Take the elder route.
Whether it is the art world or the sports world, the circle of agents has long summarized a set of common rules.
In the face of young and famous potential stocks, visiting their families more often and gaining the favor of their elders is a very effective way to get twice the result with half the effort.
They became famous too early and made too much money.
The eldest brother, father, and grandfather in the family will often play the role of financial advisors, life planners, and lawyers in a certain sense in their later lives, influencing many of their decisions.
Because I am not a professional, these decisions may not necessarily be correct in general.
But you have to be a little bit stupid, so professional hunting agents have more room to operate
Sports superstars such as Schmeichel Jr., Hamilton, Kylian Mbappe, and Harry Kane His life trajectory has repeatedly proved this point.
"Mr. Gu, do you want to paint?"
When Hanks saw Gu Weijing taking a set of paints and canvas, he went to the Gu's Book Gallery Walk towards the small studio.
The agent’s eyes lit up.
Gu Wei did not have much time to paint at home in the past week.
Hanks wanted to see Gu Weijing’s painting skills with his own eyes, but he had not yet found a suitable opportunity.
The agent painter is an important asset of the gallery.
Originally, before Hanks signed a contract with an amateur painter, according to the process, he needed to spend some time and observe the artist's handwriting. Check the current working status to see if there are any unexpected problems.
It’s the same as football players requiring physical examination before transferring to a club.
However.
Ma Shi III directly called and issued the order to sign Gu Weijing’s death, so these inspections were omitted.
Maybe today is a good opportunity.
To fully evaluate the grinding ability of an animal, it is not impossible to just look at the amount of flour pulled out.
But if you don’t see it put on a rope and run twice in the mill.
Hanks always felt like something was missing in his heart, very uneasy.
"I'll get it. I'll get it. If you want to draw, I can just be there to help Mr. Gu."
Hanks ran over and took over Gu. For the things in your hands.
He pretended to want to help and was going to sneak into the studio secretly following Gu Weijing.
"Mr. Ma Shi, there's nothing much that can be done about young people painting by themselves, so don't go in."
Gu Tongxiang coughed twice.
Even though Mr. Gu Tongxiang is flattered every day, he is still never careless when it comes to his grandson.
Except for his direct disciples, even the sons and concubines of the concubines were not allowed to approach the study or studio of the great painters in ancient times.
If you sneak in privately, you must follow the clan rules.Hit the board.
There are many smart people who can learn from others by serving tea and water.
On this issue, Gu Tongxiang is more willing to be a bastard. people.
It’s still the same sentence. In the art field, stealing your painting skills, stealing your creativity, and plagiarism can range from art awards in elementary school classes to the top of the pyramid at the level of Picasso and Monet.
None of this is news at all.
"I just took a look, am I going to leak out Mr. Gu's creative ideas in advance? He is from our Max Gallery"
Hanks The face is resentful.
The young agent looked at Gu Tongxiang with a "I'm a good boy" look, cursing him in his heart.
He spent so much time licking this old guy, chatting in the store during the day, and even helping to sell the products in the gallery store when customers came to his door.
In the evening, I practiced Chinese on Duolingo, a commonly used language learning software, and also signed up for an online one-on-one Chinese teacher to practice speaking for an hour every day in my free time.
Just to take beautiful photos of Gu Tongxiang.
Just the two idioms "flowers bloom for wealth" and "both physical and spiritual".
Hanks practiced so much last night that he almost said his tongue was bald. He was so dedicated to his profession by licking it himself, and this old guy was still guarding him like a thief
"It's not like he's officially an agent yet."
Mr. Gu pretended not to see the resentful look on Hanks' face, turned his head and said slowly.
"Forget it, grandpa, if Mr. Hanks wants to come in and take a look, just come in and take a look."
On the other hand, Gu Weijing stood at the top of the stairs, stopped and said to The agent said to him, "Go in."
There's no need to hide.
He understood his grandfather's caution.
When painters paint in public studios outside, they really need to be smart and protect themselves to prevent plagiarism from being copied and unclear.
The agent and the painter have a community of interests externally.
In a few months, it was certain that he would officially become the agent painter of Ma Shi Gallery.
There’s no point in guarding Hanks now.
Showing your painting skills in front of people at Ma Shi Gallery will also strengthen the gallery’s confidence in you.
Except for those exposure opportunities stipulated in the contract written in black and white.
Whether the gallery is willing to devote more resources to promote you and organize exhibitions for you with or without cost savings, and whether it is willing to spend more money to organize exhibitions with more care.
In the end, it all comes down to the gallery’s confidence in the artists they represent.
In addition,
Gu Weijing is not planning to paint his own fusion painting today.
"Okay"
Hanks immediately felt that young people who have not been beaten into old fritters by society are cute and conscientious.
He didn’t wait for Gu Tong eitherXiang expressed his opinion again and quickly walked into the studio.
Gu Weijing casually waved to his grandfather to reassure him, and then walked in.
"I'll stretch the canvas for you."
Hanks wasn't kidding.
His main purpose was to appreciate Gu Weijing’s on-site painting skills, but when it came to attacking, he really did.
Hanks unfolded and took the canvas away from Gu Weijing's hands, quickly wrapped and fixed the four corners of the canvas, and then used wide cloth pliers to flatten and fix the four sides one by one.
With a few brushes, the canvas was stretched.
So neat
Gu Weijing looked at Hanks in surprise.
On the outside, this golden retriever agent looks like the type who talks and laughs with big collectors every day while holding a champagne glass. He is very skilled in stretching the canvas.
Stretching canvas is both a technical job and a physical job.
It should be stretched so tight that it cannot be deformed.
The secret is to use enough force, but not to pull hard, and use even force to fix the cross in the four corners.
Slightly thinner art students often stretch out their canvases until they sweat profusely.
Gu Weijing poked at the canvas in front of him.
Sometimes after he finished stretching, he could not achieve the state of making the longitude and latitude lines of the linen canvas and the four borders of the easel perfectly parallel like Hanks.
"After I graduated from college, I worked as a junior assistant in the painting studio of a painter represented by Ma Shi Gallery. I stretched the canvas for half a year. This technique is excellent, tight and elastic. "Nothing will go wrong at all."
Hanks smiled proudly when he saw Gu Weijing's surprised eyes.
According to gallery tradition,
these gallery employees who come from the Mas family often work as assistants to great painters for a period of time before becoming full-time agents.
It can not only cultivate personal connections, but also allow you to have a deeper understanding of the artist’s work and creation status.
With this experience, the agent can "think what the painter thinks and what the painter thinks" in his future career.
This is a practical theory that cannot be learned despite taking many art analysis classes in college.
In the gallery industry, the professions of broker and professional personal assistant are a revolving door that can transform into each other.
For example, Lao Yang.
He hopes to finish being Mr. Cao’s assistant and use this springboard to directly become a top agent with an annual income of one million in the future.
"In addition to stretching the canvas, I can also paint. If you need it, you can let me do it next time." Hanks showed his advantages.
The canvases Gu Weijing uses are all semi-finished acrylic canvases.
The surface is machine-coated with acrylic when it leaves the factory.
Many big guys believe that industrial coatings such as acrylic lack "aura" and are dead.It doesn't have the sun-drenched luster of oil paintings.
So semi-finished raw linen is used and coated with white powder and lithopone by hand.
Some painters who pursue antiques will also use natural glue made from Tempera or native animal bones.
What you are playing is a high-level game.
Great artists are the center of the art field, and they have the power and financial resources to do whatever they want.
If you want good results but find it troublesome, it is not a problem to hire a few assistants to stretch the canvas and apply paint for you.
“It’s really amazing.”
Gu Weijing enviously imagined the life of a high-end artist, as soon as he opened his eyes, someone would take care of the canvas and paint for him.
The most considerate thing is hiring two physical therapists to massage your shoulders while you are painting.
Grandpa and painters like him who come from poor families were used to using even one canvas over and over again.
This is the class gap.
"What the heck, you haven't seen the real willfulness of artists yet"
Hanks is funny.
The inexperienced local painter is really cute.
Where is this?
I want to travel around the world in a hot air balloon to collect music, but suddenly my head is spinning and I am crying and screaming that I want the gallery to find a team for me. I compare it with the schools of ancient Indian kings and Ramayana. This type of scripture is about fishing for sunken treasures from the ancient Arab world in the Indian Ocean.
Just think about the "fantastic ideas" of those giant babies.
Hanks felt like he was going to have a heart attack.
If the weird thoughts in the minds of great artists every day are limited to hiring a few assistants to stretch the picture frames for them and apply white powder, these are high-quality and cheap hobbies.
Big gallery owners can wake up laughing from their dreams at night.
"Even if you need it now, I can help you find an assistant. With an annual salary of about 30,000 US dollars, you can hire a very professional assistant to help you with daily chores, food, clothing, housing, transportation, and painting. "Ma Shi Gallery can help you pay your salary temporarily, and then it will be deducted from the sales of the art."
Hanks asked casually.
Gu Weijing shook his head.
He is not so extravagant as to spend 30,000 US dollars a year just to have others serve him, paint, and book flights and hotels for himself.
Gu Weijing also has his own assistant.
Uncle Alai’s hand is missing a little knuckle, and if he is asked to help him do such a dexterous job as stretching the canvas, there is a high probability that he will not be able to do such a dexterous job.
Usually, I feel very safe.
If you don’t eat or drink from him, it won’t cost you five hundred dollars a month. It’s a great value for money.
Hanks just said it casually, and he didn't care if Gu Weijing refused.
His attention has been completely attracted by Gu Weijing's movements.
“Don’t you draw paintings for exhibition?”
"No, I want to study this Impressionist oil painting again today."
Gu Weijing turned on the fill light on the wall and adjusted the color temperature so that the The original oil painting of Ms. Carroll looks close to the state of the slanting sunlight in the early morning light.
Gu Weijing had already sent a text message to his grandfather before going home.
Ask him to help take out the old church during the thunderstorm from the safe and hang it in the appropriate position with wall hanging mirror wire.
Gu Weijing did not go to the Good Luck Orphanage today because he hoped to copy an original painting by Carroll again after his sketching skills were upgraded to the second level of his profession.
In addition to being able to draw exquisite polylines in small squares, the progress of sketching also has many benefits when copying paintings.
Copying the works of the masters is to transfer the brushwork of the previous artists to one's own canvas, to transfer the line shapes of the previous artists to one's own canvas, and finally to transfer the souls of the previous artists to one's own canvas. above.
Accurate sketching skills are like a calm lake.
It can accurately reflect the line shapes of the master's works in the mind of the copyist.
"Copying"
"Yes."
"Copying is also very good. The copying painting you made before looks great. ."
"Thank you."
"You picked this oil painting up from a calligraphy and painting stall for almost no money."
"A calligraphy and painting sale. , 2,500 US dollars."
"That's no money. This is really impressive. I heard that Ms. Sakai is still co-writing a paper with you. This is simply"
" Mr. Hanks"
Gu Weijing took out a carbon strip and prepared to use it as a substitute for a sketch pencil to mark the canvas.
But he really couldn't stand Hanks acting like a curious baby, asking questions around him.
So Gu Weijing stopped what he was doing and looked at Hanks, "I don't want to be rude. It's just that I'm used to concentrating when I'm painting, so please don't make any noise. Okay." Well"
Gu Weijing likes to be quiet when painting.
Absolute silence is not necessarily required.
The key is to divide people.
Miss Sakai Katsuko occasionally chatted nearby, analyzing the colors on the canvas, and exchanging tacit glances with each other.
Gu Weijing felt very warm and it was a kind of positive emotional support.
If it were Hanks, even though the blond guy kept praising him, Gu Weijing still felt a little noisy.
"My bad, quiet, understand, quiet."
Hanks wasn't angry either.
He pinched his thumb and index finger and pulled them over his lips, making a zipper gesture with a smile.
The painter is the absolute monarch in front of the canvas.
Some painters like to listen to communicationSome painters like to listen to the students' admonishment and flattery in front of the students in the studio. The more they paint, the more enjoyable they become.
There are also some painters who like silence like Gu Weijing.
Hanks thought that young painters at this age liked others to lick him.
He didn’t mind Gu Weijing telling him to shut up.
As long as the artist works hard, he has the right to paint however he wants.
If Gu Weijing’s paintings can be sold for Uncle Sakai’s price one day.
Even when he was painting, he asked himself to pole dance beside him and sing the opera Turandot to relieve his boredom. Hanks is also willing to take the plunge without hesitation.
Gu Weijing finally calmed down and began to draw a sketch with pencil on the sketch canvas.
"Sand"
Gu Weijing used a carbon pen to draw several sets of intersecting lines on the linen canvas in a straight and light way.
The intersection lines crisscross the space, cutting out different vertical, horizontal and diagonal spaces on the canvas, and finally meet in the depth of the painting.
As Gu Weijing carefully drew various vertical and complex scaffolding-like lines on the linen canvas.
The two-dimensional linen canvas immediately became three-dimensional.
Hanks looked at Gu Weijing's sketch manuscript and opened his eyes slightly.
"You are positioning the vanishing point and horizon line to copy an oil painting. Do you need to make such a complicated sketch?" He couldn't help but ask.
Vanishing point and horizon are both terms in sketching.
The vanishing point refers to the intersection point where the extension lines of each point of the three-dimensional figure disappear. The horizon line is a line that divides the painter's field of vision up and down when observing the scenery.
Western painting is more realistic and realistic than the traditional Eastern Xia painting method, because behind the sketch there is a complete set of human eye imaging principles based on physical optics.
When drawing a building,
Whether it is single-point perspective, double-point perspective, or multi-point perspective, you need to position and draw the vanishing point and the horizon line.
Positioning the imaging focus is not uncommon.
What is strange is that when Gu Weijing is dealing with a copy painting, the line draft of the sketch is too serious and too detailed
Unless it is a complex portrait.
With this kind of pencil and charcoal draft, don’t you just draw two rough positioning lines and an outline draft, and then you can start drawing directly
“It’s so complicated. Is it really necessary? This is just an impressionist painting."
"It can give me better brush positioning and spatial structure."
Gu Weijing. He explained casually.
Hanks actually knows the answer to this question.
Of course it is necessary.
Even if people often only make two hasty strokes when drawing oil paintings, a good sketch can bring a lot of information to the artist in the subsequent painting steps.
Don’t look at it. Impressionists tend to pay more attention to light and shadow, and don’t put too much effort into realism.
But a true sketch master can mark and plan the changes in light and shadow contrast of the entire picture during the sketch draft process.
Wait until you switch to a soft pen. I am completely confident.
No matter how scattered the color spots on the canvas are, no matter how fast the light and shadow changes in the painting, the whole picture will not appear messy and disorderly.
Of course, it will never be easy to reach this point.
If you don’t draw well, the various sketch lines on the final manuscript will make the picture more messy, and the more confusing it will be when you draw it.
It’s like building a Lego toy, the same Death Star-themed model, one with 300 parts and the other with 3,000 parts.
In the eyes of experts, the more parts and the more complex the structure, the more realistic and delicate the final effect will be.
But ordinary people just vomit blood and return the goods when they look at such a large pile of broken parts, and they don’t even have the courage to fight on.
If you try hard, one piece will be lost and one piece will be added, resulting in a mess.
Such a detailed sketch is rarely seen in copying.
Copying often only requires grasping the general outline relationship, but what Gu Weijing did was more like completely dismantling the painting in front of him and creating his own from scratch.
Hanks looked at Gu Weijing.
Is the other party really so confident in his sketch, or does he just want to show off in front of him?
Don't overdo it.
Gu Weijing glanced at Hanks and reminded him again, "Please be quiet."
"There won't be a next time."
Hank Si slapped his mouth and stared seriously at the canvas in front of the young man.
No matter whether what Gu Weijing draws next is good or bad, he has already been intrigued by the other person.
Gu Weijing continued to focus on the canvas.
This is also the first time he has typed such a complicated draft.
Because of the lack of sketching skills and trying to speed up the progress.
When Gu Weijing first copied the old church, he liked to directly use a projector to scale the picture of the old church in a thunderstorm to a suitable size and project it onto a blank canvas.
He then slowly traced down a few simple curves of the old church described by Carroll based on the picture, which he used as the positioning of the pen when applying paint.
Just painting like this is only a temporary shortcut, not a long-term solution.
After copying several works of Ms. Carroll and gradually becoming familiar with the structure of the old church, Gu Weijing threw away the "crutch" of the projector and began to try to draw Ms. Carroll by hand. The writing relationship.
When Gu Weijing was copying in the past, he would only make a rough outline of the sketch before using the oil brush.
He will not pursue how exquisite the painting is.beautiful.
As his sketching skills improved, Gu Weijing changed his mind.
Gu Weijing discovered that thunderstorm and candlelight, which are very particular about oil painting brushwork and pigment blending, have now made a lot of progress.
Only the main building still has many imperfections and incongruities.
Sketching should help him improve this.
Architecture and sketching have been entangled with each other since their birth.
With various cfd electronic graphics modeling software being so developed and convenient today, sketching classes are still required courses for most architectural majors.
Students in general cultural classes who enter university must also learn sketching.
If you find that you have no talent for art and cannot draw well, many universities used to force you to change your major.
Push forward to the 21st century,
Sketching and drawing are as necessary professional skills for architects and cartographers as eating and drinking.
An architect who cannot draw is like a soldier who cannot shoot. He cannot be called an architect at all.
The graphics that are the birth of all outstanding buildings are sketch lines drawn on paper.
There is a proverb in the Middle Ages that the gravity of the earth and the lines of carbon pencil are the father and mother of castles, palaces and churches.
The artist’s modeling ability supports the linear soul in the core of architectural drawings.
"Sketch Technique v7 Master Level 1."
The calligraphy and painting appraisal technology evaluates the accuracy of Ms. Carroll's pen and ink, both oil paintings and sketches are at the master level.
The oil painting brush allows her to capture the chaotic bright thunderclouds and the misty candlelight that looks like weaving from colorful silk ribbons.
The sketching pen defines the architectural structure and grasps the contrast of the overall light and dark atmosphere of the picture.
Gu Weijing raised his head and stared at the picture frame on the wall.
He could imagine the delicate sketch hidden under the paint from the canvas in front of him.
He imagined Miss Carroll, a female painter with golden-red hair, using foggy, layered pencil lines to draw the circular dome of the church bit by bit. , weaving the appearance of this fresh red-walled building on the canvas.
Gu Weijing also started to take action in his own hands. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
