When Gu Weijing opened the door of his small studio, he was already prepared, but he was still stunned for a moment.
In terms of study costs,
Among the related fields for art students, playing classical music is actually the most expensive.
Not to mention the unpopular professions such as church pipe organs, whose cost is calculated based on small targets.
A good mid-to-high-end grand piano cannot be replaced by high-end brands such as Steinway or Bechstein, or a semi-factory piano mass-produced by Yamaha. It can be easily replaced by an A-class Mercedes-Benz. In terms of rent, you really have to play a good piano for a few weeks. No matter how cheap it is, it is still more than half a month's salary for an ordinary person in a small county in Dongxia.
In the field of art,
it belongs to the poor-poor way of painting, and the rich-rich painting method.
The bulk of the expenditure for art students learning painting is actually consumables, as well as the cost of higher-end flights to art galleries around the world to collect art.
There are not many restrictions on the venue.
The conditions of the studios vary from good to bad. They are more expensive than expected and cheaper than expected.
In the south of France, where traditional artists gather like Provence, those artist studios that have spent dozens or millions of dollars just on decoration are all places where aesthetic needs are higher than practical needs. The main thing is that I have something. Money makes me feel happy.
You can paint in a high-end studio with bright and clean windows. You can set up a small pony under the overpass on the roadside or build a wooden frame. As long as you are not afraid of noise and have the psychological quality to withstand the onlookers of passers-by, you can naturally paint.
In fact, most of the public studios open to the public make money from education and training.
Many simply rent a 100-square-meter apartment as a venue, put up a few plaster statues and easels and that's it.
Gu Weijing originally lived a makeshift life in the studio of the Good Luck Orphanage. The only lighting tools were the tungsten emergency lights that Uncle Alai ordered from the construction team.
In just a few days,
When he came here again after a short vacation.
The room had become completely unrecognizable to him.
The dark teak floor was illuminated, and the warm and soft light and the sunlight falling outside the window were cleverly integrated into one, making it difficult for him to tell where the light was and where the sunlight was.
Two Honeywell ion-enriched oxygen air purifiers operate silently and efficiently, without any pungent odor left after decoration.
The moment he pushed the door open and took a breath,
Gu Weijing had the illusion of walking into the forest.
Besides the wall are two or three Nordic minimalist-style fabric sofas, a barreled water dispenser, and a bracket-type reflective fill light used to light painted mannequins.
What’s even more outrageous is that
There is even a small capsule coffee machine
Gu Weijing never believed that the painter’s painting level was as good as the studio’s There will be no hooks on the hardware conditions.
But a good environment,
It can indeed easily affect a person's psychological state when creating.
As soon as he walked into the newly refurbished room, he felt refreshed.
“In 1874, the Impressionist painters who were not recognized by the mainstream art world and had just participated in the Salon of the Outcasts gathered on the banks of the Seine River in France and began to collectively create a large number of paintings. Jasmine, look at this painting . The artist Manet tried to break the traditional fixed color painting method and used blue fragmentary brushwork to depict the water waves on the lake, focusing on presenting the audience with the feeling of instant light and color."
一Two larger figures were leaning against the window in the sunlight, whispering to the images on the IAD.
Today is the first day of school after the holiday.
As usual, Sakai Katsuko was quite free. She skipped class in the afternoon and came to the newly renovated studio of herself and Gu Weijing.
Miss Katsuko is very serious about her work.
After looking around, I felt that there was no big problem. I remembered that I had promised Jasmine that I would teach her to appreciate art.
So he caught Jasmine, who was picked up by Uncle Alai from Baixiang Elementary School in the afternoon, and took her to the window to teach the little girl an art history appreciation class.
Sakai Katsuko’s lectures are focused.
She did not hear the footsteps behind her, and she lowered her head and pointed at the bearded man wearing a white shirt and holding a paintbrush in the oil painting on the tablet computer, staring at the sparkling lake.
“Another famous thing about this painting is that our protagonist, the model sitting on the boat, is also an art master. He is a friend of Manet. Among the works we have appreciated Including his paintings. Tell sister, can you guess who this person is?"
Sakai Katsuko took Jasmine's little hand and looked at the face of the man sitting cross-legged on the bow of the fishing boat on the screen. Sweep.
The little girl’s bright black eyes were wide open, a little confused, but also slightly felt familiar, racking her brains to think.
"It's Monet."
Gu Weijing rubbed Jasmine's little head from behind and glanced at the screen.
Actually, there is no need to look at it.
Just listening to Miss Sakai’s description, he can easily guess that it is a painting by the famous Impressionist master Manet in the history of world art. Paintings Monet painted on a boat.
"Gu Jun"
When Sakai Shengzi saw Gu Weijing coming to her side, she gave a bright smile with a slight blush on her face.
She was a little shy but naturally held her hand with the boy next to her.
"You have convinced Mrs. Sakai to agree to come here to paint"
"You have to go back before 30 pm, and you cannot leave the perimeter of the orphanage's yard. In any other case, you must Communicate with your mother in advance and ask for instructions."
Sakai Katsuko nodded and said what she had agreed with her mother.
“I called you before to mentionHowever, my mother also asked someone to decorate the room a little. I think it's pretty good, and what about you?" The girl tilted her head.
"Of course it's good. It seems that I have taken advantage of our eldest lady Katsuko and am enjoying a soft meal. "Gu Weijing glanced around the exquisitely decorated rooms and smiled slightly.
He turned his eyes to Jasmine next to him.
The little girl was staring at The tablet screen was almost as high as him on the windowsill, and he was holding a half-filled paper cup of coffee.
Coffee is a very rare thing in the orphanage.
Now. It was probably Jasmine's first time drinking this kind of drink. Regardless of whether it suited her taste, at least it tasted quite novel.
The little girl was reluctant to drink it directly, but slowly stuck out her tongue like a puppy. Licking slowly.
“I don’t know if it is good for her to drink caffeinated drinks at her age, so I added half a spoonful of saccharin and a little milk to her. "Sakai Katsuko turned her face sideways and explained.
When she was making coffee for herself, the little girl didn't cry or fuss, she just looked at Katsuko longingly and hooked her fingers together.< /p>
How did Miss Sakai feel about this?
My heart melted when she was stared at by the little loli, so I gave it to the little girl.
“Today. Just have a drink. You are still young. I can bring you freshly squeezed juice to drink when I come here. "Sakai Katsuko touched Jasmine's forehead.
Gu Weijing asked Jasmine how she felt about her recent elementary school life, and then let her run away and play.
For a short time After the conversation,
the studio fell silent.
Gu Weijing walked aside, prepared his painting tools, and fixed a new linen canvas on the easel. p>
Neither he nor Sakai Katsuko was the type of couple who would spend all day together once they fell in love. The two of them soon began to do business quietly.
Sakai Katsuko. On the other hand, he was preparing to finish the painting of the old church that he had stopped halfway through the past few days.
Gu Weijing began to paint his "Good Luck Orphanage No. 3" in the sun.
This time I still start with a pencil sketch, then use quick-drying paint to paint the base map, and then fill in the details on the base map.
Because I have already drawn it once,
Gu Weijing understands all the process and difficulties of painting. What he is doing now is to push through steps a, b, c, and d step by step, grinding down bit by bit to overcome the difficulties
< p>Sometimes,Painting is the same as doing physics questions. It is a skilled job, and you have to answer questions over and over again.
The only difference is that what he is doing now. It may be more like the test questions for the National Training Team of the Physics Olympiad.
Ordinary students, even ordinary academics, have not learned advanced skills and concepts, and there is a high probability that they will not be able to understand the questions.
Even among students of the same age, Gu Weijing is definitely considered a "god of learning". Repeat.When doing this "fusion painting" test question.
It’s still far from simple.
Now is the third time to paint.
What Gu Weijing wants is not an intact copy of the last painting.
He needs to see progress.
Can you decorate some details more carefully this time and reduce the subtle gaps and roughness between colors?
Even if the painting technique has not fundamentally changed.
These little changes and progress add up to a lot, which can instantly make the direct look and feel of the painting much better.
If nothing else, if you draw a hundred pictures of the same thing, God will give you some face. You should be able to encounter extraordinary performance a few times by trying your luck.
When the technique is upgraded, and then repaint a work that the artist is already very familiar with, it will have a good effect of combining the best and the icing on the cake.
Since Gu Weijing wanted to see changes, the painting process this time was still far from easy.
In addition to a slightly more familiar feeling when using the pen, pressure still surged towards him from the tip of the pen like a tide.
Time passed slowly like this.
Soon,
his forehead started to sweat a little again.
"It seems that it is a little difficult for you to use a brush like this. Gu Jun, can I make a small suggestion?"
On one occasion he put down the brush on his hand. When entering to wash the pen holder, Gu Weijing felt a warm and soft body pressing against his back from behind.
Miss Sakai has completed her copying and is staring at the drawing board in front of Gu Wei's hand over his shoulder.
She looked at it quietly for a few minutes,
and she keenly noticed the difficulty Gu Weijing felt during the painting process.
Katsuko shook her hair.
"Of course, if you feel that I have disturbed your thinking, please tell me directly. This is normal. Everyone has different painting habits. Many people hate painting very much. Sometimes I am disturbed by others."
Sakai Katsuko smiled gently.
Also an art student, Shengzi learned a lot from the relationship between her parents since she was a child.
She knows the smart way to get along with an art student lover, and it is definitely not to rush up to the other person and constantly greet them while they are painting.
"darg, come and drink a glass of water"
"You have been painting for twenty minutes, now take a rest."
"Let's start together "Mobile games"
"Let's discuss which restaurant to go to for dinner."
"You idiot, you only know how to draw, but you don't even know how to care about me."
You think this kind of thing is showing affection and caring, but people who are disturbed from their creative ideas will feel crazy and angry in their hearts.
It may not matter if you are in love.
As time goes by, whether the object is a man or a woman, a quarrel will definitely break out.
When my father, Professor Sakai, was immersed in creative ideas, he didn’t even eat or even go home. I sat in front of the drawing board in the studio all night, stuffing all kinds of sweets and junk food into my mouth when I was hungry.
The peak record is 29 donuts eaten in one night.
No matter how dissatisfied Mrs. Sakai is, she will still hold her nose and say nothing.
At most, Professor Sakai can wait until Professor Sakai finishes painting and wakes up before lecturing him, and then have all the donuts in the studio replaced with gluten-free and sugar-free versions.
What artistic creators really need is company for inspirational brainstorming and mutual support on the creative journey.
Helping her partner break the mental prison is better for him than pouring 10,000 cups of hot tea for him.
Miss Sakai had been quietly looking at the canvas in front of her, and finally seemed to think of something.
While she was waiting for Gu Weijing to change his pen, she leaned forward gently and spoke.
"Shengzi, do you have any good opinions?"
Gu Weijing's eyes lit up and he wanted to turn around, "If you need it, I can tell you about myself." "You don't have to look at me, just look at the painting with peace of mind."
Sakai Katsuko patted Gu Weijing on the shoulder.
She wiped off a few drops of light sweat on Gu Weijing's forehead with a tissue from behind, and said softly, "You don't have to tell me the details. Sometimes, you just have to break out of the old thinking, and you can get better ideas."
“When my father was creating, no one else dared to disturb him. But when I was a child, I liked to hang around him and express my own opinions. My father found that many times, it was children’s nonsense. Nonsense, but sometimes, having another perspective can occasionally give him some inspiring new ideas."
"I find that you seem to pay great attention to handling the edges of some highlights, and I hope it can be consistent with it. The surrounding color blocks have a smoother transition. Am I wrong about your goal?"
Sakai Katsuko asked.
"You can say that."
Gu Weijing nodded.
What he wants most is to eliminate the sense of isolation in the picture.
The reason for the unnatural sense of isolation in current works is largely due to the high-light contrast details that Western paintings pay attention to and the natural, fresh and shadow-free color excess pursued by Chinese paintings. The gap between the two art philosophies conflict.
Sakai Katsuko does not know the details of the new body painting method.
But she is also much more talented than Old Man Wu, and she is a master of painting from close range.
After watching it for a few minutes, I keenly captured the key to the problem.
"My writing power is not enough."
Gu Weijing nodded honestly.
Lang Shining can use his skillful pen control to push through these difficulties.
He hasn’t yetThis ability.
That’s why Gu Weijing felt that once his step-by-step sketching and Chinese painting techniques were upgraded to the next stage, perhaps this gap could be bridged.
Sakai Katsuko has different new ideas.
"Gu Jun, have you ever thought about changing painting tools?" the girl asked softly. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
