A gust of wind blew by, causing ripples on the water.
Gu Weijing took out two small wooden boxes from his backpack and opened them on the picnic table set up by Miss Sakai's bodyguard.
The wooden box is a miniature box between the size of a girl's blush cake and a mooncake box.
One side is blue and the other is bright red. They look like ruby and sapphire seals shining in the sun.
The blue side is cyanine, and the red side is rouge.
The complexity of Chinese painting pigments is no less than that of oil paints, but only a few single colors are used for each independent flower theme.
Gu Weijing and Sakai Katsuko came to the botanical garden to collect the scenery, and they came to copy the wisteria flowers on the spot.
To draw wisteria flowers, you mainly need to use two colors: cyan and rouge.
Add titanium white and leaf green that need to control the color intensity, and prepare a small oil fume ink tablet made from the smoke of burning tung oil.
All the paints can be carried away in a small backpack, which is very convenient.
Gu Weijing took out a plastic document holder from his schoolbag.
It is not easy to bring rolls of cooked rice paper with you when you go out to collect food.
He was practicing painting some small broken petals. Unlike Gu Tongxiang who went to the park to paint, he also had to consider selling paintings while shouting.
So he cut all the rice paper into one-foot-square rectangular pieces at home last night.
Gu Weijing pressed the paper on the table and looked around.
"I will definitely be able to draw something out today." He said to himself.
The botanical garden they are in was originally called the Royal Botanic Gardens and covers an area of 177 hectares.
Although the name contains the word "royal", it has nothing to do with the Gongbang Dynasty in the feudal era. It refers to King Edward VII's "leisure garden" in the Far East and the place where the sun never sets. The former summer estate of imperial governors and senior civil servants.
In terms of architectural design, it is even a sister garden to the famous Royal Botanic Gardens in the western suburbs of London, an authentic British garden with pure blood.
Most of the gardens built by John Bulls were the same.
British people have an eternal love for all kinds of fountains and colorful flower beds in their genes.
Everyone has seen one.
After that, whether you walk into the garden outside the retired senator’s small mansion or into the botanical garden in a foreign country thousands of miles away, you will always feel a sense of déjà vu.
Membrane flowerbeds, English-style promenades, central fountains, and at best lakes and Gothic revival-style sculptures.
These elements are arranged and combined with each other.
It can almost summarize 99% of the design elements.
Gu Weijing and his party set up an inflatable tent next to a broken fountain sculpture of a forest fairy with a head missing on the lawn by the lake.
The bodyguards used folding buckets to collect local materials and brought them from the lake.A bucket of lake water.
Gu Weijing wetted the brush in water, mixed the cyanine and rouge, and slowly traced the idea in his mind with the center on the paper, pointing out the flower roots from bottom to top.
For certain formulas of white powder or ocher-like colors, in order to have better dissolution and paper adhesion, an appropriate amount of alum needs to be added when dipping the paint.
Anthocyanins and traditional rouge are water-soluble pigments purified from plant rhizomes and freshly squeezed leaves of red and blue flowers.
Use this living water to draw.
First use paint to point out the most gorgeous petals. After the color of the pen tip changes from thick to light, then trace the buds that are about to bloom. Then switch to a small sized line pen to trace the veins and leaves. Flower roots.
When drawing leaf veins.
Keep in mind the formula taught by Professor Lin Tao, "The center is bright green, and the pen has a three-point arc", so that the finished leaf veins can be green and strong, showing that the petals are growing on the branches and swaying in the wind. Feel.
Finally, switch to a small pen, mix the medium ink with rouge, and highlight the calyx.
After such a complete step-by-step process, a string of wisteria flowers is officially completed.
Time passed by minute by second
Little purple flowers gradually covered the page in front of Gu Weijing.
"Sand."
Gu Weijing wiped the moisture on his forehead slightly exposed to the sun with his sleeve.
The name of the work is Wisteria
Chinese Painting Techniques v4 Professional Level 1 49025000
A work of simple emotions
He shook his head slightly disappointedly. No matter how failed the painting is, the technique of wisteria flowers is not complicated. With the guidance of the famous teacher Professor Lin Tao, it is not difficult to master the key points.
But the biggest difference between paintings and photography is.
The works taken by the camera must be similar.
The painting must not only resemble the image, but must also contain the emotions given by the artist himself, so that it can be vividly displayed on paper.
The most dazzling part of Tang Ning’s painting of hundreds of flowers is that there are thirty-six kinds of flowers blooming on one tree, showing thirty-six different flower languages and thirty-six different styles. .
There is a reason for people to be proud.
This hand is full of charm and beauty.
It is indeed much more difficult than using thousands of gradient color dots to arrange them carefully on the page to create a dazzling rose. This superficial painting method is much more difficult.
He even copied the original painting.
What Gu Weijing copied was only the surface, not the soul.
Ms. Tang Ning’s ability to put the finishing touch on traditional Chinese painting scenes and her ability to freely control them is not at all easier than her ability to reach the first level of a master’s painting at the age of twenty.
This is the biggest difficulty Gu Weijing faces.
If your understanding of wisteria flowers only remains on the surface level of these simple works in front of you, you will not be able to deeply grasp the subtle details.Wonderful emotional state.
He has painted countless wisteria flowers of this level since April.
Up to now, he may have to string a dozen or so small flowers like this before he can see the Chinese painting progress bar on the system panel, and he reluctantly jumps up a little.
Whether you want to copy Tangning's Hundred Flowers Picture or use it to break through to the second level of the profession, it's not enough.
When he was reading Tianyu Liufang, there was a moment when he felt that he had found the feeling.
When Gu Weijing concentrated on recalling that state, he fell into a deeper confusion.
In the artistic conception of orthodox Chinese painting, wisteria flowers represent the wealth and nobility that comes from the east.
In Li Bai's wisteria tree, "wisteria hangs cloud trees, and the flower vines are suitable for spring", which reveals the bustling atmosphere of spring mountain flowers everywhere.
In the rainy day, the chosen painting method of "throwing wild vines randomly" reveals the desolation of the pearl covered with dust.
As for Ms. Tang Ning’s Hundred Flowers Picture, the small purple flowers dotted between the peonies and plum blossoms are like a few drops of fresh and distant purple mist among the blooming flowers, which is hard to fathom.
At this moment, Gu Weijing felt like he was standing at the intersection of a cross street shrouded in fog. Every road in all directions seemed to lead to the distance, and at the end of every road, there was also a... The rope stretched over his body.
Any of these solutions seems to be reasonable.
When he steps towards a certain road, he seems to be pulled against each other by inexplicable resistance, and various artistic conceptions are entangled together.
Gu Weijing discovered it.
On the contrary, he was a little confused as to what kind of floral artistic conception he should paint.
That’s why.
I just had the idea to come to the botanical garden, stand under the real flower trees, and experience what it feels like when the vines and flowers fall from my shoulders like purple water.
After arriving, I discovered that the environment here is really good for painting and collecting.
The botanical garden in spring is its most beautiful season, with colorful flowers in full bloom.
There are not many pedestrians.
The hot season in Myanmar has not completely passed, and there are only a few scattered international tourists.
The locals are busy making a living. There is a dense virgin jungle outside Yangon. Most residents have no interest in taking a train to come here just to see the plants.
In addition to the sound of the wind and the undulation of the water seeping into the gaps between the round marble embankments on the shore, there is the sound of slowly flowing out.
Gu Weijing and Sakai Katsuko seemed to have entered a small peaceful circle around them.
The female bodyguard and Uncle Alai used charcoal and solid alcohol to light a portable barbecue tray more than ten meters away.
The two young men were painting and did not seem to want to eat barbecue.
ThemHe didn't bother Gu Weijing. He just had a ride there and didn't know what to talk about.
Ever since the brief conversation that day, the bodyguard lady was both curious and respectful towards the lame man, and the two of them got along quite well.
Jasmine chased Awang for a few laps on the lawn, and then chased Awang until he gave up resistance completely.
April is the season for cats to have hair.
Civet cats are not long-haired cats like Persian cats that live in high latitudes like a big ball of wool, but Awang's hair is also very beautiful.
She always felt that she was very stylish, with her ginger-spotted hair like a little tiger and the fat gained from eating cat food this month, making her become a burden in the bright sunshine. .
As soon as I moved, I was exposed to the high temperature and my body temperature was a little high. The soles of my feet were wet with sweat and I was listless.
Awang found a place to lie down in the shade of a tree, then he chose to lie down and handed all the ten kilograms of his soft meat to Jasmine to flatten and round.
Do you want to play with me? I want a cat.
You can masturbate as much as you like, I want to sleep anyway.
In general.
This is a good place where people can calm down and engage in artistic creation without any external interference.
The only problem is that Katsuko Sakai’s appearance is quite eye-catching. Sometimes when she walks on the streets of Yangon, she will be asked to take a photo with her by eager foreign tourists.
But now Gu Weijing and Sakai Katsuko look like a couple or brother and sister from a distance.
Basically no one would come over to strike up a conversation out of trouble.
In the morning, there were only a few bolder and more promiscuous Italian backpackers who came over to ask if I could be lucky enough to invite them to drink beer and listen to music.
The main thing is to invite Sakai Katsuko, and Gu Weijing is just an accessory.
Before they managed to get close, they were intercepted by the bodyguard lady in advance and politely declined.
However.
With such a beautiful view, Gu Weijing was still a little disturbed and was in a troubled mood.
The most important question is.
Tweed
Damn it, where did the two wisteria trees on the travel guide go?
That’s right.
Contrary to expectations, when they first arrived at the botanical garden, they learned some not-so-good news.
The flowering period of wisteria in Eastern Summer is from late April to early May every year.
The climate in Yangon is humid and warmer than that in eastern summer, and the flowering time will be a few weeks earlier. At this time, it is the time to appreciate the wisteria flowers.
The only drawback is that.
Wisteria is a very cheap common flower that grows in Asia. It grows in abundance in Jiangnan in Eastern Xia, Seoul in South Korea, and Nara in Japan.
But in Yangon, it is not a common plant.
Gu's bookIt is difficult to find this small purple floral flower in the neighborhoods around the gallery and in several city parks in Yangon.
Fortunately, Katsuko Sakai specifically consulted the botanical illustrations and found that when the Royal Botanic Gardens were built, the British wanted to make the king's Far East Garden a botanical expo in order to show off the atmosphere of an empire where the sun never sets. An all-encompassing plant appreciation garden.
They specially invited naturalists from the Royal Society to transplant hundreds of common plants in Asia, including more than 20 species of roses alone.
This was the social atmosphere at that time.
The British wanted to claim dominion not only over the inhabitants of the five continents but over all kinds of animals and plants.
In addition to similar botanical museums, there are also ethnozoological zoos that are more full of racial prejudice. It is also a product of that era to lock up residents of different skin colors in five continents, mainly Asia and Africa, in zoos and let people visit them like monkeys for a fee.
This is a blessing in disguise.
The British collecting habit at least two hundred years ago helped Gu Weijing. The official plant list of the Royal Botanic Garden in Yangon includes Contains wisteria flowers.
They came over excitedly by train and walked around in a big circle, but they didn’t see the shadow of the wisteria tree at all.
Uncle Alai only found out after asking the cultivation researchers in the park.
In 2019, the Botanical Garden was renovated and a circular waterway was built based on the central water system to facilitate boating competitions during the Water Splashing Festival and attract international tourists.
Two large wisteria trees were cut down when building the cruise pier, and they arrived three years late.
"What the hell, what's this?"
Gu Weichen crumpled the small rice paper on the table into a ball with his hands and threw it aside. on the lawn.
Before lunch time, Gu Weijing accumulated five or six paper balls filled with failed wisteria flowers and leaves at his feet.
It was as if God was against him.
It was the same thing at the station in the morning, the video on the train station was the same, and it was still the same in the botanical garden.
Everything doesn’t go his way.
If he had known that there were no more wisteria trees in the botanical garden, he would not have come here in the hot weather
Gu Weijing was vaguely aware that his current mentality was not good. Too much energy.
In fact, it is not a big deal to encounter this kind of problem when you go out to collect pictures. The model invited in the studio is not dedicated and moves around, or you have designed it in your mind to paint ancient Greece. The graceful and smooth lines like Ares, the God of War, exaggerated and explosive muscle texture. As a result, the model brought in by the studio teacher was a skinny little old man. Let me tell you, it all looks the same.
Such troublesome things happen all the time.
There are more uncertainties when going out to collect information.
There are no wisteria trees, lookLooking at this beautiful botanical garden is a good way to learn about painting. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
