Description of the picture
There are various genres in the world of painting, which include portrait, landscape, still life, historical painting and so on. Still life belongs to narrow genres, not so wide spread, but there still are outstanding masters who are capable to demonstrate all the beauty of this style to the viewer.
Shin Jong Sik is a watercolourist and modern Korean painter who is famous for his marvelous pictures in watercolour technique, which are depicted in clear, transparent colors and which raise a sincere feeling of admiration. Mostly Shin Jong Sik pictures colorful still-life paintings. Shin Jong Sik was born in Seoul, South Korea. Currently the painter serves as Professor of the Painting Department at Hong-Ik University’s Fine Arts College.
Take a look at one of the Shin Jong Sik’s works. The picture is executed in watercolor with subtle and delicate colouring and a big amount of light. The painter reaches the effect of inner glow by emphasizing or muting specific parts of the picture according with the colour scheme. The picture looks quite realistic due to elaborated pieces of the work. Various undertones of the same color merge into a harmonious unity as you can see it in the coloring the lemon or pomegranate – what reflects brilliant combination of form and colour.
As a conclusion I want to say that the painter Shin Jong Sik’s interesting compositions and skillful use of light and shadow add depth and brilliance to his paintings. Below I gathered more works of the painter with their fascinating shading-off and bright atmosphere.

    There is an overpowering use of cool colors in the painting as the different shades of blue in the water control the overall mood of the painting. The bits of green used in some flags, boats and an area of the water to the right of the painting help to keep that coolness. The use of the warm red, yellow, and orange colors help to warm up the painting just a bit by adding a bit of “pop” to it. All of the warm colors are very intense and appear to be pure. The monochromatic harmony of the blue water has different levels of intensity as the dark blue has a lower intensity.…

    One of the most renowned emerging artists of the contemporary art since 1945, Binh Danh was born 9 October 1977, and this Vietnamese-born photographer and artist is most renowned for opening up the enthralling method of printing directly on plant leaves. As in the case of several celebrated artists, Binh Danh also attempted to convey the sanctified visions of his experience which are formed in relation to political violence in his surroundings. Danh along with his family was forced flee Vietnam on a boat at the end of the war in the country and they took refuge in Malaysia. Later in 1979, Binh Danh’s family migrated to California, in the United States, where he is settled now. The artist completed his Bachelor of Fine Arts in photography from San Jose State University in 2002 and his Master of Fine Arts from Stanford University in 2004. Significantly, Binh Danh was one of the youngest artists to be offered admission for M.F.S. in Stanford University and he selected the subject of studio art for his Master’s degree. “During his college years Danh invented a unique process for photo-synthetically transferring photo images onto the surfaces of leaves. His first return trip to Vietnam inspired him to create a revelatory body of work employing this technique, what he calls ‘chlorophyll prints.’” (Barlow and Hammer, 7-8) Today, Binh Danh has emerged as a celebrated artist of national importance and his works offer convincing evidence to his Vietnamese heritage and the collective memory of the war in Viet Nam and Cambodia. This paper makes a reflective analysis of the life and works of the artist Binh Danh in order to comprehend the themes, techniques, background, etc of his art works.…

    Fan Kuan had demonstrated this through the usage of clear outlines of the subjects to reinforce their dimensionality, rendering them to be more alive in the painting. With contrasting ink tones in the painting, this contributes to creating an illusion of space, on top of generating the mood and atmosphere of the scenery. As much as the painter is being inspired by his religion, this landscape painting has been successful in making the viewers feel as if they are inside the picture. It is no wonder that such masterpiece is recognized as one of the model landscape paintings in the Chinese art history with Fan Kuan’s intricate artistic…

    Figure 2 is a frame from Oldboy that evokes the clear message of ‘insanity’, shown by the expression on the characters face along with the deranged almost primitive hair. Additionally, the lighting that is used allows the scene to have a more dramatic uneasiness about it yet draws the audience in, because of the offset of the lamp and the shadows that are cast along the back wall as the light source is within the frame; this creates an increase in depth. Here Chan-Wook uses a backlight to make the wall appear and add additional texture to the scene to contrast against the subject so that his shadows won’t get lost in the darkness. The additional soft key light that is not included in the frame is used to light the subject’s face and particularly his crazed expression. Chan-Wook has mixed colour temperatures to show the confusion within the frame because the key light is not the same type of light as the backlight.…
