Applying the Elements of Traditional Chinese Painting in Chinese Oil Painting Creation

Abstract

Applying the elements of traditional Chinese painting in oil painting creation is a research topic that scholars often pay attention to. They all use artistic works to analyze how Chinese oil painters apply traditional Chinese painting elements. However, when existing studies analyze oil paintings, most discussions only briefly mention that a certain work uses traditional Chinese painting elements, but the specific application methods and processes are not clearly stated. In addition, most studies use the works of Wu Guanzhong, Zhao Wuji, Xu Beihong, and Lin Fengmian as examples to analyze the application of traditional Chinese painting elements. Many classic oil paintings use elements of traditional Chinese painting that have not been studied. For example, the oil paintings included in The Art of the Party collection. Therefore, the researcher tries to observe the oil paintings in The Art of the Party as a starting point and combine them with relevant historical documents to study the specific methods and exploration process of Chinese oil painters using traditional Chinese painting elements when creating oil paintings. When conducting research, the researcher mainly discusses the specific process of selecting the theme of the work, collecting materials, conceiving ideas, drawing sketches, and formal creation. Then, the researcher tries to analyze the results that Chinese oil painters use traditional Chinese painting elements in oil paintings, providing new research achievements for this topic.
