Oil Painting Knife are you using it right?
The squeegee, also known as the "oil painting knife", is not only another oil painting tool in addition to the brush, but also a very useful tool for exploring new ways of artistic expression.
In painting, it can highlight the structure of the work and express the centre of the picture.
Painting is an intuitive way of expressing atmosphere, and different techniques and forms bring different feelings to the viewer.
The main ways of using the scraper can be divided into flat, side stroke, side edge, rubbing, flying sweep, thick pile, dragging different combinations of knife to bring a variety of picture effects.
This means that the knife and the picture are at a horizontal angle, and the flat knife method generally uses a shorter, slightly wider oil painting knife.
Characterised by a horizontal contact between the knife and the picture, the knife is panned outwards or inwards at a slow speed.
Flat pressure knife in the knife blade first inward, and then downward slow pressure panning, panning at the end of the knife can not directly start, need to continue to press down hard, pause, recovery, in order to slowly start the knife. Flat pressure knife method is suitable for the expression of a large area of the part; such as the walls of buildings, the sky, the earth and lush forests, can be used flat pressure knife method. The colours used for the flat knife should be more and thicker, and the pigments should be drier. Usually the pigment is adjusted to 7~8 points, evenly let part of the original colour in the friction, produce unexpected texture effect, add lively feeling.
Oil painting knife on one side and the picture to form a contact surface knife method. It is suitable for tree trunks, branches, streams, paths, walls and corners in the landscape. On the basis of the flat pressure knife, the knife will stand up sideways, with the needs of the form performance, the angle of the side can be large or small, can be inside, outside, up and down.
The edge of the knife and the screen should be pressed together tightly, and then the knife should be flown outward quickly with a more explosive force. Applicable to landscape painting, when many objects are incomplete themselves, or the picture of the virtual and real performance, can be used to create the method of side flying knife.
Drag knife will be oil painting knife, in the picture along the trend of rapid drag to form a kind of drag marks knife method. In natural scenery, there are many objects presenting a streamlined state, water flow, paths, travelling clouds, fine branches, etc. all have such characteristics.
It is a knife method that overlaps the knife on the basis of making a good base, and then using side scraping; in order to enrich the expressive effect of the picture, in the painting of landscape oil paintings, it is often used to make the base first, and then the side scraping method is used to carry out the process. According to the needs of the painter, different shapes of knives, different techniques to produce a thick and thin texture of the picture relationship between the performance techniques, that is, the expressive power of the scraper.
When creating oil paintings, painters will consciously adopt different techniques in the light and dark parts. Generally speaking, the pigment is thicker in the light part and thinner in the dark part, and the contrast between thickness and thinness creates tension in the picture. However, in the thicker parts of the picture, when the pigment is piled up to a certain level, a squeegee is needed to fill in the paint. The use of force makes thick piles and thin scrapes a unique textural expression of the squeegee technique in painting. Stacking the pigment on the oil painting scraper and attaching it directly to the canvas can produce a relief-like effect that enhances the visual impact of the picture and creates a feeling of wanting to touch it. The use of heavy paint on the canvas can also create a sense of rhythm and rhyme in the picture if different directions and strengths are used.
