Third, the West modernism drawing with imitates to child art's model
From the second half of the 19th century, the Western painting world has had the tremendous change, was dazzled western modern painting faction, also received the child drawing in art formally as well as the performance skillful aspect inspiration, received the child to treat the drawing the basic attitude unconsciousness intense impact. To child art esteem and imitation direct reflection in their work form. Kerley has worshipped the child this naive condition, and imitates by own way. Kerley uses child that kind of encirclement, the coarse contour line in the pictorial skill, responded that in the work "Zoo", "He Yells, We Play" and "Female Dancer", in these pictures the line technique and the child sketch's line skill is very close, although it thinner narrow, is more exquisite. "Viaduct's Revolution" in picture simple even clumsy viaduct, displayed Kerley to draw the naive simple and artless image as well as the signifying image interest to the child. May feel this master similarly in Miluo drawing world to the child art esteem, in him in 1948 to 1953 many pictorial representation, the character didn't have the bodily performance, where the forehead to be direct take the sphere foot as on the terminal straight leg, the entire face looked like an anomalous ellipse or the circular, this kind of violent simplification image anomalous form, was also the child draws ¡°the tadpole person¡± the style, like work "when Carapace", "Daybreak Stared Antelope To cry To call" and "Drawing" as well as the early most famous work "Farm" has presented one kind of child Simple and artless style tendency. Afterward as a result of the war, Miluo work displayed feeling of the unprecedented terror, but the picture still maintained his that kind naive, the exquisite style. If the series "Constellation" and "Female Poet" is creates under war's threat, but we do not look at any rank smell of blood trace. No wonder some critics said: ¡°Miluo talent is the talent which one kind feels rejuvenated.¡± The doodle and child art are also the coarse local cotton Philippines's model and the inspiration originate, he approves of specially with the simple frontage and the side image and child's contour line style draws the easy mark coarse character, also approves of the child to transmit the information to the memory in the detail emphasis, the coarse local cotton Philippines even hoped that by is ruder ¡°the method which, direct and the definite way abandonment the day after tomorrow will learn¡±, will discuss one ¡°the time which will return to art basically, to form, under the record the child-like naive and the curious condition path¡±. In his early time work, what if "On Street's Man" in the picture describes is Paris's scenery and the life, has one kind of naive simple and artless interest. Hereafter, he got rid in very quickly the Kerley art that kind of fantasy, slightly obviously the naive makings, but changes one kind uniquely, to establish itself in the art history the status drawing creation method, creates some doodle shape the work, if at "the World Festival", we may see one kind creates disgusting wicked and the restless happy atmosphere by this law.
In the west modernist art incredible and the capriciousness with the child art in incredible and is at will consistent. ¡°the reason that the incredible art compared, the lofty art to display the human profoundly exquisitely for person's intrinsic vitality. ¡°This is the Western modern painting sends to the weird artistic view and the esteem. Modernist school Master Matisse, Picasso et al. absorbed strange and the incredible characteristic from the ancient times Africa's drawing and the sculpture, did not conform to the convention extremely in ours eye, but this and in the child fine arts' unconsciousness incredible idea was extremely similar. The west modernism drawing accepts to the child art mainly displays in appreciates their natural and pure, enables their work to have the simple and artless appearance, the French critics when watches their art exhibition, once said that these colors do not tally with ¡°the objective reality¡±, the artistic image understood with difficulty. Although looks like in the present a little exaggerates, however indeed in Matisse et al. in the works reflected the painter further changes the performance innermost feelings emotion, since this has also been near modern age the Western drawing gets rid in gradually the tradition the facsimile reality mainstream drawing technique new step, in fauvism drawing, painter's and so on Matisse some portraits has a characteristic, character's image often has the curving shape and the seal contour line. If Matisse "Bath" and "Seashore Women", these works cause the human to remember the child art certain characteristics, character's image looks like ¡°inaccurate¡±. The above these directly divert to the child art language's imitation are only even an aspect, the modern artists obtain naive, simple and the fresh intrinsic quality more importantly from child there.

Abstract: Unprecedented sincere, simple and artless and the fresh quality which this article through to the child art characteristic's analysis, after promulgating the West modernism drawing to absorb and to profit from child ornamental mold mark, forms, and unifies artist's concrete work analysis to further point out that the West modernism drawing is being different with the child simple and artless art essentially, is making widely known the unique artistic individuality, has the great skill seems like lack of skill, clumsy Tibet skillful art boundary.
First, introduction
The people pass have not realized the child at will and happy smudge have any special significance, is far from to the child art discovery and the attention, however, along with the human art history to the child art's discovery and modern art's production, child art is highlighting day by day in the contemporary art world's position. Now, ¡°child art¡± already is the concept which accepted generally, in child art that kind of vivid simplified, the picture harmony, the rich expressive force line, the bold pure color is spread evenly as well as that kind of unconsciousness creation condition, caused the Western modern artist to harbor the novel vision to derive the nutrition from the child art.
Second, West modernism master of art to child art understanding and appraisal
Actually does child's work have what charm? Why will attract world artist's vision? In the child art, the child often causes us by its naive straightforward point of view to clap and cheer frequently, is any artificial method is unable to hope to attain. Child art is the work which under unconsciousness creates, is the child mental and the state of mind nature reveals, often is presenting the artistic creation initial is also the purest fountainhead. Its composition modelling simple and artless interesting, resembles is unable the law, has unexpected vivid. Just like Hegel said: ¡°the child is happiest, all individual particularities in their body very good elephant also deep sleep, in has not launched in germ, but also does not have what narrow thing in theirs chest excited, in child also in change appearance, but also cannot see the worry which the acknowledgment complicated intention creates, what thus displays in the child drawing is they to the thing unconsciousness, the naive straightforward view. ¡°Child art has the creativity and performing, pays great attention individual feeling. The child instinct is soulful, can initiative, display the picture freely, the child looked that the world has their unique judgment, he looked the human comes, only saw that to a person's big end, on two eyes, a nose, a mouth, any ear, the hair, the eyebrow, he has not seen, therefore he does not draw a person's body, he looks not importantly, only draws a line to express. These pleasant object of observation the image is particularly bright in child's mind. The child is the picture its thought that but the non-picture its sees, therefore the child draws the work often imagines richly, is bold with the color, the rich vitality, has more intelligence. In the west modernist art, rebels against the tradition, the pursue pure and plain plain is its common goal and the key character, therefore, the modern artists went to as if by prior agreement the vision child art, moreover gives the child art by the strong approval, even to child's artistic condition and child's artistic work worship. Modern art Master Picasso once had said: ¡°I once could look like Raphael such to do painting, but I actually spent the lifetime time to go to the academic society children such to do painting likely. ¡°This at that time has the representation very much. Actually this kind had the performance to the child art's new understanding and the appraisal in fauvism there. Kangting Siji worships the child art is because he thought that child art is to the thing intrinsic essence intuition performance, he said: ¡°child besides description outward appearance ability, but also has the strength to cause in the form which the permanent intrinsic truth occupies it most to be able to be able to display powerfully. ......The child has one kind of huge unconsciousness strength, it expresses oneself in this, and enables child's work to achieve is equally high with the adult (is even higher) the level.¡±Painter Matisse, Du Fei, summer Jar, particularly Kerley, Miluo and the coarse local cotton Philippines and so on, has felt the child art charm similarly. The western artist yearned for that kind of unconscious ness¡¯s creation condition, ¡°smudged at fingertips¡± obtained the very good annotation in child art there.
A Few Tips for Those New to Plein Air
by Oilpainting-Arts.com Editors
July 7, 2009
1. Do not be afraid! It is a daunting task to paint outside for the first time. Give yourself the opportunity to have fun and enjoy the process and rejoice in the learning experience, do not expect a masterpiece, expect to learn and grow!
2. Keep it simple. Do not try to paint everything you see, squint at your subject and look for the large shapes, masses, forms, and light. And once you decide, then stick to your plan/vision (instead of "chasing the light" and ending up with a painting where the light on a tree is different than the light on a roof). Also, feel free to experiment by changing elements slightly to fit your composition.
3. Scout out locations/compositions before hand. Do some quick thumbnail sketches first, or take photos to study at home before selecting your spot. You might also try going out into your yard, or to a local park, to practice.
4. If you are nervous about painting around strangers, try to pick an unobtrusive spot. If people come up to you, anyway, it is okay to say "Sorry, I have a limited time to finish this, so I really can't talk now." Or you can wear headphones (even if they're not turned on ) and this will likely deter most people from interrupting you. Also, keep in mind that people are generally egocentric, meaning they do not pay as much attention to others as they do to their own affairs. You might think that everyone in the world is watching you, but in fact they are usually quite oblivious.
5. Morning or afternoon light gives the most dramatic shadows.
6. There are many ways to easily transport a wet painting. One way I came up with was to take a cheap frame in the standard size of painting I might do outside, and tape or screw a board to the front of the frame. You can then place your painting inside and the wet front will be protected. (Actually I made a "box" by attaching hinges to two frames in this manner so that two paintings will have backs facing each other. I can attach images of this box later.) The edges of your painting will, of course, touch the frame, but if you plan for this it's usually easily fixed back in the studio.
7. If I am not going far and I know about how much paint and what colors I will be using, I have taken a hinged tabletop picture frame with glass, set my paint out on that, and used it as a convenient palette. This way I don't need to worry about carrying the tubes of paint or setting out my paint when I get to my location. (Again, I can show a photo of this later.)
8. When done painting, I wrap the tips of my brushes with a bit of saran wrap, then I wash them out at home.
9. Don't forget plenty of paper towels for cleanup or mishaps! And also a plastic bag or two for trash.

In recent years, the oil painting gradually goes into the ordinary home. People who decorate wall in the house often choose some watercolor paintings, Chinese paintings and oil paintings. Especially oil painting, is more been favored by people. Chinese painting emphasizes the spirit, charm, writing, but western painting is not .western painting includes oil paintings, wood-print, etching, drawings, watercolors, gouache paintings and other species. And Oil painting is the expressive, practical and decorative painting of the strongest, Western oil painting was introduced only 300 years in China, but it gets access to people's social life only at the beginning of the last century. After reform and opening-up, all kinds of styles, schools have a place in oil paintings.
On the delineation of its subject matter, oil painting can be divided into subject painting, custom painting, landscape painting, figure painting, portraits and still life¡. But whatever the subject matter is, work mainly depends on two major elements: shape and color. In other words, oil painting uses three means of shaped painting, light and color performance. Shape, that is physical. This requires that the artist must have the ability to shape, to have a deep knowledge of the sketch. To paint a good painting, if there is no basis for a good sketch, this would be familiar to a no-foundation building, it could not be up. Light, that is, the performance of light efficiency. After the rise of the French Impressionists, people start to study light and perform it. Painter tends to have a scientific and rational understanding of light. And their performance of light and shade are more realistic-looking. Light and its shade are important elements. It is not difficult to understand when we look at the lighting effect of theater stage.
Color is the most important elements of oil painting. Color is different from the color on the palette. Painters have never easily to move the color of palette, which is created by the factory paint to the canvas. in order to achieve the soft and life-like colors, and harmony between color and color, the artist must modulate these colors carefully, This is generally known as the tone or hue. The color of a painting can not be casually colorful or numerous, complex or dazzling, it should be formed to reflect the tendency of some color and variety, subtle and delicate. Color is the soul of painting. if a painting have no tone ,it means that it don¡¯t reform a tone, or a harmony of color variegated combinations , then, this oil painting can not pass that line.
In addition to the above, oil painting also requires composition, brush strokes, rhythm and so on, it will not go into detail here.

Oil painting is more important than our think in our life .we send Oil painting to our friend or family as a present on their birthday or festival and holiday; we decorate our room using oil painting; many people collects oil painting as investment .how many kind of oil painting do you known?
According to what I know the kind of the oil painting contains: modern oil painting, classic oil painting, pop art, abstract oil painting, impressionist oil painting, eastern art, and so on, all these are on canvas, but do you see the oil painting on one piece of small leaf?
The leaf painting is a unique kind of art. It takes the leaf as a carrier through special craft reconstruction of image and makes full use of the leaf to create unique artistic work. The painting undergoes 60 multi-channel working procedures by the professional artists to bring back the leaf to an eternal life, contributing to art a new breath of air.
The earliest leaf painting have appeared in China, and India with main form: Using paint to draw on the surface of dry leaf to complete leaf paintings. In this case, the leaf play the role as drawing-paper, artists still have to use paint to finish their art-works. A basic drawback of this art form is: Leaf size is limited so that it will restrict the creative power of artists who require a bigger ground for their art-works.

Yourself or through a gallery
If you want to sell your arts?

As an artist, hate selling your arts, ant you? I will share what I know here. By yourself or through a gallery based on experience, is to do both.
You can also set up your own web page and sell your art that way. Be sure to mention any galleries, shows or other events your art will appear in and any awards you've won. This gives your buyer a better idea of how well your work is accepted by the art community and builds their confidence in your. I've made more sales selling my art on art sites and EBay. And my friend spend his weekends at all
art shows to sell his arts.However All mean that you have to be able to talk about it, and listen to customers' normal chatter, even will need to spend more time at weekend shows in all kinds of weather, and spend money on show fees.
Selling through a
gallery takes all of this pressure off. Galleries have their own methods and agendas for choosing the artwork they display and sell, but the galleries charge a fee for exhibiting your work. What you do is choose one gallery which fit yours. Once you've found a gallery that you want to hang you feel comfortable with, go there every month for a while and notice if the art is the same stuff month after month. This means the market there is stagnant of sales are slow. Of your you will have the bragging rights of saying your art is in a gallery, but you may not sell it. If they want exclusivity, be very careful. You may want to give this a try, but only for a short period of time. If it's a prestigious gallery that is very successful in promoting artists and making them rich, by all means sigh up. But I'd only give them a year at most.
How to care for oil painting? --5 Rules
by Oilpainting-Arts.com Editors
October 25, 2008
Do you know how to care for oil painting if you're first-time art buyers yourself? Don't worry about if your answer is not. There are little bit of information for the first-time art buyers to take care of oil painting which they have purchased and chosen to live with.
Here are just a few basic rules
1. Never lean the front or back surface of a stretched canvas on a pointed or sharp object, no matter how small. This will leave a dent that will disfigure your work. If you must lean it against something, lean it on the wood of its stretcher bars so that nothing presses against the canvas.
2. You might want to dust your painting regularly, so that a thick layer of dust does not build up which will dry out the paint and possibly result in cracking and peeling. Do not spray anything (like pledge) on the work.
3. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight will fade the colors in your oil painting. Please be aware of this when choosing a location for it. Never expose your painting to extreme heat, extreme cold, or to extreme humidity.
4. If you must transport the work, lay a flat piece of cardboard, mat board or similar firm material over the front and back surfaces, and then wrap it in bubble wrap or Styrofoam wrap.
5. If you ever need or want to get rid of the work for any reason, always contact the artist, who should be informed of the work's new whereabouts so he or she can update the work's provenance records. Never, ever destroy or throw away an original work of art!!! If you absolutely can't keep it for any reason, offer to give it back to its creator.
I hope these rules can help you and I hope all people should keep in mind that art is more than just a commodity. It is a piece of the artist's soul.
