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。
Chinese landscape oil painting pays attention to the light and dark details in the painting, which makes the oil painting more delicate. The light reflected by an object in the sun. It mainly focuses on space and volume. Strong contrast between light and shade can produce a sense of space. The main scenery can be painted solid and thick, and vice versa. 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, middle and far scenes.
