Lines are an ancient art form that has been preserved throughout history. They are also a common visual element in our daily lives. In this paper, "amateur lines" refers to the use of lines from art forms or contexts outside of oil painting, emphasizing the incorporation of these "lines" into oil paintings to achieve desired expressive goals. This paper explores, through multiple examples, how "amateur lines" can play a role in painting, enhancing the visual impact of the artwork.
