Appreciation and analyse of the World oil painting (B)

Just look at the portrait painting, each tree trunk, leave is finely painted, light and shade in the dense thickets around floating down the pond, quiet, fine but dense. Reservoirs is very quiet, even though it's a pool of shallow water but it seems unfathomable, this is because the artists put it into a large bush, with no glossy's reflection. The whole picture, full of poetry, as if another world away from the earth. However, in the future, we can see the two oak wilt, one fall, which end is submerged in the pond; the other one has a broken wounds. All this makes the audience see one who does not appear - the nature-destructed human-made "results." Here the artist condemned destruction of the natural behavior through the poetic images.

Works of artist Lorraine " the Queen of Sheba on board"

Three representatives of French painting in the seventeenth century , Poussin, Lorrain, and lost Kay have a common interesting phenomenon , that is nearly all of them spent their lives in Italy, learning the Italian art, but infiltrating the French art to their own national identity, which has a direct impact on Italy, while they represent the highest achievement of French painting.

Lorraine went to Italy, having his own special experience. He was formerly known as Claude • Qiaonai (1600 ** 1682), was born in Lorraine region of Franc, Xia Mani village, was an orphan, a cattle boy. At the age of thirteen, he followed a group of chefs to Rome, become a servant of painter Argus Ventnor • Darcy (1580 ** 1644). The chance made him expose to painting. Despite his low education level, but his perception of the portrait painting was high, showed rare talent when studying painting from Darcy.
How could the low level education painter ranked high in the painting? Mainly because of his achievements in landscape painting, having a unique artistic style, his straightforward,

enthusiastic. If we say Poussin (seventeenth-century chief of French painting) was known at putting the natural landscapes, mountains and trees as the ideal integrated whole, becoming a natural great force, then Lorraine was known depicting the sea scenery and the port , his paintings like a classical music filled with quiet atmosphere. Lorrain's paintings often depicted Greek and Roman classical building, quiet and deep; at the same time, he was pursuing the role of light in landscapes, using light changes, to make the screen full of life, at this point, made Poussin’s landscapes obviously inferior. This "Queen of Sheba on board" just fully showed the above characteristics.
Historical theme the portrait painting based was not important, but only a landscape subject. According to "The Bible," the tenth century BC, the Queen of Sheba Kingdom ascended the throne in Solomon, he had personally led his unit to congratulate and tested the wisdom of King Solomon, and later eventually the Queen of Sheba married King Solomon. The painting depicts the scene of the Queen on board to congratulate. This is actually a secondary, the main thing is the vast sea landscape in the morning sun reflecting the magnificent ancient architecture . Lemon sun has not yet broken through the clouds, but bordered a Phnom Penh to clouds and water, water flashed, air fresh and pleasant luxury yacht docked at the shore, people gathered around the Queen going down the steps, ready to get on to the ship. The whole picture is quiet, steady, full of classical poetry, is indeed a masterpiece of "landscape of imagination".

Leach's famous work was "St. Library series may be the soul of Levi Strauss and purgatory", which was his representative work. Besides , it was the "Assumption of Mary Magdalene". The picture drawn and themed from the "Bible" were painted by many artists before Leach painted it. As early as 1455 years ago, the Italian's Donald Donatello had carved, later Titian painted the "confession Magdalene", Caravaggio had also painted this subject, it was in 1595; and Wei Dan in Netherlands. However, these painters’ and Leach's works were different, they just made the painting of Mary Magdalene into a portrait painting of crying, or confession, or low self-esteem, rather than Leach that expressed Magdalene as holy, almost similar to the Virgin Mary. Color of the whole picture was easy and clear, Leach did not pursuit the brilliant effect of the Baroque, showing Leach unique style.

Mother's portrait painting(A)

Mother's portrait painting(A)

Mother died more than a year, brother wrote three times to ask for mother's portrait painting, but I'm still unable to meet brother's wishes.

Mother is superstitious and thought that the camera would take people's soul away. As i studied art for a short period, there're several times i prepared to draw a portrait for my mother, however, finally give up halfway. This is not all my reasons but mostly because mother didn't have enough time to sit down. absolutely, my painting technic is also very limited.

I remembered, when i went into the Teachers College just a few days, I couldn't wait to draw pictures for mother. She's very cooperative and especially dropped all her work, sit down to wait be drawed for a portrait painting. The full half day, although mother wanted to stand up several times but she refrained. I know, she was intended to be my model-although she does not know what the model is. but from her kind eyes and words of encouragement, it's enough to understand a mother's heart. Later, relying on random graffiti, i got a little reputation, but the opportunity like before was already gone. There're one or two times, i finally persuaded mother sit down, but couldn't draw a few strokes, she stood up with excuses. Later and later, i got married and busy with my career all day, the number of back home gradually less up, so has no more idea to draw the portrait painting for mother.

Nowadays, mother gone away, the idea for painting a mother portrait become strong day by day. but every time when i unfold the paper is not because my memory to mother blurred. on the contrary, the pain from mother's death make her image in my mind increasingly profound. The more and more vivid impression let me don't know how to put pen on paper to draw her goodness, love and strong.

Mother is a child bride, married my father in her 14 age. Father was a humble farmer. He met my mother while he sell rice on the road. In order to get some rice, grandfather betrothed mother to the equally poor father. Later mother said, an aunt and she were sold one time, but thanks to her big feet, she got the chance to escape from the master.

Adolf. Hitler

Adolf. Hitler went to Vienna when 19 years old for the school enrollment on the portrait painting, but failed to be admitted because of unqualified scores on paintings, also not admitted by the architect school, because he never graduated from high school, and did not meet the school’s admission conditions. Nevertheless, Hitler remained in Vienna until 1913. His had no occupation goal and after running out of his inheritance and the first grants received as an orphan, he relied on temporary work and painted picture postcards for a living.
Hitler had hoped to become a painter. His academic achievements during high school, only drawing lesson was "excellent", and later he determined to study "the profound German art," at the age of 19, he applied for the Vienna Institute of the Arts, but because of poor test scores, he ware not admitted. (comment of the entrance exam scores was: "not satisfied with the drawing result ") Hitler had been brooding that the Art Institute did not admit him, "the world must have suffered a great loss." Some people were ever regretted for the historical errors made by Vienna School of Art, if they admitted Hitler, perhaps he would not be scourge of mankind as a mad Nazi member.
This one who dreamed becoming a painter in 1933 became Germany's "great leader." He launched a "cultural revolution" shortly after taking office (Hitler declared the Nazi movement was a revolution, including the political revolution, ideological and cultural revolutions.
Not only the German modernist, but also Cezanne, Gauguin, Van Gogh, Picasso ... ...their portraits paintings all became junk in a night. Because in the view of Hitler, modern artists were suspicious elements "attempting to be free", their works were all "poisonous flowers."
Regarding to the artist, Hitler's housekeeping means was a high degree of organization. Nazis allowed people, outside of the blacklist ,engaging in cultural activities to organize in related association after cleansing the art galleries. the Art Association's members increased from 45000 to 10 million. Works of the first "Great German Art Exhibition," were from 15 000 candidates, 900 works were displayed after a review. Goebbels called the movement a new order of the art of a mess in the Kingdom of German art was re-established.
It can not be dinied that Hitler really liked art, and he was not a completely outsider in painting and architecture. Because of this, the fate of Germany art was a tragedy . And he asked something other than art not so specific.
Hitler admired German painter Menzel the German realist very much, but disapproved the portrait painting of German Renaissance period; his most admired composer was Wagner, also he liked Beethoven, Brahms and Bruckner, he hated jazz the most, and door Deer Song and other Jewish composers were included in the blacklist to be removed.
There were still German artists singing carols for Hitler after the German art was transformed into a real hell, not just those Goebbels sang carols, a rather famous artist, Uden Fort State’s Art Academy of Sciences on Hitler's birthday, said: "Germany has never been so free ... ..." that was not an isolated case of his shamelessness.

A distant relative ,uncle Anton Ludwig brought the gospel, that he was willing provide free help and support for him to study art , and soon arranged for him to Munich to find art institutions, which reproduced the light of Richter’s life.
From year 1856 to 1863, Richter studied in Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. Guided by the professional teacher, he soon came to the fore, and revealed a high artistic talent. He was ever the student of the great German painter, William • von Kaulbach, mainly studying religion-based theme. The two famous artists had a significant influence on Richter in Christian art . After graduation, Richter used to work at Glatz, but did not find his direction in life.
From personal feelings point of view, Richter was a devout Christian. He always had a habit of choosing to trust God whenever he encountered frustrations, and God seemed always to be at his side, and helped him at the key moment. On the other hand, Richter rethought art through religion or the religion had opened up a wider field of art for him, he was touched and encouraged deeply by Vinci, Michelangelo and Raphael's artistic works. Richter developed a great art road by following up great artists’ footprints.
In the mid-19th century, Lixitemuming went to England to visit the "Brotherhood of sleep." At that time the British art world was experiencing a silent reforming movement, many artists put forward the slogan of going back to the early Raphael classical style beautiful paintings in the early 15th century.

Portrait photography B

1. light for portrait
In addition to physical modeling, portrait light is also an important factor. Compared to landscape photography, the light of portrait photography is more freedom, because the changing natural light is possible to get only wait, but people could walk around, different angles to create different shapes of light effects, not to mention indoor lights can also be mobilized Portrait a variety of sources to create a shadow effect of the vagaries of me. If the direction of light exposure from the point of view, the positive more than just portrait photography using a light. Although the following comparison of light levels, it is difficult performance of three-dimensional, but a positive light more favorable to the reduction of color, especially for the performance of female skin smooth. A positive light not only look delicate white skin, but also face look more plump thin. 45 °front side light in portrait photography using very broadly, it has some of the lighting area, also have a convex face, three-dimensional sense of tone levels, lines, contours and so much more rich. If the side of the face was three-quarters, the light from the other side of the shot, the light for a quarter and three quarters of the face, the face of all the local, which is typical of Rembrandt light light law . This light, with dark backgrounds, make the characters shine. Rembrandt light used more to male images, showing a strong and resolute temperament. Portrait photography also frequently use the backlight to separate characters and background. Strong backlight can change people's face and describe the variety of hair out of hand contours seedlings will be pushed to the audience in front of people. When backlight used as the main light, the face tend to be dim and need another fill light, but the fill light can't be too strong, as it will dilute the backlighting effect. For family indoor shooting portraits, you can prepare yourself a few simple lighting. Because the brightness of these lights is not very high, so best to use a tripod when shooting sticks to steady the camera. Ideal synchronous flash of light is of course, but the price is relatively high. In outdoor portraits, 3-4 pm and 9-10 am is the ideal time, people can turn the body or face, to get a good lighting effects. In addition to illumination angle, man should also pay attention to the photographic light texture, that is, the difference between direct light and scattered light. Studio and outdoor spotlight in the sun is strong direct light, which is full of light texture modeling efforts, especially for shooting men and the elderly, and through the formation of thick backlight backlight and the shape of the side effects. The addition of diffusers, reflective umbrella studio lights to cloudy weather, the outdoor natural light is a scattering of light, its soft texture and delicate shape, rich layers, especially for shooting women and children. We can make these features as the best lighting effects photography.
2. The vivid portrait
Making a good portrait photography not only to master the Photography, but also to understand the psychology of the subject, by capturing gestures and facial expressions to fully express their personality. We shot the characters, most are not professional actors, one to many people before the camera, you will know what to do nervous, if not effectively guide, we can have thousands of people get a dull and pretentious side or portraits. Were removed to make the subject look restrained, the key is to distract his attention, make him forget that they are taking pictures, so that it can reveal the truth possible. When catch the people's look , often involves the mouth of the expression, that is the question of laughter and no laughter. If the shooting blindly who asked to be taken, "Wear a smile, then laugh", the results tend to make people lose their individuality. We do not exclude all the laughs, but as a portrait, we should pursue a normal beauty, between laughter and no laughter, is secret to anyone, and just be relax and natural, true feelings, they all laugh and not laugh is a minor. Posture of the body shape also looked very closely related to body posture first asked to relax as much as possible, then further guidance.

True feelings need to be guided, but the final achievement is to capture. Remember the famous Canadian portrait photographer Cashins' words: "People's interior mind, spirit and soul, sometimes in a flash through his eyes, hands and body shown - this is what need to be firmly grasped, as it is a fleeting moment.

Portrait photography A

The purpose of photography is to shoot a beautiful picture, so the photographer supposed to wait and shoot the photos only when the characters face, temperament all achieve the best, then the good portrait can generate.

1. Portrait of modeling:
when man shoot portraits, regardless of his movements or the posture is naturally true, what the camera lens captured is always a moment of the characters, including facial expression, body shape, and a tacit understanding with the surrounding environment. Figure Sculpture left, into the human mind will become empty talk. Shape from the classification of portrait photography, the head portrait most appropriate for the expression of facial expression, the half-length portrait of the most suitable for personality and attitude performance figures, the biggest advantage of the portraits is that the body can make people with the surrounding environment of the organic links, to facilitate create a mood and atmosphere of the picture. We first take a look at the shape of the face. The basic point of the face, from the horizontal point of view, can generally be divided into front, side and positive side of three-quarters . As positive as a passport, look easy to be stiff, but very easy to portray as a pair of positive communication between the mind's eye, if the figure who has a symmetrical oval face, the front can be satisfied as modeling results. If let the face turn left or right and the other side of the ears just can not be seen, that is the three-quarters of photography in the most common side shot. At this time the performance of both a more comprehensive image of a person's face, the face will change due to appear more vivid. Because of the hair and other factors, to the left or right, the effect will have an impact on the shape. There is a dramatic portrait of the side effects, as people usually do not see their own side, so your profile will feel strange, but also easy to feel disappointed. Particularly in the general population profile, and not the United States, the choice should be careful, this is equally important for portrait painting. In addition to the horizontal plane of rotation, the pitch of the angle of face is also very particular about. Overlooking the head slightly lower, compared for fat people face, so that face becomes thin it is, will easily lead to a cautious style soft effect. Then take a look at the body posture arrangements. A useful principle to remember: head and body do not form a straight line, that is when the body is facing the lens, the head should be slightly to the left or right number; and when his eyes to face the camera, rotate the shoulders should be allowed a certain point of view, or to tilt the shoulders up and down more, it would screen more dynamic. Such as the bust sitting shot, let people sit side about 45 °or 90 °, and then let the upper body towards the lens, produced by twisting the ideal curve. Portraits of the body should avoid the following standing position, while the center support legs should be emphasized.

In the figures, do not ignore the position of the hand arrangement diverse changes hands, it can either strengthen the characters look and can also play a decorative screen role. In a face-based portrait, the hand can be placed on the side of the face, or reclining, but the contact with the face not be too hard to avoid the facial deformation. In the half-length and body image, you can put your hands across their chests, or to hand on your hair, or lightly arrived in the jaw, can also take some small props, a lively picture. As the saying goes, "the hand of an emotional, second only to face", can be used as a reference when shooting.

How to shoot a portrait with the feeling and life

A lot of friends will put most of the mind and focus on shooting techniques when they meet portrait photography for the first time. Such as aperture, shutter, scene, and so on ... ... of course, it is necessary to master the basic techniques and skill. how can a good martial arts be displayed if their own weapons are not used well adequately.
However, portrait photography have always been an art composition so that whether the portrait photography can impress the viewers or not , the feeling plays a very important role. We do not want others to look at our own works by glancing them, as they will be forgotten soon. It seems not enough to just make an effort on the above mentioned basic technology,. Some say the fundamental definition of portrait photography is to portray the most real aspect of the subject, which not just mean the appearance, but the subject's personality, characteristics and internal. To photograph and display a living, feeling and moving portrait, in addition to the photography in some extent with the outside, we must capture the most real, most natural aspect and characteristic .
As a result, I spent a lot of time on study and test, how can the personality of the person be captured! But from the perspective of human psychology, there have been both sides or even multi faces of people’s personality, and each one is different. It is almost impossible to display every side of characteristic of the photographed , so we can only photo his characteristic and in-hearted feeling naturally just at that moment! How to accomplish this?
I believe there is no specific way but here to share one of the following methods I often apply for:

Every time before I am going to shoot portrait, first, i will get further communication with the photographed, which leads to a better understanding of those photographed as well as knowledge of the other side’s expectation of what kinds of photos to be taken. The first thought is often from the real personality of the other side , so the photographer should try to meet and reach the requirements of the other side.
Secondly, to set a theme of the subject person’s characteristic. The theme is good or bad, whether fits the conditions for shooting also need to make gradual progress from the experiences. As a media , in addition to portrait and images , music also can lead a good life and feeling. Select the music in advance for the theme, listen to the other party sufficiently before shooting, if necessary, the music can be played while the scene is shot. Let the music bring out each other's natural emotions, both joy and sorrow ,this is why a lot of friends in the commercial photography like broadcast music while shooting in the studio. More praise, give confidence to the other side and relax, then let the other side give the rein freely when getting into the atmosphere.

Analyse of world famous paintings

Post-impressionist is not the period after impressionism. In other words, post-impressionist is not impressionism, but is an art faction, with different nature from impressionism, and generated after the impressionist. Post-Impressionism includes many artists, the main representative is Cezanne, Van Gogh and Gauguin. The fundamental feature of post-impressionist is that it reflects the true and natural light and color through portrait, and proposes truly perform the artist's subjective opinion on objective things.
Cezanne has a lofty position in art history, was the first modern Western artist, known as the 'father of modern art'. Cezanne made a very important artistic point of view, which has laid the theoretical foundation of Western modernism. The idea is that art is not the real performance of color and appearance of the objective things, but the real performance of the artist's subjective opinion on objective things. Cezanne’s one piece of work, "Madame Cezanne in the Greenhouse"depicts his wife's head of oval shape, neck, chest and arms of cylindrical shape, the lower body is of a cone.
In the post-impressionist, the most important artist was Van Gogh who was an outstanding artist, in his own work, he showed himself and his life, inner feelings. His works, whether still life, "Sunflower", character self-portrait "The Van Gogh cut his ears", or landscape paintings "Star sky", are filled with his love of life, has resorted to intense feelings of his heart, not only his projection , avatar, and sometimes he even blatantly illustrated himself.
Van Gogh’s facing dazzling colors, has resulted in a strong emotion, kept him driving the painting, and even made him forget he was painting. He described in a letter his creation status when the inspiration hits, he said: "The feeling is sometimes so strong that people simply do not know ... ... strokes at work follow continuously, like a paragraph of words or words in a letter. "In short, to use color expressing emotion, is Van Gogh's most important art point of view.
In Van Gogh's life, the most important works of art are in the final years of life, finished in the broiling sunlight, "Sunflower" was the work during this period. "Sunflower" is not a traditional still life portrait decoration describing natural flowers, but a painting to express the sun, a song praising the vitality of the sun. In the painting, the stemmed sunflower was in full bloom in the sun, as if the "bursting out flame in the background." The way of Van Gogh’s expressing sunflowers, also with ingenuity, he adopted a simplified portrayal way to describe images, making the picture have a rich sense of plane and decoration. The general appearance of the picture is yellow and orange tone, the delicate strokes of green and blue outlines the petals and stems. Strong color point on the grain has striking effect. The bold and unrestrained, firm strokes, by different movements, seek different structures and colors in bright and brilliant background, make the blossoming sunflowers dazzling, hot and imaginative, just as Van Gogh general’s vigor emotions like fire and strong artistic temperament. For Van Gogh, the sunflower was the best work to express his thought.
Sadly, the post-Impressionist painters were recognized in society long after they died. However, they jointly opened the door to modern art, the twentieth century had a lot of modern art concepts with the influence of their creative thinking, artistic concepts, for example: Fauvism, Cubism and so on.

9 Tips for shooting portrait(A)

This article is from a journal, I feel a bit meaning,and here are some photography tips
to share with you

1. Using the appropriate focal length lens.
For 35mm cameras, the best focal length for portrait shooting is 85 ~ 135mm such mid-focal lenses. Why? becasue the mid-focal lens can get a normal penetration portrait in a certain shooting distance, so it makes a foundation for good portrait painting. If you use wide-angle lens to shoot portraits, the shooting distance must be very close, thus causing perspective distortion, exaggerated characteristics of certain parts of the characters; If you use a telephoto lens to shoot portraits, the shooting distance should be farther, as the characteristics of the lens makes the photographed's perspective compressed. In most cases, the mid-focal lens can give a good shooting. Of course, taken with other lenses is also possible, but what here talking about is the majority occasions.
2. Eliminate background interference.
Background is the most important element in the Portrait shooting. A good background does only not influence appreciation of the subject , but also helps to paint a good portrait.There are many ways to deal with the background. Before shooting, it's better to view from the viewfinder. If the background is not good enough, when condition permits, you can convert a place or point of view, to avoid the bad background. But, if the condition does not allow, it is best to open the aperture of large lens , reducing the depth of field, as the background outside the focus, so they were all become a blur. Background processing is very important. it's better to develope a habit, check the image of the viewfinder before you press the shutter.
3. Attention posture (Posing)
If you stand like a wood in front of the lens ,the taken-out picture must be unsightly. the photographer should try to guide the photographed to be natural, relaxed. when necessary, also allows him / her show some unusual poses.

6 Capturing Steps To Children's Photography（B）

1. Having beautiful eyes light - reflected light in the eyes of photographed – is the difference between a good photo ,an excellent photo and portrait. You can do some thing by photoshop , but you prefer to do a good job earlier, right?
The technique is that the photographed be in shadow, facing the light source. As long as you can adjust the angle of light to see the eye light, you do not have to be located between the photographed and light source. Windows is the most common light source, but in the dark enough room, TV can also be used as light sources.
2. Note the background
Capturing the children often running around means that you should pay special attention to the background problem. Too cluttered background will distract the audience's attention. Background can be virtual when photographing by using large aperture (but be careful too shallow but deep scenery.) Find a clean background - a wall - would be helpful. Sometimes some creative clippings will produce a great difference.
3. Photographing scene, not just the face
Good child portraits photos usually lie in the face, but sometimes shooting the whole scene is also good - showing their toys, or the pet along with him. Another option is to demonstrate one detail representing kids’ activities - the hands covered with paint, or the football hanging on the door ,ect.
4. Carrying the camera
Besides photographing at home, carrying the camera when going out is also necessary, even only a normal walk. Parks and playgrounds are the suitable places for shooting, and you will never realize what will be photographed during a walk after dinner. Hope these tips can help you, but remember that these are not always useful.the funny to taken their children every day is that even if ordinary photo or portrait can also help you keep a special memory.

6 Capturing Steps To Children's Photography（A）

It is of course very good for their own well-designed baby shot composition, light clothing and fabrics photos. But it can make you to capture more real side of the children by using the chance to capture, but it also make you painted a perfect portrait for your baby .
The snap pictures of children here that are not truly to capture (they generally know you're taking pictures),and with some challenging technically(poor light, complex background), but the return is also very lucrative. I am a professional to take portrait for children, but most of my favorite pictures of my daughter is from her daily life, I'm just holding the camera, looking for photo opportunities.
There are some snapshot tips to share with you :

1. Preparation equipment
place The camera on the place where we can reach,such as the bedroom (or other photo opportunities more room). Make sure the battery is full of power,there are more space in memory card, the set also is suitable for shooting indoor portrait. For me, I usually use high ISO sensitivity and large aperture (f/3.2 or larger), this will guarantee a certain shutter speed (1/100s or faster), while access to the beautiful bokeh. Some people like the mode,and the camera will use a similar setup. I personally do not like using flash, and make use of natural light. I tend to use fixed focus lens, 50mm or 85mm lens always are mounted on the camera (I use a full frame camera). Longer focal length lens allows you to shoot from farther locations. Finally, a small place is to turn off the tone AF in focus, the children know that you're taking pictures, but not too much bother them.
2. Lower body
Many people are used to shooting by standing from his own position, but most of the time, they can only take the ordinary photos corresponding with the general visual angle. Lowering to the level of the children will immediately take you into their world, and pictures are closer to their real lives, meanwhile child portraits

The main techniques of Painting

The main techniques of Painting

Tools and Materials of Oil Painting limit result in complexity of painting techniques. For centuries, artists have created a variety of oil painting techniques in practice, making painting materials play its role adequately.

Oil painting’s major echniques:

1. Transparent color-covered method, without using the white color but only use the oil dilution pigments for multi-level painting. Each layer must be colored after the previous layer is dried. Because each layer is relatively rarefied, the lower the color can be vaguely revealed, forming subtle changes of color tone with the upper layer. For example, painting stable blue color on the crimson color layer will generate the rich effect of purple in blue or the warmth in coldness, which often can not be transferred out in the color palette. This kind of painting is suitable for the performance of images texture and solid sense , in particular, by vividly depicting the characters’ changes of skin color, it makes people feel the blood flowing under the skin surface . The disadvantage comes from a narrow color gamut, making the work process fine but a long time to complete, thus it is not very easy for the artist express his prompt real emotions of art.
2. Opaque color-covered method, also known as multi-level shading. First, use a single color to figure out general body appearance when painting, and then use the multi-level color to shape. Often dark part is painted thinly, middle tone and highlight layers thick, covered, or remained, forming contrasts of color module. Different thickness shows the color’s rich rhyme intention and texture. There is not strict distinction between transparent and opaque painting ,that is why artist often use them for integration in a portrait painting. When performed the images in the dark shadow , transparent color-coverd method can produce a stable and deep volume sense, and spatial sense; opaque color-covered rules is easy for shaping items outside dark parts, increasing color saturation of the picture.
3. An opaque coloring, also named direct coloring. That is to basically finish painting after making images outlines on the canvas, with the feeling of the color images ,lay colors to the idea of picture colors, and scrape the incorrect place with the painting knife and then continue coloring for adjustment. This painting, of which each pen is relatively dipped with pigments strongly, color saturation is high, strokes are more clear, and is an easy vivid expression of painting feelings . many artists choose this painting method in the late mid-19th century,. The role of oil paintingtechniques is that it combines styles of factors or focuses on an individual. The painting materials provides adequate possibility to apply oil painting techniques to the second grounding. Oil production is the techniques creative process when skilled artists consciously control the painting materials, select and apply artistic ideas, and form the artistic image. Paintings express the content the artist gives as well as the unique beauty of the oil painting language─ ─ drawing.

Regarding realistic oil painting

Realistic painting, in the form of art, belongs to representational art , is an expression of portrait .With observation and tracing of the external Images, experiencing in their own feelings and understanding , the artists reproduces the images outside, which caters the visual experience of the viewers, providing aesthetic senses pleasure.
Realistic painting, original from the West, had a long history and tradition. Realistic Painting, grown in in Europe during "Renaissance" period, experiencing 500 years of glory, had produced many immortal masterpieces, artists ,masters in art history. Before the 20th century, the whole history of Western art was a history of realistic painting, which people had never doubted. Have had such a thing: the emergence of "Camera" and "photography" made people doubt about the function of realistic portrait. In fact, the photography could not replace the painting, as the external challenges will force art itself more "artistic", which was decided by the art of self-discipline. Western art in the 20th century broke the tradition dominance of classical realism. In particular, the birth of modern art concept, had greatly expanded the boundaries of art, art genres, colorful, starting moving toward multi-pronged new world. As a form of painting, realistic painting, still occupied a place, and there were also some outstanding artists and works.


Realistic Painting in China had a vast market. Thanks to government support and advocacy, realistic painting kept being a single flower of Chinese painting in most period of the 20th century. The French academic realist painting, represented by Xu Beihong, and the Russia KeFu fellowship scarlett academic,their teaching rules were regarded as orthodox, when art practice and teaching got restrictions for a long term, engaging policies in the theme of creation. In the closed program, it should be recognized by Chinese and foreign artists, that the artists concentrated on studying the Chinese martial arts had greatly enhanced the portrait techniques.
With the door of the country open, the trends of modern art whistled through.The Chinese painting in 1980 had achieved real fission, the sense of diversity had rooted in people. The art began to catch the world, and tried to work with the world trend in parallel. How the fate of realistic painting would be ,which had been regarded as tradition and orthodox . In the modern art movement, the realistic painting once fell into a dilemma, it seemed that realistic painting was regarded synonymous with closed and conservative, in which context, the position of insisting on academic became very pale and weak. What was more, art, as a commodity,entered the circulation, because of the unsatisfactory operation of the art market, and the not synchronization of "market" and "academic", some artists even intended to compete in the market, the academic profile of realistic painting (of course not limited to realistic painting) fell into a worse situation. However, the realistic painting, as a member of multiple ones, its own artistic mission and artistic charm still had not been presence-reduced after going through many storms. From the practice of art in recent years, it shows the realistic style of artists give us at least three tips as the following:
First of all, the artists draw more attention to the language expression, they love life and concern about the relationship between people and society by fully using the oil painting as a carrier . Painting language styles are different, emphasis on self appearance is highlighted. Furthermore, the artist absorbed in practice a variety of materials for application (owing to Weir and Bin Kasi’s materials and techniques teaching). Oil painting’s dealing with picture effect was significantly better than the eighties’ and nineties’. Finally, also most notable,is the integration of the concept of modern art. Many artists,in a whole new view, explains and expresses mental imagery in the works, presenting a refreshing idea, known as "neoclassical," " New concrete doctrine ", the" new easel painting ", etc. We may collectively referred them to the" new realism. "
In short, many artists join in realistic painting of irresistible charm and irreplaceable function, tempering themselves, definitely to reproduce the endless wind.

Master Impressionist Armand Guillaumin

Understanding of Impressionist painting friends, all know that 19th century French Monet, Pissarro, Sisley and other masters, but we may not be familiar with the name of Armand Dejiyueman，his presentation in art history is extremely rare. I also recently saw a large number of his portraits.

Below is a haystack, if it is not noted,many people may have thought that the works of Monet, Armand Dejiyueman was the friends of Monet, Pissarro and others to paint, they often go out painting to explore the secrets of light and color. So this piece of works also have focus on light and color for a detailed study like the works of Monet.
Compare two of the painting, we can see that, although all draw on the straw, there are still difference on the style and the oil painting. Monet's fine, but some of Armand Germany is extensive.
Please note the color of the sky. We have a lot of painting lovers, regardless of the circumstances under which painting the sky, are all is blue, Prussian blue plus white, the sky and the large screen so are uncoordinated, appeared to be very tacky. Again look at the works of masters, we will know, a good oil painting color, the first play of colors can be moving. The same situation also appears on the ground.
The same is the Impressionist painter, Monet, Pissarro, Sisley, etc. are basically intertwined with rich color and detailed point of tissue images, Renoir Zeyi rich color line. However, Armand De able to maintain own personality, not the factions in. He was full of the barge terminal, Ge Luozi scenery, painted a bold and bright. he described the flow of water in the valley, the autumn sun shining, trees bathed in brilliant sunshine, embankment adjacent to the vitality, because of his warm, sharp colors, bold brush strokes to draw a rough magnificent melody and rhythm.
Of course, his portrait is not that all people will like. He sometimes use too much red, purple, lilac color , the painting is not fine, some people may think he is rough and blunt paintings. However, Like works of art and food, each person, each region in different people's tastes, so sometimes it is really hard to say, I am a southerner, not used to the pancakes with shallots, mustard and more not used, but will eat a few times used to it, even if not used, can not say that it is not good, because some people like it Well. Armand de considerable disparity between the merits of the works, but the whole, his work has a strong personality, or is ranked in the impression master of the columns doctrine.
His later works close to Fauvism painters. More intense use of color, simple, tend to flat, decorative style, but second-rate Impressionist painter can not ratio to his pieces of pink portrait (he very good at it) elegant still life, landscapes painting.

Notes for photographers
“one good friend of mine knows Louis’ mother. I know from him that the little boy has got a deep soul and a pair of beautiful green eyes. I have a kind of intimacy when we met for the first time. When I asked for his agreement to take a picture, he faced to the camera calmly and relaxingly . knowing he has experienced some hard days, I required him to look up expressing hope. I will never get out of my mind of the beautiful boy’s performance. He was very smart in his age. Later ,a music company, Blue Flame asked me to donate this photo as the cover to Child Need Care And Love . Louris got 30% of the sales amount as his education saving. To me, this photo is of great significance.”
