Artist Nicolas Poussina and his paintings(part1)
Nicolas Poussin(1594-1665) has been an
inspiration for countless number of great artists since the 17th century. At
the age of 18, Poussin ran away from his hometown in Normandy,
France, to Paris and began studying in the studios of
the Flemish painters Ferdinand Elle and George Lallemand, who later became
famous as the teachers of the great Nicolas Poussin. At the age of 10, he
traveled to Rome,
where he received two major commissions, Death of Germanicus and the Martyrdom
of Saint Erasmus, the latter of which was publicly debuted, although it marked
the last time he was to receive a public commission from the church.
After his first public debut, Poussin fell seriously ill, and was taken to the house of his friend, Jacques Dughet, whose daughter nursed him back to health. The next year, Poussin and Dughet’s daughter, Anna Maria, were married. While in Rome, Poussin met with many other artists, and befriended those with classical leanings, like himself, eventually forming an informal academy of artists and patrons, all opposed to the overbearing Baroque style. After his last church commission, Poussin relied solely on the private patronage for his works, and so in 1640, returned to France an was hired as s court painter by Louix VIII, who gave him the title of First Painter in Ordinary. Although he completed many works during his stay in France, he grew disgusted with French social intrigue, and so he withdrew back to Rome, where he continued to complete a great number of varied works each year.
In his later life, Poussin suffered declining health and a tremor in his hand, which may have affected his painting ability. Upon his death, he left no heirs, except for his wife’s brother, whom he adopted as a son, and who took the Poussin name. After his death, King Louis XIV amasses a huge amount of his works, many of which now hang on the Louvre, which has an entire gallery dedicated to just Poussin’s works.

The modern oil paintings material progress
Due to painting modern oil painting emphasizes direct and spontaneous, this requires that we on the properties of oil paint and method for reconstruction, will it be possible to achieve good results.
We can see his picture in the works of Gustave Courbet is in many places with very thick heavy paint directly up, in order to show a thick, simple style and effect. Van Gogh's works are also used a rotary stroke application of Quake to strong colors of paint, showing his unique like a neurotic's passion and inner intuition.
Compared with the classical period, modern oil paints is the biggest feature of the shape it has a very strong capacity. So it can be used to make a variety of artists enjoyed a high degree of freedom of expression.
Shaping ability of modern oil paints have a very strong, because in its formulation in a wax-like substance called stearic acid has been added, thus changing the classical oil paints that fluid state, and is paste the body at any given time. Stearic acid is not increased too much, nor too little. Adding too much will make the paint hard, use less paint and stacked up.
Modern oil painting reproductions is raw linseed (walnut oil) painting, cooked in oil in the modern oil painting little place.
Turpentine is still very important to the thinner, some use directly descriptive painters often used it to create a fully and delightfully effect.
The process of direct painting
Draw of the drawing and classical portrait oil painting methods directly in the program also are very different. Alla prima painting must be straight, reflects all of a sudden the screen's colors of black, white and grey layout and overall effect, then this step by step on the basis of in-depth. Alla prima
Paint will not leave the steps are as follows:
(1) draft
Sketched out the contours of the objects on the canvas with charcoal and deal with rough sketches, and some artists directly with cooked Brown with a little cool, or after diluted with turpentine, the Zafiro directly on the canvas in this process. Because Brown is an intermediate color, easy to coordinate with any other color. Ultramarine blue (some artists have used green, Crimson, Desert Tan) color of a sketched outline after the work is completed by some residual choppy edges, takes on a special color effects.
(2) tone
Easy fuel dilution and painted with colors similar to the colors of objects quickly out of the overall color of the image. Note that tone should be slightly stronger than the last effect you want to achieve, in this step color should not paint too thick. When the general tone should take the Lead on, tone draws a distinct, as constantly characterizations, various gray naturally will call this "far" hue is just right.
(3) an in-depth description
After a little volatile turpentine, with a thick paint on screen step by step for in-depth characterization, if conditions for comparatively long time best. It should be noted that a planned step to complete, only painted face today, for example, then the rest is fixed. Huashou tomorrow, anywhere other than the hand only when tint on the picture's background. Not finish day action painting knives scrape the thick color, to its base after thousands of pictures to avoid oil absorption.
Paint should be kept in mind while bright colors in General should draw more thick, and generally are required to draw relatively thin dark color.
(4) collective adjustment
After several complete oil painting reproductions detail-rich, some details may have exceeded predetermined requirements, remove unnecessary details, adjusting the overall relationship, the entire screen dash phase, some of the more prominent.
