Chapter 288 New Painting Insights
"But I didn't come here today to learn comics. Let's add QQ first and arrange a time to communicate later." Li Yan simply stood up and shook hands with the stunned Cao Xinshuo.
"Okay..." Cao Xinshuo put his hat back on, "So what are you preparing for today?"
"Of course it's painting."
"With Yang Did the teacher say that? ”
"No, it's not necessary." Li Yan said, already walking to the door, "It's not yet the stage where I need his guidance."
Then he closed the door and left with a wave of his hand.
Li Yan walked to his studio and inexplicably felt that everything was covered with dust.
Actually, this is not the case. There is always a cleaning lady who is responsible for cleaning here. Even if Li Yan hasn't come for more than a month, it will still be clean.
The only thing that was really covered in dust was the painting he put up by the window.
A "painting" with only ultramarine background.
No wonder he said that he hasn’t reached the stage where he needs Yang Chengzhang’s guidance, which means he hasn’t painted yet.
Because he has been struggling with a problem before.
Want to draw a concrete back or a vague impression.
Although the video quality of the art performance was not clear enough for him to be able to describe and restore the scene, the protagonist of the photo published in the newspaper was basically himself - in fact, even if he took a close-up of Wei Yunzhi, it was definitely not comparable. Li Yan suddenly looked back at that stunning look.
But it is also a very concrete choice to restore this moment that is imprinted in my mind.
Or should you capture that ethereal look and feel and create a more stream-of-consciousness work?
Because he didn't think about it well, he gave it up and accepted the prize to review the system and participate... More than a month passed.
As soon as he returned to New Taipei, he met the little beauty. Li Yan’s question suddenly became very specific:
Should I paint Wei Yunzhi?
In other words, is the real Wei Yunzhi painted, or is it an illusion that combines many things?
Li Yan has the answer.
He wiped a layer of dust on the canvas, revealing a brighter ultramarine blue.
Inexplicably, I thought of the curtain opening.
Inspiration always comes unexpectedly.
In fact, he couldn't draw a "real Wei Yunzhi" at all. He actually didn't understand this girl.
No one is qualified to say that they understand anyone, and you don’t even understand yourself.
The most authentic ideas will always be hidden under various shells.
What kind of person Wei Yunzhi is, in Li Yan's eyes, only depends on Li Yan's "feelings".
The combination of the favorable impression of her appearance, the glimpse at the cultural performance, the teasing about her "elegant" attributes, the good memories of several times getting together, etc... are intertwined to create an illusion.
That is Wei Yunzhi in Li Yan's eyes.
Why is it said that the ambiguous stage of youthful love is the most wonderful? Because at this time, the boys and girls see each other as beautiful illusions that they have selectively remembered and imagined.
Although the early stages of a relationship are often vigorous, it is the time when the relationship between the two is the most fragile. When the filter gradually recedes, both parties see the discord, dislike, and discomfort, but they are still willing to continue on.
Only the seeds called love have the opportunity to blossom and bear fruit under the nourishment of habits, responsibilities, gratitude, etc.
What, you said there can’t be a situation where the more we talk, the more we find that the other person is even better than we imagined?
Of course there is, it’s called a romance science fiction film.
Wei Yunzhi is good enough, and the book full of articles published by Li Yan under various pen names is enough to make people laugh.
Can there be more ultimate moves? Then Li Yanke really needs to consider waiting until this good friend reaches adulthood.
He slowly began to clear the painting tools and mix colors.
Since it is all an illusion, why bother sticking to reality.
It’s all up to you, Li Yan doesn’t paint anyone, he paints the amazing emotions in his heart at that moment.
After a few strokes, the outline of a graceful girl has appeared.
It doesn’t matter what kind of stage it is on, what kind of skirt it is, what kind of posture it is.
The important thing is a kind of temperament.
It is the crystal clarity and depth, transparency and nobility of a sapphire.
As long as he doesn't feel this way after a few strokes, he will just lay down a layer of ultramarine and continue painting. The writing is very free and easy, and the colors are getting darker and darker.
He did not stop writing until the sapphire blue, ultramarine, dark blue and even black streamers that covered the entire painting wrapped around the center of the painting like a storm.
Then he began to carefully carve the gorgeous dance skirt on the girl's body.
This is not something that happens in a day or two. Li Yan would take a few steps back and ponder for a long time before he painted.
When he feels that something is wrong with his situation, he just stops writing and doesn't force anything.
Night has already fallen outside.
After escaping from the world of painting, Li Yan suddenly felt hungry and went downstairs to find a beef offal noodle shop to have a good meal.
“I want beef offal powder for 12 yuan, and add offal for 50 yuan.”
It’s so damn good to be rich, you can add two eggs to the hand cakes Not distressed.
It’s very satisfying to concentrate on one thing, and Li Yan’s short twenty-day summer vacation eventually turned into a painting project.
Mainly because every time he ignores the overall "feel" and starts focusing on technical details, heading in the direction of "originality", he just needs to give Wei Yun some guidance.
Of course, Li Yan did not call out the title "Zhizhi".
The girl always got perfect answers, which made Li Yan once doubt the significance of her teaching.
It wasn’t until he gave a competition-level problem that the girl finally felt frustrated.
Then he spent more energy explaining the questions and felt ashamed of his naive mentality of "showing you some colors".
A wonderful episode was that Li Yan originally wanted to invite the juice back during the second tutoring session, but was told by the landlady that Wei Yunzhi had already booked several subsequent juice packages.
“She has a black card from our store.”
Li Yan said she could not comment.
The maximum number of customers in this bookstore in one afternoon is no more than eight, and they even get black cards?
The key is that someone actually recharged!
This man is sitting opposite me!
However, the fruit juice is really good. The fruit concentration should be No. 1 among the juices Li Yan has ever drunk.
Wei Yunzhi's reaction was: "Do you like drinking?"
Li Yan nodded, and the girl smiled back.
It doesn't matter whether it's a black card or not.
The appearance of the little beauty always makes Li Yan change his painting ideas, and then he goes back and makes revisions in meditation.
This kind of modification breaks away from the extreme processing of the details of the picture, allowing Li Yan to continue to paint with sensibility.
As a result, his overall ability to grasp painting has completely improved to a higher level - after all, it can be said that it is special training, so his painting skills have also skyrocketed by a few points, and he is only one point away from the 60% stuck point.
Happiness was still happiness, but a sudden thought made Li Yan break into a cold sweat.
These twenty days seem to be Wei Yunzhi’s special topic as well.
With the "help" of the little beauty, Li Yan successfully completed the first draft of the painting in seventeen days, waiting for Yang Chengzhang's evaluation and guidance.
At the beginning, he thought that seventeen days of creation time would be too short for a painting.
But he soon used his overwhelming self-confidence to wash away his self-doubt.
Li is always very fast in doing things. He spent seventeen days on a mere painting, which is already an incredible level of attention.
The time spent on something does not fully represent the effort put into it.
Working overtime sometimes only means that you have to work overtime due to lack of ability, rather than the so-called good attitude and strong sense of responsibility.
Seeing that the summer vacation is coming to an end, the roommates who are crying and howling in the dormitory are already on their way back to 403. It is time for Li Yan to move back from Lin Zhiyuan's cabin.
Then, Li Yan, who was packing the bedding, received an unexpected guest.
Su Siqing, a famous writer and scholar in Linjiang and Li Yan’s pen pal.
