Color as painter's important means of expressing the emotions and meanings, displays a trajectory of outside sketching to inside deeper development of the heart with the ever deepening of painter's sense of the esthetics. This process brings about the glamorous, colorful changed style of paintings. With a positive and verifying attitude and on the solid foundation of the art theories, the thesis through the meticulous analysis of the art activity history of the painters, proves that an artist's unique perception of the world is accomplished through painting language---an important formal factor.
