"If you want to take a step forward, you have to work hard on both, pragmatism and pragmatism. Only by combining virtuality and reality can you have both strength and softness."
During the video call, Professor Lin Tao was stroking his beard. He pointed with a wagging finger.
Art is a very personal subject.
Theoretically,
the difficulties that trouble each individual painter are different.
The bottlenecks that restrict painters from reaching the next level also vary from person to person.
The path to breakthrough that is suitable for one painter may not be suitable for another painter. Advice given by outsiders is tantamount to trying to find a sword.
At this time, the advantage of having a boss-level teacher around you who can be consulted at any time begins to be clearly reflected.
Lin Tao himself has experienced this stage.
Most of his brothers and sisters, as well as the students in the studio who were carefully selected from the most talented students of CAFA, have also gone through this stage.
Although he could not directly help Gu Weijing break through his "karma obstacles" in just a few words, he could provide very feasible suggestions based on half a century of painting experience and a high-level perspective.
Be pragmatic and pragmatic.
It seems to be a vain and empty-headed rhetoric.
But don’t underestimate the value of this sentence. How many teachers from the Eastern Xia Painting Association who started out alone with tens of thousands of yuan for a painting carried thousands of yuan during the Chinese New Year? With one tael of Lapsang Souchong and boxes of Feitian Maotai in the trunk, he came to Professor Lin’s house and asked Professor Lin for advice in an honest and polite manner, as if he were a disciple.
What I want to do is to give some advice to myself or my juniors, Professor Lin.
Traditional Chinese painting, calligraphy, preaching and teaching have always been about teaching one sentence and pretending to teach thousands of scriptures.
Charlatans can be eloquent and deceive you, but they have no nutrition.
A master like Lin Tao can hit the point with just a few words, and the price is worth gold.
Even if a junior like Gu Weijing is a genius, he is just a sapling at his age. It is far from time to think about how to establish a sect, become a self-contained entity, and become a self-contained forest.
Small saplings do not grow much, most likely because their roots are not deep enough.
If a young painter cannot break through the bottleneck, it is most likely because of insufficient accumulation.
The so-called retreat among art practitioners is nothing more than reading, and the so-called pragmatism is nothing more than painting.
How to read, how to draw.
There is a big deal about it.
Professor Lin Tao did not choose any teaching materials to teach the details of painting. As for artistic techniques, it is enough to teach him on a regular basis.
In his heart.
What Gu Weijing lacked most was not painting experience, but orthodox Chinese literacy.
Although this child’s ancestor was a palace painter.
But my family has been migrating to Southeast Asia for too long, and the living environment since I was little has lacked seniors like Mr. Cao or Junior Sister Tang Ning.The cultural environment of the literati family is refreshing.
Gu Weijing studied painting from his grandfather since he was a child, and he learned more about "skills" than "Tao".
Compared with Western aesthetics, the most important feature of Eastern art is that what is painted is not only the pattern, but also the artist's personal style and spirit.
So he specially selected The Rise and Fall of National Treasures by Mr. Yang Renkai and The Fragrance of Heaven by Mr. Li Lincan, the former deputy director of the National Palace Museum in Taipei, the treasure island of Eastern Xia.
Both of these are relatively unknown painting books.
The former summarizes a large number of allusions to the national treasures of the Eastern Xia Dynasty and the stories of protecting these lost cultural relics during the Anti-Japanese War. Reading it makes people sometimes feel high-spirited, sometimes sigh with sadness, and feel sad and happy at the same time.
The latter systematically sorts out the art context in Chinese history, covering everything from painting and calligraphy to pottery, architecture, sculpture, and views on life and death.
Professor Lin Tao asked Gu Weijing to read these two books every day.
You can read without asking for a thorough understanding, but you must read it over and over again. It is not limited to the rhetoric of a certain chapter, but focuses on the overall atmosphere of the book.
Gradually, all the connotations and images conveyed between the lines of the written and ink words were integrated into my heart.
When Mr. Cao Xuan taught painting to Lin Tao and his brothers and sisters, he repeatedly emphasized that only when an oriental painter understands the responsibility of inheriting art and understands every famous painting of his predecessors. The sentiments and elegance contained in it are rooted in five thousand years of cultural accumulation
Only in this way can it be absorbed and indestructible.
You should also draw while reading.
The old man asked Gu Weijing to continue copying Tang Ning’s painting of hundreds of flowers, but there was no need to copy the entire painting.
Other flowers are omitted and only the wisteria is painted.
The most noble flower in traditional oriental culture is the peony, which "brings wealth and wealth", followed by the wisteria, which is said to have "purple air coming from the east".
Depicting wisteria is not as graceful and cumbersome as painting peonies. The process of expressing the image with a brush is also better than depicting the classic flowers such as plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, which carry a deeper aesthetic image and cultural connotation. Much simpler.
But it can be connected with Chinese culture.
Li Bai once praised the lingering beauty of wisteria with his famous poem "The wisteria hangs on the cloud trees, and the flowers and vines are suitable for spring. The dense leaves hide the singing birds, and the fragrant wind retains the beauty."
Emperor Qianlong was a wisteria lover. He wrote poems and poems about wisteria throughout his life, but his level was mostly limited.
The more important point is.
Wisteria flower branches are in clusters, with single flowers like butterflies, pedicles like holders, and flower stalks like orchids.
For a small piece of wisteria flower, use medium regular script when painting the vines, small regular script when painting the petals, and use the smallest outline brush when filling in the leaf veins.
There are also differences in the postures of different wing forwards, center forwards, and reverse forwards.
Nearly coveredCome to most of the techniques that need to be used in flower painting.
If you practice wisteria well, you will be able to practice more than a dozen different strokes and strokes. Just like the eight methods for calligraphy and painting enthusiasts to write the word "Yong" when writing a calligraphy post, after writing the word "Yong", they also write the horizontal and vertical hooks at the same time.
Thinking of Professor Lin Tao’s instructions on the phone, Gu Weijing in the auditorium turned over a page of the book in his hand.
Good birds are also friends on the branches, and fallen flowers and water are articles.
Gu Weijing happened to read the ninth chapter of Tianyu Liufang today, which is about flower and bird paintings and the feelings of literati.
He watched Mr. Li Lincan talk about the realism of the Song Dynasty, the freehand brushwork of the Tang Dynasty, how to respond to nature with a broad mind, and what kind of mentality the ancients used to paint the leaves of the fern in their paintings in a smooth and orderly way, and the wild grasses. The paintings of Xianhuadu are so cute and cute, and I am a little fascinated by them.
Gu Weijing's fingers naturally began to draw on the fabric armrests of the school auditorium seats.

A series of prompt messages constantly appear on the system virtual panel.
The experience bar began to move towards the end of the first level of the profession again at an unpleasant but perceptible speed.
Obviously the text content he read was not directly related to the painting skills, but Gu Weijing could still feel a potential transformation and sublimation taking place among the invisible lines drawn by his fingers.
“It’s so convenient to have a portable grandpa on the phone.”
Gu Weijing can now feel the kindness of Professor Lin Tao in the practice tasks assigned to him every day. Be careful.
Leverage the meaning of other people’s words to nourish your own style of writing and ink.
Especially when he read that Xu Wenchang, one of the three great talents of the Ming Dynasty, had a rough life and had no talent, so he had to devote his love to the landscapes of calligraphy and painting. In the wisteria pictures painted by Xu Wenchang, he used uninhibited wild cursive The inscription says "thrown around among the wild vines"
Using this phrase as a metaphor for my own pearl, which was abandoned by the ruthless world and the dark literati bureaucracy in the late Ming Dynasty, and was mixed with weeds.
The silk painting of wisteria flowers and vines in the book is extremely delicate and extremely lonely.
Although this is just an illustration photo in a book rather than an actual object, although the mineral pigments on the original silk have faded into a pool of dirty ink over the course of more than three hundred years.
Gu Weijing still has a deeper understanding of the flower language and emotional sustenance behind the four-character image of wisteria flower "Purple Air Coming from the East".
"Throw it into the wild vines, throw it into the wild vines."
Gu Weijing muttered this sentence to himself, not knowing what it contained. How many angry and helpless chants.
His fingertips sometimes splashed ink with large strokes, sometimes used small strokes to smudge, and marked out bunches of wisteria flowers on the rice paper he was thinking about.
Gu Weijing’s eyesSquint slightly, and wander away from the noisy and restless campus auditorium.
He felt like he was walking in a sea of wisteria flowers, surrounded by flying petals, and he seemed to be able to smell the faint fragrance of flowers at the tip of his nose.
The shadows of the flowers sway like purple waterfalls.
Just when Gu Weijing was getting closer and closer to the essence of the wisteria flower painting, he noticed someone standing in front of him.
"No date, I have a girlfriend, find someone else."
He just popped out a few words from his mouth without looking up.
Don’t blame Gu Weijing for being a little rude.
He was immersed in the rare pleasure of the rapid and natural growth of his painting experience bar, and he really didn’t want to be disturbed by any covetous beasts.
Buyue
Miao Angwen, who was standing in front of Gu Weijing and looked at him with a cool sideways glance, was a little bit off guard.
What the hell is not dating?
Since classmate Xiao Miao hugged the golden and thick legs of Brother Hao, who is worth more than nine figures, he has completely changed his mind. .
There is no need to wear uniforms at the campus party.
Miao Angwin, who used to be a swindler and work-study student to rent a formal dress, has now become gleaming.
Wearing a Rolex Daytona watch on her wrist.
The strap is pure gold.
Wearing a dark formal suit by Armani, the collar brace is made of pure gold, and the cuff pins are also made of pure gold.
The jade bodhisattva pendant inlaid with gold and jade hangs on the arm, and even the ball leather shoes on the feet are from the old Italian handmade shoe brand Iron Lion.
At the dance, he stood like an ant.
And now.
He, Miao Aung Win, really shook his head
Only the wrong name, not the wrong nickname.
Brother Hao looks elegant and thin. He is a compassionate layman who likes to burn incense and worship Buddha.
If you put this hero in the ancient feudal dynasty, he would definitely be the type of horse thief leader who can eat meat in large quantities in the Juyi Hall, drink wine from large bowls, divide gold on large scales, and those who follow me will prosper and those who go against me will perish. .
While he was decisive in killing his subordinates, he was also very generous and generous. Not only did he make a fortune himself, but he was also willing to bring his subordinates to make a fortune together.
Although classmate Xiao Miao is dressed the way she is now, she looks like a nouveau riche like Guo Degang wearing Versace.
But on the other hand,
In the eyes of real public opinion, artists never look at the clothes but only who wears them.
When great artists wear vests full of holes, the media will praise them as bohemian.
Damien Hirst wears a large leather coat with nails on the shoulders and a thick silver chain all day long. In the spotlight, he prepared himself as if he was about to take to the streets in the next second and ride a motorcycle to rob and rob a desperate bosozoku.
It also does not delay the fact that he was once the most valuable person in the world..
"Haha, Brother Miao, this classmate of yours is quite interesting."
Next to her, Miao Anwen, who is holding Miao's arm, is wearing earrings and looks quite charming with makeup. The girl was lying on his shoulder and joking.
She is a student at another local private middle school.
Dulwich College has campus co-construction agreements with several local sister private schools.
In addition to Dulwich College, there were students from several other schools at the social evening.
A man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle. Miao Aung Win’s expensive coat can still attract the favor of those young ladies.
"Okay, you go aside first, I have something to tell him."
Miao Angwen patted the face of the female companion next to him, waved to signal her to leave, and He glanced at Gu Weijing, who was sitting on the chair in front of him.
What would classmate Xiaomiao say about this peer?
I am three parts jealous, three parts mocking, two parts afraid, and one part disdainful.
Miao Angwin saw the group of sketches and pencil drawings on the campus publicity board.
The painting is indeed pretty good, but if I think about it seriously, there is a high probability that I will not be able to draw such a work.
Unexpectedly, he even created together with Mr. Cao Xuan.
No wonder Brother Hao thinks so highly of him.
But what does this mean?
If a painter wants to become famous, he must first look at fate, secondly, and thirdly, luck and feng shui, and fourthly, look at noble people and fifthly, look at wealth.
Painting techniques are very late. There are so many people who are capable but not outstanding. These two sketches by Gu Weijing really mean nothing.
A wine glass made of bezoar stones worth five million dollars, nft blockchain pixels worth ten million dollars, and a shark specimen worth twenty million dollars.
The history of human art speculation is vast.
Measured in units of one hundred years and one century, each century is a big wave of sand, with lasting aesthetic value. Works of art that were once worth gold will continue to be valuable until the next century. Nothing is even half as valuable as gold.
Most works of art are nothing more than a Ponzi scheme. After spending time with Brother Hao, Miao Angwen has understood everything.
The status in art history and so on.
Please,
Why are you thinking so much? This kind of thing is inherently insulated from nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine painters in the world. You can only earn money. , only what is down-to-earth is one’s own.
"Gu Weijing, you think you are very proud and arrogant now, right."
Miao Ang smiled warmly and sinisterly.
Gu Weijing boy, you don’t know what you have given up.
Thinking of the great future ahead of me, the one-year pre-signing contract with the Korean Academy of Fine Arts and the special passage to the Venice Art Exhibition.
Miao Aung Win is now walking with wind. Please remember to bookmark it, the latest and fastest website address is free of theft protection.Free reading
