works choose a wide range of themes, and painters try to capture the ever-changing nature in cities and villages.

From an artistic point of view:

Impressionist painters opposed the classical academic school, which occupied the orthodox position at that time, and opposed the romanticism that was increasingly falling into cliché s and affectation. But under the impetus of the realistic painting style of Koro, barbizon School and Courbet, it absorbed the nutrition of paintings from Holland, Britain, Spain, Japan and China, and was inspired by modern science, especially optics. They think that all colors are produced by light, so they are based on. Because light is changing rapidly, they think that only by grasping the flash of light can we uncover the mystery of nature. Therefore, in painting, we pay attention to the study and expression of external light, advocate going outdoors and painting under the sun according to the observation of the eyes and the direct feeling of the scene, so as to show the subtle changes of the color of the object under the light. Therefore, impressionist painting changed from black to bright in the treatment of shadows.

Blue, purple and other colors. Impressionist painting replaced the simple lines and surfaces of traditional painting with dots, thus realizing the description of light that traditional painting could not achieve. Specifically, when we observe impressionist paintings at close range, we will see many different dots with messy colors, but when we observe them at a distance, these dots will gather together like seven colors of light, giving people the feeling of light and achieving unexpected results.

Impressionist painters are divided into two types because of their different personal interests: emphasizing light and color, emphasizing modeling and sketching. The former is represented by Monet and Renoir, while the latter is represented by Degas, with Camille pissarro in between.

Attention should be paid to oil painting creation:

1. Impressionist painters, because they pursue the expression of external light and color, mainly describe more people and natural scenery in reality with trivial matters and direct experiences around them as their themes. In composition, more fragments or scenes of objective images are intercepted to deal with the picture, which breaks the boundary between sketching and creation.

2. In the long process of sketching, these painters found that light has a great influence on color: different weather, different seasons and different times, the same scenery will show different colors and different tones, and physical optics has also been discovered by scientists, who have a new scientific understanding of color changes in the air.

3. For example, in the same church, painters in different periods draw different color effects. When the sun shines, the part of the object irradiated by the sun is influenced by the light source, and it will be biased to the color of the light source. The backlight or projection is not gray, but has rich color composition; For another example, the forest in autumn is golden yellow, and the trunks and stones covered with golden yellow are purple instead of the original color, and so on. Painters apply these color laws to their paintings, and "chromatics" comes into being.

Impressionist representative works:

Impressionist oil painting skills are very difficult, not only need to use a special way of oil painting pen, dipped in different colors, different thicknesses, but also can make different pictures. Not only that, the lines of oil painting can be more obvious and beautiful by using the tapping method of fan-shaped pen dipped in color. Through dozens of different painting methods, this writer made his impressionist oil paintings vivid and deeply rooted in people's hearts, and won unanimous praise from many painters. But impressionist oil painting is very expensive, and it will cost a lot of money to buy it.
