Monet said: "Painting is good or bad, close your eyes, touch the canvas to judge." ”
Texture is the texture that can be seen and felt in oil painting, convex and concave, thick and thin, thick and light, color layer, pigment, coating type are important elements that constitute texture.
Texture can be seen as the performance of the comprehensive use of materials and techniques.
In Monet's work, figurative textures are used in a mixture of intentional textures.
Figuration is used to express the color and structure of the painted object.
The texture of intention is a portrayal of the mood in the work.
In the texture of intent, Monet tends to use curved linear brushstrokes to create a posture of overall flow of objects;
Claude Monet, The Rocks at Belle-Ile
Created by Claude Monet in 1886. Monet is known for his wonderful performances with his energetic brushwork.
The brushstrokes of the sky stand in stark contrast to the rest.
Monet depicts clouds of the sky with a loose brushstroke on an orange background, blending into the water with a blurred edge that represents the horizon.
The changeable brushstrokes near the foreground of the painting help to give the painting that sense of depth.
Color is the most stunning element of this painting, with soft orange, pink and yellow that contrast beautifully with the rich blue and purple rocks and shadows in the sunset.
Monet's use of brushstrokes and texture has two characteristics:
1. Juxtaposition and staggered cross-use.
2. Pay attention to the overall brush stroke flow direction of the picture, which causes momentum to the picture.
The colors, lines, and blocks in the texture have a rhythm and rhythm, and the rhythm and rhythm and the rhythm of some emotions of people have the sameness, so that people have an emotional fit;
The formation of the texture of oil painting is related to three factors:
Substrate: Different textures of linen cloth undergo different treatments to form a substrate with different textures.
For example, the surface of coarse texture linen will be relatively rough and have obvious lines, and the surface of fine texture linen will be more delicate, and the texture of the cloth surface can be eliminated under the condition of sanding and flat bottoming.
Brushwork: different pens and different painting methods will form different textures, classical painters often use soft round-toed pens to use indirect painting methods, the color layer is relatively flat and thin, it is not easy to see the undulations.
Modern painters like to use bristle brushes combined with direct painting methods to paint, the color layer is relatively thick, the undulations are more, and it is easy to see the brush strokes.
Blender:
The oil painting blender is divided into oil and emulsion type, the surface gloss of the work drawn by the oil blender is relatively high, and the surface of the work drawn by the emulsion type blender is matte effect, and the luster is more subtle.
No matter what kind of additive is used, it will affect the adhesion of the color. If a large number of additives are used, varnish can be used to increase the adhesion of this medium and make the surface glossy.
In the process of painting, it can be changed by thin, thick, thin, thick and other colors, and directly make uneven rough effects by borrowing brush strokes and knife methods.
Or mix sand, sawdust, glass scraps, bread residue and other granular materials into the pigment to make texture.
