Personal Emotional Expression in the Creation of Oil Painting

摘要

Emotion supports and powers oil painting creation, playing a vital role in oil paintings' influence. Oil painting creation never lies in creating the color, space, volume and rhythm. Instead, it lies in painters' subjective processing of these artistic elements to express their own emotion. Emotion, the soul of paintings, powers oil painting creation and runs through the whole process of oil painting creation. We can feel artists' rich emotion before oil painting creation, and it is exactly the emotion which is full of love and humanistic care that impels artists to do oil painting creation. Because this kind of emotion nourishes artists' soul, builds up their aesthetic perception, becomes the truest part of the soul with richest emotion, and can inspire artists' expression enthusiasm and creation desire to the utmost. Colors in oil painting creation are subjective and derive from combination of personal emotion and objective colors instead of reproducing true colors of objective things.
