Appreciation of Levitan's oil paintings

"Golden Sunset" oil painting on canvas

Author, Levitan

This is a landscape painting by the lake where the sun is about to set, at dusk. The setting sun made the sky and water surface golden. The same color of water and sky is vividly expressed in this painting. The grass on the shore is painted very dark, creating a contrast between light and dark. A good article needs to connect the previous and the next. The connection between the previous and the following works is just right.

The water surface obviously uses a thin painting method, while the heavy colors on the shore use a thick painting method. The author only used simple sky, water and shore to make this painting come alive. Therefore, a good painting does not necessarily have to be that complicated.

"Farming at Sunset"

Author: Levitan

Levitan's landscape paintings generally use ordinary rural scenery as the theme. Giving nature a special meaning, Leviathan is so keen in front of nature, and nature is so vivid in Leviathan's eyes. It seems that every ordinary corner is full of poetry and painting. Levitan was clearly felt in the south. Only the sun can change the hue of colors. The greatest power of sketching lies in the sunlight. The beauty of Russia's gray natural scenery is precisely because of the sunshine. It's just that he became fainter after passing through the layer of moist air and thin clouds.

This painting "Farming at Sunset" was painted after he returned from studying in the south. From his studies, he learned to simplify. So his works since then have been relatively simple. The sun appears to be setting on the horizon in the painting. There are also farmers and cattle plowing. Just such a simple picture can show the hard work of farming

"Evening after the Rain"

Author. Levitan

Because Levitan Vitan paints with his life and emotions, so each of his paintings is a lyric poem because it contains his rich emotions. In this painting, in the evening after the rain, the dark clouds have not yet dispersed, and the evening sun struggles to shine through the gray clouds. The ground was washed clean by the fresh rain. Reflecting the golden light in the sky, it seems that it is not only cleaning the ground, but also people's hearts.

The darkness of dark clouds after the rain shrouded the ground, and only the area on the ground illuminated by the afterglow of the setting sun was warm and bright. This piece of light forms a clear contrast between light and dark and the dark side of the entire picture. Contrast of color and structure. The colors in the painting are steady, calm and transparent. It's a romantic evening.
