Figure painting pays more attention to verve, perhaps the anatomical proportion is slightly deviated, and the modeling structure is slightly less rigorous, but it is full of charm and gives people a spiritual consistency.

Oil painting is a kind of western painting, which pays attention to the perspective relationship, the proportion of characters and the change of color, so the characters drawn are very real, but oil painting is not suitable for painting large-scale scenery, because it is a focus perspective and is only suitable for seeing the scenery from a certain point. If you want to draw a big landscape painting, you must use scattered perspective. The reason why Chinese painting is suitable for painting landscapes is precisely because of the scattered perspective method. Now many foreigners paint landscapes and learn from China's methods.

As for gouache painting, the characteristics of the method are the same as those of oil painting, but the types of pigments are different. Gouache pigment is cheaper than oil painting pigment, and it dries quickly, but when it dries, it turns gray, and the bottom color is easily reflected on it, so it is suitable for novices or people who are not very rich. Now most students are scholars before they go to college. Pigment itself: Oil painting is an oily pigment, which is colored with oil, Chinese painting ink or Chinese painting pigments (including mineral pigments and plant pigments).

The themes are figure painting, landscape painting, flower and bird painting and animal painting. In terms of techniques, it can be cited as meticulous brushwork and freehand brushwork, each with its own way and characteristics. In terms of figure painting, it gradually matured from the late Zhou Dynasty to the Han, Wei and Six Dynasties. Mountains and rivers, flowers and birds, etc. It was not until the Sui and Tang Dynasties that painting materials were independently formed. By the Five Dynasties and the Song Dynasty, there were many schools and they were highly developed. Metaphysical ink painting is very popular. In Ming, Qing and modern times, the former regulations were generally recorded. In each period, there are many innovative painters. In the field of world art or Chinese painting, it has a distinctive national form and unique style. In depicting objects, lines and ink are actively used to express body and texture, which is very expressive, and combined with poetry, prose and calligraphy seal cutting to achieve a vivid effect of "both form and spirit".

The appearance of oil painting

15th century ago, the egg-colored painting in European painting was the predecessor of oil painting. While using the egg color painting method, many painters continue to look for a more rational mixture. It is generally believed that/kloc-brothers Jan Van Ike, a painter from the Netherlands at the beginning of the 5th century, were the founders of oil painting techniques. On the basis of their previous attempts to dissolve pigments in oil, they used linseed oil and walnut oil as blending agents to paint, which made the painting smooth, the drying time of pigments on the screen moderate, and it was easy to cover and modify them many times in the painting process, forming rich color levels and glossiness. After drying, the pigment has strong adhesion and is not easy to peel off and fade. They used new oil painting materials to create, which was very influential in the painting world at that time. Oil painting technology soon spread to other western European countries, especially Venice, Italy.

Chinese painting mainly uses lines, outlines and elegant pictures to achieve artistic conception, while oil painting mainly uses realistic light and shadow, real and bright pictures. Besides, they paint different pigments. Chinese painting mainly uses pigments with rich water and elegant colors; Oil painting mainly uses pigments with high viscosity and bright colors. The picture of traditional Chinese painting gives people an imaginative, elegant and calm feeling, while oil painting gives people a true three-dimensional color and a light feeling.
