In the studio,
Gu Weijing repeatedly made sure that the brightness of the paint on the canvas after his trimming finally did not dissatisfy him.
So we continued to follow the established order of copying, from deep to shallow, describing the distant view, main body and close-up view of the painting of the old church.
Whether it is a color point or a ribbon.
The brushstrokes of Impressionist works are generally characterized by ups and downs, thin and short brushwork style, and bright colors.
There are suitable different painting methods to express different lighting conditions.
Gu Weijing used a slanted brush mixed with titanium white and lemon yellow to express the changes in color and texture of the main body of the building.
This is to create the hard majesty of the church wall and to reflect the subtle weathering after being eroded by time.
When depicting the roof of the building, he added a slight hint of phthalocyanine blue.
Phthalocyanine blue can change part of the roof from dark red to magenta, reflecting the cold light of thunderclouds in the sky on the cathedral dome, creating a mysterious feeling, which is just right.
"The technique of sketching is indeed the foundation of Western art."
Gu Weijing nodded gently.
His thoughts when matching these paints are the same as the reason why he just used an oil painting knife to paint the originally dark sky looser and more breathable.
They all follow their inner intuition.
The painter's sense sounds mysterious and unreliable, but in fact it is the artist's sixth sense developed from accumulated experience after thousands of practices.
Very useful.
After improving his sketching skills, Gu Weijing’s precise control of light and dark details allowed him to be more imaginative when copying and correct past deficiencies.
Gu Weijing has copied this painting of the old church in a thunderstorm countless times.
The macro structure of the entire picture is very familiar to him.
Now he only needs to strengthen these details to a deeper level, and he can easily obtain a painting with wanton brushwork and astonishing detail.
"The current copying of the painting Old Church in a Thunderstorm has been completed"
"The similarity of this copying is 612, and you have obtained an intermediate treasure chest in the system."
As Gu Weijing used an oil paint brush, he finally added a touch of thunderstorm water vapor to the surface of the linen as the finishing touch of the copying.
The system prompts came from the virtual panel in a timely manner.
"I got another intermediate treasure box."
Gu Weijing felt that this was reasonable.
He focused more on the evaluation of the copying similarity of "612".
On that thunderstorm night, when he and Shengzi copied the original work together, the similarity reached over 59. It seems that Gu Wei achieved a 2% increase after spending so much effort.
In fact, they are completely different concepts.
Impressionism is a painting school that pursues creation of real scenes in the wild.
The weather conditions that night were copied and the scene in the old church created by Ms. Carroll was extremely restored.
When Gu Weijing usually creates, it is difficult to reproduce such good external conditions.
Without the help of the weather, in the past few weeks of copying, he had only received an intermediate treasure chest reward once, and the rest were all primary treasure chests.
The works on the easel in front of Gu Weijing are completely imitations that he copied behind closed doors in his small studio at home.
This not only means that he broke through the 60 mark for the first time.
It also means that with Gu Weijing's current painting techniques, he can very stably produce copy paintings that have most of the brilliance of Carroll's brushwork without relying on the assistance of external mirrors.
While the frequency of obtaining intermediate treasure chests became higher, he also took a step closer to the final reward of this task.
"Renoir's fragments of various ghosts in the world."
Gu Weijing glanced at it with eager eyes, the highest reward that the system could give for this Impressionist limited mission.
He still doesn’t know what “ghost fragments” are.
When chatting, Sakai Katsuko once said that in her heart, when an art student walks forward courageously on the path of the senior masters, she reaches the end.
When you re-create at that time, it is like the senior master in the grave passing through the dust and smoke of history and clinging to you to write for you.
Achieve the effect of resurrection from the dead in a sense.
Gu Weijing didn’t know whether this system reward was a similar concept to what Shengzi said.
Anyway, it looks very powerful
He still remembers that when he got the legendary Baiyi Tree, Henri Rousseau's "childishness" appeared on the lottery page. "The handwriting on the ghost fragment.
The so-called ghost fragments should be legendary items of the same level as the Baiyi Tree.
Henry Rousseau is not the famous pioneer of enlightenment, the Rousseau lying in the Pantheon in France.
Just the same name.
Although he was also an important painter in the 19th century, he should be ranked close to the top ten among the great Post-Impressionist painters.
However, regardless of the strength of his painting skills and his status as an artist, he is completely unable to compare with the founder of a sect like Reiano.
Compare it like this.
Theoretically, the reward on the system panel should be more awesome.
Gu Weijing opened the intermediate treasure box at hand with secret expectations for the future.
"I hope I can open another blessing candle."
In the previous intermediate treasure box, he opened about 400 oil painting experience points.
The experience value range is much larger than the 50,300 or so points that are often found in entry-level treasure chests, which translates into several thousand dollars.
But no matter what, it can’t be smaller thanCandles work.
The more small candles that can increase inspiration, the better.
Gu Weijing can’t tell when it will be used.
What is disappointing is that the system panel is not Gu Weijing’s voice-controlled game after all.
The intermediate treasure chest is opened.
It is not experience points, nor is it a one-time skill to bless the little candle.
Three silver playing cards were suspended in front of Gu Weijing.
Choose one of the three knowledge cards as a reward for this intermediate treasure chest.
Award: One prize: the architectural drawings of the Palace of Guell and a detailed explanation of the decorative arts of the 19th century by Antoni Gaudí
Two prizes: an interpretation of the muscle power and posture of the wrestler Thomas Akins

Intermediate treasure chests are just different.
The knowledge cards in front of me are actually much more conscientious than the elementary treasure chests.
It is no longer the system that randomly stuffs him with a strange and unpopular knowledge card that he doesn’t know how to use. Instead, Gu Weijing was given three options to choose according to his own needs.
Gu Weijing glanced at the three options.
These knowledge cards are actually quite useful.
It seems to be much more reliable for painters than the purple and blue macaw feather specimens and skeletal anatomy diagrams he found in the primary treasure chest before.
On the road of art, they can bring a lot of help to Gu Weijing.
Obviously,
the two options of reward one and reward two respectively correspond to the two main common categories of painting themes: architectural painting and figure painting.
Antoni Gaudí is a wonder like Leonardo da Vinci in the history of architectural art.
He was both an architect and a sketch painter, and a representative figure in the Art Nouveau movement.
Any building whose design drawings are signed with the name of this master is almost equivalent to a world cultural heritage-level scenic spot.
Palace Guell in Spain, throughout the 19th century, also became famous for its rich decorative details and innovative designs such as mosaic tiles with clever curves.
If you choose this reward.
If he wants to create an architectural painting with the Palais Quail as the main palace in the future, he must be extremely realistic and accurate.
If you want to draw other famous buildings designed and created by Gaudi, such as the Holy Family Church and Mira Apartments, where countless art students squat outside every year to sketch, you can also draw analogies.
The second reward is not bad.
Generally speaking, regardless of whether they are engaged in art or literature, Europeans naturally look down on their American cousins.
This implicit discrimination still existed in cultural circles from the Revolutionary War to the end of the twentieth century.
FallThe Wrestler Wrestlers is an exception. It is one of the few native oil paintings in American history that has been sold.
Thomas Eakins is the father of American art, a figure that all North American students cannot avoid when studying art history.
His contribution in depicting the lines of the human body is no less than that of Mr. Berryman, but his creative direction is more inclined to express the subdivision of "muscle force during human movement".
Whether it is UFC or e, Uncle Sam has always had a passion for the scenes of strong men wrestling with their shirts bare, which is difficult for people in other countries to understand.
The wrestler has almost taken the oil painter's delicate expression of human body muscles to a new level.
The most inconspicuous thing is the reward three given by the system.
The first two options,
The two masters Gaudi and Aikins are all very familiar to art students, and the value of the knowledge cards goes without saying.
The third reward is that Gu Weijing was stunned.
"What is this?"
He took out his mobile phone to check, and then found out on the Internet that this "Piquet" should be a tenured veterinary student at the University of California. professor.
This guy doesn’t even have a wiki page.
At the University of California, Davis, where he works, the Department of Veterinary Medicine has ranked first in the QS professional rankings for the past three years.
The name of the pet mind-reading book Twelve Tips to Find Out whether Your Cat or Dog is Happy sounds unserious, like one of those junk books on Amazon for housewives to kill time in their spare time.
The relevant introduction to the network said.
It is actually a very serious academic tome about pet behavior, and it is also one of the required textbooks for students in the Department of Veterinary Medicine at the University of California.
Gu Weijing was also in a public video class of Professor Piquet on the Internet. He saw a student claiming to be from the University of California complaining that this guy was like a pervert and gave them every class. There are pictures of different pet expressions, and even skeletal structures and anatomy diagrams under X-rays, allowing students to submit a short paper after class on the analysis of the behavior patterns of cats or dogs in this courseware.
It was too torture
It was not so painful for him to study his girlfriend’s facial micro-expressions
Based on this information, Gu Weijing understood Professor Piquet He is a top veteran expert on animal behavior in the field of veterinary medicine.
Veterinarians and painters are two completely unrelated professions.
It seems that no matter how famous Professor Piquet is, he is still incomparable with the first two great artists.
In that case.
Gu Weijing studied on his mobile phone for a while, and finally figured out what the contents of the three rewards were.
He chose reward three without any hesitation
Just kidding
The first two rewards are also very good, but compared with the third reward, it is not good at all.
This is a reward for teaching him how to draw cats and dogs well
No art student will give up such an opportunity.
“The system also has such good things.”
Just hearing that there are similar anatomical structures of cats and dogs to Mr. Berryman’s sketch character cards makes me wonder. It was enough to surprise Gu Weijing.
No matter how complex architecture and the human body are, art students will have professional learning opportunities in the future.
It was not uncommon in the Middle Ages for painters to dissect corpses.
Research on the anatomy of cats and dogs
Well, this is a bit difficult to accept by the modern public.
Just a joke.
In today's public opinion environment in Western society, if I learn that the painter bought cats and dogs and had them dissected and studied, the sentence is likely to be worse than secretly going to the forensic morgue to secretly dissect and cut up the bodies for fun. The sentence is even more severe.
Of course, you don’t have to dissect yourself to study cats and dogs.
It’s just that art students usually have no channels to learn this aspect.
It is often used when painting.
In history, the animal that has been most frequently used as a model by painters is undoubtedly human.
The second is cats and dogs.
For Eastern literati painters, it was also important to be able to draw horses.
The remaining rhinoceros, gorilla, whale, tiger, camel, and sika deer were also painted by others, but the total number of famous paintings is no more than a dog hair.
The emotions the artist gives to animals in his brushstrokes are no less than those given to nature.
The history of keeping pets can be traced back to at least 15,000 years ago.
Since the ancient Egyptian murals 7,000 years ago, when residents on both sides of the Nile River used sharp stone bricks to try to carve simple patterns on the walls, the image of pets began to appear.
Painting cats and dogs have existed throughout the entire history of human art.
There are often sky-high price artworks with themes of cats and dogs appearing in auction houses.
Artists are often clearly divided into two schools: the dog school and the cat school.
Hounds of various breeds can often be seen in the delicate court painting style represented by Rococo art.
In modern times, Andy Warhol and even fashion designers like Chanel's Lafayette are all pure cat slaves.
Picasso is a fence-sitter who loves both cats and dogs and likes to paint.
In general, I draw more cats.
Dora Maar and the Cat, Jacqueline Sitting on the Chair and the Cat, and the Cat Eating a Bird are all world-famous paintings with average transaction prices currently ranging from 50 million to 95 million US dollars. Cat figure.
The French painter Balthus, whom Picasso admired most, devoted himself to observing various stray cats and painted them for half his life. Many of his famous paintings were bought by art museums at high prices for collection.number.
Drawing pets is a great subject.
Animals also have their own looks and expressions.
In many cases, humans can get more emotional comfort from pets such as cats and dogs than from the same kind.
Not just painting.
The Yunsu Mao and Yunsu Dog videos on Bilibili, Douyin, and YouTube, which often have millions of fans and tens of millions of views, are the embodiment of this mass psychology.
Gu Weijing’s finger tapped on the surface of the reward three tab card on the system panel.
The other two rewards disappeared directly.
The third reward is the same as the knowledge cards Gu Weijing received in the past, turned into a more detailed introduction panel.

Quality Knowledge Cards
Special effects to gain knowledge After reading the card, you will clearly understand its corresponding content.
No equipment required
Content introduction Bacon said that only when you understand a person's heart and learn to think in the other person's way can you truly be able to use words to describe it on paper. His silhouette.
Similarly, only when painters really understand the facial expressions and moods of pets can they accurately capture their spirit with their brushes.
Contemporary experts on animal behavior have gradually mastered the key to interpreting their body information. It is better to be friends with a thinking pet than with a confused person.
Remarks: Art belongs to humans, and art also belongs to cats, but in the final analysis, it is the cat’s meow.
Gu Weijing felt a large amount of information pouring into his mind like an electric current.
His head was stinging from the stuffing, and he subconsciously held on to the wall beside him.
The amount of information contained in this knowledge card is considered to be very large among the knowledge cards he has obtained in the past.
The information Gu Weijing obtained in the past was closely related to the field of painting, and he had been exposed to it since he was a child.
Otherwise it would be one or more anatomical drawings.
As for the knowledge cards this time, the system seemed to have put a complete unfamiliar subject into Gu Weijing's mind by summarizing the academic achievements of a great professor over many years.
His mind was instantly filled with all kinds of knowledge about pets.
Hunch your waist, bar your teeth, wag your tail, and lick your nose.
The meanings of countless common body movements of companion pets. And when they make these movements, the muscles and bones of the whole body operate like a precise gear set, contracting and relaxing, just like thousands of teaching slides with detailed notes, playing in Gu Weijing's mind one after another.
Balthus is known as the "cat painting expert" in the history of art and is sought after by collectors because the painter was used to sitting in front of the apartment building on the banks of the Seine, observing various stray cats, and painting the cats exercise, eatingThe different states of the time were recorded in a handy sketchbook.
Balthus persisted in this habit for forty years of his life.
Probably the one who knows the most about cats among all artists.
Unfortunately, Balthus does not have a system and cannot start or hang up.
Gu Weijing was confident that Balthus’ forty years of observation and accumulation of cats was still no match for the effect of a knowledge card.
People who draw cats are not as professional as zoological scientists who study cats.
The knowledge card divides the pet's demeanor into different emotional expressions such as joy, anger, sorrow, hunting, defense, vigilance, courtship, etc. Each expression has pupils dilated to capture more visual information, and hair follicles. Tiny muscles contract, making hair stand up, and other corresponding physical states.
The wealth of knowledge and information he has gained is enough to serve as a professional psychologist for pets.
Gu Weijing took out his mobile phone.
He clicked on the avatar on his fiverr homepage.
Their family runs a calligraphy and painting shop, and it is not like the rich and famous artists who can separate their home environment and studio, raise cats and dogs, and have someone to take care of them.
Grandpa Gu Tongxiang thinks it is unsettling to have a pet.
All kinds of random drilling and hair loss. If the cat is in estrus and then paws on the unprotected paintings in the gallery, it will be a headache.
So it is forbidden to keep pets at home.
To be fair, Gu Weijing himself likes small animals.
When he registered an anonymous artist account, he chose the name "Detective Cat" and his avatar was a female cat wearing a monocle.
Gu Weijing’s understanding of cats is much higher than when he created the detective cat avatar.
At this time, there is an encyclopedia of cats in my mind, including British shorthair cats, orange cats, tabby cats, ragdoll cats, sleeping cats, yawning cats, and cats chasing butterflies. Cat catching lice.
He looked at his fiverr profile picture and immediately saw that what he had drawn at that time was a
hemiplegic, strange-looking, mottled, demented cat.
Gu Weijing shrank his neck.
Goosebumps stood up all over his body when he saw it
The coat color is wrong, there is no natural hair color matching and the stripes look like the color pencil sketch, which is still a small problem.
The key is that the proportion of the eyes is wrong, and the distance between the eyes and the tip of the nose is too wide.
The sphenoid bone is too long, the mandible is too narrow, and when a cat squints in bright sunlight, its vertical pupils should look like a dyed olive with gradient colors. The squinted pupils of the cat in my painting are very strange, and the face is His overall expression is also very strange.
This painting is not a real cat, but just a work spliced by Gu Weijing based on the stereotype of small animals in his mind at the time.
If the subject is a human being,
This painting is just a mouth with a crooked eye, no neck, a chin that wraps around the sky, a protruding forehead, and a nose that is not even close to the sky.The upper lip is huge, half of the face is stern, and the other half shows a weird smile. It looks like the god Cthulhu, which makes people feel sick.
Many cartoon animal illustrations or serious artworks with incorrect body proportions and muscle lines can also bring negative emotions to the audience.
The audience finds the graffiti portraits disgusting and demoralizing.
Doodles of animal portraits often don’t get such a big reaction, just because ordinary people are far less familiar with animals than people.
As long as you are familiar enough with animals, you can still see the uncanny valley effect even if you don’t look at the right animal paintings.
Even if it doesn’t feel disgusting.
The animal paintings in front of me can only convey the abstract concept of "this thing is a cat".
The audience will never be able to see the cute inner feelings that are unique to fluffy elves and make you feel happy involuntarily.
It lacks the "aura" of true nature.
Gu Weijing couldn't stand it after watching it for a while. He was speechless. He just drew a cat. He didn't think it was anything before, but now he feels that his avatar is really ugly.
He secretly made up his mind to change to a new avatar in a few days. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
