Chapter 23 It turns out that I am really a painting genius
After having the system, Li Yan’s most curious skill data is painting.
Before his rebirth, his relatives and friends all believed that Li Yan had the highest talent in painting, to the point where he could be called a genius willingly.
But he didn’t dare to take it.
As the saying goes, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts.
In the current era, aesthetics is already in a state where the public talks about the public’s reasons and the mother-in-law’s reasons.
In the general environment, the saying "It's good if I like it" is rampant, and "painting level" seems to be gradually moving towards the point where there are no judging criteria.
Of course, this is based on the public environment. Within the real art and painting circles, people can still be judged on a rough level.
The problem is that Li Yan has never studied, and he does not belong to the "professional" school.
This has kept him in a very contradictory state. He has a somewhat low self-esteem and always feels that he has not received systematic aesthetic education, so he has no say in "aesthetics" and accordingly cannot judge his own painting level. .
After all, there are a lot of people praising some simple sketches that are not worth mentioning in my eyes, so what does it mean if my sketches are praised as "they look very similar"?
At least before college, Li Yan could not deeply understand the meaning of "being high-minded and modest".
But at the same time, he was very proud, because he was convinced that he had a talent for painting, which was evident from the fact that his junior high school art teacher repeatedly asked him whether he had received painting training.
I haven’t learned anything, but I know all kinds of skills.
No need to teach, you can figure it out by yourself.
And the most amazing thing is that although he has a passion for painting, his priority is not high.
That is to say, I am very serious when I draw, but I only take it seriously once a month.
However, even if there is a gap of several months, you can still gain new insights and improvements.
Recalling this... "Did I also have a painting system before I was reborn?"
It's a pity that Li Yan failed to recall the words of a teacher from the First Academy of Fine Arts in college. Words:
"A quick and accurate sketch like classmate Li Yan is what is most needed for the art exam!"
Otherwise, his current confidence should still be +1.
Out of curiosity about the data, Li Yan had long tried to draw a landscape sketch, which he was best at, but the system had no response.
"Perhaps the base value is too high and difficult to improve?"
He found a pleasant reason for himself, and then went all out to improve the skills that needed to be improved more.
Now Li Xinyuan actually asked to see the painting, which really hit the mark.
He agreed very simply. After searching for a long time, he couldn't find the octavo sketch paper he usually used, only the quarto one.
“So...what should we draw?”
“Let’s just draw this vase, I think it’s quite pretty.”
Li Xinyuan pointed to a blue vase in the living room Fat vase.
Why does it feel like the questions given by the art exam teacher?
That’s pretty good, he likes challenges.
Then the two of them moved to the small desk in the living room. The textbook exercises set on the table for "study" were in the way.
Li Yan rarely draws in front of others, so Li Yan is still a little nervous about it.
However, the study committee member is very good at studying and knows nothing about painting.
"Please start, great painter."
There is no paint at home, so I can only draw a sketch with a pencil. The great painter Li Yan confidently picked up his brush, but then he was dumbfounded.
This vase is a bit old, wide and fat, with a slightly reflective cyan-blue glaze on the surface.
The shape is not outstanding, the material is difficult to depict, and the most exciting feature is the color. Li Yan is holding a pencil in her hand.
I don’t know where my parents got it from, and there were no flowers on it, just sitting empty in the corner of the living room.
"Your parents have great taste, and this vase is very beautiful."
Okay... Li Yan was speechless, feeling a little more nervous. After losing the color, the most obvious feature Finally, how should he restore this vase?
What he is best at is restoration, but this question obviously won’t let him relax easily.
“How to express blue using the relationship between black and white?”
Obviously, this vase has a certain temperament, but this temperament comes from the cyan blue which was very high-end at that time - in fact, more than ten years later, this color is still the best choice for porcelain that wants to show its noble temperament. choice.
How to draw temperament?
Li Yan did not realize at the time that his starting point for painting was already a manifestation of his talent.
What troubles him now is that Li Xinyuan is watching helplessly from the side, and inexplicable anxiety creeps into his heart.
The weather is not too hot, but the sweat on my forehead can only be due to other reasons.
Forget it, it’s not to show off my presence, painting is my own business.
Four o'clock mental skills have come into play, and the child's unique good face has not dominated the brain.
Observe carefully and experience with your heart. The noble and elegant temperament of this vase comes from the color, but the shape is also simple and clumsy. The combination of the two forms a wonderful urban-rural fusion temperament.
No, it’s not just these two effects. The transparent glaze enhances the aristocratic temperament, and the unrefined texture brings back the sense of cheapness...
Every feature, in the end Whether it is to restore or highlight the look and feel of this vase, these characteristics need to be expressed on the drawing paper.
The simple and clumsy shape is outlined with bolder lines;
The transparent glaze is highlighted with strong light and shadow;
The unrefined texture is not expressed directly, but by using light and dark tones. The small pieces show the difference...
The strokes of light and dark tones and the direction of the lines can be different...
If you cannot express cyan and blue, then it will complicate the transition between black, white and gray and highlight the cyan. Changes in blue glaze...
Li Yan, who was thinking seriously, ignored the gradually gentle look in Li Xinyuan's eyes and devoted herself to every stroke of painting.
“Although this quarto paper is a bit larger, the experience of carving out details is completely different from that of the small octavo paper...”
Looking at the final completed painting, Li Yan He sighed tiredly and excitedly.
He was quite satisfied. Although the degree of restoration was not very high, the atmosphere of the urban-rural fringe of the vase was indeed drawn by him.
“Is this painting difficult?”
Li Xinyuan doesn't understand painting, but she understands how devoted Li Yan is.
“It’s a little bit, mainly because I don’t know how to express the temperament of blue in black and white.”
“Temperament?” Li Xinyuan was interested, “The color does have temperament.”
< br>"There are also vases, look, although this vase..."
Ding!
[Painting +1, total 48]
48? ! Li Yan was so shocked that he only used the system to improve a little, which meant that before the system came into play, painting was his best skill.
It’s still 48 points which is more than half the average!
It turns out that I am really a painting genius!
Driven by this excitement, Li Yan explained to the study committee members and talked endlessly about all the new experiences about painting that he had just realized.
So he completely ignored Li Xinyuan's increasingly lonely eyes.
