An exhibition of oil painting

I had appreciated Chinese painting and even learnt drawing it. However, for western oil painting, I have no ideas. Recently, I am interested in oil painting out of no reason.

Oil painting originated in Europe, around the 15th century by the Dutch invented to reconcile with linseed oil paint, after treatment of the cloth or on-board painting, because after the oil paints do not change color, to reconcile a variety of colors does not become dirty, artist can paint a rich, life-like color. Because of opaque oil paint, covering power, so when painting from deep to shallow layers coverage, so have a three-dimensional painting. Creative canvas suitable large-scale, epic Giant for. The history of Western painting the main body of paintings, are now kept in the West Bank paintings are mainly paintings. The vast majority of the murals also work with oil paints and creative way of production. The late 19th century, because of technological development, many new materials used in oil fields, such as propylene pigment, paint and so on.

At March 14, after we had lunch at Round Table Steak House, Wynn, Frank and I went to a small gallery called Hai An Shu Ye to appreciate an exhibition of oil painting. The small gallery locates near Confucius Temple and when we arrive at there by taxi, the time was one o’clock already. We chose this place because of free watching. Looking around the exhibition room, I found one artwork just like Hutong. I am interesting in this one because the artist put the western painting skill and Chinese culture together, so this artwork expresses the essence of the western painting and the plain view of Chinese Hutong.

The exhibition showed oil paintings almost were drawn by Chinese. Although I think they all drew it well, but still a little bit boring. If the gallery can shoe some artworks by international artists, it will be better.
