The classical multi-layer transparent painting method can make the painting appear different pearlescent tones, but because the steps and techniques of the painting method are cumbersome. By the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, European oil painters began to use the classical multi-layer transparent painting method in combination with the direct painting method.
Classical multi-layer transparent painting method can change the brightness and purity of the picture, but does not affect the overall outline;
The direct painting method can use the characteristics of the pigment, show the thick texture, draw a loud color block, form a vivid visual effect, and form a complementary advantage with the differences and different effects of the two painting methods.
Transparent painting method: it is a color mask dyeing, and the two colors produce a third color through visual harmony.
In the transparent painting process, the sketch relationship of a painting is done without the use of color.
(In the form of monochrome high-key, the sense of volume of the composition and the object is determined, and the color is added in a transparent thin or glazed color)
The color expression techniques of direct painting methods such as flat painting, dry brush, thick painting, scratching and rubbing are often combined with classical multi-layer transparent painting methods.
The later works of the 19th-century French painter Ingres, which combine transparent painting with flat painting techniques;
The realistic painting method of the flat painting technique with full color can paint the effect of clear layers of color brightness and excessive softness.
He likes to use the warm brown series of colors on the colored base, draw a very thin sketch, and use a combination of transparent painting methods during the drawing process;
The use of more simple colors enriches the relationship between light and dark, forming a special effect of delicate color illusion.
The combination of dry brush, scratch and scrub techniques with the classical multi-layer transparency method also works very well.
Techniques such as dry brush form a rough and uneven bottom layer on the screen, and use the classical multi-layer transparent painting method to cover and dye a transparent color layer on it.
The small potholes on the rough bottom floor are filled with transparent glowing colors to form pigmentation, making the picture fresh.
Angle uses a light gray and white base to paint, in order to have better adhesion, Angle uses a coarse grain linen, the base sublayer is very thick, to avoid the canvas grain to affect the picture effect.
The light of Ingres's portraits is very soft, which is different from the stage effect of traditional classical oil painting, and from the final picture effect, this ultimately reflects the elegance and femininity of women.
The specific steps are as follows:
1. Use a graphite pen to start the draft.
2. Use transparent brown to determine the contour.
3. Spread the color.
4. Use opaque colors for in-depth portrayal.
5. Use a fan-shaped pen sweep at the edge line and the junction of light and shade to remove the sense of brushstroke.
6. Wait to dry
7. Hood dyeing: adjust the subtle changes in color and increase transparency.
8. Varnish.
