Pigment itself: oil painting is oily pigment, which is tinted with oil, and ink is used for Chinese painting, or Chinese painting pigment (including mineral pigment and plant pigment)
Image quality: oil painting is painted on linen and other fabrics, and Chinese painting is made of rice paper
Style of painting: oil painting is covered many times, generally thick, abstract, concrete and impressive; Some Chinese paintings have blank spaces, some have inscriptions, and most of them are not realistic.
Oil paintings belong to western paintings, and Chinese paintings are native to China, which should be well distinguished from
mounting: oil paintings have frames without glass lenses; Some Chinese paintings have glass frames and some are scrolls. They have no frames and lenses, and can be rolled up and carried easily.
Chinese paintings can have four seasons in one painting. Scattered perspective. The line itself contains a spirit. Oil painting can only use focus perspective.
Chinese painting: referred to as "Chinese painting", is a unique system in Chengdu in the world art field. It uses brush, ink and Chinese painting pigments to paint on special Xuan paper or silk. There are figure painting, landscape painting, flower and bird (flower) painting and animal painting in the subject matter. In terms of techniques, it can be cited as meticulous painting and freehand painting, 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. did not form painting materials independently until the Sui and Tang Dynasties. By the Five Dynasties and the Song Dynasty, there were many schools, which were highly developed. Metaphysical ink painting is popular. In Ming, Qing and modern times, the former regulations were generally recorded. In each period, there have been 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 colors are actively used to express the shape and texture, which is highly expressive, and combined with poetry, prose and calligraphy seal cutting to achieve a vivid effect of "both form and spirit". In addition, Chinese painting has a unique mounting form, which plays a role in setting off the painting body.
Oil painting uses transparent vegetable oil to blend pigments, and creates artistic images on materials such as cloth, paper, and boards that have been made. It originated and developed in Europe, and became an important painting in the world in modern times.
The emergence of oil painting
Before the 15th century, the egg-colored painting in European painting was the precursor of oil painting. While using the egg-colored painting method, many painters continue to look for more rational concoctions. On the basis of previous attempts to dissolve pigments in oil, linseed oil and walnut oil were used as blending agents to paint, which made the painting smooth, the pigment dried on the screen for a moderate time, and it was easy to cover and modify it many times in the painting process, forming rich color levels and glossiness. After drying, the pigment had strong adhesion and was 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 in other western European countries, especially in Venice, Italy.
materials and tools the main materials and tools of oil painting are pigments, brushes, knives, canvases, varnishes, frames and so on.
① pigments can be divided into two categories: minerals and chemical synthesis. Most of the original pigments were mineral pigments, which were ground into fine powder by hand and blended when painting. In modern times, it was produced in batches by factories and put into tin tubes, and the types of pigments were also increasing. The properties of pigments are related to the chemical components contained in them. When mixing colors, chemical action will cause adverse reactions between some pigments. Therefore, mastering the properties of pigments is helpful to give full play to oil painting skills and make the colors of works remain unchanged for a long time.
② Brush, made of animal hair with moderate elasticity, has various types, such as sharp-pointed round, flat-pointed flat, short-pointed flat and fan-shaped.
③ Painting knives, also known as palette knives, are made of elastic thin steel sheets, which can be divided into sharp and round shapes, and are used to evenly mix the pigments on the palette. Many painters also use knives instead of pens to paint directly or partially on the canvas to increase the expressive force.
④ Canvas, a standard canvas, is made by stretching linen or canvas on a wooden inner frame, mixing it with white powder with glue or oil and brushing it on the surface of the cloth. Generally, it is made into a foundation that does not absorb oil and has a certain pattern effect, or it is made into a foundation that absorbs oil semi-or completely according to the needs of creation. The thickness of the cloth pattern depends on the size of the frame and the needs of the painting effect. Some painters use canvas painted with background color, which is easy to form a unified picture tone, and can also inadvertently reveal the background color when painting. After priming, wood or cardboard that does not absorb oil can also replace canvas.
⑤ varnish, usually after the oil painting is finished and dried, cover it with varnish to keep the gloss of the picture and prevent air erosion and fouling.
⑥ outer frame, a complete oil painting includes outer frame, especially the oil painting with strong realism, which forms the boundary of the viewer's view of the work, making the picture appear complete and concentrated, and the objects in the painting develop in depth in the viewer's feeling. The thickness and size of the picture frame depend on the content of the work. The outer frames of classical oil paintings are mostly made of wood and gypsum, while the outer frames of modern oil paintings are mostly made of metal materials such as aluminum alloy.
Chinese painting mainly uses lines, outlines and elegant pictures to achieve artistic conception, while oil painting mainly uses light and shadow, truthfulness and vivid pictures from realism. Moreover, the pigments used in their paintings are also different. Chinese paintings mainly use pigments with more moisture and elegant colors; Oil painting mainly uses pigments with high viscosity and bright colors. The picture of Chinese painting gives people a feeling of imagination, elegance and calmness, while oil painting gives people a feeling of true three-dimensional color and lightness.
