Styles of Painting and Art Paintings: Style is used in two senses: It can refer to the distinctive visual elements, techniques and methods that typify an individual artist's work. It can also refer to the movement or school that an artist is associated with. This can stem from an actual group that the artist was consciously involved with or it can be a category in which art historians have placed the painter. The word 'style' in the latter sense has fallen out of favor in academic discussions about contemporary painting, though it continues to be used in popular contexts. Such movements or classifications include the following :

How to Protect Your Oil Paintings
Protect Your Oil Paintings by some good tricks which are given below.
Step1 -> Coat the surface of the painting with a layer of varnish to preserve it. This should only be done by the artist after the painting has thoroughly dried (about one year on average), or with the assistance of a knowledgeable conservator.
Step2 -> Hang oil paintings in places where they will not be knocked over or scratched. Make sure there is no possibility of water dripping onto it. Avoid placing oil paintings near windows, fireplaces, radiators, heaters and a/c vents.
Step3 -> Remove dust from the surface of an oil painting with a soft brush (goat hair brushes from the craft store work well) or a pure white cloth. Don't use feather dusters or sheepskin dusters, which can catch on the surface texture of the paint and damage the painting.
Step4 -> Protect your oil paintings while moving. During the move, place them in a safe location, such as a closet, where they won't be bumped. You also can move them into your new home first. When your paintings aren't hanging, rest them, painted side out, against a wall with a padded surface beneath them. Do not cover paintings with plastic no matter where you store them. They need air circulation to prevent moisture buildup.
Step5 -> Never place oil paintings in the kitchen or bathroom. The changing levels of humidity will cause damage including mold and/or mildew. Do not allow people to smoke in rooms where valuable paintings are kept.
Step6 -> Wash your hands whenever handling an oil painting; oils from your hands can damage the surface.

Abstract Art
Abstract Art is a name which corresponded with representational, can also be called as non- representational. Its characteristics are lacking of description, and using emotional way to show concept and paint,which basically belonged to Expressionism, and first found in Kandinsky’s work. It was formed under the influence of a variety of anti-art, particularly improved by Fauvism and Cubism.
In Picasso’s opinion, “Abstract” art wasn’t an existing art. He thought that just someone emphasized on the style and life. While in Michelle Sevres’s opinion, abstract art was: “I call all without remind, memory that without relating to the reality – regardless whether this reality is the artist’s point of departure or not – the arts are called abstract Art.”
In fact, Fauvism and Cubism promoted the development of shape and color separately. That was Kandinsky who discovered its wonder further. In 1910 he painted the first absolute abstract watercolor, which was a non-representational, with desire, full with active overlapping color points. Kandinsky’s intentional creativity came from music and got inspiration for aesthetics, and then the Czech Kupka directly got inspiration from music for abstract art creation. People called him the originator of musician painter, later they constituted the abstract art together.

Oil Paintings Market and Oil Paintings Main Element
In recent years, the oil painting has gradually entered into homes of ordinary people. When people decorate walls, they often choose some watercolor painting, Indian painting and oil painting. In particular, oil painting is more acceptable.
In India, the painting market can be divided into three categories: Indian painting, Western painting and folk painting.
Indian painting emphasizes on charm, ink, while Western painting does not.
Western painting includes oil painting, woodblock, copperplate, sketch, watercolor, opaque watercolor painting and etc. Among these, oil painting is the most strongly in showing, practicability and decoration.
It was only 300 years since western oil painting had been introduced into India, and when they entered people life just in early last century. After reform and opening-up, a variety of styles and schools of painting have their own position.
On the theme oil paintings can be divided into the theme painting, custom painting, landscape painting, portraits and still life, and so on. But whatever the theme are, works mainly rely on two major elements: design and color. In other words, what oil painting uses are shape, light and color these three performing methods.
Shape also means physique. This requires artist must have the ability to shape, and have strong sketch ability. Without good sketch ability and want to do well in oil painting, just like a high-rise without foundation, cannot stand up.
Light, the show of luminous effect. The rise of France Impressionism led people to make research and performance on light. Painters understanding of light trend to be scientific and rational. Thus their ability in performing light had become realistic-looking. Light and shade of light are the important elements in foiling atmosphere. This reason was similar to the effect of stage light in theater.
The most important element of oil painting is colors. The colors are different from the colors on palette. Painters never just move the colors on the color palette onto canvas without changing. These colors must be artistic modulated carefully by painters in order to achieve color’s softness, visibility, and harmonious unity between color and the color. This is just people often said the tone or hue. A painting’s color can not be making up with different colors at random, either cannot be numerous and complicated and dazzling, but should be formed to reflect a tendency of color, and changeable picture effect.
Hue is the soul of the painting. Without hue, in other words, if a painting does not create a basis tone, without harmony unified color combination, then, we can say that the painting did not meet the passing line.
In addition to the above requirements, when appreciating oil paintings we should also pay attention to composition, brushwork, rhythm and so on.
