Gu Weijing closed his eyes and felt the rich content contained in this summary of the essence of new body painting written by the system.
Hold the brush, hold the oil brush, mix colors, use the brush, focus perspective
A large amount of information flows through his mind,
let his eyes I even had colorful hallucinations, as if I had walked into the Forbidden City of the Qing Dynasty three hundred years ago, and I was witnessing with my own eyes how this foreign painter, who was awarded the third rank of Emperor Qianlong and wore a flower feather on his head, painted.
The Mojie Notes of Wang Wei that he once obtained.
That book is more like a literati essay by a traditional scholar-bureaucrat in the Eastern Xia Dynasty, with a strong literary temperament.
Although there are many painting techniques that are refreshing and inspiring,
However, this summary of the essence of new style painting is still far from the explanation of the painting techniques of Lang Shining's works. Comprehensive and detailed.
The works of court painters like Lang Shining are inherited in an orderly manner, just like the porcelain from official kilns, and rarely find their way into the folk.
Therefore, the Forbidden City on both sides of the Taiwan Strait in the Eastern Xia Dynasty and museums in the United States, Japan, and France have collected more than 90% of Castiglione's works, and most of them are well protected.
There are many experts and scholars at home and abroad who specialize in the study of new body painting techniques.
However, the painting techniques are restored based on the completed works. It is still based on the artist's own painting experience to figure out and study the works.
The difficulty of the two is completely different.
The rich colors and gorgeous visual appearance of the work are made up of the most subtle brushwork interwoven layer by layer.
Thinking about it is like inferring from a grand symphony how the fingertips of the first violinist's left hand gently tease the strings as thin as hair.
It's not impossible, just very difficult.
In history, there are actually many painting techniques that have been left behind but lost.
The double hook and heavy color technique of Chinese painting, certain pigment formulas of Western tempera painting, and the light perspective technique of the Renaissance
Some are due to war, and some are due to the complexity of the techniques. Some are due to the self-preservation of niche painting schools, or even simply because certain pigment ores were exhausted a hundred years ago.
It can only leave future generations of scholars to rack their brains to speculate and recover with futile sighs.
Gu Weijing also didn’t know that
This art theory work is a systematic restoration and summary based on Lang Shining’s works. Or maybe in history, the artist Castiglione really wrote down his technical experience, but it was lost in the long river of time without being known to outsiders.
Lang Shining's own specific painting techniques are like a black box.
There are many records about his painting characteristics in the literature, such as "grand scenes, clear brushwork, delicate paintings, and no single failure".
There are almost no records of detailed painting methods.
In the memoirs of Nian Xiyao, the famous minister of the Qing Dynasty and the great painter and minister of the Ministry of Industry, he mentioned a few words that he once followed Lang ShiNing studied Western heavy painting and benefited a lot from it.
As well as records in the Qing Dynasty Daily Record, Qianlong once ordered, "Select six smart and delicate children from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to learn line drawing from Lang Shining and others. This painting method is quite delicate and refreshing. , must not be lost.”
The fact that future generations can find these fragments of historical records makes people’s imagination endless.
Gu Weijing is well aware of the preciousness of this system reward.
In the history of Eastern Xia, there were actually very few professional art "textbooks".
The famous painting classics and the Six Methods of Painting are often just literary works that describe the philosophy of art from a macro perspective, rather than teaching techniques.
I want to learn the real thing.
Otherwise, it will be a good pregnancy.
Otherwise, you can first work with the teacher as a painting boy serving tea and water for five, six, or seventy-eight years. Then he will be an apprentice for a few years, and finally his character will be tested, and he will defeat six generals after passing five levels. It is considered too many for a great painter to have five or six true disciples in his lifetime.
The apprentice wished he was more important than his son.
This is why Mr. Cao’s recruitment of disciples will be a major event that shocks the animation world.
In ancient times, if the Wen Zong and the Painting Sect of the scholar-bureaucrat class accepted closed disciples, the emperor might be concerned about it.
The court painters who made a living by painting were even less willing to teach others their housekeeping skills.
From father to son, son to grandson, hereditary iron rice bowl.
As long as you don’t lose your craftsmanship, you will never die of hunger.
It wasn’t until Gu Weijing learned to paint when he was a child. When the old man taught him the traditional Chinese painting techniques passed down from his family, even if they weren’t very advanced, even his uncle who didn’t do this was not allowed to listen.
This meticulous summary of the essence of new body painting that explains painting techniques is undoubtedly worth a thousand dollars.
In ancient times, just reading this book thoroughly was enough for a top painter to establish a sect. In martial arts, this is a unique secret book that is enough to cause a bloody storm in the world.
With this book,
I should have a solution to the sense of fragmentation in the fusion painting style that has been bothering me.
Gu Weijing suppressed the excitement in his heart, quickly threw all kinds of random thoughts out of his mind, and calmed down.
He knows that
the system only gives knowledge cards, not one-stop skills.
What is needed between understanding how to draw and actually making the drawing come alive on paper is often extremely boring practice and hard work.
The tips in Mojie's Notes are more empirical than technical.
Take mixing cinnabar with your fingers as an example. I found that this trick requires a lot of experience, but after knowing the method, even a kindergarten child can easily do it.
Even so,
it took Gu Weijing a full noon to adjust the most appropriate colors on the mural of the Buddha and the Protector.
Berryman’s solution to human body structureCross-section, and only with Menzel's basic painting skills, which has a terrifying v9 sketching technique, can the stunning effect be achieved.
If it were Gu Weijing's original sketching level, he would immediately become a dog riding Lu Bu, which can only be said to be amazing among middle school students.
If you want to really use the knowledge cards rewarded by the system for your own use, and draw like Lang Shining, you still need to practice.
The lights of Gu's calligraphy and painting shop are still on at night.
After returning home, Gu Weijing was not in a hurry to go back to his bedroom today.
He just got a new knowledge card. If he doesn’t draw something, it will be difficult for him to fall asleep.
Gu Weijing wandered around the facade of his small gallery for a while, and finally stopped in front of a wall.

Gu Weijing carefully took the scroll off the wall and placed it on the table aside.
This scroll is a collection-level cultural relic replica produced by the East Xia Cross-Strait Palace Museum Cultural Relics Collection Exchange Project in 2017.
At that time, in addition to issuing some imitations of famous paintings, they also produced some commemorative lacquerware, fine blue and white porcelain and so on.
Although the collectible print is reproduced and printed by machine, Castiglione's original painting brushstrokes are well preserved. It is not comparable to the cheap souvenirs sold in front of tourist attractions.
The purchase cost of each piece was more than 800 US dollars.
At that time, Mr. Gu bought a batch of Castiglione’s works.
Except for this painting of Immortal Calyx and Changchun In addition to the bean curds in the book, there are also several pictures of Ju Rui and Emperor Qianlong's Great Reading for sale in the store.
The sales are pretty good.
The galleries in Yangon are basically mainly engaged in business with foreign tourists.
European and American tourists come to Southeast Asia. When visiting galleries, in addition to local oil paintings, they all want to buy some oriental scrolls.
But, to be honest,
just like the Qing Dynasty court did not like traditional oil paintings.
Traditional Chinese paintings that do not focus on realism may be a bit too "exotic" for them.
If you don’t have enough cultural accumulation, you really won’t appreciate it.
Western tourists are very obsessed with some cool, oriental concepts, but at the same time, the threshold for exposure should not be too high.
It would be best if they could understand it but not understand it.
For example, cultural concepts such as "ninja" and "bushido" are very popular in Europe and the United States.
The fusion of artistic works is awesome here, without any cultural barriers.
Lang Shining's new body painting was able to conquer the three generations of emperors of Kang, Yong and Qian Dynasties. Now,It is even easier to deal with tourists from these European scenic spots.
Gu Weijing once saw a blond foreigner covering his mouth and shouting "og" more than once in the store. He thought these paintings were so cool.
Not only can they understand it, but they also think that these paintings are full of Eastern Xia style and are rare to see.
Unfortunately, the Palace Museum originally made a small batch of imitations, and until now, this is the only picture left in the gallery.
The effect of imitation prints on calligraphy and painting appraisal is definitely not as good as the originals.
The look and feel is still better than the cold electronic picture album, and it is more convenient than drawing on the IAD.

Emotion Simple work
When Mr. Cao asked him to study and learn the style of Lang Shining's works, Gu Weijing had seen many of his works, and had already appreciated this bean flower picture using calligraphy and painting appraisal techniques.
The results are actually quite surprising.
The mood can only be evaluated as a simple work, which is really nothing.
A similar political assignment was assigned by Emperor Kangxi to the Qing Palace Painting Academy and required paintings to praise auspiciousness. It is completely understandable that the painter did not paint with passion.
It’s just the painting technique
It can’t be said that Lang Shining’s painting is bad.
The master-level painting skills are not bad at all, and he is already at the top of the pyramid. That small group of people.
But compared to Castiglione’s fame and historical status. Especially because of the refreshing and outstanding look this painting gave Gu Weijing, compared with the strong expectations it generated.
In the system analysis, this artist's technique appears to be very mediocre.
He is a seal maniac and a serious collector of cultural relics. Emperor Qianlong, who had seen many famous paintings handed down from generation to generation, was so excited that he wrote poems in person, saying, "The real world is Ningshang, and I am a young man." A great painter who is often praised highly.
A master at level one and a profession at level three are indeed not high.
Take the works that Gu Weijing has appreciated as an example.
The oil paintings are not as good as those of the female painter Carroll.
Not only compared to Mr. Cao, Chinese painting is far inferior to the level of Mr. Cao Xuan’s current youngest disciple, Tang Ning, when she was in her twenties.
If you think about it carefully, although this result is unexpected, it is also reasonable.
Lang Shining has never been one of the best painters in oil painting.
Not to mention Europe at that time, among the missionaries who came to Beijing alone, there were only two or three people recorded in the records who had similar painting skills to Castiglione.
When it comes to Chinese painting that pays more attention to talent and artistic charm, how can Castiglione compare to the local painters and scholar-officials of the Eastern Xia Dynasty.
Whether it can be ranked among the top 100 at the same time is actually a bit uncertain.
Some painting techniques are born withThe charm of birth 11 is greater than 2.
Castling's oil paintings are not top-notch, and Chinese paintings are even less outstanding.
But because of his clever fusion of painting styles, he was favored by three generations of emperors and was selected as one of the ten greatest painters in the 268-year history of the Qing Dynasty. He became a high-ranking official awarded the third rank. dignitary.
Gu Weijing prepared pen, ink, paper, and stared at the bean flower picture.
Among the surviving works of Castiglione, there are oriental-style works using brushes and rice paper, as well as works using linen canvas and Western painting tools.
New body painting is a painting idea and concept that is not limited to painting tools.
The summary of the essence of new body painting in his mind is divided into upper and lower chapters.
They are mainly about painting natural scenery of flowers and plants, paying attention to the Eastern composition skeleton and Western light and dark colors, a Western style heavy color chapter, and a Japanese painting mainly about buildings and figures, focusing on the perspective of Western line structure and Eastern connotation and style. Line drawings that are combined with each other.
Compared with the Western-style heavy-color painting, the line drawing chapter incorporates more sketch lines.
Gu Weijing planned to start with simpler aspects.
This bean flower painting is a typical work of "Western style heavy color", which only involves Chinese painting techniques and oil painting techniques.
The moment he picked up the brush, the summary of the essence of new body painting in his mind began to give a large number of painting details. < /p>
The so-called Western heavy color can be simply understood as using Chinese painting methods to transform Western oil paintings.
The flowers and birds retain the light and dark effects of the oil painting, abandoning the gray tones of large-area projection, making the entire picture look soft in color and in a small and fresh style.
In some cases, you can even boldly use some non-water-soluble mineral pigments for color adhesion.
Of course, this is just the theoretical method of "Western method and heavy color".
Many scholars of later generations have already summarized it, but drawing it is not the same thing. Just like the theory of relativity is there, whether we can build an atomic bomb is still a long way from the Five Constants.
Gu Weijing’s previous understanding of these theories was also very simple.
The paintings he painted were neither east nor west, neither Chinese nor foreign. They were completely different and looked very poor in appearance.
But now, the essence of New Body Painting is summarized not only in theory, but also in specific operational details.
"To draw bean flowers, first dot the leaves, then jacquard flowers, and finally write the branches. Western oil painting emphasizes proportion, so the branches and leaves cannot be connected to the flower head in a straight line, so fill it with jade-colored curves. The light and dark shadows change, and the center and reverse strokes are used Filled, the veins and leaves are integrated."
Gu Weijing thought for a moment.
According to the above guidance, when drawing bean flowers, you should first point out the leaves, then draw the petals, and finally useEmerald green curves draw branches filling the gaps between them.
In order to express the changes in light and dark shadows, you should use the center of the brush to trace the veins and leaves backwards. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
