Dear art lovers, hello everyone! Today I am very happy to be able to ** the theme of "how to draw a simple oil painting" with you. As one of the main genres of Western painting, oil painting is deeply loved by people for its rich colors and unique textures. Next, I will lead you step by step into the world of oil painting.
1. Preparation of materials.
First of all, we need to prepare some basic painting materials:
1.Oil paints: Beginners can choose a 12-color or 24-color oil paint set, which should contain basic colors such as white, chrome yellow, lemon yellow, crimson, rose red, ultramarine, plain blue, emerald green, olive green, ripe brown, black, etc.
2.Canvas: Pre-stretched canvas or artboard, with different textures and sizes to your liking.
3.Brushes: Prepare brushes of different sizes and shapes, such as flat-tipped brushes, round-tipped brushes, pointed brushes, etc.
4.Color Palette: Used to blend pigments.
5.Thinners: such as turpentine or oil painting diluents, which are used to dilute pigments and clean brushes.
6.Easels and color palettes: make the painting process more comfortable and convenient.
2. Composition design.
Before we start painting, we need to conceive the picture. This includes:
1.Subject Determination: Choose a simple subject, such as a still life, landscape, or portrait.
2.Sketching: Gently sketch out the basic shape and structure of the subject on the canvas, paying attention to the perspective relationships and proportions in the picture.
3.Light and dark distribution: Determine the position of the light source, draw the shadows and highlights of the object, and enhance the three-dimensional effect.
3. Color matching.
The charm of oil painting lies in the richness and expressiveness of its colors. For starters, you can start with the following:
1.Color Theory: Understand basic color theory such as color wheels, complementary colors, adjacent colors, etc.
2.Pigment mixing: Try mixing different colors on the palette and watch the colors change.
3.Color Practice: Practice color matching on canvas by starting with simple blocks of color and progressing to complex color variations.
Fourth, coloring skills.
Coloring is the most central part of oil painting, and here are some basic techniques:
1.Thin coating technique: Use a thinner to dilute the pigment and lay the underlying color, taking care to maintain the transparency and lightness of the color.
2.Impasto technique: After the underlying color has dried, the undiluted pigment is used to depict the details and texture to form a rich texture effect.
3.Layering: Through the superposition of multiple layers of color, the shape and depth of the object are gradually shaped, and each layer of color must wait for the previous layer to dry before proceeding.
5. Completion and preservation.
Once you have finished painting, you need to keep your work in a safe place:
1.Drying time: Oil paintings take a certain amount of time to dry, usually ranging from a few weeks to a few months, depending on the pigment layer thickness and environmental conditions.
2.Protective measures: After the picture is completely dry, you can use professional oil painting varnish to protect it to enhance the saturation of colors and the durability of the picture.
Through the above steps, I believe you have a certain understanding of the drawing of simple oil paintings. Oil painting is not only a skill, but also an artistic way to express oneself and feel life. I hope my sharing can inspire everyone's enthusiasm for oil painting creation, pick up the brush and start your artistic journey!
