"Tsunamasa, do you think what he said makes sense?"
Sakai Kazunari turned his attention to his son.
Sakai Tsunamasa did not expect that he would have his own affairs here, and he suddenly became nervous.
"Uh, uh"
He hesitated.
"I see that the petals of your lotus are all painted. Apparently, Tsunasa, you don't think this is a problem, so why don't you answer your companion's concerns?"
Uncle Sakai didn't let him go just because Sakai Tsunamasa looked very embarrassed.
He pressed and asked, "Did Gu Weijing make a mistake, or was there something wrong when designing this manuscript? Should I use color No. 2 or No. 3 for the core?"
Tsunamasa Sakai updated Showed hesitation.
A morning's work has put his brain into a mechanical numb assembly line state.
He painted it exactly as it was written on the manuscript. He never thought about such trivial issues as the color of the lotus stamens.
What color should the stamens be?
Everyone has their own opinions on this question.
Perhaps what Gu Weijing said makes sense, but these experienced painters generally don’t make mistakes.
Wait.
He was somewhat impressed by the author of this manuscript.
Sakai Tsunamasa glanced at the drawing paper with the corner of his eye and saw the name of the painter Kazunari Sakai written in the corner of mural No. 9.
The manuscript of this painting was drawn by my father himself, and the paint marks on it were also determined by his father.
Sakai Tsunamasa immediately felt confident.
My father is good at painting Ukiyo-e.
Ukiyo-e in the traditional sense originated from the prints of the Sui Dynasty, became popular in the Edo period, and was more influenced by Western painting schools than Chinese paintings. In order to ensure the effect of mass reproduction of woodblock printing, the control of pigments The control has reached a harsh level.
Although the ukiyo-e genre in its most original sense came to an end in the early twentieth century, painters now generally study variations and post-impressionism styles that absorbed some of the essence of ukiyo-e.
However, Kazunari Sakai is still famous among painters of his generation for his sensitivity to paint.
Sakai Tsunamasa didn’t think his father would have a problem with this kind of thing.
"You should use No. 3."
"Normally, when painting lotus stamens, you should use No. 3 off-white color."
Uncle Sakai confirmed.
"Yes, normally you should use No. 3 off-white."
He answered decisively.
"Alas"
Hearing the familiar sigh, Sakai Tsunamasa's heart immediately sank.
"You have a keen eye. You are right, but you are also wrong."
Issei Sakai completely ignored his son and turned his attention to Gu Weijing .
"Normally when painting lotus stamens, for better contrast, dark pigments or even gold powder will be used. However"
"This is an abnormal situation"
p>Gu Weijing captured the emphasis on the word "normal" in Uncle Sakai's mouth.
Professor Kazunari Sakai nodded.
“Because it is a mural.”
He explained, “The base of the murals here uses chalk powder. Compared with silk or raw material commonly used in Chinese paintings, chalk powder is more The fine water quality is relatively weak, and more importantly, the chalk soil is yellowish."
"Isn't that true? The adobe of the wall is yellowish, which can neutralize light colors and has good light transmittance. Paint."
Gu Weijing nodded in admiration.
As long as you work hard and teach these experienced artists, you will always learn something new.
"Come and color this lotus."
Sakai Kazunari signaled.
Gu Weijing turned to look at Uncle Sakai and found that he had no intention of leaving at all.
"I want to give guidance on the spot"
He was a little surprised that such an artist could give guidance in person, but he was treated like a direct disciple.
Although Uncle Sakai has his name at Tama Art Academy, it is the same as being an academician or an academic figure at the Polytechnic University.
The school completely provides good food and drink to such professors, for fear of being snatched away by other art schools.
Whether or not you want to teach students depends entirely on their personal mood.
The other party is willing to give me some advice here, but it can’t compare to the popular online paid knowledge projects like the master class that sells for 69,998.
He immediately mixed the paint and picked up the pen.
Gu Weijing used a gentle stroke, and gently rotated the brush around the color block, sweeping the light pink paint around.
This kind of brushwork is called 桡 dye, because the blush is deeper. This brushwork is usually used on the blush of a lady's cheeks or the back of the petals.
"When transitioning to the position of the front end of the lotus petals, the dyeing method is transformed into the thread-pulling method."
Sakai Kazunari taught on the side.
"Thread pulling method"
Gu Wei paused for a while.
The pulling method is often used to outline the feathers of birds, but is rarely used on flowers.
"Yes, it's the thread pulling method."
Sakai Kazunari said, "You will understand after you practice it."
Gu Weijing gently Lifting the pen, changing the contact position between the tip of the pen and the wall.
It’s really different.
He found that compared with the previous open-and-close type dyeing, it was much more delicate to draw out the color bit by bit, especially when dealing with the narrowing of the petals. Show advantage.
Experience value 5
Experience value 7
Experience value 9
Prompts for increasing experience appear constantly.
Gu Weijing somewhat understood why Sakai Katsuko’s painting skills were so exaggerated.
This feeling of being cared for personally by a master artist at all times is indeed an obvious improvement in one's painting skills.
He is really a little envious.
What Gu Weijing didn't know was that Sakai Kazunari, who was looking at him, also liked his understanding and hard work.
Artists like students who are attentive and spiritual.
For example, Gu Weijing’s previous confusion about paint was obviously the result of careful thinking.
The most important difference between a genius and a mediocre person lies in this little bit.
Sakai Tsunamasa’s talent is not bad at all.
Compared to Shengzi, what he lacked was this patience and meticulousness, and he didn't even realize it.
Gu Weijing is already a little better than his own son in being able to spot problems. This gap in mentality is more difficult to bridge than the shortcomings of temporary painting skills.
"If only he were my son."
"Oh."
He looked at Gu Weijing and then at the side Sakai Tsunamasa sighed heavily again, gave Gu Weijing a few words, and rolled away again.
Looking at his father’s retreating figure, the ignored Sakai Tsunamasa’s arm holding the drawing board felt even more sore.
Soon, when Gu Weijing completed the seventeen petals of this lotus painting, the experience value panel in front of him almost instantly came to Introduction to Chinese Painting 100100
Gu Holding her breath for the sutra, she carefully drew the last stamen on the wall with the tip of her pen.
Just like the finishing touch.
The moment he made the final stroke, the experience bar in front of him received a new hint.
Your Chinese painting level has been improved.
Current level v3 semi-professional 11000
The task of raising the level of Chinese painting to v3 has been completed.
The reward Mojie Notes can be collected.
Gu Weijing looked at the panel and blinked.
Item Mojie Layman's Hand
Quality Knowledge Card
Special Effects After obtaining the knowledge card, you will clearly understand its corresponding content.
Equipment requirements Chinese painting level v3
Master introduction Wang Wei, who worshiped Buddhism since childhood, was given the nickname Mojie. He took the meaning of the wise layman Vimalakirti in the scriptures and was known as Mojie layman. He was a poet and painter in the Tang Dynasty. It is said that his skills were as skillful as gods. It is a mural of Buddhist scriptures painted at Dajianfukuji Temple, which was called "directly pointing to the human heart" and "becoming a Buddha by seeing one's nature" by people at the time.
Su Shi of the Northern Song Dynasty commented: "When you taste the poems of Mojie, there are paintings in the poems; when you look at the paintings of Mojie, there are poems in the paintings."
Remarks: The mountains are colored when you look at them from a distance, but the water is silent when you hear them up close. . When spring comes, the flowers are still there, and the birds are not surprised when people come.
Unlike the sketching skills that can be activated, Gu Weijing only feels a little.A huge amount of knowledge flooded into my mind.
He closed his eyes and realized it carefully.
There is no doubt that the prosperous Tang Dynasty was a climax of the entire Chinese civilization where a hundred flowers bloomed, and layman Wang Wei was one of the lotus flowers that neither spread nor branches.
When people think of calligraphy and painting in the Tang Dynasty, they often first think of Wu Daozi, the painting saint who painted the Eighty-Seven Immortals. The second is Er Li, also known as Li Sixun, Li Zhaodao and his son. Few people can think of Wang Wei at once.
This is not because Wang Wei’s painting is not good.
Gu Weijing knew that Wang Wei was a very versatile painter.
Not only did he paint numerous temple walls, the then Prime Minister Cui Yuan wanted to paint a screen wall for his home, and the first person to invite him was his colleague Wang Wei. Moreover, he was even invited to paint with Wu Daozi at Daci'en Temple.
He is also good at painting landscapes and countryside.
"He began to use light rendering and changed to the method of hooking and hooking." This is the praise and summary of his painting skills from later generations.
It’s just that he is too versatile. As an official, he is a high-ranking official of the fifth rank or above who can wear the royal robe. When it comes to writing poems, he is an extraordinary talent who can make Princess Yuzhen stunned with just a few words.
In the education he received in school, Wang Wei appeared more as a scholar-official and a literati. Only a note about a famous painter of the Tang Dynasty will be lightly added behind those famous poems that have been read by countless people.
Gu Weijing held the brush and pointed it in the air, trying to figure out the feeling of painting.
This is different from Adolf von Menzel’s basic painting skills, another reward given by the system.
That skill gave him experience. In the state of activating the skill, Gu Weijing seemed to be possessed by the ghost of the old man, possessing extremely skilled pen skills.
The reward this time is knowledge.
Wang Wei experienced the Anshi Rebellion, which turned from prosperity to decline in the Tang Dynasty. After that, vassal towns were separated and wars continued.
His poems and songs can still be preserved in the world through word of mouth. His original paintings and related books and notes have been lost like the precious manuscripts of many masters of his generation.
The only theoretical insights on painting art that have been circulated in the world and are clearly written by Wang Wei are two short poems of 100 words called Shanshui Jing and Shanshui Jue.
This systematic notebook of Mojie is obviously the type that has been scattered in the long river of history.
This knowledge card is very magical.
He doesn’t need to read every word. As long as he concentrates, the relevant content in Mojie’s notes will naturally become familiar to him, as if he has excerpted and recited the entire text thousands of times. .
The content here is very casual, including interesting conversations with friends and daily essays.
There is even a seemingly nonsensical note: "Today, the housekeeper took a box of Suzhai and four snacks from Zen Master Jinchangfang Shenhui." This kind of note was obviously written casually.
Really make Gu Weijing awareWhat is a treasure trove is that the main content of this book contains large sections of techniques and insights written down by Wang Wei, a senior artist of the Tang Dynasty, about his daily painting life.
"The beauty of colors lies in the five senses. I often say that the pen and ink bring out the nature of nature and make the contribution of creation."
In my mind, I feel like there is a middle-aged scribe with his hands behind his back. Frowning slightly, he splashed ink on the paper while reciting various insights and experiences.
He secretly compared the two rewards given by the system with each other in his mind.
It is difficult for him to judge which reward is better. He can only say that each has its own merits, and each time is beyond his imagination.
If he really had to choose, he would even prefer this Mojie Notes.
Because the former is just like its type of skill in the system, more like Lingbo Weibu, a martial skill like the Six Meridians Divine Sword. The latter is a more essential mental method.
His current skill bar proficiency is still at the semi-professional level of 11,000, which is much weaker than Sketch, which is close to v4.
But it seems to have a pair of extremely wise eyes that span thousands of years. Through my own eyes, I look at the manuscripts and murals in front of me, and examine the level of those who come after me with the eyes of my predecessors. .
Gu Weijing took two steps back slightly and looked at the mural in front of him.
He found that when he was coloring, he could only follow the content arranged in the manuscript, step by step, and even if he was confused, he could only remember it in his heart.
Now, I can almost immediately get the answer from the experience in my notes.
If he had acquired such a skill before, he would have discovered the mystery of the color of the stamens without waiting for Uncle Sakai.
Moreover, his proficiency in the techniques of traditional Chinese painting is still far inferior to those of older painters who have been immersed in gongbi painting for half their lives.
But he has begun to find problems with the painting in front of him.
For example, if you compare the knowledge in your hand notes, the ink lines at the petals of the lotus should be thinner, the curves at the roots of the flowers should not be rounded enough, and the ink lines at the branches should be thinner to achieve a more beautiful look. Showing the tall and straight posture of the lotus
Gu Weijing picked up the pen, prepared to weigh the hot iron, and completed the coloring of several other blank spaces.
He glanced at another Buddha's rosette waiting for him to color. Gu Weijing mixed the paint according to the instructions on the manuscript and was about to start writing, but stopped again.
The color here is industrial red according to the original manuscript.
I should use a light red pigment mixed with safflower, azurite and cinnabar as the main body.
But Gu Weijing hesitated for a moment, and a line of text suddenly flashed across the Mojie notebook in his mind.
“Paired with cinnabar, the lotus platform in the painting will have a moist and lustrous color, and it will fly out vividly.”
Cinnabar, also known as cinnabar, the main chemical component It’s mercury sulfide, one of the dyes commonly used in industries such as alchemy and construction in ancient times.
Follow what you have in mindAccording to his notes, if cinnabar is added to the paint mix, when painting the lotus platform, the color will appear moist and lustrous, as if it is about to fly out of the painting.
