First of all, we should be able to identify and describe the so-called true colors that are close to the objective images.
Secondly, it can distinguish and recognize the subtle relationship between cold and warm in the color of objective objects.
Third, it can perceive the whole tone of the specific artistic conception with some perceptual factors that exist in front of the eyes.
Here simply from the \"art processing\" and \"the use of techniques\" two aspects to talk about.
1. Setting the tone
This is the key to a painting, the different tone determines the mood of the picture, artistic conception and style. This is often related to the artist's artistic view and ideal, temperament, personality, emotion and other factors. The simple tone mainly refers to the color tendency of the painting. It is generally divided into cold tones and warm tones, and of course, it can also be called red tones, green tones or blue tones according to the hue.
\"Autumn rhyme\" is the standard warm tone: lemon yellow, earthy yellow, orange yellow, orange red, ochre, ripe brown is a series of related colors, in the picture there are some lavender, set off to make yellow more dazzling, the meaning of autumn deeper.
There is also an intermediate tone called gray tone. This tone often shows the morning or rain and fog weather, whether it is cold gray or warm gray, the contrast is always weak, giving people a hazy, mysterious, moist feeling, such as \"drawing water\".
2. Control of virtual reality
Dripping water, concise color, free and easy brush is the main characteristics of watercolor painting, ethereal, moist characteristics can use the expansion of water, flow, penetration, etc., resulting in a large area of halo, giving a hazy feeling, while setting off the foreground, resulting in a strong contrast between the virtual and real, such as \"Zijin Lanshan\" and \"Shaoxing after rain\".
The sense of space, the sense of distance can also be combined with reality to show, such as \"water restaurant\
Second, the use of techniques
The use of techniques can show the effect that conventional brushes cannot express. Different techniques can produce different textures, and different textures can produce different spatial effects, strange, changeable, natural, vivid, gorgeous... Thus producing a variety of different, unpredictable poetic effect.
1. Salt method
As the name suggests, everyday salt is used for the effect treatment of the picture. The salt can be coarse or fine; Sprinkle more or less; The time to scatter can be early or late. However, it should be used when the picture is not completely dry. The performance of broken waves, mottled rocks, rain and snow weather is often used, such as the use of salt in the \"pigeon song\" to show the flying snow.
2. Knife scraping method
The method of scraping the screen with a knife. The knife can be used as a palette knife for painting oil, or a homemade broadback thick knife. Different parts, different forces can be scraped out of different effects.
Use the knife to scrape out the dark line can also scrape out the bright line: in the background is not dry, can scrape out the light-colored tree trunk; If the paper is scratched, due to the color of the remaining, it will scrape out a deeper black line than the background, the following \"autumn day\" in the depth of the tree is scraped out with a knife. When the background is dry, white will appear when the knife cuts the paper surface, and this method is mostly used in the position of the blank for remediation.
3. Flushing method
This is also done on a dark background. Can be carried out at any stage of the picture, natural and poetic. Such as \"rural love\
The large amount of water can be rushed out of the trunk, branches, etc., natural and vivid, like heaven, such as the trunk of the following \"dream\" is completed by flushing method.
When the large area of the picture is dark, and the irregular area needs to be left blank, the wax method can be used. The white wax is first applied naturally in the position that needs to be left white, and then it can be boldly colored, and the position of the wax is still white after coloring. It can be used to show the rough and ancient texture of the waves, such as the waves in the \"Beidaihe Scenery\".
5. Comprehensive techniques
Combined with the previous methods and kneading method, precipitation method, spraying method and other different techniques of use.
In short, the process of painting is a process of using water and color, and it is also a process of dialogue between the painter's heart and the white painting paper. Sometimes it is necessary to pour ink and pile gold, and more often it is necessary to point and stop, and carry over. The treatment of art determines the quality of the picture, the use of appropriate techniques becomes a touching detail composition, and sometimes the fine detail treatment will become the key to the dominant picture.
To create a good work, we must first understand its characteristics, which are shared below.
The creation of every artistic field is related to its own culture and humanistic tradition. By studying the artistic works of the masters of a particular era in a country, we can gain insight into some social status at that time, because the works of the artists are all the feelings of the citizens of that society at that time. The history of Chinese painting is relatively long, but it has been handed down to the present, and the most important characteristics and principles are still the basic principles that are followed from one generation to the next. Compared with Western oil painting, there are also some differences.
\"Invisible elephant\" is the basic aesthetic concept of our Chinese nation, which means that the more grand and beautiful the image, the more ethereal and no fixed image, we respect the beauty of nature, rather than man-made beauty. The universe and heaven and earth are very large and beautiful, but they have no fixed image, and as a painter, they cannot be depicted, so they can only be expressed in a subtle and multidimensional way, and the rest is left to the imagination of the viewer. The universe in one's mind is as big as one's imagination.
Starting from this aesthetic concept, if speaking of Chinese painting, people's first reaction will think of ink freehand painting, which is to create the general outline of the object through concise and concise brushwork and ink method, reflecting a kind of \"like and not like\" formal beauty and implicit beauty, because this aesthetic feature conforms to the Chinese aesthetic standards, in line with the invisible aesthetic concept of elephants. If the ink painting is too full and realistic, it is to lose these interests.
However, not all Chinese paintings are very ethereal and concise, Chinese paintings before the middle of the Song Dynasty is also very realistic, in addition to the absence of light and shadow relationship and three-dimensional sense of painting, in the degree of fidelity and structural accuracy, no less than Western realistic oil paintings. However, from the middle of the Song Dynasty, \"literati painting\" developed vigorously, literati painting ignored the appearance, the pursuit of charm, artistic conception and the expression of the interest of ink, while paying attention to the cultivation of non-painting skills. Under such a background, Chinese painting moved from realism to freehand.
Oil painting has been developed in the West for more than 600 years, and at least 500 years have been walking the road of \"realism\
However, Western oil painting developed to the end of the 19th century, the road to realism has gone through a long 500 years, and the techniques to explore have been tried by one painter after another, and there is no way to create a better realistic method. Therefore, Western oil painters take the initiative to broaden their artistic vision and absorb the freehand nature of Eastern painting into oil painting creation. Finally realized the transformation of western oil painting to modernity.
Whether it is Chinese painting or oil painting, it is constantly changing between realism and freehand brushwork according to the aesthetic taste and aesthetic concept of different times.
