In the art of painting, regardless of the style or technique, the treatment of the edge line has always been seen as a crucial part. Especially in the creation of oil paintings, the treatment of marginal lines not only has a profound impact on the visual effect of the paintings, but also is an important means for artists to express their creative ideas and emotions.
First of all, the processing of edge lines plays a key role in shaping the shape of the objects in the picture. In oil painting, the edge line is the boundary that defines the inner and outer contours of an object, and its changes in thickness, virtual and solid, and curved and straight directly affect the sense of space, three-dimensionality and texture of the picture. Through the careful treatment of the marginal lines, the painter can better highlight the subject and create a profound sense of space.
Secondly, the treatment of edge lines is also related to the overall harmony and unity of the picture. In oil painting, the edge line is the key to connecting the various elements, and by dealing with the edge line, the painter can balance the various elements in the picture, so that the picture can achieve the effect of harmony and unity. At the same time, through the contrast between virtual and real and the change of thickness of the edge line, it can also guide the audience's line of sight and enhance the sense of hierarchy and dynamics of the picture.
In addition, the treatment of marginal lines is an important means for artists to express their creative ideas and emotions. In oil painting, the edge line is the medium of projection and communication of the artist's emotions. By personalizing the edges, each artist can reveal their own unique artistic style and emotional world. Whether it is a rigid and sharp edge line, or a soft and blurred edge line, it is the intuitive embodiment of the artist's emotional expression.
In general, the treatment of the edge lines of oil painting is not only related to the overall effect of the picture, but also the embodiment of the artist's emotional expression and creative concept. Therefore, for oil painters, mastering the skills of handling edge lines is the key to improving the level of painting art.
