"Breath, use the breath to control the rhythm of using the pen. This is a boy's skill. I have practiced it since I was a child. If you want to control the use of the pen, you can try to copy the calligraphy stickers of Zhao Mengfu or Yan Zhenqing. My grandfather asked me to practice it since I was a child. More."
Gu Weijing shrugged and revealed his secret to controlling the brush.
"
eathe breathing"
Walter raised his eyebrows, looking a little confused.
This time.
He stared at the elegant regular script on the paper for a long time, when he finally turned his head again and laid his eyes on Gu Weijing.
I seem to understand.
I don’t seem to understand.
That look was quite like the time when I walked into a massage parlor by the Yangon River for the first time and saw an old acupuncturist who used a set of silver needles to prick the patient's back.
Half are marveling at the witchcraft of the East.
Half of them wanted to call the police.
But at the end of the day.
The sketching professor was still more amazed.
Artists are a group of amazing people.
There are yoga masters who must practice Pilates before painting; there are old laymen like Boggs who signed up for the Eastern Xia tour group, indulged in Zen, and have since converted to my Buddha; and there is Mrs. Sakai Such a female artist who loves the idea of mindfulness.
Anyway, in the final analysis.
It is a kind of tempering of the state of mind and the control of the stability of muscle painting.
Vettel regarded this as some kind of mysterious traditional Kung Fu, full of unknown and powerful meaning, and marveled at it.
Don’t look at the efficacy but the efficacy.
Judging from the results, the smoothness and stability of the pen in front of you cannot be faked.
Sketch and outline.
Vettel could secretly take a pencil and learn to imitate it, but the Chinese rose flower and the smoothness of the three words "Gu Weijing" were like magic in front of his eyes.
He knew that even if he took a chicken-slip pen and copied it, he would not be able to copy it.
"Well, I also think that round-headed watercolor brushes are more difficult to control than flat-headed basic brushes. I didn't expect you to have this skill."
Watter said He clapped his thumbs and sighed again.
After I figured out that it was not me who taught the law.
His mood was indescribably complicated.
It's quite like digging out a 5 million double-colored ball lottery ticket in the washing machine that has expired before the redemption date, and finally discovering that one number is wrong. It turns out that there is no such mixed feeling of winning.
At least.
He himself does not need to feel so sorry for missing the great professor of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts that he just imagined in his mind.
"I'm free every Wednesday and Friday afternoon." Wattel thought about his recent schedule.
"It's up to you. If you have time, you can come to me and draw.I can give you a little lesson. The difficulty with watercolor is that it is more delicate than oil painting. You have such good soft brush skills. It should take us less than a month to go through all the common painting methods we can encounter in the field of watercolor. "
Watter rubbed his hands and suggested.
Even if Gu Weijing's hand can control the watercolor brush, he can't practice it.
But he When teaching the other person to draw watercolors, it’s not bad to continue to secretly ponder his sketch lines.
“Well, thank you for your trouble. ”
Gu Weijing thought about it for a moment.
The teacher took the initiative to take time to teach him, and there was no reason for him not to agree.
The paintings and detectives in his art exhibition Mao's commissioned works are on track, and it's time to take the time to learn watercolor and add a common technique.
He can no longer learn much about techniques in the large classes at Dulwich College. There are many things.
Free one-on-one guidance is still very useful.
The level of the system's master skills is really high.
It's a mountain covered by clouds with no end in sight.
There are some practical and simple painting principles.
On the contrary, Professor Wattel gave me some advice. Faster.
The system will use specialized knowledge cards as one of the rewards, because experiential painting skills cannot completely replace knowledge learning.
It is the simplest. Gu Weijing has gained a lot from the flat painting method today.
It should not take more than a month until he has systematically sorted out all the watercolor techniques.
It’s time to officially break through to the first level of the profession.
“After you go back. Try to continue using the same color of gray and white paint on top of the already painted color, and paint a layer of color on the bridge deck pillars. After it dries, finally use the same color to paint some mottled masonry to intensify the color. ”
“Observe the color effect of gradually deepening and darkening as the paint continues to cover the overlapping colors. ”
“You mentioned before that you felt difficulties when covering the dyeing. The so-called covering dyeing is the continuous superposition of the flat coating method. ”
“The same paint is repeatedly superimposed on the paper to present four color levels from light to heavy, from oily and smooth to mottled and dark. This is a realm that oil painting cannot achieve. ”
“Once you master the colors, the difficulties will no longer exist. "
Even when Professor Wattel was assigning homework, he did not forget to secretly step on the oil painter. "By the way, there is another point that is different from oil painting. The quality of the watercolor paint you use cannot be bad. . Are you using student-grade paint?"
"You bought it according to the consumables list sent to us by the school at the beginning of each semester. "Gu Weijing nodded.
"Changed. Replace it with something more expensive. The brand doesn’t matter, Schminck, Faber-Castell, Winsor & Newton, Holbein are all fine, but you have to buy professional grade, orThose who are above the master level cannot save this money. "The sketching professor reminded.
"I still have two boxes of unopened watercolors here. You can take them back if you need them. ”
It is quite expensive for art students to study.
For example, the most common solid watercolors of Shi Mingke and ordinary watercolor paints used by students only cost a few dollars per box.
p>
A small box of master-level paints basically costs more than 100 dollars, which is more than the entire monthly income of ordinary families around Yangon.
Wattl remembers Gu Weijing’s family. The situation is average, so I kindly remind you.
"It doesn't matter. I have it at home. Is it so important to practice paint?"
Gu Weijing shook his head politely and rejected the teacher's kindness.
p>
It's past the time when he needs to care about the cost of paint.
Frankly speaking, from a financial point of view
It's just their virtue that doesn't matter to them. There is probably no richer student in the history of Wei’s Yangon branch.
“Important, very important. ”
“The main difference in oil paint is how fast it dries. Different grades of watercolor pigments have completely different formulas. Amateur grade paints will contain fillers and organic pigments, which will reduce the vividness of the colors. This will not be a big problem when you are basically familiar with the brushwork, but it is not necessary for serious creation. ”
“More importantly, it will affect the creator’s control over the paint when mixing colors. "
" Repeated overlapping of two colors in professional-grade watercolors may turn into a deep dark yellow, giving people a feeling of high temperature. However, in student-grade or children's watercolor sets, two colors with the same name When the pigments mix, they may turn into brownish red. When practicing watercolor, you can’t skimp on consumables. ”
Vettel touched his chin.
“I’ll give you a piece of advice. To a painter, paint and brush are like a hockey player and his bat, and a tennis player and His racket. You should keep an eye on your own stuff at all times, and don’t give others a chance to make a fuss. ”
“Even when I was in school, there were many rumors that some people were jealous and secretly replaced the solid watercolors in their classmates’ sketch boxes before the summer art exam”
He casually lamented the dark rumors he had heard when he was a student, then opened a small drawer next to the workbench, took out a dozen colorful cardboards, stapled together, and handed them to Gu Weijing.
"By the way, I'll give this to you too. ”
“This is a color brightness chart. Each color on the cardboard is divided into eight stages from light to dark. For example, take gray and white as an example. 8 is the darkest, representing a deep iron gray, and the color palette numbered 1 is the brightest, almost pure white. ”
“The watercolor color you just mixed to paint on the covered bridge. The brightness is around 2 on the scale. ”
“When you go back to practice, try to slowly add water to each paint, from light to dark, and try toAll eight levels of brightness are adjusted with clear boundaries, and the brightness and gloss are strived to be equivalent to those of these cards. ”
“When you keep these cards in mind, you will know exactly what paint you want every time before you pick up the pen. "
Vatel chuckled twice and said, "Gu, do you know what is the biggest advantage of grasping the brightness of paint accurately?"
"Insight into color The power is sharper"
Gu Weijing thought for a moment.
"Wrong, it is easy to make money. "
The sketching professor blinked mysteriously at the student in front of him.
"Uh, you are talking about monochrome watercolor painting." Gu Weijing probably guessed that Mr. Watter was What does it mean?
The classification of watercolor painting is not as complicated as oil painting.
Art masters such as Picasso and Dali also created some watercolor works occasionally in their lives.
p>
But overall, in the category of specialized watercolor painters, there are few paintings that are too abstract.
From the moment this technique was born, it has always been pursuing the highest level of realism. .
Just like Impressionism, it is divided into Pre-Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, and the so-called Neo-Impressionism.
Realism is also the most popular in different periods. There are also differences between hot and cold styles of realism pursued by painters.
The most powerful representatives of watercolor style before the 19th century were definitely Turner and Redout, academics influenced by Romanticism. Painters are the representatives.
After the end of World War I, the focus of the Western art market began to shift from the traditional European continent to North America.
Those who were sought after by the market. Watercolor painters became neorealist style painters influenced by the Hudson River Landscape School, represented by Andrew Wyeth, Frank Weber, etc.
Their creations directly influenced "photo realism." "This kind of restoration of the scenery described in watercolor is the birth of the watercolor style that reaches the point of being picky.
The United States is also hailed as the new watercolor kingdom by the art world.
The changing king's flag on the city wall .
In the past fifty years, the artistic style of watercolor has begun to shift from Europe and America to Asia.
Just like many pioneer photographers now give up the advanced SLR. I gave up color photography and started playing with antique large-format cameras, daguerreotype cameras, and black-and-white cameras.
The development of watercolor also feels a bit retro.
In terms of "realism". After this matter has been developed to the extreme by painters, artists began to make a fuss about paint.
They no longer pursue bright picture effects. Many galleries and curators like to get some monochromatic colors.
This is also a "success formula" for ordinary small painters to make money easily and become famous.
< p>"This skillWith great practice, a kind of paint can be transformed into various colors in the artist's mind. For example, there are some of the most popular painters in the watercolor market. Whether it is naoitydean, the 2013 Turner Prize winner who paints black and white landscapes, or several Asian urban watercolor painters who were influenced by the Dansaekhwa School of Korea. They all have a good grasp of the brightness of paint. "Walter nodded and said with a bit of regret.
"If I could go through my student days again, I might work harder than painting techniques. Developing my ability to control paint colors and making my own unique paintings may be my best opportunity to sign up for a good gallery that year. ”
“Playing with paint and playing with techniques may be the same thing at heart. But maybe the latter requires too much talent, and I may not have such talent. "
"Gu, you are the most amazing student I have ever taught. Maybe only people like you are born to paint. I hope you can go further than me. "
Gu Weijing heard the literary sadness in the sketch teacher's tone.
In that kind of sadness, there was a regret that could not be hidden. It was like being with a girl when I was in school. The beautiful rich daughter passed by in front of the studio porch. You smiled at her, and she smiled at you, but you knew in your heart that you were destined to miss her.
Gu Weijing followed it. Teacher Vatel looked towards the wall, where there were three dark wooden picture frames hanging. It wasn't about the blond Germanic girl, the regret in Professor Vatter's heart, or the white moonlight.
Standard landscape painting
At noon
When he just walked into the suite in this office, he noticed the painting on the wall. Hanging paintings.
It is difficult not to notice such eye-catching works.
It is different from the watercolor and sketch works hanging in the office outside. All the large and small photo frames are watercolor paintings on the same theme.
The content is the photo of Berlin Museum Island that I visited on the workbench.
Each one. This theme is repeated all over the picture frame. What makes Gu Weijing strange the most is that compared to other large and small Museum Island landscape paintings, Professor Vatel takes it the most seriously. There are only three paintings hanging on the wall facing the workbench.
The paint in these three paintings seems to have faded and is too light.
p>
No,
Looking at the details of the overpainting of the scenery, it should be said that these three paintings are actually not finished.
For some unknown reason, the last few layers are missing. The detailed carvings were put into the picture frame by Vattel.
“I would like to ask, sir, are these three works not completed yet?”
“Yes, they are. Yes, this is a ticket to the palace of artists. Unfortunately, I have spent ten years and still have not been able toHe walked to the shining golden door. "Please remember to bookmark, the latest and fastest website without anti-theft and free reading
