How many kinds of oil painting composition can be divided into?

Composition classification of oil painting creation;

1,“V”？ Glyph composition: indicates instability and moves down. The three sisters nearby depicted in the painting "Sailing on Xitai Island" are each going to sail to Xitai Island with their lovers, seeking heaven and eternal love. The aristocratic men and women in the distance are talking and laughing, and are preparing to board the ship.

2. Pyramid composition: It implies a feeling of stability, integrity, safety and firmness, such as the Medusa raft by the French painter Jericho. In the picture, the survivors on the sail and raft just form a triangle, which becomes the center of the picture, showing the audience the scene of survivors drifting at sea after the ship sank.

Some people died on the raft, lying there quietly, some people shouted at the distance in order to continue to live, and some people sat on the raft at a loss ...? …? And a bunch of people who are swinging their arms forward have broken through the shackles of a stable triangle and formed a turbulent and passionate triangle.

3, zigzag composition: showing pain, tension, difficulty and danger. Giotto's "Escape to Egypt", in this painting, Giotto completely abandoned the medieval painting customs and stopped sticking to the rigid requirements of the past. The characters in the painting are strong and full of secular human feelings.

The donkey is carrying a mother with a child in her hand, and her husband is pulling the donkey along the country road. There are also many people passing by on the road. This work is a work that shows ordinary life. The zigzag composition technique is used to highlight the tension of the picture, and the danger on the escape road is vividly expressed.

4. Diagonal expression: Diagonal expression shows a feeling of strenuous exercise and instability. Turner's "The Meeting of the Thames and the Medway River" is painted at the mouth of the North Sea of the Thames, which is also a smaller river, increasing the wave intensity in the sea area.

Turner artificially added more light to strengthen the intensity of the storm, and the ship on the right side of the picture was particularly bright against the dark clouds. In fact, the sun is covered by dark clouds in this weather, and it is impossible for the sun to be strong enough to refract these ships so obviously. He used diagonal lines to show the ship's struggle in the storm.

Extended data:

Lavr Fabry, a famous American painter, summed up several common composition taboos in the long-term painting process, which is worth learning.

A. Symmetry method: it refers to arranging the subject and object on the central axis of the whole picture, so that the two sides of the subject and object are generally symmetrical, and arranging local changes in the overall symmetrical balance.

However, in the oil painting landscape, symmetrical composition forms rarely appear, and even if they exist, they are not absolutely symmetrical. Always use one or two objects to break this symmetrical form. However, symmetry is a common method in paper-cutting and serious theme picture art.

B. Balance method: Balance method is embodied in the position arrangement of subject and subordinate in the picture. From a physical point of view, it is to use the lever principle to present a state of balance, and to use the direction of force to make people achieve psychological balance. If the picture is heavy on one side and light on the other, it will make people feel uncomfortable. This is imbalance, imbalance. This requires us to pay attention to this when choosing scenery.

C. Harmony method: Interspersing various forms of the picture, on the one hand, achieves the harmony of composition, on the other hand, it is also the harmony of the color of the picture, but too much harmony will make the picture look weak.

At this time, appropriate contrast can be arranged, which requires more consideration of color matching in composition. This is especially important in oil painting landscape. In addition to the arrangement of the position of objects in the picture at the beginning of painting, it is another point worthy of great attention in the oil painting landscape.

D contrast method: the contrast in oil painting landscape includes the size contrast between objects in the picture, the size contrast between color blocks, the contrast between light and shade, and the contrast between cold and warm colors. Complementary contrast is the focus of oil painting landscape.

E. Proportion: The proportion factors between objects in the oil painting landscape should be orderly. The size arrangement between general forms is to put the hit and high objects in the back, and the low and small objects in the front of the picture. Dark and bright objects are not equal in size and quantity. The arrangement of three or more objects cannot be in a straight line, and the distance between them cannot be equal.

F. Repetition: In the oil painting landscape, there are many repetitive objects, such as trees and flowers. Repeated objects make people feel the vitality of life, and repetition deepens the impression. Hai Mo's repetition, for example, makes people feel the greatness and infinity of power.

However, once there are repeated objects, we should pay attention to the differences between the objects and not draw too monotonous. Rigid and repeated objects appear in the picture at the same time, so they should be changed in size, distance and distribution position, otherwise the picture will lose its vitality and become monotonous.

G. change and unity: this law can be regarded as the central law in the above laws, and it is also a point that must be paid attention to in the later stage of a painting. The picture of a painting is always limited, but what does it depend on to depict all kinds of objects in a small picture? It depends on the change. Therefore, the picture is limited, but the change is infinite.

If we go out to sketch, only unity does not change, then it will be dull. On the other hand, if there is more change than unity, the counties will be dispersed. The above composition rules are very important in oil painting landscape. When painting, we must strictly grasp the principles. If we use them correctly, we can make fewer or no formal aesthetic mistakes in our composition.
