What kinds of paintings are there in art

Chinese painting, also known as ink painting, includes figure painting, landscape painting and Buddha painting. Among them, figure painting is mainly based on figures, including lady painting, portrait painting, genre painting and so on. The most representative work of ladies' painting is "The Picture of Hairpin and Phoenix", while "The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" belongs to genre painting.

There is no doubt that landscape painting is a painting depicting the natural beauty of mountains and rivers. Ancient landscape painting is particularly remarkable, with pen and ink as the mainstay and vivid images. Fuchun Shan Jutu is one of the representative works of landscape painting. There are two kinds of Buddhist paintings: portraits and Buddhist story paintings. Among them, portraits are divided into Buddha statues, Bodhisattva statues and arhat statues. And the story is a comic book about monks in temples.

Western painting can be divided into two categories: colored and colorless, among which oil painting and sketch are typical representatives. Oil painting is rich in color, and the things it draws are lifelike, but with different concerns, the feeling of oil painting will be completely different. For example, some painters pay attention to the sense of light, and the paintings presented are bright and dark; Some painters pay attention to realism and present a more layered picture. Mona Lisa's Smile is a typical realistic representative of oil painting. A very profound painting fully shows the effect of oil painting and exudes a mysterious atmosphere.

Sketch, with the simplest tools and colors, draws the basic shape of an object and reaches a pure artistic realm. It is the simplest but truest form of expression in painting. Sketch is inextricably linked with the spatial structure in mathematics, and the so-called three-dimensional sense and spatial sense all come from sketch. At first, we should start with sketch, which can cultivate our basic ability of painting and is also a key for us to discover the art world.
