Precautions in landscape oil painting

Landscape painting is a spiritual home for humans to return to nature. Excellent landscape painting often places human attachment to the space in which they live and boundless affection for truth, good and beauty. The landscape and still life sketch methods are identical, but with minor differences. But since natural landscapes have distinguished an air of elegance and coquetry, we may not treat them like a bunch of still life as preset choices to cater to their own needs. Almost all natural landscapes are naturally grown, all we can do is seek and discover in these ordinary landscapes – to experience a sense of extraordinary beauty in the huts, roads, haystacks and some smoke.
We should pay special attention to the following aspects when doing landscape painting:

1. Conception

Landscape Painting must first have a clear conception, that is, to create a mood. Everything else like color, shape and intensity of care is around this conception. At the same time, we can also through such practice learn to use the scenery to express our own emotions, so that we can stand at a higher starting point at the start.

2. Tone

Grasping of tones is the key to making a good landscape painting. If the landscape is compared to the symphony, the tone should be the main melody of the song. Careful analysis must be given to the change in the color of objects, and the riotous nature of color must be made into a unified tone, which seems to be a contradiction and that is also the significance of our landscape sketch.

When grasping the tone, we must achieve quick action. First of all the intricate scene is divided into large blocks of color, especially for colors that are very close to each other have to depart to some extent. For example, the difference between water and sky is also very clear. 3. Level room Level and room painting should receive special attention. In general, a complete landscape painting should include far, center and near scenery. The main sights are often placed in the center and near one is usually treated harshly.

4. Detailed depictions

Detailed descriptions should be kept away from steep undertakings. Since outdoor sketches usually have a certain amount of time, we don’t need to (or) focus on serious depictions of the scene. We only need to draw the basic shape features of the object. What is more important is to try and understand the charm of the pen type.

5. Operation sunshine

Operation Sunshine is an important subject of landscape painting. Because the angle of sunlight changes so much, the color-light relationship actually changes in an hour or two. Therefore, it requires us to be able to quickly sketch to see.

The sun’s color changes from time to time. Even at the same time, it can also be divided into positive and negative sides of irradiation and radiation. In each type of light, the color reaction is very different. From sketching a bale in the sun at a different time from Monet, we can get some useful insight. Observing carefully and distinguishing different colors under different lights can make us avoid processing the concept of “sun care”.

6. The scenery of the four seasons Spring, summer, autumn, and winter appear before us in different colors.

Oil painting students must recognize the clear differences between them and at the same time be aware of the different feelings in different weather, scenes and environments even in the same season. It can only go through a lot of sketches to appreciate slowly.

7. Small landscape practice Painting hand-sized landscape practice is the most convenient way for us to study landscape painting.

Due to the pocket format, we can pay attention to practice anytime and anywhere. If the average is half an hour of painting into a piece, so no matter how busy a person is he can always spend half an hour doing this. If you average every day with paintings, then after a long period of time there will be hundreds of paintings. So we can greatly exercise our ability to understand the ever changing color tones of nature.
