Gu Weijing turned around subconsciously and looked at Miss Katsuko next to him. Sakai Katsuko also looked at the boy he was holding quietly with his big bright lilac eyes.
The two people's eyes met.
In this situation, there was no need for a teacher to teach him. Gu Weijing subconsciously lowered his head slowly, pursuing the girl beside him who instinctively wanted to kiss him.
Sakai Katsuko felt Gu Weijing’s movements.
Her pupils shrank, her breathing began to become rapid, and her chest rose and fell rapidly.
"It's not time yet."
Sakai Katsuko suddenly lowered her head and pressed her forehead against Gu Weijing's chest, avoiding his kiss.
Gu Weijing's lips could only smell the plant scent of Miss Sakai's dark hair, which was stained with traces of conditioner.
"Oh, I'm sorry."
Seeing Sakai Katsuko's flinch, Gu Weijing blushed a little and apologized sheepishly.
"No need to apologize, I don't want to refuse your request, but I hope our first kiss can be more ceremonial and memorable."
Sakai Katsuko's earlobes are red. .
She had just hesitated for a long time, with a fierce battle between heaven and man in her mind, and finally decided to listen to her mother's words.
"Wait a little longer, okay?"
Sakai Katsuko rubbed her little head against Gu Weijing's chest and asked softly.
Gu Weijing smiled.
He stopped painting, and the two of them just stayed next to each other and hugged each other for a while, until Katsuko Sakai suddenly said, "By the way, I also filled in the sea of paintings for the Singapore Art Biennale in early autumn this year." Select the submission application form."
Gu Weijing was stunned for a moment and then became curious.
"So Katsuko, what theme do you want to paint?"
"I haven't made up my mind about the specific content yet. The theme of this year's art exhibition is the hustle and bustle of the world. The requirements are very broad." Sakai Katsuko let go of her arms, blinked and said, "You can also draw people, you can also draw buildings, but I have already thought about the type of painting. Your creativity in painting inspired me. But it’s not the fusion of traditional Chinese painting and oil painting.”
The entire East Asian art has something in common.
Vietnam and Myanmar have traditional silk paintings that evolved from traditional Chinese paintings. Japan has Yamato-e, a painting method that evolved from Tang paintings, and is also called Ningwa-e.
The painting method is closer to the traditional calligraphy and painting of Eastern Xia than the ukiyo-e that people often hear about.
Sakai Katsuko has learned the corresponding painting techniques.
Her Chinese language ability is limited, but she has learned soft-pen calligraphy.
Brush calligraphy is very prosperous in Japan, and Chinese character culture is also very important among literati.
Until the 20th century, there have been calligraphy masters such as Inoue Ichi and Furuya Soyun who are very famous in the calligraphy circles of Asia.
Sakai Katsuko learned calligraphy in the same way as copying paintings, paying attention to body, beauty, and shape, and paying attention to copying calligraphy when making calligraphy.As for the value of French art, as for the meaning of specific words, it is not that important.
If this were not the case,
she would not have been brought by her father to participate in international projects in Myanmar.
However, although Katsuko Sakai loved the eroticism of pen and ink displayed in Gu Weijing's works, after careful consideration, she gave up and followed a similar path.
It was inconvenient for Ms. Sakai to choose the exact same painting method as Gu Weijing.
First of all, her brush painting skills are still much worse than oil painting.
From a long-term perspective, if she is creating by herself, Katsuko Sakai would prefer to focus all her painting energy on oil painting.
Forcibly choosing this long road may not be suitable for you.
Secondly, from the perspective of participating in art exhibitions.
She didn’t want to steal Gu Weijing’s limelight.
If the paintings of two people are too similar, especially in unpopular categories and have similar painting levels, the organizing committee will make a choice whether they are selected or participated in the exhibition.
A more understandable description is that four sisters in the university dormitory took the public examination and applied for the same highly competitive establishment position in the same unit at the same time.
Suddenly, the best friends changed careers to perform Infernal Affairs, and it was difficult not to intrigue.
"What is it?" Gu Weijing asked.
“Actually, the story I just told about Manet and Monet is not just a metaphor. In addition to this year’s exhibition, I also hope to concentrate on Manet’s painting style for a long time to come. , and absorb some of Carroll’s impressionistic treatment of dark tones. This is a natural fusion painting."
Sakai Katsuko said with a smile.
Gu Weijing nodded.
Of course, Impressionism is the product of the fusion of Eastern and Western Asian art and European art. The reason why their paper was submitted to a journal called Asian Art was not just that Carroll painted the old church in Yangon.
Every Impressionist painter was more or less influenced by Eastern art.
But unlike Castiglione, who needed to please the literati class to gain recognition from the Qing court, the techniques of the Impressionists were purely oil painting in nature.
"Manet's way of painting" he thought.
"Manet's painting style is biased toward modernism. He was mainly influenced by two art trends, Japanese Ukiyo-e and Spanish traditional painting styles. He boldly used bright colors and abandoned the mid-tones of traditional paintings. I I think this should be a good fit for me.”
As for the painting method, after deciding to try to participate in the exhibition, Sakai Katsuko had already thought about it in advance, and now it was very organized.
Manet was French, but the two painting styles that had the greatest influence on him in his life were one from Japan and the other from Spain.
The pen and ink contain both the passion and splendor of the Iberian Peninsula and the two-dimensional flatness of Ukiyo-e.
ThisIt is Miss Sakai's two hometowns.
“Manet likes to paint very bright and brilliant works, and I can see in Carroll’s senior painting style the idea of using dark-toned brushstrokes to express intense colors. These two painting styles are certain This sense can be blended. I want to use this as a basis to find a painting path that suits me." Sakai Katsuko said with a serious expression.
"The idea is very clear." Gu Weijing nodded in affirmation.
He didn't think he could think of any better advice.
“I already have the path to painting, but my skills and proficiency in using brushes can only be improved slowly, and I can’t rush it.” Katsuko Sakai put it in the small school bag on the sofa. He took a palm-sized teak photo frame, wiped his fingers with a tissue again, and then took out the well-preserved sketch illustration.
“I’m always not very good at incorporating my own emotions into my paintings. A few days ago, I felt I had a little bit of a feeling, but when I was practicing in the hotel, I was still a little unsure.”
p>She handed the sketch to Gu Weijing and asked with expectation in her tone, "Can you teach me, please?"
Gu Weijing took the sketch paper.
He recognized it as a small portrait that he gave to Katsuko Sakai in the study room of Dulwich School.
"My father told me that painters should be close to nature and feel life. I would also like to hear your opinion, Gu Jun. You are the only person I have seen who can handle emotions so well. "Even if it's just a simple pencil sketch, I can often feel myself looking at myself in the painting when I look at it, as if I'm looking into a mirror. ."
Miss Sakai stood beside Gu Weijing and asked for advice seriously.
"What are you thinking about when you draw? I feel that the lines I draw are always not as smart and sentimental as your drawings."
What are you thinking
p>Looking at the sketch paper in front of him,
Gu Weijing recalled his inner feelings when he created the first work he created and received a heartfelt evaluation from the system panel.
“I’m thinking about painting, but I’m not thinking about painting, I’m thinking about models, and I’m not thinking about models.”
“It sounds like I’m practicing Zen. ”
Sakai Katsuko’s eyes revealed a confused look.
"Actually, I don't quite understand it. Can you explain it more intuitively?" She said openly that she did not fully understand the meaning of Gu Weijing's words.
“Remember when I was writing the thesis, I mentioned the idea of empathy.” Gu Weijing said, “You need to resonate enough with the scenery you write, and your heart and environment are connected. When your heart is full of desire for expression, painting is just a natural thing. You have nothing in your heart and you are fully focused on it. You can easily feel the emotion at the tip of your pen. Slowly flowing."
"This resonance.This should be the purpose of feeling life and nature as Uncle Sakai said. ”
“Empty, yet fully focused. ”
Miss Sakai murmured to herself, thinking about the feeling of this kind of painting.
Gu Weijing gently touched the hair on the back of Sakai Katsuko’s head and said, “Feel this feeling.” The fastest way is not to dream, but to find a model that can interest you enough in painting. Do not regard the model as an empty thing like plaster. He is not a ball of lines, but a living person. Get to know him and care about him. The more you draw him, the more you practice every day, the more you will be able to find the feeling. ”
Sakai Katsuko thought for a few seconds, curled up her lips, and looked at Gu Weijing, “Gu Jun, you mean, I should paint you more”
"I think"
Gu Weijing did not refuse and smiled back, "There is a reason why the common models in the paintings of great painters are their lovers. "
"Well, then you are not only my Monet, but also my Miss Molan occasionally," Sakai Katsuko said casually.
"Then please ask Miss Sakai Take care of me. "Gu Weijing joked smoothly.
Miss Moulin is the most common female model in Manet's works, and she was also Manet's long-term royal prostitute.
Eighteenth and nineteenth centuries In the literary and art circles, this bohemian tone is the main theme.
Sexually transmitted diseases and tuberculosis are the signature characteristics of artists.
Celebrities such as Van Gogh and others died of syphilis. Maupassant, Nietzsche, Wilde, and Schubert can all come up with the names of half a company at a glance.
Manet’s favorite female model, Merlin, was a lover and a courtesan. She was not a flirt, she was a serious prostitute.
Sakai Katsuko was stunned for two seconds, waiting for her to realize the meaning of the other person's teasing. , his cheeks immediately turned red, and he lightly patted Gu Weijing's arm in embarrassment.
"Not serious, you know that's not what I meant. "Miss Katsuko's voice was as soft as a mosquito.
Gu Weijing felt very happy when he saw Miss Katsuko Sakai's face was tender and her cheeks turned red like a ripe apple when she joked. I like it.
He grabbed the other person's arm and held her in his arms.
Sakai Shengzi struggled twice and then half-pushed her out. He put his arms around each other's neck.
The two were intimate for a while.
Gu Weijing didn't do anything too extreme, he just hugged, and at most they just kissed each other. Talking quietly with a straight face.
But it is also a simple physical contact, and the physical stimulation brought by Lang Qingconcubine at this time is not at the same level as when he was painting.
After a while,
the two young people, who were both young and in love for the first time, felt a little hot all over.
Gu Weijing only felt hot in his neckline and forehead.Kaku was slightly sweaty, but Miss Katsuko was no longer nervous or shy, as if she had been fished out of the water and was soaked in sweat.
A few strands of wet hair clung to her temples. The girl's breathing was as fast as a fish out of the pond, and even her eyes were a little blurry.
Looking at Miss Sakai’s pitiful and pleading expression.
Gu Weijing finally decided to be a gentleman with great willpower and did not take the opportunity to kiss her.
"I don't think it's good."
Sakai Katsuko sat on the fabric sofa on the side for several minutes, and the violent ups and downs in her chest slowly calmed down.
She took herself half a cup of coffee from the coffee machine, and added a small half cup of ice water from the refrigerated water dispenser to the coffee cup.
The girl was not in a hurry to drink, so she held the iced coffee in her chest and sipped it in small sips, using the slightest coolness from her chest to calm her body that was hot under the pheromones.
That's it,
Her voice still had a breathless sound.
"Did we just get too close?"
"No, I'm not referring to this." Sakai Katsuko said slowly, "I'm referring to Molan, that is Let you be my model."
"I don't think that's good." Sakai Katsuko shook her head.
The two were only intimate for a few minutes before Miss Sakai suddenly changed her mind. Gu Weijing didn't speak, but looked at the girl on the sofa with doubtful eyes.
"I probably have to practice a lot every day. If I draw you, I will be very familiar with using the pen like this." Sakai Katsuko looked at Gu Weijing.
"Isn't it good to be familiar?"
"Not good."
Sakai Katsuko shook her head.
“This may not be a bad thing for artistic creation, but I don’t like it.”
“Familiarity will make people lose the original passion, which will make me transfer it Treat it as normal. And, frankly speaking, I have to consider the possibility of not being able to paint the work I want for a long time. Painting on the same theme for a long time may also make me feel tired and frustrated. "< /p>
Miss Sakai pinched a strand of wet hair with her fingertips, "I don't like to associate your face in my heart with the psychological feelings of exhaustion and frustration at any time."
In psychology,
correlation effects occur in the human brain.
When a person listens to a piece of music he likes, but does something that makes him feel very painful, such as eating dark food.
Over time,
when you hear a similar melody again, you will recall the taste of dark cuisine.
"Gu Jun, I don't want you to be my practice model. Just like a kiss, a kiss that comes too easily will lose its charm. I hope that in the future, when I feel like I can feel our emotions like today It’s warm and beautiful, and my heart beats like a drum when I pick up the paintbrush again.”
"I hope that every time I want to draw your face, it will make me excited and shy." Sakai Shengzi looked at Gu Weijing's profile.
Miss Sakai is very shy now, but her tone is very serious, "I hope that when you are gray-haired, I will still blush when I paint for you."
"Well, how about you change to the model Jasmine."
"Moli"
"She has always been a very cute little model, and I assure you, she has always been very well-behaved. "Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website without anti-theft is free to read
