Landscape Oil Painting

Basic knowledge about oil painting

Oil painting is one kind of paintings in the Western world. People use oil to mediate pigment, and draw it on canvas, board, ground paper or wall. Early painting use the method called Tempere, which draw with egg yolk or egg white mixed with other pigments. In the 15th century, Netherland painters van Eyck brothers used linen oil and walnut oil, and this method was widely applied. Painters can draw layers upon layers freely, and display the true and rich effect. Therefore, the new material and the new method spread all over Europe. Van Eyck brothers are called the creator of Europe oil painting. In the early 20th century, more and more Chinese are learning Landscape oil Painting, and Li Shutong(1880-1952) first introduced this way of Landscape Painting.

In the Landscape oil painting, subject, technical skill, symbol, space and light, style school and individual understanding are the six important elements. The line refers to the line which is drawn by the pen. Paintings are formed by lines in the early times both in the east and the west. Although the western oil painting later develops into giving the first place to light and shade, the element of line never disappears. The eastern painting also influenced the western one. Painters like Matisse, Klee, Picasso, Miro are the masters of drawing lines.

The Europe painting experienced several stages before oil painting. In the 1930s, Mr Ba Jing had a debate with Mr Zhu Guangqian on whether the painting of the Last Lunch was an oil painting.  Since Europe drawing had already developed to the stage of oil painting when it was introduced to China, quite a few people misunderstood that west drawing was oil painting only.

The history of oil painting is only 500 years. Before oil painting, European painting experienced the ancient color painting, wax color painting , inlaid painting , wet fresco , dry fresco , and others.
