中国风景油画注重画中的明暗细节，使得油画更具细腻性。油画在阳光照射下物体所反射的光线。主要强调空间和体积，明暗对比强可以产生空间感。主要的景物可画得实、浓一些，反之要虚、淡。这样不但表现出画面的情趣，也增强了空间感。空间层次的表现，关键在于处理好近、中、远三个层次的景物。我们要学会面对复杂的景物，有意识地进行组织，将景物加以归纳，运用透视、色彩知识及各种处理手法。冷与暖是油画风景的精髓。在自然光的照射下，亮部呈暖色，相对，暗部呈冷色。比如：亮部是偏黄，暗部就要偏紫（对比色）。冷暖对比也可以产生空间，近景偏暖，远景就要偏冷。颜料的厚与薄：近景要厚，远景要薄。因为薄的话，就能把远景推得很远，反之颜料厚就能把薄与厚的距离拉开了，有很多画家都会把颜料堆厚做肌理呢。
Chinese landscape oil painting pays attention to the details of light and shade, which makes oil painting more delicate. The light reflected by an object in the sunshine of an oil painting. It mainly emphasizes space and volume. Strong contrast between light and shade can produce a sense of space. The main scenery can be painted solid and denser, on the contrary, it should be empty and light. This not only shows the interest of the picture, but also enhances the sense of space. The key to the performance of spatial level is to deal with the near, medium and far-reaching scenery. We should learn to organize the complex scenery consciously, summarize the scenery, and use perspective, color knowledge and various processing techniques. Cold and warm are the essence of oil painting scenery. Under the irradiation of natural light, the bright part is warm, while the dark part is cold. For example: the bright part is yellow, the dark part is purple (contrast color). Cold and warm contrast can also produce space, warm close-range, the future will be cold. Thickness and thinness of pigments: thick in the near future and thin in the future. Because thin words can push the vision far, otherwise thick paints can pull the distance between thin and thick. Many painters will pile up thick paints to make texture.
