Court ruling or no, gay troops know not to tell

ANNAPOLIS, Md. – When word came down of a judge's ruling that gays could serve openly in the military, an Air Force officer received joyous congratulations from a comrade. Realizing there was someone in the room who didn't know his sexual orientation, the officer pretended it was a joke and laughed it off.

On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Virginia Phillips ordered the Pentagon to stop enforcing the 17-year-old ban on openly gay troops. The military promised to abide by the order as long as it remains in place, but gay rights advocates cautioned service members to avoid revealing their sexuality in the meantime.

The Air Force officer was at work on his military computer when news of Phillips' ruling flashed up on CNN. A friend who knew his secret ran in and said, "You can come out of the closet now."

"I had to push him out and kind of laugh it off with the other person there in the office," the officer recalled. "It made me really, really nervous at first, because my first thought was, `Oh, crap. I just was outed, and I know that the policy is probably coming back. What do I do?'"

Glass paintings-1

As far as the value of glass painting, the value of figure paintings is higher, particularly the value of story with many figures is higher than the value of story with a single figure. the value of the glass painting is even higher in Qianlong Dynasty, because the oil painting also has a higher value and its value not only comes from its earlier age, but also from its efficient work, Most of oil paintings are accompanied by gold color or silver color, the most famous painter at that time is HuangDaSheng in Guangdong Province, His works are always nuanced and have some old meanings.

Part of oil paintings are efficient works during the Republic of China.However, most of the glass is thick and rough, especially the opening face of figures are not very efficient and their oil paints are dense or thin. so there have been many broken glass paintings today and few of them are protected comprehensively. Most of categories are large screen, table screen, hanging screen, etc, while most of the wooden seats are made from fire wood or hard wood. and some of wooden seats are sculpted by flower pictures.And the first wooden seat of glass painting is few so that the value of table screen is much higher than the value of hanging screen.

Glass oil painting is always ignored to be collected because it is not easy to protect, Nowdays it is rarely for us to see a comprehensive and delicate glass oil paintng, It’s possible for us to find such pieces in the second-hand market,but those pieces are relatively rough.So only by protecting those good glass oil paintings can they have the space of value appreciation.

Glass painting

Glass painting belongs to the category of multi-painting,it seemes that the oil painting covered in the glass, and the oil painting is framed with timber seat and placed in a long narrow table or on the wall, It is not an elegant device, most of oil paintings are also the products of Republic of China in the late Qing Dynasty. Glass painting seems ordinary, In fact, it has a lot of knowledge inside it. When we face a cultural relic, no matter which is large or small, The large one may be a grotto, the small one may be a playing toy, Firstly, we need to identify its age, material, the functions of work and etc. We also need to master much knowledge about cultural relic.

The knowledge of glass painting lies in the fact that it is a color painting on the glass, this technique has appeared during the Ming Dynasty. This techique is characterized by the thin glass and it is free of impurities. Glass is a natural and plain material, it can be used as wooden border or shelve and its technique of sculpture is very simple. Unfortunately, because glass is fragile thing so it is not easy to save, Nowdays most glass paintings we can see are made during the period of the Qing Dynasty and Republic of China. During the late Qing Dynasty,One character of glass painting is that the density of glass is moderate. Remember one thing,the year of glass is better if the glass is thinner,which is commonly called:”Good year”, but most of works as “Good year”are produced in Guangdong province of south China, those glasses are white and without impurities,And the techniques of oil painting are so sophisticated, For example,the pictures also including mountains,water,weapon and horses.

Techniques of oil painting

The historical conditions of the primary development for oil paintings led to the realistic trend of classical oil painting.During the European Renaissance in 15th century, as a result of criticism for religion,the humanist thought had active requirements for paying attention to the social reality, Many famous artists gradually got rid of the single creative theme for the Christian classics, They began to observe and describe those figures, landscapes, objects in daily life. so that those religious works had obvious unreligious factors as well as some artists compeletely described the real scenes in daily life. Painters during Renaissance inherited the art conceptions of Greek and Rome,which not only focused on describing an event or fact, but also revealed the causes and consequences of events or facts, so that the artistic techniques of focuing on the typical plots and images were taking shape. At the same time, artists were also exploring the use of anatomy, perspective science in painting so that the shape of scientific principles were forming. And the use of human anatomy helped the characters of hand painted  have the accurate and actual relationship among the distribution, shape and structure in the picture. The establishment of focusing perspective formed deep illusion space through the composition of picture, and it also made the landscapes of the paintings had the same visual feelings in the real life. The chiaroscuro made the objects and sences in the painting can form clear coverages from far to near vision under the same light. Owning to the restriction of tools and materials, the theme of humanism and the shape conception of seeking reality had not been improved.However,The characters of oil paintings tools and materials were approriate to reflect the theme of humanism and the shape conception of seeking reality. Thus, classical painting has become an image produced by the long-term, highly realistic operation.

The limition of tools and materials for oil painting led to the complexity of drawing techniques. For the past several centuries, artists have created a variety of painting techniques in practice, which makes the materials of oil paintings express a full performance effects. The major techniques of cheap oil painting are:

①The method of transparent covered color, That is a multi-level description to picture by using diluted oil paint without white color.Painters must draw color to picture only after the previous color has been dry. Due to the color of each layer is relatively thin, the color of next layer can vaguely disclosed so that colors between layers have delicate effect.For example, Drawing the blue color in dark red color layer can produce abundant effect that implies the wamth through the cold,which is often unable to draw in the palette.This method is suitable to express the feeling of visible and solid sense for objects’ images, especially it can vividly describe the changes of color to the skin of figures and make people feel the blood flowing under the surface of skin. The disadvantage of the mathod is the color is narrow, the procedure is careful and the time of one work is long so that it is unfavorable for painters to express the creative ispiration for art. 

The mathod of drawing transparent color, also called as: Direct drawing color. That is after drawing images on the canvas, with the colors’feeling for the images of onjects,painters think about the applicable colors and draw these colors in one time. And those mistaken parts of picture will be scratched and continue to draw colors on it, This method uses so much paint that the saturation of colors is high and is favorable to show the active feelings of painters. During the mid and late19th century, most painters use this method. In order to achieve the full effect of color for picture in one time, painters must pay attention to the use of brush-pencil,And the common ways of drawing colors are smooth,disperse and thick drawings. Smooth drawing is drawing colors to wide areas in a single strength and reasonal pencil,which is suitable for those objects in a stable and peaceful atomosphere of picture. Disperse drawing is using brush-pencil according to natural changes of objects,which is relatively disperse and flexible. Thick drawing is drawing paints in a full or partial manner so as to the picture have some deep colored parts,in which the paints can be interesting and the image of objects can also been enhanced.

Step One: We should make a warm middle painted color by black ivory,and make this color thin and transparent by using turpentine,and draw this color in canvas with a large bristle(using medium rough canvas) , Then draw the darkest part of human body—hair. Drawing the hair should use slightly thicker color, which means using less turpentine when we make a warm middle painted color. Even the hair is covered the entire face in the picture, but it is able to express the strong expression of figures. I do not deal with hair pieces as hair, but draw it into a dark colors with certain size and shape. Even in the beginning stage, it’s necessary to draw an accurate sketch, light and dark parts of picture.We should draw every part accurately,because each parts of picture are co-related. It will be impossible for us to control the whole oil paintings sitution if we can’t draw one part of picture inaccurately. for oil paintings led to This model began from multi-level hitting-figure and used transparent method of thin drawing in a single color.Firstly,We should draw a layer of middle painted color that made by turpentine and black ivory.Then we should draw all dark and light paint colors of objects by using the turpentine more or less.The draft made by this way is close to single colored landscape paintings and it nearly need to be further processed with colors.This model is favorable to initial learners to use colors in adjusting layors of picture,and it also help them get some emotional knowledge in controling brush-pencil.

Step Two: This step is drawing the image of human body clearly.We should use soft cloth to clean some previous colors along  the body’s arms and knees in the picture,so that it cause a light layer and form a middle painted color in the whole arm,We can change the painted color by using clean,soft cloth or turpentine pen,but we can not use untransperant white color during the period of hitting figure. During this oil paintings period,It’s equally important for us to deal with the problems such as sideline,darkness and light sketching. It’s obvious that these sidelines come through extended knees from the top of shoulder to the wrist, But it’s not so obvious that these sidelines from the armpit to the bottom of arm,All these effects are not done by chance.

Step three: Drawing all the major light parts of human body. We don’t need to draw these parts such as head, arm, shoulder and bended knee temporarily and draw painted color in these areas such as the lower parts,ass and two legs of the body. The color of these parts will become dry and we can use turpentine to clean it. The rest of parts seem to be blurry but they are still accurate to see. In addition to the particular light part in the final step, the painted color and shape of picture are correct,Its location is also appropriate.

Step four, This is the last step for drafting, all the details of the human body structure have been prepared. We began to draw the front sence. Firstly we use soft cloth dipped by turpentine to make the picture be bright. Then we use the large bristle draw a layer of black ivory paint to make the picture feel flowing.And we draw the background between two sides of human body in the same way.The brush strength of human body should be soft so as to we should use the large brush to draw the picture.And special attention should be paid to the co-relation between those clear parts of background and those blurry parts of sidelines in the picture. For example, in the below shadow parts of the arm. We can use large conic pencil to draw the painted color and use clean dry bristle pencil to scan the picture qiuckly so that the upper parts of painted color become blurry,The blow parts of the painted color is actually the shadow of arms between two legs. Then we use large conic pencil to slightly scan up the wet previous color in order to make the sidelines be soft and reach the unbended lap.Finally the sideline will be blurry.
