Gu Weijing still did not raise his head, sitting quietly at the workbench and continuing to complete the painting.
The breakthrough from semi-professional to first-level professional is mostly a silent process.
It’s not like taking a panacea, suddenly having an explosion of seeds, and achieving great success.
If there is no system prompt.
Gu Weijing probably needs one or two paintings to experience carefully before he can feel the essential progress of his painting techniques.
But now.
He actually figured out some flavors.
Gu Weijing has more than one skill as a professional painter. This is not the first time that a certain painting technique has reached v4, but there are still some mysterious and special features that can be carefully studied.
The sea of clouds is long and the breeze is frivolous.
The traces drawn by the fingertips began to become smoother and smoother because the old muscle memory was broken, and new muscle memory was formed.
This feeling is different from entering the second level of the profession.
It is different from drawing with a knife or activating the sketching skill. You can draw whatever strokes you want, and strolling in the courtyard without any deviation.
The process of painting cannot be said to be light and easy.
Gu Weijing still needs to be serious and focused to express the structure of the clouds well.
But just look at the finished lines.
It never feels too heavy, artificial, or laborious.
You can even add some personal references to the creation of clouds.
Behind the watercolor paintings, he began to have personal emotions and styles, instead of just mechanically waving his right hand according to the painting guide in the textbook.
The key to a career is the development of muscle memory.
From this moment on, watercolor techniques have become part of Gu Weijing’s personal life and professional work.
He completed another cloud at hand.
This time.
He intentionally made the bottom edge of the clouds as irregular and interesting as possible, naturally extending beyond the boundaries of the painting.
It does not appear to be a solid cloud but is being buffeted by a gust of wind.
Water vapor and fog are changing with the wind, and Gu Weijing injected this sense of movement into the paintings.
"The realism and variability are good. This should be the most satisfying cloud I have painted today."
Gu Weijing studied it carefully for half a minute.
I was satisfied with the blooming effect, so I put the brush aside and leaned against it on the palette, reopening the system panel with a hint of expectation.
As expected, just as he thought.
Except that the watercolor technique level on the system bar has been changed to professional level one.
What Gu Weijing thought about deeply is that "this skill can be combined with "Menzel's basic painting experience has been equipped" to obtain limited water."Color Skills Real World"
has also changed from unusable gray to usable orange.
Gu Weijing selected this line of prompts.
Do you want to confirm the equipment-limited skills in the real world? Tip, because the level is higher, this skill will overwrite the skills you currently have. Adolf von Menzel's basic experience in painting
Gu Weijing's choice Confirmation.
In an instant, the display on the system panel changed.
The novice reward he received, the introduction and tips of Menzel’s painting techniques all changed. Change.

"In the real world, you will have mastered the basic skills of Menzel's painting. Now you will understand the sentence on the panel. Adolf von Menzel's sketching and watercolor painting techniques are extremely proficient. This description seems to have been fully upgraded."
Gu Weijing carefully studied the instructions on the panel.
Just look at it For no reason, you have to try it yourself to know the effectiveness of the skill.
He no longer hesitated.
Professor Vatel was still teaching the students. This is a quiet place for painting without being disturbed.
Gu Weijing took a gentle breath and directly activated countless pieces of information in his mind. His mind was surging.
It was as if dust from history had traveled through time and space. It penetrated from Gu Weijing's skin like a handful of ice mist, and felt a cool sensation running through his body. It echoed Bach's solemn, deep and grand symphony with clever jingling ornaments.
It was not the ice mist that moistened the body like an electric shock, but the cold wind blowing through the Berlin City Palace in winter.
The tinkling sound does not sound like the keys of a piano, but the sonorous sound of German music.syllables.
Gu Weijing knew nothing about German, but he still seemed to understand the mixed sounds.
"Menzel, our family will move to Berlin next year. Your father is expected to open a lithography factory with Mr. Fisher. You go to study art and work for the family in the future."< /p>
"Menzel, there is a wealthy gentleman who wants you to illustrate Goethe's poetry collection and paid 30 marks as an advance. Can you complete this task?"
"It's so outstanding. This child's works are full of the talent God has given him. He is a real genius. The Berlin Academy of Fine Arts will admit him to the Academy of Fine Arts under special circumstances. Let him come to school with us without paying a copper plate."
"The complete biography of Frederick the Great will require hundreds of exquisite paintings depicting court life. Knight, I have won this task for you"
"I want to go to the factory, where The flowing molten iron and the splashing sparks made me feel the powerful vitality."
""
The prompt on the skill introduction on the system panel says, after activating the skill, can you. Feel the rhythm of the soul of the senior in you
Gu Weijing really felt it.
Just for a moment.
It seems like a thousand years have passed again.
Those hallucinatory sighs that echoed through history faded from his ears, and Gu Weijing blinked.
He subconsciously looked at the work at hand again.
The clouds that made him so complacent just now have become rough and unsightly in an instant.
Just like a candidate who tried his best, scrawled, corrected, racked his brains, and sweated profusely, he got 600 points in the exam paper.
He may feel that he has performed extremely well.
But when I took this paper and took the exam in each subject, I was so bored that I fell asleep for half an hour, but I could still get the top score of 690 or 700 points.
It will still feel awkward.
When the skills were not activated, Gu Weijing knew clearly that his skills were far from perfect, and there were still many areas that could be polished and considered.
But he still felt that the painting was pretty good, and he didn’t know how to improve it.
Now.
He can clearly see the uncontrolled spread of paint everywhere on the paper, and can detect every uncontrolled ups and downs when controlling the pen.
Where the water is thicker, where the brush strokes are dry.
The way I use the brush is wrong. There is a trace of split ends and messiness in the peak of the brush between the blending and flat painting.
Gu Weijing's most proud line control is the most highly praised in the history of art. He has practiced his line ability to the extreme in front of the long painting master.
The so-called first level of profession is still only at the very low level of beginners.
He looked at the same painting with an experience and vision that was several dimensions higher than before.The painting, which was originally a smooth and flawless surface, became as rough as a sand dune when it was carefully examined under a high-power microscope.
Gu Weijing resisted the urge to crumple up the painting in front of him and throw it away.
Pick up the pen.
Tap and slow dye.
He used the tip of his pen to open up the paint, and then used his side edge to push away the water vapor.
Gu Weijing no longer painted clouds, but let the sea of blue clouds flow out along the peaks of the squirrel hair.
All this happens in a matter of seconds.
As freely as if he were playing in childhood, he pulled out a soft lint flower from his torn sleeve with his fingers and threw it into the air.
All painted.
Gu Weijing discovered that he didn’t even clean the pen, but he made perfect use of the little pigment mixed in the tip of the pen when blending, creating a light yellow sunlight reflecting from the lower layer of the white sea of clouds. , was slowly coated with a subtle purple-gray feeling.
Berlin is an industrial city.
It is not a tourist destination like Austria or Nordic Switzerland that completely pursues beautiful mountains and rivers. The air quality in Germany is not good in Europe.
Berlin’s air quality is not even at the top level in Germany. It is ranked second from the bottom in Germany and certainly not at the top level.
Various European travel guides often describe Paris as beautiful, Vienna as elegant, and Venice as romantic.
Such words have never been applied to Berlin.
It’s not that Berlin is bad, but that in most cases, people only use a specific and exclusive word to describe it as sexy.
Think about the difference in style between beautiful girls, elegant girls, romantic girls and sexy girls.
Plus learn that it is the electronic music and party capital of the world.
It is easy to feel the urban temperament of Berlin.
Long before the Berlin Wall fell.
It is world-famous for its loud electronic music, sex, and endless underground parties.
Many young and artistic young men and women who come here to travel, engage in rock music, and engage in modern art, come here just for its a little dirty and chaotic sense of vicissitudes.
Even its air is dyed with this restless atmosphere.
Contamination in the real physical sense is the kind of air pollution.
It’s certainly not as thick as the smog of Victorian London or the photochemical smog of Los Angeles.
It’s very dirty, which makes it worse.
The air in Berlin in the photo is not clear either. It feels slightly gray and gray, neither choking soot nor clear white clouds.
Far from the sun, the clouds are almost pure white.
Where the closest sun meets the distant horizon, the clouds are in bright yellow, vaguely dyed with a layer of blue-grey that is almost imperceptible to the naked eye, but it is real if you look closely. .
This is the sunlight passing through the clouds and thenA special visual effect caused by refraction between a small number of dust particles in the underlying atmosphere.
The hazy, vague light and shadow rendering is the most difficult part to deal with in the painting process.
How difficult is it?
To put it simply, Professor Vatel cannot draw the realistic details of Museum Island because he cannot handle the museum architecture well in terms of technique or color palette. The changes in subtle light and shadow details that are the most delicate on the surface of an object.
And these subtle changes in atmospheric color.
Compared with the mottled surface of the building, it is more delicate and more demanding in painting.
It is extremely difficult and extremely difficult to portray it perfectly.
This kind of subtle brushstrokes and colors that are almost completely indescribable is the most complex and difficult aspect of photorealism watercolor painting.
No textbook can tell you what kind of air pollution index, what time, what kind of sun position and what kind of air flow and wind speed, what kind of color matching ratio and Pen techniques.
Completely different from the Western cooking guide.
Even if Gu Weijing searched through all the information and all the watercolor courses with videos teaching people to paint, he could not find anyone who would teach you step by step how many spoons and grams you should scoop out, or how many drops of rose should be measured with a measuring cup. Add red or cobalt blue to the palette.
The most difficult thing in the world is to rely on feelings.
The watercolor guide by Terumi Suzuki that Professor Vatel has in hand has a whole chapter and hundreds of pages teaching people how to find the right color feeling.
Judging from the page turning marks on the book, the various notes between the pages, and the wear and tear on the corners.
Professor Vatel is almost ready to read this chapter.
But.
When it’s time to draw, I just stare and can’t draw. Even after ten years of drawing, I still can’t draw.
If you mix it once less, you won’t feel it. If you mix it more, the whole painting will be dirty in one go.
Clean, unnatural.
Dirty means too deliberate.
It’s not what it looks like in the photos.
If you miss something, you will miss it a thousand miles.
Gu Weijing not only instantly expressed the diffuse feeling of sunlight in the dust, it was neither light nor heavy, just right.
What’s even more terrifying is.
Gu Weijing discovered that he had already finished the painting in his breath without even any deliberate thinking.
The hands even move faster than the brain.
It was only after playing around with the painting that he became more and more surprised the more he looked at it. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that there was so much flavor in these two simple strokes.
The name of this limited skill is Real World.
With the blessing of skills, Gu Weijing seemed to be able to pick a corner of the world out of the photo and put it on the paper with just a few strokes of his hand. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
