In the creation of traditional cultural oil paintings

Modeling, color, light and shadow, brush strokes are the elements that should be considered when creating and appreciating oil paintings. Modeling can make the external image of oil painting meet the requirements of authenticity through scientific and realistic means, while color can not only show the accuracy of modeling, but also show the painter's emotions and thoughts and enhance the visual impact. Light, shadow and brush strokes are essential elements to reflect the sense of rhythm and rhythm of the picture. At the same time, the combination of brush strokes and colors can show strong subjective feelings.

From beginning to end, color plays a very important role in oil painting. In the mid-Renaissance, Titian, a master of Venetian painting school, was the first painter who paid attention to color perception. Since then, from baroque, rococo, romanticism to impressionism, color has become more and more important in oil painting.

(Renoir's works)

Especially in the impressionist era, the role of color rose to the top of oil painting creation, which made a good start for oil painting to enter modernity.

Actually, color is a double-edged sword. If used well, it can improve the interest of the picture. If you don't use it well, the picture will appear messy, jumping, patchwork and without theme. In the final analysis, the colors in the picture come together and take harmony as the benchmark.

(Renoir, a girl meditating by the river)

Chinese painting is often divided into thick ink, light ink, dry ink, wet ink and dry ink, that is, first draw thick ink or light ink on paper, and then apply light ink or thick ink on the basis of thick ink or light ink. When they are dry, the picture can see the layering of thick ink and light ink, which makes the picture reflect a natural rhythm, which the viewer does not have.

Oil painting and Chinese painting are both visual arts, and the painting principle is actually the same, and both adopt certain methods to prevent the conflict and restriction of screen colors.

In this sense, oil painting cannot be colored with the same color or tone. When each color or tone is used in different parts of the picture, it should be clearly distinguished, where it is light and where it is heavy, and it should fit the theme of the picture. At this point, we can refer to the oil painting colors of Van Gogh and Renoir.
