It's embarrassing......

Lu Zi'an coughed and changed the topic: "I will try my hand on other wood carvings in the afternoon, and I have to make sure that everything is foolproof before I can do the flying wood carvings, if you have time, you can stay and study together." ”

This is really face-saving, and everyone's eyes lit up.

Although I am not very happy to let others see my own tightly covered skills, but thinking about what Lu Zi'an said does make sense, without a master, this door is really not so easy to enter, and now that Lu Zi'an is willing to do it in front of them, maybe if you don't understand, you can ask for advice, it's the best of both worlds.

President Chu was not stupid, he thought for a moment and exchanged opinions with the others, and happily agreed.

So Qu Duoduo turned on the live broadcast, and Lu Zi'an casually picked a few pieces of wood to practice, lined them up and placed them on the table, and then began to prepare the materials.

Mixing mineral pigments, brick powder and other materials together, Lu Zi'an began to hammer.

The process of beating is very boring, but it also best reflects the skills of the craftsman, and the strength and time should be just right, until the formation of a "lacquer line soil" that is moderately soft and hard like dough, can be rubbed, molded and tough, and this process is considered to be completed.

No one said anything when he was beating, but when he was done and ready to roll the thread, someone asked questions.

"That, Master Lu, I want to ask, are these spices you added in the middle of it paint?" someone gently pinched his fingertips, put them on the tip of his nose and smelled them, and felt as if there was no smell of paint......

Lu Zi'an shook his head: "It's not paint, this is the mineral pigment I bought." ”

Mineral pigments?

Mineral pigments are inorganic pigments, colored pigments of inorganic nature, generally made of natural ore by beneficiation, crushing, grinding, grading, refining, long storage time, and bright and bright colors, used to make handicrafts is indeed excellent.

It's just that......

President Chu frowned and said, "But our Quanzhou lacquer line carving is not made of mineral pigments, we are the last to paste gold leaf......

"Yes, similar but not the same, this is the pigment used in the Dunhuang murals, and what I do is a flying wood carving, so naturally I have to echo it. Lu Zi'an wiped his hands clean and looked indifferent: "So I said that it doesn't matter if others see it." ”

Anyway, their core technology is still there, and he is just borrowing a method.

“……”

Remembering that they had questioned him before, everyone's faces couldn't help but feel hot.

Fortunately, Lu Zi'an did not fall into the ground, as if he just said casually and began to rub the thread, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but also secretly admired his mind.

Thread rubbing is a very important level in lacquer line carving, because all the patterns of lacquer line carving are completed by a line, and the thickness and symmetry of the line are related to the delicacy of the whole pattern.

Lu Zi'an picked up a ball of lacquer line soil, controlled the rolling of lacquer soil with his left hand, and rubbed back and forth with a wooden block with his right hand.

He wraps lacquer clay around smooth sticks and coils it little by little with a carving knife.

The very complex flowers bloom leisurely under his fingers, and the lacquer lines seem to have a thousand changes in his hands, whether it is the stretched petals or the slightly wrinkled leaves, they are very fresh and natural.

He tried three samples in a row, and gradually got a feel, and casually put the three samples aside, and began to rub the thread he really needed.

While he was busy rubbing the thread, the others gently picked up the three samples and took a closer look.

The petals under the light are extremely three-dimensional, and the colors are very bright, as if they really bloomed in the wood.

President Chu took a peony and looked at it carefully, and when he saw an inconspicuous dent, he suddenly showed a look of sudden realization.

He turned his gaze to Lu Zi'an, who was concentrating on tightly coiling the lacquer line on a bouquet of flying fairy wood carvings, and various colorful flowers with rich layers and bright colors suddenly appeared in the originally flat and undulating flower basket.

In the process of creation, Lu Zi'an does not focus on line, but uses both line and color.

This is a very huge project, the process from the original simple strip, carving, carving to the strip, plate, winding, pile, carving, carving and other ten kinds of pure manual processes.

A large number of colors are paved, and the skirts on the flying fairy's body are complicated and overlapped, and several colors are arranged to set off the flame pattern, which is brilliant and imaginative.

This kind of lacquer line carving is simply unheard of, not only eliminating the complicated step of surface gilding, but also because of the one-step molding, the lines are elegant and stretched, and there is no bubbles that often appear before the gold leaf is carved and pasted in Quanzhou.

A brightly colored lacquer line slowly outlines the graceful posture of the flying fairy wearing a crown and a thin waist with a breast augmentation, she is hovering in the auspicious clouds in the air, and the flowers on the flower plate in her hand are not falling, the colors are bright and warm, and the visual effect is extremely strong.

[Wow, that's amazing, this is the real lacquer line carving, right?]

[I've only seen the glittering lacquer line carved wood carving, is this new?]

[It feels like the master's original, and it feels so good.] 】

[Tickets for this year's Dunhuang Exhibition will soar, right?]

[Yes, the price will rise, but don't be afraid, good daughter, Dad will buy it for you. 】

Lu Zi'an was too concentrated, sweat stuck to his eyelids, he held the lacquer line in his left hand and the carving knife in his right hand, he couldn't free his hand at all, and even he couldn't speak, and even as long as he blinked again, the sweat dripped onto the paint line.

Fortunately, Shen Mange saw it carefully, and hurriedly wiped him clean with a towel, so as to avoid the tragic situation of falling short.

Lu Zi'an pursed his lips and continued to wrap the last few streamers, and the Xuanguang carving knife was carved or entangled, or finely hollowed out, depicting a fairy flying in the air without restraint to the fullest.

Cutting off the lacquer line with a clean knife, Lu Zi'an sighed: "It's done." ”

The wood carving of this fairy scattered flowers is finally completed, under the light, this wood carving is extremely three-dimensional, she only soars in the air with her fluttering long skirt and flying ribbons, her posture is elegant and vibrant.

Lu Zi'an uses this unique lacquer line carving technique to truly show the state of unrestrained and arbitrary flight, and perfectly expresses the vitality of that dynamism and life!

I don't know who whispered softly: "The heart is in an art, and its art must work." The master is indeed the master. ”

Lu Zi'an put down the carving knife and smiled slightly: "Very good, the lacquer line soil has just run out, continue tomorrow." ”

Before leaving, President Chu bowed deeply to Lu Zi'an: "Thank you, Master Lu, I have understood." ”

Lu Zi'an was stunned.
