Recently, Xiao Dai shared with you several "big gods" who used palette knives to paint, perhaps because drawing with pens was too light and familiar, which made these artists become "Versailles", and they could also paint amazing paintings with palette knives.
The difficulty of painting with a color palette knife, compared to the brush, should be increased by at least ten times, because the level and sense of space of a painting require different color brushstrokes to create, it is difficult to draw a suitable brush stroke with a color palette, and if the technology is not so good, it will lead to a lump of color blocks piled together, which cannot become a painting at all.
The more difficult it was, the more one was willing to challenge it, and the artist François Nelli created a series of paintings, but also portraits, using a palette knife and vibrant oil paints. You know, the difficulty of painting portraits with a color palette knife increases. The portrait of François Nelli, full of layers of brushstrokes and complex colors, depicts the facial features of the character.
At first glance, these "knife paintings" are very abstract, but if you look closely, you can see the realism and figuration from them. The artist's ingenious treatment of the color palette knife makes a large number of scratched textures formed in the picture, which are revealed through the skin of the characters, so that each character has a unique personal characteristic, vivid and vivid.
François Nelli is extremely good at using color to express the relationship between light and dark, seemingly colorful, but does not give people a very chaotic feeling, but has a very clear sense of hierarchy and order, the facial structural features of the characters, but also through the cascading colors, from this point of view, we can feel the artist's extraordinary painting skills.
Really, talented people are willful, even if it is difficult, they will not be afraid and dare to face any challenge. François Nilli's unique portrait is not something that anyone can do. Next, let's take a look at the portrait of this talented artist who was "painted" with a palette knife.
