Hand-painted decorative painting is painting but not pure painting. Although it and pure painting both emphasize subjective feelings, emphasize expression and freehand brushwork, and their artistic styles are close, they are still different.

Generally speaking, decorative painting is strong and exposed, while painting is weak and implicit.

painting has its own distinct personality characteristics: first, it is subordinate, and decorative painting shows its attachment and adaptation to the main body of decoration, that is, hand-painted decorative works are attached to an object or adapt to a certain environment, which is the basis for decorative painting to survive.

Second, it is independent. Decorative painting has its own independent aesthetic style and style. It dilutes the content and ideological content, strengthens the beauty of form and decoration, highlights the difference between artificial creation and natural state, and deliberately pursues the gorgeous artistic style of wrongly carved gold.

and painting not only pays attention to the formal beauty of painting, but also pays attention to expressing the painter's thoughts and feelings and distinctive personal style.

There are many similarities between hand-painted decorative painting and painting in shape and form.

For example, in modeling, they all pay attention to exaggeration and deformation, highlighting high generality and conciseness; In composition, they all pay attention to the pursuit of free time and space, showing the flat space without focus perspective.

In color, they all pay attention to simplifying the complex, not pursuing the relationship between light and shade, distance and realism, but pursuing the symbolism of color.

However, there are differences in the specific use of decorative language.

Painting decoration is more implicit, emphasizing natural carving, no trace, one integrated mass, emphasizing the personalization of artistic language, and paying attention to the integration of ideological and artistic.

Decorative painting pays more attention to the design of visual form aesthetic feeling of appearance, and has obvious deliberate ingenuity of artificial beautification. Its form is conceptualized, artistic language is stylized, and * * * is greater than individuality.

Therefore, its dependence, practicality and limitations determine that it lacks the freedom and independence of painting to fully express objective things, and naturally it lacks the artistic space to fully display the painter's thoughts and feelings.
