The moment Miao Aung Win said angrily in front of the publicity board that I can't do it.
He definitely could not have expected it.
Coincidentally, at the other end of the school, in the British-style teaching building covered with green vines, there was another person holding Gu Weijing's sketch, with a dull look on his face. puppet.
If he knew that even Mr. Wattel, who taught him sketching, was now muttering to himself in a life of doubt.
Maybe he will feel comforted.
Perhaps Miao Anwen will completely feel cold despair and giving up on pursuing Gu Weijing in painting techniques.
Be reasonable.
After twenty or thirty years of tireless exploration and practice in sketching, I was easily stepped on by high school students less than half my age.
Use common sense to judge.
Teacher Watter should feel as angry as Miao Aung Win, or at least a little bit unconcealed dejection and frustration.
But.
At this moment.
The German teacher was not angry at all, nor did he even feel too depressed.
It has been a while since he had this sketch in his hands. When it was time to be agitated, he had already been agitated.
After experiencing
"Fuck me, this is the level a high school student should have, so outrageous" and "Fuck me, why can't I draw it? Such a work. I'm so envious" and finally "Fuck it, this painting is really great, forget it, I must keep it" and so on after a series of complex and subtle psychological changes.
Now he just wants to quietly appreciate the indescribable ingenuity between the lines of the water covered bridge in his hand.
He just held the watercolor paper in his hand and sat on the chair for a long time.
Until the wind seeped out from the gap in the window of the teacher's office, it slid over Professor Vatel's leather jacket that was rolled up high on his sleeves, causing him to stretch out a finger and scratch it a few times. itch.
The warm spring breeze should have been quite gentle to the touch.
A small layer of goosebumps appeared on the sketch professor's exposed skin.
He scratched the itch twice, took the unfinished Heineken, pinched the watercolor paper in his hand, looked at it a few times and took a sip of the beer, then looked at it a few more times, and then took a sip. .
Appreciate the exquisiteness and ingenuity.
The tongue in his mouth couldn't help but lick between the professor's upper teeth, making a squeaking sound.
"This is more exciting than watching a football match."
Vettel sighed slowly.
He lost this competition with students.
If you look at it from the perspective of a paper judge, one stroke at a time, the stability of each structure, the smoothness of each line, the turning and shaping of each pen tip, all are listed one by one. If the item is scored.
Vettel’s loss may not be too much.
Every item is slightly inferior.
At the very least, Gu Weijing’s line drawing works cannot be said to be worthless based on these separated details.
But when all the "missing three points" are gathered into one painting.
As a result,
it became a matter of clouds and mud crushing each other.
In front of this exquisite sketch in his hand, Vatel was convinced to admit defeat.
Gu Weijing and his sketching techniques are indeed no longer in the same league.
"It's funny, I was thinking confidently that today's pencil draft is going well."
Walter put the empty beer can aside , touched his hair, and laughed dumbly.
Half an hour ago.
He bent over his desk on watercolor paper and confidently sketched out the final touches of the neat white buildings surrounding the Greek-style hall of the Imperial Museum between the waves of the Berlin Museum Island.
When completing this water covered bridge.
Teacher Wattle glanced at the alarm clock at hand.
6 minutes and 57 seconds.
The painting speed was slightly slower than he expected.
The goal of completing the task within 6 minutes was not achieved, and it was slightly exceeded by one minute.
"It doesn't matter, it's slow, but it's worth the slowness."
He stood up and walked towards the studio in the back room, giving his thoughts on the painting process in his heart. A fair summary of the evaluation.
It is meaningless to talk about speed without accuracy.
It’s slower than I imagined, and it’s better than I imagined.
Every stroke he makes is very smooth and precise. All his professional accumulation and practice experience in the art of sketching are all on this 8-karat watercolor paper in his hand. Showed it.
It’s not a super god.
He has also used 98% of his extraordinary skills.
“126 lines.”
Vettel even silently recorded the total number of lines he drew.
A total of just over 130 strokes were used in the drawing process.
He was not satisfied with the effect of only a few strokes and made some deletions.
More than 130 strokes and 126 lines.
For the still life theme of the painting he chose, the regular but not simple water corridor bridge can be compressed to such a number of brushstrokes and control such a degree of accuracy.
It’s not that Wang Po sells melons and boasts about herself.
Professor Wattle believes that his sketching techniques can really be called "sophisticated".
The number of lines in the sketch manuscript, given the overall look and feel of the work, is more streamlined, compressed, and capable, indicating that the artist’s level is more in line with the soul of the sketch, and the more capable he is in capturing it. The most beautiful sceneryThe matter of the few lines used to express the spirit has always been controversial in academic circles.
To put it bluntly.
Currently, it is believed that it is meaningful to talk about the number of lines only in an artistic environment like the Dulwich School where European-style sketching is taught.
It is impossible to say which one is better than the other one, Su style sketch and European sketch, but their characteristics are very distinct.
The Soviet Union’s aesthetic system and overall aesthetic approach were inherited from a unique context that is different from Western society.
History.
The culture and art of the entire Russian feudal era were deeply infected and influenced by the gorgeous French fashion. Apart from Andrei Lublev, the only medieval icon painter, and the equally unique medieval tome.
The most brilliant and dazzling art, literature and poetry in the entire history of Russia, which shocked the world, were all born in a short period of one and a half centuries accompanied by drastic social changes. of.
1811.
France declares war on Tsarist Russia.
This is the most legendary moment of the French Empire in history.
Under the leadership of Napoleon, the traditional European powers Austria, Prussia, and the United Kingdom were defeated by him one after another. France dominated the European continent by occupying all of Italy and northern Spain.
At the beginning of the year, Napoleon's queen gave birth to the crown prince in the Tuileries Palace. The city of Paris was lit up and a hundred salutes were fired continuously. Napoleon personally gave him the title "roidero", which means "this boy will rule the world like the king of ancient Rome."
In a daze.
It seems that the once huge and diverse empire like Rome will reappear throughout Europe in a thousand years.
Who else can stop the power of this invincible God of War
After experiencing five consecutive defeats, European countries hastily formed the sixth anti-French alliance.
No one could have expected it.
After paying the price of burning the city of Moscow in flames, Tsarist Russia almost single-handedly destroyed Napoleon’s half-million expeditionary army by relying on the endless cold winds of winter on the Siberian snowfields. , and the ambition and dream to rebuild Rome.
This is a battle for the founding of the Russian people based on their spiritual culture.
From that day on.
They discovered that they, these uneducated barbarians from the snowy plains, could also overthrow the French, who represented the brightest light of civilization.
Then why do they still need to learn Western European art and culture and be proud of being able to speak French
Why can't they have their own unique aesthetic theory and cultural appreciation
The next century and a half.
The Slavs took European traditional art as their roots and bloomed their own unique flowers in the cold wind of Siberia.
The Soviet style of painting is thick andRigorous and solemn to the point of melancholy.
It seems that it has melted the never-melting snow on the outskirts of Moscow in winter and the 40-ton Bronze Horseman statue on Twelve Party Square in St. Petersburg into its own pen and ink.
The Russian system of sketching has absolute rationality and absolute rigor that the sketching education in all other countries does not have.
There is an inappropriate statement.
The same portrait sketch.
Is it possible for ordinary people to see the paintings by Soviet painters at a glance? The paintings drawn by Soviet painters are thicker and grayer because the number of pencil lines they use is over 50 more than that of European sketch painters. They focus on using thick brushwork and precise shapes to shape objects.
In order to seriously analyze the painting object, from the inside to the outside, the strokes are like the corners of the dense knitted silk clothes of a cold-proof cotton coat.
Drawing through densely.
Rather than comparing the brushstrokes of the Soviet sketches to the corners of a military coat on the snowy field, it is better to say that they have the balance and stability of the classicism of the Seven Sisters Building on the streets of Moscow. , the patterns are as complex as a Baroque palace, and they follow the architectural concepts of absolute symmetry and absolute balance, which are precisely derived from the traditional Russian aesthetic taste.
Focus on the Seven Sisters of Moscow, seven Moscow landmark buildings represented by the main building of the National University. Their solemn and heavy reinforced concrete structures are representative products of Soviet-style architectural aesthetics.
Blizzards, wars, earthquakes, no matter what kind of turmoil or suffering, can never destroy the natural coordination and supreme balance in works of art.
European style sketches are the opposite.
It is the light spring water under the Alps, it is the floating notes on the violin strings in the Vienna Park, it is the exposed low-cut skirt of the lady in the ball and salon of the Palace of Versailles. The subtle arc of the snow-white collarbone.
Be lighter, more elegant, more erratic.
The elusive artistry of painting has a far higher priority than the so-called balance.
Or to put it more bluntly.
In the European drawing theory system, the highest priority is actually not drawing at all, but oil painting and watercolor.
Drawing serves oil painting, and sketching serves watercolor.
Practicing the lines of sketching is to produce more accurate and expressive outline drafts when painting oil paintings and watercolors. Practicing black and white shading is to master the contrast of pigment colors when painting oil paintings.
Therefore, how to use the fewest and most capable lines to depict the most subtle and expressive outline of the scenery has become an important criterion for judging the level of a sketch artist.
Whether it is the art system of Western Europe or the Soviet Union, they have advantages that the other cannot match, and they also have their own limitations. It mainly depends on the technical level of the artist who puts down the pen.
Russian sketch masters also have very vivid and vivid lines.
German masters like MenzelKnown for its scalpel-like structural rigor.
All roads lead to Rome.
The line techniques of outstanding masters cannot be divided into schools. They can use their own talents to transcend the limitations of their own regions.
If you want to be complicated, be complicated; if you want to be simple, be simple.
However.
To let the style of the brush in your hand move according to your heart, the requirements are still too high for a professional painter at the level of Vattel or Gu Weijing.
The European sketch route they followed is still at the primary stage of subtracting their works.
"Under the most ideal situation. There are a few transitions that can be processed again, and the arched structure at the top can also be pulled out in one stroke."
Vettel is expected to use his Styling ability.
When it is flawless, the total number of hook lines can be reduced to about 120, and errors and modifications can be controlled to less than three.
But this is just an imaginary situation.
It is already a very ideal state for a painter to be able to exert 98% of his 100% success.
Even if you are an exam-oriented player, it is impossible for you to accidentally hit the extraordinary performance that only happens once in a hundred times during major exams and competitions.
As long as you can perform more than 90% stably, there is nothing to be dissatisfied with.
Walter is like this.
The same is true for Gu Weijing in the studio.
He typed the manuscript for Museum Island many times, and many of the lines should be as smooth as if they were memorized in his mind.
But in fact, although he had never counted carefully before, there were not many times that could be compressed into 130 strokes.
There are several deals this time.
He felt it was extremely expressive.
When a painter completes a work that satisfies him, the clearest feeling in his heart is not overflowing with self-satisfaction, but a sense of relief and contentment.
When Professor Wattel walked into the studio.
He has the kind of solemn joy that he feels when he completes a bloody breakthrough on the football field, panting slightly, watching the football roll into the net.
As expected.
Gu Weijing still hasn’t had time to finish the entire work, and is still drawing something on the tilted watercolor board with a pencil.
For a moment.
Professor Vatel feels that he has won this contest.
"It shouldn't be such a difficult connection if I haven't finished painting the covered bridge over the water. I've already finished the same draft." He endured it again and again, but finally couldn't help but want to show off. impulse.
"Almost, teacher, it's almost done. The structure here is a bit complicated for me, and I need to finish it off a little." Gu Weijing said without raising his head.
"Well, it doesn't matter. Just because it's easy for me, doesn't mean it's easy for you too. There's still time, don't worry, just paint well."
Professor Vatel put his hands behind his back,He walked a few steps towards the workbench, wanting to see how much slower Gu Weijing's drawing progress was than himself.
Three seconds later.
The incomprehensible and proud smile on his face was brutally killed the moment he saw the other person's sketch on watercolor paper. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
