			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Most people who are artistic in nature at some point in time have probably thought about using oil painting to express their talents and create beautiful paintings. Fortunately, learning how to do create these paintings is very possible by taking several basic steps. Doing so is really just a matter of becoming proficient with certain oil painting techniques.</p>
<p>Before you begin with oil painting, be sure that you are workin<span id="more-97"></span>g in a well ventilated area. You want to be in an open area where air can circulate without obstruction, and where you have the ability to move freely.</p>
<p>Next, check to make sure your easel is at a height where you&#8217;re comfortable. You should be able to paint without bending over or standing on your tip toes to reach the medium. The proper way to hold the brush is to grasp the part where the ferrule ends.</p>
<p>Also, place a cloth, plastic bag, or a tarp on the floor where you are painting. The table and floor should be covered properly if you are using a table easel.</p>
<p>After all that is done, you are ready to get started on your painting, once of course you are dressed appropriately. Get all of your paints set up, which involves having a single solvent in one container and another with two parts of solvent with at least a single part oil.</p>
<p>Enough space should be available for your brushes, palette, solvent, palette knife, rags, and paint tubes. The amount of oil paints you want to buy is completely up to you. However, two or three colors should suffice when starting, so avoid putting all of your paint in the palette initially.</p>
<p>Now it&#8217;s time to actually begin oil painting. When your session is over, clean your brushes and give some time for your work to dry, which might be as long as two days.</p>

<p>The art of oil painting goes way back in time as it plays an important role in the interior designs of towers, homes, renowned buildings and royal family dwellings. Many famous and respected artists from every part of the world used oil painting to paint the momentum in history with its changes in different era, rule and reign. Most historic oil paintings have been kept and preserved in some of the world’s exceptional museum w<span id="more-96"></span>hile others were gone in time.</p>
<p>Oil painting mediums are easily available for anyone, yet this has caused its lost in artistry. Nevertheless, only a handful of painters are skilled with aptitude in oil painting techniques. Basically, almost anyone can perform oil paintings in spite of one’s skill or experience but the real art of oil painting has lost its originality. This is because the number of artist who take the trouble to educate themselves into practicing the artistry of oil painting medium are getting lesser.</p>
<p><strong>The Traditional Portrait Painting:</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong>Going back in time before cameras were invented, one may hire an artist to paint a portrait as a gift for birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, or even special occasions. For an artist to paint a portrait the subject must sit very still and sometimes for long hours as the artist tries to depict the picture to look almost as if it is original with the use of oil painting mediums. It is such a strenuous and demanding practice to spend the long wee hours for the artist to paint the portrait of the person who commissioned it.</p>
<p><strong>The Technological Revolution:</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong>In the digital era of art, many are influenced by the use of technology which has replaced most art medium including oil painting. The use of modern technology has eradicated the unnecessary sessions for long hours of being still just to create a portrait painting. Nowadays, people can get a portrait of themselves painted by simply handling a photo to an artist to paint an oil portrait by transferring the picture in a photo to a picture in a canvas.</p>
<p>Thus, oil painting has lost its uniqueness as a consequence to the existing digital era and also due to fast paced environments. Nonetheless, we should regard oil painting artists as superior craftsmen and they deserve to be compensated for their prestigious skills with ample generosity.</p>

<p>You will find that there are a lot of ways that you can dramatically change the decor of your home, but you will find that the quickest and cheapest way to decorate is to find your color schemes. </p>
<p>You will want to go to the local hardware store and just grab a bunch of paint colors and then try to future out what you would like to paint and where you would like to paint. You will find that there are a lot of thing<span id="more-118"></span>s that you will want to consider, but you will first want to consider what it is that you are painting. </p>
<p>There are a lot of older homes that have paneling everywhere. You will want to keep in mind that there are a lot of places in the home where you will want to have the wood look and you will find that there are places where you will want to have some color. You do not want to have the whole house paneled, because it will take away some of the ways that you can personalize the home. </p>
<p>You will also want to keep in mind that there are some things that you will want paint so that you can have your own personal space. When it comes to the bedrooms you will want to make each and everyone person feel like it is their own personal space. It is very important that you learn to make your home a home. </p>
<p>When it comes to the color in the bedrooms you will want to make sure that it reflects who you are. You will want to make sure that you add some color to the home, but that you don&#8217;t go overboard. You may want to pick some colors that are going to be calming and easing. </p>
<p>You will want to make sure that you do everything that you can to become comfortable with the home. You may want to think about using colors like browns, blues, and lighter shades. You do not want to make any bold statements. </p>
<p>When it comes to the colors of the rooms that you paint, you will want to consider the fact that there are objects in the room that you will want to match. You will want to make sure that you try to match the bathroom towels with the decor of the bathroom, that you match the comforters to the colors of the bedrooms. Everything needs to coordinate.</p>

<p>Most of the web designers give a lot of attention to two main factors while designing a website, the design and the content. But, what about the colors? Unfortunately, they don&#8217;t know how important it is to scheme the right colors for their websites. They ignore this most important thing just like that. The colors of your website should give the mood and feel of the site that it is meant for. You need to be creative enough to th<span id="more-121"></span>ink the colors that can define your site by its very look. A good color scheming brings up identity and brand image. Colors are very effective on human mind as compared to text. A very good content of your site may not attract your visitors and they may skip it just because they the very first look and feel of it are not attractive.</p>
<p>Color is symbolism.  We represent Red with anger; Black as night or as &#8220;&#8221;evil&#8221;"; Black and white together for mourning and cheerless occasions. Brown represents hearth, home, the outdoors, comfort, endurance, comfort and simplicity, the color of gold associated with royalty. Green can represent nature, youth, vigor, jealousy and misfortune. Orange symbolizes energy, balance, warmth. The color pink shows childish innocence or a child like characters. And the list goes further.</p>
<p>Colors ignite our insight. They can inspire our appetite.  Colors can make us excited, happy, angry or sad.  So, how these colors affect our website visitors is a crucial thing to be learnt. We need to learn to discover different color combinations to apply to your Web site.</p>
<p>Need not be a blind follower of a few websites you have come across. To achieve the leading curve over others you always have to think innovatively. Who knows, a color scheme thought and brought by you can be a massive audience puller and attract the world at large falling in love with your site&#8217;s look and feel. One thing to be kept in mind; mere color schemes cannot survive for too long if the content is inferior. The bottom line is that your color scheme innovations and tactics bring success to you if only your content is good. The combination of both content and color scheme is the key to your website&#8217;s success.</p>

<p>Oil paintings began in the Mediterranean during the era of the Greek and Roman civilizations. The Egyptians also used paint techniques that were rich in bees wax, pigments of such minerals as copper, iron and manganese oxides and tempera.</p>
<p>While historians have noted that the Mediterranean civilizations of this time were aware of flax, walnut, poppy seed and other vegetable oils there is not definite proof that they were used in oil paintings of the time.</p>
<p>The tempera these early oil painters used were organic mediums mixed as fluid with water and volatile oil additives. Italian artists of the next century used organic binding ingredients such as materials containing protein from whole eggs, animal glue or milk.</p>
<p>From the Roman Empire’s demise to the 15th century Renaissance era oil paintings and tempera painting became prevalent. In Greece and Italy olive oil was the preferred based for pigment mixture preparation although this made for a long drying period and great difficulty for human models. Theophilus, a German-born monk and oil painter in the 1100’s dispensed with olive oil in his oil paintings. In Japan a substitute for oil paintings was perilla oil, applied after a lead application as early as the 8th century. During the 1300’s the Italian Cennino Cennini created oil paintings that were a combination of tempera and several layers of light oil.</p>
<p>Much later Leonardo DaVinci, who lived until 1519, created his own oil paintings concoction made by adding up to 10 percent bees wax to his oils and then boiling the combination.</p>
<p>If you’d like to follow in the footsteps of these great painters there are some simple preparations and techniques before and during your creation of oil paintings.</p>
<p>The first important technique is to dress for it, including gloves. Your tools include two containers, one with paint thinner, and the other with a combination of two parts thinner to one part walnut oil. Make sure you’ve made room in easy reach for your paint brushes, your palette and its knife, your containers, paint tubes and paint rags.</p>
<p>Your palette should start out with only 2-3 paint colors. Generally you’ll need cadmium red, cadmium yellow and ultramarine blue to start.</p>
<p>Your palette knife is the oil paintings tool you use for the technique of mixing colors. Keep in mind that oil paints have a short blend life, so if you try to make a color change and it doesn’t work right the first time quickly take a paint rag and wipe it off the canvas and start over.</p>
<p>One of the advantages of oil paintings that make the correction technique so much easier is that they take nearly a full day to dry. So, you have lots of correction time. On the other hand, because oil paintings take so long to dry and excessively heavy coat can slow your painting process considerably.</p>
<p>The brushes you use in your oil paintings must be cleaned well between each change of color. This technique is crucial. The first thing you do is remove as much of the paint as you can with the paint rag and then place the brush in the paint thinner. Swish the paint brush around in the thinner, and then dry it with the rag.</p>

<p>Color schemes are intriguing for the artist, essential to the house decorator, and vital for the website designer and builder. Color schemes are also engrossing to examine&#8212;in terms of effectiveness, appeal, and psychological impact. Further, in the commercial environment, color and color schemes are key.</p>
<p>Many experts and professionals have studied the effects of color in particular (and color schemes in general) as <span id="more-120"></span>it relates to dieting and appetite, moods, desires, and the sense of well-being. And, of course, the same experts have studied color schemes and dynamics in advertising, in branding (identity), and in product and service creation, all of which have a common goal&#8212;to determine the impact on consumers.</p>
<p>GENERAL REQUIREMENTS of COLOR That &#8216;SELLS&#8217;</p>
<p>As the superb color.com, colormatters.com, and firelily.com experts will tell us, colors have got to </p>
<p>-send the appropriate message, taking into consideration who the receiver of that message is, what his/her age, ethnicity, income level, social and other inclinations, and personal preferences are, for example.</p>
<p>-be complimentary, or work in conjunction with other colors to establish desirable, rather than off-putting results, to be alluring.</p>
<p><del>be accessible to the greater community of viewers (or users), the advertisers taking into consideration how plenty consumers have sight</del> or color-impaired issues (color deficiencies), how many have browsers and laptop systems that are not as capable to &#8216;read&#8217; color schemes and other image attributes.</p>
<p>-represent (literally, figuratively, directly, indirectly) the intended results, appealing to a need, warning, supporting, informing, pleasing, etc..</p>
<p>-work toward the intended goal, which is to create a psychological result that is positive.</p>
<p>PSYCHOLOGY of COLOR SCHEMES<br />
Be they used in a living room, a therapist&#8217;s office, or a set of web pages, color schemes will have particular emotional/intellectual impact:</p>
<p>YELLOW</p>
<p>Yellow is (or can be) loud, warm, or repellant. At 24-hour stores, for instance, you may see the outside lights are an nasty yellow, used to discourage loitering. However the right yellow, used in the appropriate amounts, suggests, for sure, sunshine and all that is delightful.</p>
<p>RED</p>
<p>You may have heard that red cars get hit often, or that of all colored cars, red ones have pulled over most often by law enforcement officers. Yes, in some cultures, red is fast, hot, passionate. In others it is lucky, used in warning, indicates power, or is used as a stimulant.</p>
<p>ORANGE</p>
<p>Orange is warm, energetic, happy. Orange is also stimulating, often used in fast food restaurant color schemes (to invigorate hunger) and in places where conversation is invited. Last I read, orange was a new hot color for website design (2000s), however only in certain amounts and used in combination with the ever-popular blue (which is a number one color for American sites, for sure).</p>
<p>BLUE</p>
<p>Blue is the least likely color in nature, with extremely few edible foods occurring naturally, that is. So blue has been discovered to be an appetite suppressant. At the same time, blue is also a tranquilizing color, one you might find in libraries, therapist&#8217;s offices, and the like. For sure, as one of the three colors of the USA, blue is one of the most-often-used colors on American web sites, more, blue is the most often used color on all web sites collectively&#8217;across all cultural divides.</p>
<p>GREEN</p>
<p>The first color in nature, green is growth. Green can be used for warmth or for calm and cooling effects at the same time, depending upon the shade and the complimentary colors used with it. It is positive. It is forward-pointing. It also, in particular cultures, is money.</p>
<p>VIOLET</p>
<p>If you have heard of Prince, you would know that purple is symbolic of royalty. Also, like green, violet is found in great abundance in the natural environment and also like green, is a combination of cool and warm hues, being for a well-rounded and positive appearance.</p>
<p>Paying attention to preferences of cultures, ages, color-viewing abilities, and genders (with men preferring lucent and light colors and women opting for pastel and subdued colors, as an example), designing with colors and schemes in mind is no small task, but is possible, after some on to the studies and results.</p>

<p>Early European Interpretations – A Land Without People?</p>
<p>The depiction of Africa’s landscape and its wildlife has an immense history. From rock paintings that are mankind’s oldest continuously practised art form, to modern day oil paintings that still search, experiment, and feel their way down new avenues into the vibrant global art market. Oil paintings of elegant human figures, richly hued animals, and subtle <span id="more-142"></span>hints of architecture that blend so calmly with this dramatic land, continue to inspire admiration for quality and sophistication.</p>
<p>The craft of oil painting was brought to Africa by white European explorers who chartered their way across the vast terrain of Africa recording the wildlife and landscapes they discovered. Much of this documentation was in the name of science and natural history. These naturalists and artists were inclined to represent the needs of the empire builders and governments who funded their trips. The landscape oil paintings of this time often reflected an idealised view of the continent, an undiscovered Eden, empty and free of its original inhabitants. </p>
<p>An early nineteenth century traveller in the Cape of Good Hope, William Burchell, who was a prolific naturalist as well as an accomplished artist characterises this school of thought. His landscape oil painting, “A Scene on the Gariep River” was so charming that; “It smothers every uneasy sensation of the mind”. This pleasing illustration displays the kind of landscape that Europeans of the time wanted to imagine existed in Africa. These idyllic paintings continued into the twentieth century with the work of J H Pierneef, and the Everard Group. For the majority of travelling European artists, the people they saw were simply part of Africa’s flora and fauna. At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the twentieth century, major European artists, such as Picasso, began to study African motifs and techniques. This is now called his “African” phase, where Picasso produced many modern oil paintings, straying away from the conventional aesthetic representations, thus taking his artwork to a more philosophical and emotional level. </p>
<p>Progressive Landscape Views &#8211; Beyond the Colonial Era </p>
<p>Attitudes towards black African artists and their use of oil in landscape and <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" rel="external nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.arts-memory.com/animal-oil-painting-lion-p-2033.html">wildlife paintings</a> was often punitive or criticised, there was a general desire to keep the native artist “tribal”. The experience of one the earliest black South African landscape painters, John Mohl, demonstrates this: </p>
<p>“Mohl was approached by a white admirer and advised not to concentrate on landscape oil paintings, but to paint figures of his people in poverty and misery. Landscape, he was advised, had become the field where Europeans had advanced far in perfecting its painting. In response Mohl challenged this rhetoric and said: “But I am African, and when God made Africa, he also created beautiful landscapes for Africans to admire and paint.”</p>
<p>Through Mohl’s rural and urban landscape paintings he expressed a clear cultural defiance. By painting landscapes Mohl triumphed over the imperial ideals and expectations many Europeans had of the indigenous Artists in Africa. Although this European ideology may have been detrimental to the development of landscape oil painting in Africa, one common energy unites all African artists who choose landscape and wildlife as the subject of their artwork. No African artist whoever he or she may be can forget the material, the human side, the majesty and brilliance of creation. </p>
<p>Contemporary Oil Paintings – The Eternal Vista</p>
<p>Much has changed in Africa during the last century. Oil paintings of the radiant landscapes, the light, the heat, the life and the stunning beauty of this unique land and its wildlife will always be admired by those not fortunate enough to live there. Just as the people during colonial times would marvel at this realm’s incredible wonders, so today people from distant lands also appreciate its splendour. At the turn of the last century the only image of Africa people could behold were precious wildlife and landscape paintings created by artists.</p>
<p>Today in contemporary Britain we have many different media sources to experience the spectacle that is Africa. The Internet, TV, Video-on-Demand, DVD, Interactive games, Multimedia, the list goes on. Within this mélange of infinite images and interaction you may find that the only true way to experience this grandeur is through the eyes of those artists that are still painting the infinite and timeless scenes. Professionally produced and hand painted oil landscapes can truly connect you with the essence that is Africa. If you have visited Africa and followed in the footsteps of the early European artists, you will no doubt have fond memories of the continent. However, to own a contemporary oil painting will induce sentiment and wonder far richer than the memories themselves.</p>

<p>Does the thought of picking out a color scheme for your house simply overwhelm you? If you&#8217;re not sure how well a particular group of colors will mix then perhaps you should go with a more traditional color scheme? As long as you follow the simple rule of choosing a single color as your primary room color and to use other colors as accents you&#8217;ll avoid your room becoming too &#8216;color busy&#8217;.</p>
<p>The kitchen is one of the mos<span id="more-117"></span>t taken for granted parts of the house. You may think that the kitchen is only used for cooking, so fancy designs are not needed. Do not get tricked by this misconception. Kitchen color schemes are as important as any other color schemes used for other parts of the house.</p>
<p>Fall Color Infusion &#8211; Decorating with Flowers<br />Want to add a some natural autumn color palettes to your home’s exterior this Fall? Then get ready to have some fun gardening: Replace summer annuals with fall bloomers such as royal purple, lavender and gold pansies to update the look of your garden. You’ll stop traffic with curb appeal that will last for months.One of America’s classic flowers, the chrysanthemum, happens to be a fall bloomer. Take advantage of its magentas, dark reds and shocking pinks and plant them in window boxes or outdoor planters.</p>
<p>Choosing a color palette is, perhaps, the best way to start with. With understanding of colors prevailing in the decoration, it is easier to deal with the other issues. How to avoid extremes of creating something colorful motley or nothing grim? Let&#8217;s take a deeper look into this.</p>
<p>The color scheme you select should be light overall for most types of cottage style decorating. A healthy dose of white along with soft shades of green, pink, blue, yellow, aqua and rose will set the cottage tone. If your taste lends more toward a rustic cottage look, you may incorporate more golds and medium shades of green into your decor. Use these colors on your walls, and don&#8217;t hesitate to vary the colors from room to room.</p>
<p>Choose a color scheme and stick to it. Start with white or your anchor color and select fabrics and accessories to compliment the color scheme. If you carry the colors throughout your home, you&#8217;ll be able to move furniture and accessories from room to room. They&#8217;ll look great wherever you place them.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="margin: 0 auto; float: left; padding-right: 5px;"><img src="http://thm-a03.yimg.com/nimage/d3f511c6274cbc1a" alt="How to Decide Color Schemes for Living Room" width="210" height="155" /></div>
<p>Take the flower wall paper down; it&#8217;s time to start really thinking about living schemes. Most people never even thinking about living room, because the colors are already chosen for them with the furniture that they like, and the home that they have purchased. Think about how many people buy furniture unstained, or uncovered, and at the same time, purchases a home that has yet to be painted on the inside. Right, not too many pe<span id="more-122"></span>ople do that, so we must focus on the obvious truth about living room color schemes, much of it is already chosen for us.</p>
<p>The best way to approach a schemes is think about what you can do, not what you can not do. This means to look at whatever you have the ability to change, and change it as much as possible to match some type of living room color scheme.</p>
<p>A color scheme is simply a coordinated effort amongst all the colors in the room to create a group, or scheme that is noticeable from a distance. Think about the stripes on a traditional prison uniform, the color scheme of that is easily identifiable as black, and white. Some rooms have single color schemes like brown, or red, or white. While most have multiple color schemes.</p>
<p>One of the most iconic schemes of all time is the hunting lodge scheme. This is a deep brown color that most of the furniture comes out to be, matched with a dark green wall paper. The brown and green is then matched with natural wood accents from handmade furniture. This color scheme works well together because the green and brown contrast one and other to a point that is pleasing to the eye.</p>
<p>While not all will want to go with the hunting lodge color scheme, there are plenty of other living room color schemes that one can utilize. One popular living room color scheme is that of grey on the walls, and tan on the furniture. The grey helps to keep the furniture the focal point, while the tan keeps the eyes from becoming too overwhelmed with color, this is a good example of a modest living room color scheme.</p>
<p>Regardless of the schemes that you choose to implement, the important thing is that you become cognizant of what living room color schemes are, and how to create one that works for you.</p>

<p>Hand painted Oil painting techniques</p>
<p>The ancient art and Hand painted oil paintings of Renaissance Europe are very important relationship. Renaissance to the 14th century, the rise of 16th century European idea of a cultural movement, experiencing forces of a thousand years of feudal rule of the Church, people began to get rid of mental slavery, was being detained for many years of classical culture and arouse people&#8217;s a<span id="more-90"></span>ttention. The first started in Renaissance Italy, later extended to Western European countries. The 16th century reached its peak.</p>
<p>European oil paintings of family »Vinci, Raphael, Michelangelo, Giorgione, Titian is the Renaissance leaders. At that time, an endless stream of various schools of style, master masterpiece of a common occurrence for human culture left a treasure trove of numerous difficult to go beyond the classics. The Southern Italy School Titian&#8217;s Venice is a well-known opaque thick smear of oil painting techniques on behalf of the portrait master.</p>
<p>Ancient and modern, oil painting the most basic techniques are threefold: First, the Nordic Netherlands School, who love to Yang Ke as the representative of the Tuhua thin transparent; Second, Southern Italy School to Weinisiti-thick opaque as the representative of the Tuhua ; Three of Flanders painter Rubens as the representative of the North-South integration techniques of the dark thin transparent Tu, Tu-liang of the thick opaque compromise painting. After the 17th century painter, although with their own unique style and technique, but are not divorced from the opening of these three basic traditional painting techniques. The history of European painting from the point of view, the painting is painted from the wax, plastic eggs on the painting gradually develop. By the 15th century, and by Fan Yang brothers grams of plastic for the completion of a medium to medium oil for the conversion. Because of the innovative techniques, so that the performance of the paintings are brought into full play so that it works in the depth of sound and produce a great leap forward. Therefore, in the 15th century love grams of Fan Yang brothers as the representative of the Netherlands School, is painting the history of the development a major turning point. By the 17th century (before and after the Qing Emperor Kangxi period), after several generations of artists of the continuous improvement so that the oil painting art form created a major turning point, that is, from multi-level hood with the gradual development of an integrated method of performance-based approach And direct painting, oil painting greatly enriched the language and performance skills, make it better.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>[b] painting techniques [/ b] are:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Transparent review of color, that is used not only by white palette diluted oil paint depicting a multi-level. Must be conducted after each layer dry under a layer of color, because every color than the thin, middle and lower classes of color can vaguely revealed, with the top of the subtle color changes in the formation of color. For example, in the crimson smear on the hood of the color of the blue prudent, we will have a thorough violet blue in the cold in which the rich warming effects, which often is not out on the palette of colours. This painting images suitable for performance and solid sense of texture, especially to Weimiaoweixiao figures to depict the delicate skin color changes, it is the skin of the flow of blood under the skin. It is the shortcomings of color gamut narrower, making the small, the complete works long hours and difficult in the immediate expression of the painter&#8217;s emotional and artistic creation.</p>
<p>Review opaque color, also known as multi-level shading. Monochrome painting, to use the old body paint, and then use color multi-level shape, often painted in the dark of the thin, middle-tone and the Department of layers of thick coated, or covered or reservations, a color contrast. Because of different thickness, showing the rich color and texture rhyme intended.</p>
<p>Transparent and opaque two paintings of the strict law does not distinguish between, often in an artist painting in the comprehensive use. Performance in the dark, or in the shadow of the images, using a transparent review of color can have stability, deep sense of the size and sense of space; opaque color rules easy to follow in the shape of the dark outside the body, increase the screen color saturation. Before the 19th century most of the artists using these two paintings, works of the time normally produce a longer, and some Huawan after a long-term placement, color layer to be completely dry before to describe.</p>
<p>An opaque color, also known as direct shading. That is, on the canvas after the outline of a body images, by virtue of the color images on the screen color or feel the idea of laying color, basically a Huawan, not the correct position by painting Daogua to continue after color adjustment. This painting by the dip in each of the relatively thick paint, color saturation, strokes are more clear, easy-table</p>
<p>To paint a vivid feeling when. After the mid-19th century painter of many more such painting. To make a color after a full-color effect, we must stress that the use of powerful T Tu law, common law into the Tu Tu Ping, casual and thick Tu Tu. Tu Ping is to use a one-way, and even a pen potential Tu large area color, suitable for the smooth and stable static image in the shape of the body; casual Tu refers to the physical basis for painting by the natural trend of turning point Yunbi, strokes compared Loose, flexible; thick Tu is full size or partially thick stack paint, some as high as a few millimetres of color or color, texture paint show the interesting image has been enhanced.</p>
<p>As a language arts, including painting color, shading, line, texture, strokes, texture, light flu, space, form a number of factors, such as composition, the role of the oil painting techniques to the modeling factors or to focus on individual manifested , Oil painting materials to provide adequate performance in the second plane base on the possible use of oil painting techniques. Oil paintings of the production process is skilled artist consciously to control the oil painting materials, select and use art to express ideas, create the art techniques to create the image of the process. Paintings by artists to express both the ideological content, language and display the painting unique painting of the United States ? ?</p>

Eastern and Western painting are used at the beginning of the modeling, oil painting at an early stage in the usually accurate to stringent Qigao contour lines, and tanks poured pull techniques in a row method is the primary means of shading. Western oil painting that later evolved into the brightness of the first and mainly, but nevertheless, painting the center line and has never lost a factor. Thin, uninhibited, Gong Zheng, or at informal staggered Dieya and repeated use of the various lines, so that more oil rich language, the different lines of the body is dealing with more important.
