Chapter 71: Copying

As soon as he thought of it, Chen Xiao began to quickly retrieve the oil paintings in his mind.

To be dark, this is a lot.

It can't be too complicated, the composition should be as simple as possible, well, there's quite a bit left.

Suddenly, a picture crossed Chen Xiao's mind, making his mind directly freeze, and it seemed that only this oil painting was left in his mind.

It restless, twisted, and swirled, as if the entire painting had been swallowed up by a raging torrent.

The name of this oil painting is "Starry Night"!

The painting "Starry Night" is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces of the after-impression, and it is also one of Van Gogh's masterpieces, which was extremely prestigious in the previous life, and basically anyone who has gone to school has seen the picture of this work from textbooks.

Can he draw a starry sky?

The answer is: Yes!

He had already studied art, and it was not much difficult to just copy.

The real difficulty is whether or not the emotions that the original work wants to express in the painting.

Van Gogh went to a psychiatric hospital for treatment after his second mental breakdown, and he painted it after a month of hospitalization.

Perhaps only Van Gogh in that state of mind could create such a painting.

Some people think that what this painting wants to convey is that in the vast universe, human beings are very small, and they should have a sense of awe for the universe.

But in fact, this painting only expresses the author's inner anguish and melancholy.

Or maybe it also wants to show the struggle and struggle of human beings.

"I wonder what kind of sparks "Starry Night" will have if it is brought to this world?"

Chen Xiao decided that this is it!

The first is composition.

In "Starry Night", the sky is set against the background of trees, and the houses in the lower part hold up the boundless universe......

Chen Xiao picked up the pencil and began to sketch out the various parts of the picture, such as houses, need to be drawn carefully, but the clouds and stars in the sky only need to be roughly drawn.

At this time, the painter's sketching ability is very tested, and sketching requires the painter to be able to express the characteristics of the target with a few simple strokes, both tangible and emotional.

A sketch is not necessarily a good sketch, but a good sketch must be good.

Chen Xiao's sketching is very good, and the speed is also very fast.

Soon he had the sketch ready.

The next step is to use paint, the main color of the starry sky is blue, and the paint of oil painting has a strong coverage, so you need to use a darker blue to cover the sky first.

This is not a simple smear, even if it is smearing, you should pay attention to the direction of the strokes, and you must follow the direction of rotation of the swirling clouds.

Then the trees and the moon and stars are colored.

Chen Xiao was a little dissatisfied with this painting, but he did not invalidate the painting, but continued to paint.

He didn't expect to succeed in his first oil painting, and this one was all about practice.

Then he began to paint the very obvious brushstrokes in the sky, exactly according to the original drawing, and all he had to do was to carry the work.

The short lines rotate with the starry sky of the clouds, and it looks a little flavorful.

Then he moved on to the final step, refinement.

It takes patience to sketch out the halo of the stars little by little, and then to refine the details of the house.

Chen Xiao had completely focused his attention on the painting, and it didn't take long for a pair of "Starry Sky" to be released.

However, the painting is destined to be thrown in the trash.

Chen Xiao looked at the painting carefully, and then frowned, in fact, he can still accept the mistakes in the painting, after all, as long as he pays attention next time.

But he looked at his starry sky, and he didn't know if it was because it was a flowing water work, and he always felt that there was a little less flavor.

But this is certainly not because I didn't understand Van Gogh's mood.

Painting is not singing, if it is creation, a certain mood is still necessary, but if it is copying, if it does not express the artistic conception, it is not a matter of mood, but because the copying is not accurate enough.

Chen Xiao felt that he was just because the copying was not accurate enough, but because of any problems, he didn't find it for a while.

He used his copy version of "Starry Night", constantly comparing it with the original work in his mind, carefully and carefully, without letting go of any details, and finally let him discover the problem.

It's a matter of color!

Although they are all dark blue, the blue in the starry sky has a somewhat dark feeling, but the blue he uses is a little brighter.

Originally, these two colors are also very similar, and it is not easy to see even if you look closely, but they affect the overall style of a painting.

But the nearly 20 colors provided by the studio don't have what Chen Xiao wants, so what should I do?

You can only adjust the color yourself.

But if you want Chen Xiao to adjust the color, it is better to kill him.

Then I had to ask someone to help me adjust it, and make the color darker, it shouldn't take long.

And I only know Frank here, so I can only ask him to help me.

Otherwise, he would rather destroy the "Starry Sky" in his hand than take it out.

When Chen Xiao saw Frank's palette, his eyes lit up, this blue, isn't it the dark blue he wants, Frank is really his lucky star.

"Frank!"

Chen Xiao called him in a suppressed voice.

Frank was preparing to apply the base color at this time, he felt that he was simply inspired at this time, and he couldn't stop it, the composition and color mixing were simply done in one go, and there was no mistake in the middle.

He can already feel that he is about to have another excellent work.

And in this case, it may also be fame and fortune.

Although there are many painters on the scene, I still have a good chance.

Just as he was in the middle of his drawing, a voice suddenly interrupted him, and Frank's movements stopped abruptly, and he subconsciously wanted to get angry, but then he thought of the environment he was in.

Then he followed the voice and saw Chen Xiao's earnest eyes.

Then he saw Chen Xiao pointing to his palette, as if he wanted his own palette, he was a little stunned, some didn't react, and he didn't think about why Chen Xiao wanted his palette, but subconsciously gave his palette to Chen Xiao.

"Thank you......"

He heard Chen Xiao thank him again, and then he reacted.

Everybody has a color palette, what do you want from me, and I've used it all.

Besides, I'm drawing!

You return my palette!

Frank was about to ask Chen Xiao for his palette when he saw a palette handed to him.

It's a brand new color palette with no stains on it.

Frank took it stunned.
