Gu Weijing saw the 01000 progress bar on the skill panel.
This skill has no cooldown time, but activating the skill requires free experience points, and it is not cheap.
Fifty free experience points.
Activating a skill is equivalent to throwing away one million Myanmar Myanmar coins.
Although his current business on Fiverr is much better than before, when he upgraded his Chinese paintings to the level of a professional painter, the remaining free experience points were only a little over a few hundred.
If this skill is fed to the thousand times required for upgrading, it will require 50,000 free experience points, which is enough to upgrade the first-level painting skill of a profession to ten times. That's half a million dollars.
But Gu Weijing knew that
The appraisal and appreciation of calligraphy and painting has always been a very professional matter, and asking someone to see and talk about paintings is like asking someone to appraise a treasure. For experts, antiques are always not cheap.
When facing a painter who is not as good as yourself, it is not difficult to find out where the other person falls short.
Just like there is no need for calligraphy and painting appraisal skills, Gu Weijing can also analyze based on his own painting experience that Sakai Tsunamasa's sketching level is probably around the mid-level v3 semi-professional level.
But when it came to Professor Lin Tao, he knew that the other party's sketches were good.
Gu Weijing could only express a vague feeling about how good the painting was.
Aesthetics is an abstract concept, and everyone has the instinct to feel beauty.
But to be able to accurately evaluate and understand beauty, one must have a vision and sufficient artistic accomplishment developed by appreciating and observing famous paintings.
Many people do not have such ability.
Even Gu Weijing dare not say that he has it.
For those works that were far above his own standards, even he could only express meaningful sighs in shock.
Just like Mr. Cao’s picture of worshiping the Buddha and protecting the Dharma, he painted the moment when the Bodhisattva opens his eyes.
Gu Weijing felt a tremor in his soul.
This kind of shock is the infectious power of the master.
But from a professional perspective of painting, does he really understand this painting?
He understands what kind of skill Mr. Cao's light strokes reveal. He understands how turbulent the other person's inner emotions are
This is difficult to accurately capture.
This is why professional curators and art critics are so important to the calligraphy and painting industry.
The influence of these people on the trend of painting art is even greater than that of the painter himself.
Even many of the godfathers of the art world and directors of museums, portrait galleries, and art galleries were not born as painters, but as professional art critics or curators.
They don’t need to know how to draw, they just need to know how to appreciate paintings.
I want to invite these people to see the painting
Five hundred dollars
Sorry, who are you looking down on?
Please add at least two zeros at the end, and you can’t even get one.
To give a more intuitive example, a work of art is like a smooth drop of water in the Three-Body Problem or a lunar monument described by science fiction writer Clark whose ratio is always 149.
The eyes through which everyone observes beauty are the microscopes in the hands of scientists.
Everyone’s natural magnification is slightly different, and with the improvement of acquired art courses and artistic accomplishment, your magnification will become larger and larger, and your observation ability will become better and better. fine.
There is no perfect work in the world. If a painting seems incredibly beautiful to you, it means that the artist's level is far beyond yours.
Of course, if your magnification is too small, it is easy to see that all paintings are similar, and you will not be able to understand some art forms that are too advanced.
This is why some unlucky masters disappear into the dust.
Although Gu Weijing is not rich, if fifty experience points can dismantle a work from beginning to end, from lines to colors, it is undoubtedly very worthwhile.
It’s like following a top art teacher to guide you and make progress.
He walked around the calligraphy and painting shop and pressed his finger on a painting called Kingfisher and Bamboo in the gallery.
This is a work collected by my uncle.
Gu Weijing had always thought this painting was a bit strange before, but he couldn't explain why it was strange.
He threw out a calligraphy and painting appraisal technique.
The next second,
the appearance of the entire painting changed.
The painting hanging on the wall quickly decomposed before his eyes.
The beak, cheeks, silk feathers of the kingfisher, the claws dyed in rouge, and the hundreds of clear tail feathers
All the elements on the rice paper seem to have been dexterously crafted by a peasant woman. The spring silkworms peeling off the cocoons with their hands are pulled away and decomposed bit by bit.
A light curtain seemed to appear in Gu Weijing's mind.
The paint in the entire painting is made of pens and lines, like crystal being broken by a hammer, exploding into countless colorful and beautiful fragments in an instant.
It merged again in a very short period of time.
A new panel appeared in front of Gu Weijing.
The title of the work is Kingfisher Singing Bamboo
Chinese Painting Techniques v4 Professional Level 1 39685000
The mood is perfunctory
Gu Weijing blinked Blinking his eyes, the painting in front of him was still the same painting, but a new feeling of enlightenment appeared in his heart.
When he once again laid his eyes on the kingfisher picture hanging in front of the gallery, he could almost clearly feel the artist's brushwork and thoughts when painting.
The sky is high and the clouds are clear, and the fluttering kingfisher lands on the lotus on the river
Hey
Lotus River
He knew why he found this painting strange.
The kingfisher is also called the kingfisher and the fisherman in the traditional Chinese painting.
Because kingfishers are good at fishing, they are often paired with scenes such as lotus and rivers in the artistic conception of traditional Chinese paintings.
But this picture is called Kingfisher Singing Bamboo. It wants to show the mountain forest scene. There is not a drop of water in the whole picture.
"Why did I think of lotus flowers?"
He felt that the mood of this painting was strange, as if it had been deliberately cut in the middle.
Gu Weijing's eyes fell on a particularly thick spot on a bamboo joint that looked like splashing ink.
"So that's it?"
He held his chin in thought.
Gu Weijing saw that there were no customers in the store at this time, and there were guards standing at the door, so there should be no trouble. He took the picture of a kingfisher and singing bamboo from the wall of the gallery and brought it into the house.
He had already guessed what the painting was about.
If his guess is correct, this should be a scrap.
It is completely normal for artists to encounter unexpected variables when painting.
Sometimes it’s a change in painting ideas, and sometimes it’s just a mistake.
For example, if the color is not adjusted well, the brush accidentally touches the paper, or the dried work falls on the ground and someone leaves a black footprint in the blank space
This kind of thing Many art students have encountered this situation.
If it is an oil painting, you can use a painting knife and spatula, or you can simply cover it with other colors when painting the next layer, but rice paper cannot be treated like this.
If you don’t want the entire painting to be scrapped, you can only repaint it from scratch.
There is a joke in the traditional cross talk of the Eastern Xia Dynasty. If the painter makes a mistake in painting the beauty on the fan, he can change it to Zhang Fei;
Although it is an exaggeration, this situation is not uncommon.
Gu Weijing wanted to verify his conjecture. He felt that the bamboo in this painting should have been modified later.
"Grandpa, do you think there is something wrong with this painting?"
"What's the problem?"
Hearing Gu Weijing's question, Grandpa Before Gu Tongxiang said anything, his aunt had already frowned.
"There is something wrong with the drawing paper, and the picture is damaged or stained. It's impossible. Our customer checked it when we purchased it. Did you not pay attention to it when you visited the store a few years ago? , the painting is stained. It’s okay if I can’t do business, and it will cause trouble for the family.”
She started to make endless accusations.
This painting is not the work of Gu Tongxiang, but was sent by an art agent who is familiar with the uncle who is responsible for the store management.
In the calligraphy and painting market, there are big fish, small fish, and shrimps underneath the small fish.
Gu’s calligraphy and painting shop and Komatsu Gallery are as shabby as street stalls, but in Yangon this areaFang, it is already considered a big deal in the gallery.
The high-end galleries in Yangon are mainly concentrated in a few areas in two areas.
One is the Yangon Riverbank where cruise ships come and go every day. There are also several similar calligraphy and painting shops scattered in several streets in the wealthy areas of the north and the golden village of Denvaey where diplomats gather.
The main service targets of these galleries are foreign tourists.
The rest are scattered in various shopping streets, snack streets, alleys selling tourist souvenirs and other calligraphy and painting night markets with a large flow of people.
Most of the works sold here are painted by students studying at the Academy of Fine Arts. They are hung on horizontal wires or spread on the ground like drying rags.
There is a certain industrial gap between the finely decorated small museum-style art galleries like Gu's calligraphy and painting shop and the small street stalls that cannot be mounted on the countertop.
In the small stalls on the street, even if there are occasional high-quality products, they cannot be sold at high prices.
The business of Gu's calligraphy and painting shop is not big enough to have a complete set of lower-level contract brokers and agent artists like those large galleries, and there is a continuous flow of paintings.
Basically the only fixed "signed" artist is the old man Gu Tongxiang.
In recent years, the old man has gotten older, and Gu Weijing is too young and not well-known, so he often needs small art agents and second-hand dealers to purchase goods.
These agents have some connections. They will collect good art works and ancient paintings in the corners of various cities, or through various relationships, they can get a few pieces from local painters they are familiar with. Zhang’s works and so on.
If you can find a buyer, sell it yourself.
If you can’t find a painting for sale, send it to a secondary market like Gu’s Painting and Calligraphy Shop, and ask the painting and calligraphy shop if they are willing to sell it on their behalf or take it away directly.
This has formed an industrial chain.
This picture of kingfishers singing in bamboos was bought by Gu Weijing’s uncle from an art dealer for more than two million kyats.
About a thousand dollars, which is not cheap for a calligraphy and painting shop of their size.
When her nephew said there was something wrong with this painting, my aunt immediately became unhappy. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
