Realistic Painting Of Color Modeling Language Study

The exploration of western oil painting artists of light, shadow and color mainly went through three stages, namely renaissance, Baroque and the 19^th century, while impressionistic painting was developed on the basis of European traditional color theory. The impressionistic group chimes with those traditional oil painting masters like Tition and Paul Rubens in terms of highlighting the importance of light, shadow, color and painting technique. The invention of sophisticated optics, compound paint and the like in Europe in the 19^th century gave rise to impressionistic painting in the latter half of 19^th century. Impressionism set free the old color theory by pushing painting from studio behind the door to the outside world. And impressionism revolutionizes painting color structure by bringing in fresh air and sunshine, thus being true to nature in real sense in a scientific way. By comparing impressionistic and classic painting, the writer feels that the former one is of great reference value in innovating rules and skills of sketching, describing by drawing, adopting spectral color paint, preparing color and painting with conditional color. Impressionistic painting is particularly worth learning in filling shadowy parts with rich color. The writer ends the article with one of his own works named "Family concert" to show how he integrates theoretical and practical legacy of impressionism into his own work.
