"It's just like the name of the system's serial task, which is open to all rivers. The reward for this task is actually a skill in the field of watercolor painting. Actually, it's not bad when you think about it."
Gu Weijing is not too unfamiliar with watercolor painting.
There are some similarities between watercolor painting and colored pencil drawing.
In fact, every time he uses Menzel's skills to draw colored pencil drawings, even if the main improvement is sketching, he will also Gain about ten or twenty points of experience points for watercolor painting.
Based on the commonality of the two drawing methods,
It is like practicing muscle training in the gym and practicing squats by lifting irons on the Smith machine. Even if your original intention is to train your thighs specifically, the strength of your waist and abdomen will also increase.
It’s hard to see any fitness enthusiast with a waist as slender as chopsticks but with the strength of Schwarzenegger’s limbs.
Painting is a whole.
Your experience with colors, lines, and structure will also play a role in other categories, just to a greater or lesser extent.
However,
On Gu Weijing’s current painting panel, it only reaches eve2 entry level 96100 for printmaking and v3 semi-professional level 2191000 for watercolor painting. Compared with Chinese painting, sketch, Oil painting is obviously a shortcoming among these three categories.
It’s just that the printmaking experience level is lower and the proficiency is lower.
Anyway, Gu Weijing believes that his painting focus will not be on printmaking for the time being.
In fact It's not that the upper limit of printmaking is not high enough, but that this painting method is often prepared for engraving artworks on copper plates or wooden boards for large-scale reproduction and printing. It is often not too late to study printmaking until you are truly famous.
The heyday of Pop Art from the 1970s to about 2010.
A lot of Pop Art painters such as Andy Warhol and Takashi Murakami created works in their later period. Both styles like to integrate printmaking techniques into their own creative ideas, and produce them in batches. Each piece costs millions and tens of millions of dollars. The money earned in the art market can buy a Ford-class aircraft carrier.
However,
For ordinary painters, prints still have the inherent shortcoming that the level of precision is not high enough and there is no way to express the delicate and colorful color gradation.
If the craftsman's printing skills are not good enough, then the work can really only be said to be superficial.
Historically, during the Meiji Restoration period, ukiyo-e prints of Japanese goods sold to Europe were largely used as outer packaging for Japanese industrial products. In fact, the physical appearance was quite rough.
If you are not a top art master,
Whether you are participating in art selections at art biennales or buying and selling paintings in the primary and secondary trading markets, collectors Both the judges and the judges will have concerns about works of art that can be mass-produced, and their enthusiasm is not too high.
Therefore, printmaking is actually a relatively unimportant technique in the entire painting genre.
For artists and art school students, printmaking is likeA dessert on the dining table is so naturally and awesomely drawn that it doesn’t matter if you don’t know how to draw.
Watercolor is different, it is the same main dish as steak and risotto.
The colors are bright and the brushwork is gorgeous.
Although the strokes of watercolor are not as varied as oil paints, the picture is smoother and more translucent, the look and feel is fresh and real, and the color ductility is worse than that of oil paints.
If oil painting is the king of Western painting, then the queen's throne must belong to watercolor painting.
For art students at Dulwich like Gu Weijing,
Printmaking classes and pen drawing classes are only half-semester elective courses that focus on understanding, but watercolor and sketching are Like oil painting, it is a required course from elementary school to college.
"Thinking about it, I'm quite looking forward to it. I wonder if Menzel's basic painting experience can be combined with this skill. This old man is also famous for his watercolors." Gu Weijing muttered in his heart. .
Watercolor was invented in Germany and flourished in England.
In the field of Western painting, especially before the 20th century, if a painter was a great artist sought after by the upper class, there were only two possibilities.
Either he is an oil painter, or he is a watercolor painter.
Other types of paintings, such as pen paintings and paper-cut paintings, are all considered inferior.
In many cases, watercolor masters and oil painting masters are even the same people.
Oil painting and watercolor are the right and left hands of Western artists. Menzel, Turner, and Picasso are all great painters who master both oil painting and watercolor.
This reward really has a very good reinforcing effect on Gu Weijing's lack of watercolor painting experience.
"The last reward was Castiglione's painting techniques, and this reward is watercolor painting. The system arrangement is quite interesting, and I don't know what the next reward will be."
Thinking of this, Gu Weijing Suddenly curious in my heart.
Lang Shining not only created a new painting method that combined Chinese and Western oil paintings.
This missionary from Milan is often considered by later generations to be the first person to bring watercolor painting to the East.
He introduced watercolor painting to Eastern Xia in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, adding a new color to the oriental art that embraced all rivers, exactly 300 years ago.
The system rewards two tasks in succession, which happens to be along the lines of Eastern art history, which is quite elegant and interesting.
"Little Mr. Gu"
Uncle Alai had just started the Elantra. Gu Weijing was still staring at the system tasks, but the car suddenly slowed down again.
"Someone is greeting us. Do we need to stop?" The uncle asked, staring at the intersection ahead and putting his hands on the steering wheel.
A bald man with a cigarette in his mouth was leaning against the door of a champagne-colored BMW at the intersection, waving to where Gu Weijing was as if he was trying to stop a taxi.
Obviously signaling them to come over.
“Why is it him? What’s the matter?"
Gu Weijing recognized that it was Brother Hao's Da Ma Zai, and frowned slightly, "Uncle Alai, you'd better stop the car, you can't hide. "
This guy is like a fly. If he ignores him, he might run into his home shop.
I can run away, but the monk can't run away from the temple. .
With Uncle Alai beside him, it might be safer now.
The car stopped beside the BMW.
The other party knocked lightly. Knocking on the back seat window, waiting for Gu Weijing to roll down the back seat window, a shiny bald head poked in.
"Mr. Gu, I'm going to the orphanage to paint again." He said that the children in the orphanage there liked you very much, but I never expected you to be so kind. No wonder you look down on bad people like us. "
The bald man licked the corner of his mouth and looked at Gu Weijing with a half-smile.
"Follow me" Gu Weijing took a deep breath.
"Following you, no, there's no need, Mr. Gu. Everything that happens in this city, from the files on the desk in the mayor's office to the mating of stray dogs on the roadside, is all a matter of whether Brother Hao wants to know about it or not. ”
The bald man chewed a cigarette and blew out a smoke ring with a contented expression.
He came with a mission, but he also didn’t mind Xiao Xiao’s appearance in front of Gu Weijing. Show off Brother Hao’s omnipotence.
“There’s nothing Brother Hao can’t get, ever. "The bald man said quietly.
Brother Hao's most trusted subordinate showed off a pun. He looked at Gu Weijing, pointedly increased his tone, and repeated word by word, " Never. ”
Gu Weijing’s brows twitched a little, and his body felt a little chilly.
He knew the meaning of this sentence.
Brother Hao Being omnipotent, he will definitely get what he wants. This is the self-confidence of a gangster. His will is the law and the rules of city operation, which naturally includes pulling himself into trouble.
Gu Wei. He glanced worriedly at the driver's seat in front and found that Uncle Alai was also looking at him through the rearview mirror.
It was different from what he had imagined.
Bald head, tangled,
The face of this tall, dark-skinned janitor does not have the nervousness of his employer getting into trouble just after he started work, nor can he see the understatement of "I have seen many big storms in those days, just a gangster is nothing." .
He was just very calm.
Alai’s face was expressionless, his eyelids were almost unblinking, and he was as calm as a deep pool of water.
Looking into Uncle Alai's eyes made Gu Weijing feel at ease inexplicably.
"No offense to Brother Hao, but I think there may be exceptions to everything. "Gu Weijing calmed down and said softly, "What's the matter with you?"
"I like your good nature. Has anyone ever told you that there is such a thing?If you have the guts to join the underworld, you will have a bright future."
The bald head was surprised by the middle school student's calmness and gave a thumbs up.
"Are you just here to compliment me or continue? To persuade me to do things for Brother Hao, we should not have discussed this issue many times. If I change my mind at any time, I think I will call Brother Hao. "Gu Weijing wanted to end this conversation quickly.
"Don't be so nervous, Mr. Gu, I'm not here to cause trouble today. "The bald man waved his hand, "Boss is worried that what happened to you and classmate Miao scared you and affected your painting state, so he specially asked me to apologize. ”
“I apologize”
This answer was indeed beyond Gu Weijing’s expectation.
The bald head scratched the back of his head, “Brother Hao’s admiration for you makes me happy.” I'm a little jealous. If I hadn't been with Brother Hao for so many years, I would have suspected that you were his illegitimate son or something. "
"Brother Hao said that what happened to Miao Angwin was an accident. I hope you can prepare for the exhibition with peace of mind. He is very optimistic about you. Since this is an apology, I also brought you a calming souvenir as requested. "
Just when Gu Weijing was about to refuse, he saw the bald man open the trunk and take out the apology gift, which was a mango platter and a box of high-calcium milk.
It is indeed a gift to calm the nerves.
“Brother Hao, I’m sorry, I didn’t bring anything to repay today. ”
Gu Weijing looked at the fruit and milk.
This gift is indeed not important, but he still doesn’t want to have anything to do with Brother Hao and his gang.
< p>"There is no need to return the favor. "The bald head seemed really helpless, "Mr. Xiao Gu, you can look down on me, but please consider my identity. To put it bluntly, even if I am a gangster, I am still a respectable gangster in the underworld. It would be too shameful to threaten someone with a fruit plate as a favor. "
"Please don't refuse, this is really just a gift and has no other meaning. ”
“Since Brother Hao specially ordered me to apologize to you, I must prepare a gift. If you want a more expensive apology, this is actually better. "
The bald man smiled and took out another envelope from his arms.
"Look, I had prepared an envelope of 75 million kyats from the Central Bank of Myanmar on the way here. But I guess you won’t ask for it, so I didn’t take it out just now. ”
“Check or fruit, choose one. "
The bald head said softly, "For the sake of my sincerity, Mr. Gu, please understand the difficulties of those of us who work for the boss. I have to go back and explain to Brother Hao. Even if you let me buy you a cup of milk tea."
Gu Weijing looked at the envelope in the bald hand with a red seal stamped with the abbreviation CB of the Central Bank and sighed.
"How generous. ”
If I hadn’t been tutored since childhood,Gu Weijing probably rushed up to hug Brother Hao's thigh.
The denomination of the check thrown out casually was about the same as the first advance paid to him by a publishing giant like the Schostic Group.
This kind of underworld boss is really like the devil in a story, whispering in your ear at any time and showing you a beautiful illusion of boundless wealth in gold, silver, and jewelry.
Even this wealth is not an illusion at all.
As long as you waver a little bit in your heart and obey the devil's promise, then these things are really yours, and the price is to exchange your soul and freedom.
Faced with a check of 75 million kyats, how many people can never say no?
The bald head tilted its head, expecting to see a trace of happiness in Gu Weijing’s expression. shake.
As long as the other party accepts the bank check that looks "unencumbered" this time, the bald head will be sure to let Gu Weijing accept the sports car next time, and next time he can let him start giving money to Brother Hao Paint some small-sized works
That’s how people are,
Just like Pavlov training his dog, after the first time there will be a second time, and slowly it will Dependence will form.
The bald man has not read any books and does not know that this situation is called a moral decline in philosophy. But Baldhead is a big gangster from the market, and he has his own "street wisdom".
Those who lost their wives and sold their organs to gamble, all started playing slot machines for a few kyats, and those rotten and smelly hidden men who injected heroin into their veins all started from the first I started smoking low-purity marijuana.
Falling has a kind of gravity,
which will slowly make you entangled deeper and deeper in the mud.
Even Uncle Alai, who always seemed to be wearing a poker face mask, frowned slightly at this time.
"Take the check away and give me 75 million kyats with an apology. I don't have such a big face. Brother Hao accepts the kindness, but I can't afford it."
Gu Wei Jing smiled in his heart.
People influence each other, and he brought changes to the Good Luck Orphanage.
The selfless female dean, the innocent children, and Uncle Alai who wants to be a good person
These people are also subtly changing Gu Weijing, making him believe that integrity is It can bring greater satisfaction to the heart than money.
Gu Weijing shook his head, not wanting to embarrass the other party by breaking up and saying, "If it's really difficult for you, just leave the fruit plate."
Uncle Alai relaxed. tone.
The bald man was a little disappointed, but he didn't force it. He carried the fruit plate and milk and was about to open the trunk of the Elantra.
"Please sit in the front row." Uncle Alai knocked on the car window.
He was not used to interjecting when VIPs were talking,
So he kept quiet when Gu Weijing was talking to the bald head, and the bald head thought he was an Uber driver.
The bald man just noticed this silent man.A man of words.
He opened the passenger door of the Elantra, threw the fruit plate on the floor mat, and then picked up a carton of milk, but his bald head suddenly stopped.
"Brother, you are a ruthless person on the road. Which big brother are you with?"
The bald man asked with a frown, staring at the scars on the driver's face.
What really attracts the attention of bald heads is not the scars. There are so many people on the streets who have had stitches on their faces for disfigurement, but bald heads never care.
He felt that the driver had a vague power on his head.
Not only do you have to be stained with blood, but you also have to be stained with a lot of blood to develop such a feeling.
People who roll out of blood are different from normal people, like monsters hiding under human skin.
Twenty years ago, he once saw an old man smoking in a heavily guarded mansion in Xihe District from a distance, but only took a vague look from a distance.
But with that Shura-like aura, Baldhead believed that he saw the legendary Kunsha who was imprisoned in the mansion.
That feeling, once you see it, you will never forget it.
A truly scary person doesn’t need to have a Buddha head tattooed on his neck to show his majesty and scare people like him. As long as people think about it and sit there motionless, you will start to feel awe unconsciously. .
The bald man has seen this feeling in the Shura-like Kun Sha, he has seen it in the always gentle Brother Hao, and he also feels it faintly in this silent driver. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
