Oil painting materials are painting materials that use transparent vegetable oil mixed with pigments to create artistic images on cloth, paper, wood boards, and other materials that have been used as a base. It originated and developed in Europe and became an important painting material worldwide in modern times. Tempera painting, which was produced in European paintings before the 15th century, was the predecessor of oil painting materials. While using tempera painting, many painters continued to search for more ideal blending agents.
Today's oil painting materials are generally produced in an industrialized manner by mixing and grinding pigment powder with oil and glue. Most of them are sold in the market in tubes, but you can also make your own. The basic components of oil paints, like other painting pigments, are composed of pigments, extender pigments, vehicles and certain auxiliary materials such as plasticizers, stabilizers, retardants or driers.
The pigment powders used by ancient masters were mostly derived from soil and minerals, and some were derived from plants or animals. However, we modern people, even oil painting masters like Tang Lao Tang Huiqin and Liu Yizhi, rarely use homemade mixed paints. Basically, they find some special oil paint manufacturers to customize. The drawing boards and paints that Qin Yanran brings to Su Lin are all exclusive to Tang Huiqin. She is also a student of Tang Huiqin, who founded a well-known oil paint supply company in China. Every year, Tang Huiqin is given special supplies of paint.
However, now Tang Huiqin, the old man of the Tang Dynasty, hardly paints with his own hands. The occasional paintings do not consume much paint. Basically, these paints were practiced by Qin Yanran.
From the age of about five or six, Tang Huiqin consciously cultivated Xiao Yanran's interest in oil painting and traditional Chinese painting. Qin Yanran is indeed very knowledgeable in this aspect, after the age of ten. Basically mastered the painting methods of various painting schools. However, the ideological depth of the work is lacking, but it is far beyond that of his peers.
After walking out with the paints, Qin Yanran skillfully placed the drawing board in front of Su Lin. The paints and everything were placed on the ground one by one. Although it was messy, it was still very organized. However, Qin Yanran still didn't have much confidence in Su Lin. She whispered to Su Lin: "Su Lin, these paints are specially used for oil paintings. They are not the watercolor paints in our art class. What you... use Coming?"
When saying this. Qin Yanran intercepted a few fragments from her memories. These clips are all about Su Lin making a fool of himself in art class. He spilled watercolor paint all over the table, put too much water in it, or forgot to tighten the lid of the watercolor paint after using it up last time. . As a result, when I used it for the second time, I found that all the paint inside had solidified...
Pictures like this. Qin Yanran was worried that Su Lin would not be able to use the paint for these oil paintings. Therefore, while talking to Su Lin, I mixed various colors of paint. Including those tools for painting. He also placed them one by one for Su Lin very carefully, and patiently explained to Su Lin the use of each tool.
"Thank you, Yanran. Hehe... With Yanran, a good teacher like you, telling me how to use it, I believe that this is my first oil painting in my life, and it will be very good."
Su Lin, who has acquired the skill of "Brilliant Brushwork", knows everything about the techniques from the time when oil painting first appeared to the current methods. How could he not know how to use these paints and tools? However, Su Lin was not arrogant. Instead, he watched patiently and carefully as Qin Yanran mixed the paints like a little book boy, arranged the tools neatly, and murmured to himself.
It was very considerate. Sulin felt Qin Yanran's concern and tender feelings for him. He enjoyed this feeling very much, especially when Qin Yanran muttered and glared at him, dissatisfied: "Su Lin, why are you looking at me? Didn't you listen carefully to what I told you? "
"Listen! How dare you not listen to the teachings of the squad leader?" While playing with Qin Yanran with a playful smile, Su Lin had already begun to dip his tools in paint and conceive of his own creations in his mind. .
"Su Lin, is this your first time painting?"
Liu Yizhi was stunned for a moment after hearing what Su Lin just said. He heard Su Lin talk about the history of European oil painting before, and many of his insights were more profound than his own. He felt that Su Lin must be a young man who has been interested in oil painting since he was a child to have such a deep understanding of the history of European oil painting. learn. That's why he said that he would give each other paintings in order to get Su Lin to accept his paintings.
But now that he heard that this was Su Lin's first time painting, he regretted what he had just said. Talking and doing are two different things. People who can appreciate paintings may not necessarily be able to make good paintings. This is the first time Su Lin has done oil painting. Needless to say, it will be good if he can understand the tools and pigments of oil painting and create a well-organized oil painting with content.
Liu Yizhi was also a little worried about Su Lin, and tentatively said to Su Lin, "Su Lin, how about you send me a painting later? Practice more first? Or... you can also paint a Chinese painting, They are all paintings anyway, don’t just stick to oil paintings…”
"traditional Chinese painting?"
Hearing Liu Yizhi's words, Su Lin suddenly had an idea in his mind and said excitedly to Qin Yanran, "That's right! Yanran, please hurry up and bring me a set of Chinese painting paints and a good brush..."
"Chinese painting? Su Lin, have you switched to Chinese painting again? Have you ever learned Chinese painting before?" Qin Yanran asked with some confusion. Could it be that Su Lin had learned Chinese painting at some point and she didn't know it
"No! This is also the first time for Chinese painting. In art classes since childhood, weren't there only crayons and watercolors? Damn watercolors, those paints are so annoying. It makes me embarrassed every time... This time I want to conquer it. Oil painting and Chinese painting…”
Su Lin cursed with a smile, seeming to be reminded of the embarrassment he made in art class in junior high and high school. Su Lin made up his mind. This time, Grandpa Su would change his status as an art novice and become a great painter Su Lin.
Su Lin, who was determined to change his mind, had a great idea in his mind and was thinking about it crazily. Qin Yanran also quickly brought him Chinese painting pigments and painting tools. A lot of tools were placed in front of Su Lin, as well as a white drawing board in front of him. Surrounded by the expectant looks of Tang Lao Tang Huiqin and Liu Yizhi, they wanted to see what kind of work Su Lin was going to create.
But Fang Liping, who had not said anything but smiled and hugged her plump breasts, looked at Su Lin's meditative look and found it very charming. She smiled in her heart and said: "Su Lin, this stinky boy, how much does he have in his bad belly?" What about this kind of thing? Is it possible that this time it can really surprise us again? What kind of paintings can it draw that transcend the world?"
Fang Liping no longer dares to underestimate Su Lin's ability. She no longer treats Su Lin as a high school student who has just entered college. Judging from the magic and impossibility she experienced after coming into contact with Su Lin. So far it seems. Nothing has ever troubled Su Lin.
"By the way! Last time Su Lin's mother had a car accident, could the mysterious doctor who broke in... could it be Su Lin himself?" With doubtful eyes, Fang Liping looked at Su Lin, who was thinking deeply. . I feel more and more that there are mysteries one after another in Su Lin. Unfathomable! This is a fascinating man. You can never see through what his real bottom line and trump card is. When you feel as if you know him well enough. But you will suddenly discover an unknown side of him.
"Su Lin, you are really like a mystery that can never be solved. However, you always bring surprises to me..."
This was what Fang Liping was thinking at this time. At this time, perhaps the person who is most critical of Su Lin's paintings is the collector Yuan Hai, who has always been ignored and has no sense of existence.
"First time doing oil painting? First time doing Chinese painting? And then you dare to do it in front of Mr. Tang and Liu Yizhi? That is, he is still a child, so he dares to do this..." Yuan Hai felt that he could not look directly at Su for a while. Lin was going through the painting process. He remembered the feeling when he first painted oil. He just threw all the materials on the drawing board, and then just used his hands without using tools. As a result, he was covered in wounds all over his body. The camouflage uniforms are as colorful.
"But that's fine, wait until Su Lin gets all the paintings of Mr. Tang and Liu Yizhi. After I go back, I will approach him quietly. I don't believe that with my sharp tongue, I can't make him Is such a stupid kid selling these two paintings to me?"
With a small calculation in mind, Yuan Hai thought more and more that these two rare and famous paintings would soon enter his collection.
"Su Lin, you brought the raw materials and materials for oil painting, and you asked Yanran to bring the materials and tools for ink painting in traditional Chinese painting. Is it possible that you want to paint two paintings for me today? Haha... I explained it in advance. Yes, Uncle Liu only brought one painting when he came today. But there is no second painting for you. "
Although he was very confused about Su Lin's approach and felt that Su Lin's statement that it was his first time painting was true, Liu Yizhi didn't know where his confidence came from. In his heart, he believed that Su Lin could paint a good picture. of paintings. Perhaps it was Su Lin's pensive expression like a philosopher at this time. The complex expressions and emotions that only appear when older people and philosophers think about the mysteries of life, now actually appeared on the face of a spear-headed boy like Su Lin. The face, combined with Su Lin's appearance and age, is really inappropriate.
"Okay! Uncle Liu, look at it! This time I want to paint one, or two different paintings, or three different paintings..."
Su Lin smiled strangely, as if he already had an idea in his heart and started to take action. Under everyone's close gaze, he first started to paint, with paints and tools all ready. Su Lin took a deep breath and then quickly started painting. He did not use charcoal or anything like the traditional oil painting method. Instead of starting the draft, I started coloring directly, pouring various paints onto the drawing board quickly, and then spreading them evenly bit by bit.
There seems to be no rules at all, but in fact there seems to be a trace. Su Lin's confident look made Liu Yizhi even more confused. As far as the patterns on the drawing board are concerned, there are no rules at all. Is Su Lin going to make an incomprehensible impressionist oil painting
"Sure enough, this brat Su Lin doesn't understand oil painting. Isn't this the same as what I did when I first made oil painting? No matter what, just apply the raw materials for oil painting."
Seeing Su Lin's painting process, Yuan Hai smiled. I felt proud in my heart.
"What the hell is Su Lin doing? When Mom is painting, she has to carefully conceive the idea first, then start the draft with charcoal, and then slowly outline it with color. A good oil painting can only take a few days. It’s too short. Damn, this painting took two days to paint and another three days to revise. But Brother Yizhi’s painting took more than six months of busy work before and after to be able to create such a wonderful and unparalleled masterpiece. The work is coming. Does Su Lin want to finish it in one day? What kind of work can be produced in the end with such random scribbling?"
Fang Liping is also looking forward to it. But he was worried that he couldn't understand what Su Lin was doing.
"Su Lin. What are you talking about? Didn't I give you the charcoal? Why did you just color it without starting the draft first?"
Confused, Qin Yanran pointed to the charcoal on the ground and said to Su Lin. I sighed inwardly, as expected, Su Lin didn't understand how to do oil painting at all.
"Hey! Yanran. You don't understand. This is how I do it. Just wait and see! Let this oil painting dry here for a while, and I'll do the watercolor painting first..."
Putting aside the half-finished oil painting, Su Lin turned around and spread out Shengxuan. Then cut the raw rice paper, and the remaining raw rice paper is basically the size of the oil painting board. Then, just like oil painting, it starts to appear to be done randomly on the raw rice paper.
As a result, everyone is even more confused about what Su Lin is doing. What on earth is Su Lin going to do? It’s an oil painting, it’s a watercolor painting, and it’s both so unorganized. What kind of painting should I draw
Moreover, what Su Lin said just now is also very strange. What does it mean to say it can be said to be one painting, two paintings, or three paintings
People's curiosity is such a heart-wrenching thing. Being aroused by Su Lin's curiosity, several people were able to endure it and watch Su Lin busy there for almost more than an hour.
Phew! Phew!
Su Lin was busy working on oil painting and ink painting. He was coloring the oil painting and adding two strokes to the ink painting. It was like he was doing two things at once, and there seemed to be some connection between the two paintings. From time to time, Su Lin put the two paintings together and compared them, and then nodded mysteriously with a smile, which made the people present even more aware. I don’t quite understand.
"Su Lin, what are you going to do? Tell me quickly? Are you okay?"
Qin Yanran was the most impatient. Su Lin asked impatiently before he finished the painting.
"Just wait a little longer, just wait and see... I am combining Chinese and Western styles, and it has a good effect. I combine the characteristics of Chinese and Western paintings, and there will be different effects!"
Su Lin smiled. The idea for his painting this time came from what Liu Yizhi just said, combining the characteristics of Chinese and Western paintings. What he wants to create is an oil painting and an ink painting in Chinese painting, and then combine the two paintings.
There are differences and connections between Western oil paintings and Chinese traditional Chinese ink paintings, and they can be combined with each other. They have their own characteristics and characteristics. If they can be combined well in a way, there will definitely be amazing results. From the perspective of tools and materials, the limitations of materials such as ink and rice paper for Chinese landscape painting are greater than the limitations of oil painting materials. In other words, rice paper, the main carrier of Chinese landscape paintings, cannot use as many colors as oil paintings, cannot create as many textures, and cannot be modified repeatedly.
On the other hand, using oil and black on canvas can basically achieve the effect of ink rendering, making it easier to pursue and carry forward the strengths of Chinese landscape painting. Nowadays, the use of comprehensive materials in oil paintings is very rich. For example, when expressing landscape themes, texture effects similar to the Chinese "spot rubbing" technique appear, and some even paste landscape paintings directly onto oil canvas for processing and creation. Achieve a reasonable combination of different materials, like an "oil painting landscape" work. Secondly, there are techniques such as rubbing and inkjet painting to express a unique visual landscape. Figure 4.1 makes good use of China's unique Yunlong paper and rice paper, and their reasonable combination with ancient materials such as rock colors. The comprehensive use of this material makes the work rich in expressiveness and visual tension. It very well and effectively improves the visual effect of the work and the spiritual realm we want to achieve."
This time, Sulin wanted to break the rules. Combining Chinese ink painting and Western oil painting is his conception and creativity, and it is also a great attempt that he can achieve with the help of his "wonderful brushstrokes" skills. As for whether it can be successful, no one has done it before, and Su Lin doesn't know. However, the more Su Lin painted, the more devoted he became, and the more he painted, the more excited he became.
Finally, after two hours, the work was done. Su Lin breathed a sigh of relief, clapped his hands, pointed at an oil painting and an ink painting in front of him, and said to everyone. Please take a look, this is my painting.
"What? What is this? Why can't I understand it? Su Lin, what is this painting of yours?" Qin Yanran was the first to not understand it. She felt that the two paintings in front of her, no matter which one, looked different. There is no specific image or meaning? It's not a landscape, it's not a portrait, it's not a flower, grass, bird, or tree. It's simply incomprehensible! (To be continued...)
