1. Preparation:
Draw a background color on the drawing board. You can choose a lighter background color, such as white or light gray. This will help you see colors and shadows better. Prepare the required paints, brushes and color palettes.
2. Simple still life painting:
Find a simple still life, such as a fruit or a flower, and put it in the right light. Outline the overall shape with understatement, not too detailed. Pay attention to the effect of light and shadow, and pay attention to the change of light and shade of objects. Fill the basic color of the object with pigment, without worrying about the details.
3. Simple landscape painting:
Find a simple and beautiful landscape photo for reference. Sketch the basic composition with faint strokes, including elements such as the sky and the ground. Start from the far side of the picture and add details to the near side. Use a larger brush to add large blocks of color, and then use a smaller brush to add details. Pay attention to the layering and perspective relationship between different elements.
4. Simple and realistic portrait:
Choose a photo of a person with obvious facial features as a reference. Draw the basic shapes of the face with light strokes, such as eyes, nose and mouth. Pay attention to the light and shade changes in different areas of the face and fill them with appropriate colors. Add details, such as eyebrows and bright eyes.
5. Oil painting skills and exercises
Learn color theory: understand the complementary relationship and contrast of colors and the application of color gradient. Mastering color matching skills: By adjusting the mixing ratio of pigments and using different parts of the brush, various color and texture effects can be achieved. Try using different brushes: Different types of brushes can produce different textures and strokes, such as flat brushes and slender brushes. Do more exercises: Try more, practice more, improve your skills and gradually improve your oil painting level.
