Gu Weijing also tried to get started a little bit, rubbing the surface of the linen canvas with his fingertips, and a rich tactile feeling came from the skin of his fingertips.
He could feel the paste-like paint continuously penetrating deep into the canvas under the pressure of his fingertips, and mixing with other paint coatings around him.
Gu Weijing also had a similar sense of touch when he was painting knife paintings. The difference is that the sensory ability of the finger skin to the paint in direct contact is much more sensitive than that of a metal oil painting knife.
Whether the receptors on the skin are in close contact with the paint through a layer of medium, the feelings are completely different.
Under the feeling of fingertips,
The texture of oil painting is no longer a visual vocabulary, but a richer tactile vocabulary, which can also make the color layer of paint extremely light and thin. .
"Shengzi, do you think it is better to use your index finger or your thumb?"
"I like to use my index finger. The thumb also has advantages. The area of skin contact is larger, and it can be used with the same force. The paint is more dispersed when squeezed."
"That makes sense."
"Uh, Gu Jun, did you do fingertip gouache painting when you were a child? Just dip your fingers in the paint. Painting with gouache. The fingering methods of these two painting methods are actually the same, but the oil paint is more elastic and more plastic, and the fingertips need to be a little gentler."
"No, is it fun?" /p>
"Yeah, I thought it was quite interesting when I was in kindergarten. We can try it together again when we have time."
""
Gu Weijing tried to use his fingers He wore a gradient color with high highlights, and Miss Sakai was exchanging opinions with him over and over again.
The atmosphere is very pleasant.
After dealing with several different colors, Gu Weijing felt even more the advantages of combining finger painting and new body painting.
However, while he was admiring the oil painting texture applied by his fingers, the surface of the canvas became quite interesting and unique.
Gu Weijing looked at his colorful fingers and gradually understood why the founders of "New Body Painting", those Qing palace painters, could not think of such a suitable method of improving painting.
It is not just a matter of artistic techniques,
it is more a matter of painting scenes.
Gu Weijing is cuddling up with the soft girl like this. You point your finger and I draw with my finger. It looks warm and interesting, like a date.
But if it were a little old man wearing a high-ranking official's robe, smearing his fingers on the canvas, the scene suddenly became weird.
When Titian, Turner, and Leonardo da Vinci painted, you can see many traces of using fingers to assist the brush on the works.
But Castiglione, who was of a similar age to them and even much later than them, never thought of this method of dealing with excessive colors.
It’s not necessarily a lack of creativity.
Art is an accessory of powerNo matter how much Gu Weijing dislikes this sentence, he must admit that it has a certain truth from ancient times to the present, both in the East and the West.
In human history, many times the aesthetic taste of the upper class determines the trend of art in an era.
Impressionism went from being a heretic to being gradually recognized by the world, and then replaced their old enemy "academicism" and became a prominent school in the painting world.
The landmark event is that Impressionism was recognized by the wealthy class in the New World, the United States, which was not bound by secular traditions, and in turn affected the aesthetic taste of Paris and even the entire European continent.
And in the East.
After the Song Dynasty, Eastern Xia paintings and calligraphy paid great attention to the literati taste.
It is an aesthetic tool for scholar-bureaucrats to cultivate their sentiments.
To put it simply,
Not only does the painting look good, but the process of painting also requires that the painting be handsome and elegant enough, including the most basic manner of holding a pen. Very particular.
When he was a child, Gu Tongxiang told him in detail.
What a great painter really pays attention to when using a traditional Chinese painting brush is to "move your wrist without moving your finger, with your wrist and elbow hanging, and you must use all your strength when writing."
This kind of strictness The painting method is called the dragon eye method.
When drawing and writing, when the body moves, the whole body shakes wildly, which can only be a low-grade pig's trotter technique, and is ridiculed by literati and officials.
According to the records in the "Book Products" chapter of the Coral Net of Famous Books compiled by Wang Keyu, a great collector of calligraphy and painting in the Ming Dynasty.
This method of using brushes for painting and calligraphy was obtained by Cai Yong from a dream entrusted by gods and men, and was passed on to Cai Wenji. Cai Wenji passed it on to Mrs. Wei, and then to dozens of people including Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi. Passed down from generation to generation, it was finally carried forward in the hands of Yan Zhenqing.
Eastern Xia culture pays great attention to rules, and the most basic pen-holding postures are passed down from generation to generation of literati in an orderly manner.
It is true that Castiglione was a foreigner, but he was fundamentally different from Leonardo da Vinci and Titian, small painters who mainly served wealthy businessmen.
The small painters in Europe are still servants and vassals of the nobility and clergy.
In the end, Lang Shining achieved the rank of third-level official and the title of Vice Minister. He should be one of the highest-ranking people in human history who relied purely on painting.
A noble minister who is a serious official must also pay attention to dignity in painting.
In addition,
Emperor Qianlong was also a super art enthusiast and a stamp fanatic.
During the administration, the various works of art that were accurately recorded in the Shiqu Baoji and were collected from the private sector and put into the Forbidden City's warehouses were measured in tens of thousands of pieces. In the daily life records, the emperor would visit the painting academy every two days, or order the painter to go to the palace to discuss painting issues with the saint.
Think about it.
The emperor wants to discuss art and painting techniques with you. When you bring out the paint from the altar, roll up your sleeves, and ask the long-lived master to paint your fingers in messy colors with you.Yes, obviously too rude.
"Shengzi, you have created a new picture effect."
Gu Weijing came back from his divergent thinking. He looked at the canvas, feeling a little uncomfortable. I had the nerve to take it as my own, "This kind of painting improvement is rare, you"
"It's not so exaggerated. This is your painting method. I just relied on my intuition and painted it on Just a few fingers."
Sakai Katsuko smiled and interrupted the other party.
“Many times art is like this. If you break out of the original thinking limitations and look at it from a different perspective, you will easily get an idea. You wouldn’t think that just because you are the painter, if we change positions, you will also I can think of it." She pursed her lips and said.
A flash of inspiration
Gu Weijing smiled bitterly.
The so-called flash of inspiration is always the exclusive privilege of genius.
Su Shi was able to integrate the skill of calligraphy into the style of traditional Chinese painting in a flash of inspiration. Jan van Eyck was able to improve tempera painting into oil painting in a flash of inspiration. Geniuses' flash of inspiration is a limit that mediocre people cannot reach in their lifetime.
Sakai Katsuko said it easily, as if all she did was look at it for a few minutes, and then rub it lightly with her fingers.
The difference between this is the difference between seeing "water vapor lifts the lid" and thinking of "inventing the steam engine".
Some people are born to eat this bowl of rice, and relying on natural intuition is enough to reach the top of the pyramid.
Under their dazzling light, others can only feel insignificant.
Gu Weijing's talent is actually not bad, but compared to Sakai Katsuko's acumen for art, it feels like he is nothing without the help of the system.
He felt a little disappointed.
"Change the position, can I really think of it?" Gu Weijing asked himself softly, as if he were asking a scumbag who cheated and got next to the god of study.
“In the autumn of 1865, the already famous Manet participated in a competitive French art exhibition. In the same year, he grew up in Havre, a little-known city in the French province. The unknown Monet also participated in this art exhibition. This was the first encounter between the two masters in documented records." Sakai Katsuko noticed the casual expression on Gu Weijing's face. of loss.
After thinking for a while, the girl spoke softly.
"Yeah"
Gu Weijing wrinkled his nose.
He didn't understand why Sakai Katsuko suddenly changed the subject and talked about this matter that had little to do with them.
"This afternoon, when I was giving an art history appreciation class to Jasmine, this story was echoing in my mind."
Sakai Katsuko pointed out her round chin Put it on Gu Weijing's shoulder and whisper in his ear.
"Historically, the first encounter between Manet and Monet was not pleasant. At that time, Manet was much more famous. The two family backgrounds were also very different.Don't. Monet was not considered extremely poor, but he was just a child of a small businessman. Manet, whose father was the chief judicial officer of the French Ministry of the Interior, looked down upon Monet, a country boy from a small place. "
Sakai Katsuko ignored Gu Weijing's doubts and talked about himself.
"But soon, Monet's amazing talent, the work is full of The charming brushwork and rich visual expression quickly aroused Manet's curiosity. "
"The more he got to know Monet, the more he was attracted to this young man. There is no accurate record of what happened during this time. What is known is that just a year later, Manet invited Monet to join a small circle of his intimate friends at the Café de Guerbois in Paris. "
Sakai Katsuko paused for a few seconds, looked at Gu Weijing's profile, and then said, "Future generations can learn from a painter named Bazille who also belongs to this small circle. , a painting he painted called Studio created in 1870 gives a glimpse of the close relationship between Manet and Monet. In this painting, Monet is standing in front of a painting with a pipe in his hand, contemplating, while Manet is standing behind him, with a hand on his shoulder. "
Gu Weijing's heart moved slightly.
He now knows what Miss Shengzi meant when she mentioned this matter in his ear.
Gu I have also seen the studio of Bazille's famous painting.
In the room with the cement floor, there are golden picture frames of different sizes, and scattered men form several small rooms. The two friends, Monet and Manet, are a bit like him and Sakai now. Same as Miss Katsuko.
There is definitely no physical closeness or emotional ambiguity between them.
But,
Bazier. Still cleverly captured the expressions on the faces of the two people. Monet was holding a pipe in his mouth and looking at the picture frame in front of him in contemplation, while Manet was holding a cane and leaning on his shoulder, standing next to his friend.
The sun shines through the dark curtains and from the huge floor-to-ceiling windows next to them, illuminating their faces.
Anyone who sees this painting will realize that, The two men have become very good friends.
“From that time on, the two of them became lifelong confidants and best friends. During Monet's poorest years, Manet gave him a place to live and painted with him, and Monet in turn influenced Manet. Manet's writings throughout his life are full of imprints related to Monet. Apart from the famous painting I showed Jasmine of Monet painting on a boat, there is also the Monet family in the garden. Influenced by Monet, he began to adopt brighter colors and finer brushstrokes, and his brushwork style became colorful. "
Sakai Shengzi took Gu Weijing's hand and said slowly, "Many years later, Monet has become famous. When Manet grew old and died of illness, he sadlyWhen he was about to faint, he put down all the work at hand and returned to Paris. He personally carried the coffin for this friend and buried him in the Passy Cemetery on the outskirts of Paris. ”
“oaaaa, I can’t help but think that the meeting of these two masters, whose names only differed by one letter, is really similar to us. Of course, I didn’t know it from the moment I met you. I looked down on you. I have a better eye on this than Manet. "
Sakai Katsuko smiled playfully, and she cutely blew a breath toward Gu Weijing's ear hole.
"Monet's early works are full of... Showing some immaturity and childishness, he was also criticized by critics for his lack of artistry. He even had to draw satirical cartoons for local newspapers, which could not be called serious art at all, to make a living. "Miss Sakai said, "But as long as you give him a suitable soil, he will bear flowers that will make the whole of Paris suffocatingly beautiful. "
"When my mother was a student, she always called my father her Byron. So in my heart, you are my Monet. I believe that one day you will create works that will make the world's painting circles famous. Such a shocking work, please believe in yourself. "
Sakai Katsuko crossed her arms from behind, took Gu Weijing into her arms, and said slowly, "We are now in this small studio, talking about Monet and Manet. story. A century later, two centuries later, when we are no longer alive. Perhaps there are also young and beautiful young people standing under the stars, looking forward to the story of the lovers Gu Weijing and Sakai Katsuko. "
"I remember telling you about the eternal life of painters. I think this is another kind of eternal companionship, what do you think? ”
Gu Weijing’s breathing paused.
Miss Sakai is the most charming girl he has ever seen.
She certainly has exquisite features and a plump figure , with the unique amorous feelings of Eurasians, and even the whole body smells of soft and sweet strawberries.
But after getting along with the other person for a long time, Gu Weijing will always feel relaxed. Forget about her amazing beauty.
Some people’s charm is the temptation of skin, but Miss Katsuko exudes romance that comes from a deep soul.
Sakai. The lady is so young, but when she talks about her imagination a century later and her story about eternal companionship, her tone is as solemn and Zen as that of a monk.
Following Sakai. Miss Shengzi's delicate voice,
Gu Weijing traveled through the long river of time, slowly imagining the world in the girl's mouth.
He seemed to have seen so much. Years later, in a brightly lit art gallery, there were two paintings signed next to each other with the names of Gu Weijing and Sakai Katsuko.
A person who speaks softly to comfort you. The girl who tells stories about Manet and Monet in your ears, even if she has rough skin and average facial features, will make boys fall in love with her uncontrollably
