"Ahh Lu Manwen was surprised, and didn't understand why Ji Tianci wanted to paint ink paintings.

The reason why Ji Tianci wants to paint is actually because he wants to make himself stronger. I realized a set of exercises in Fu Xiqin before, this set of exercises is the practice of cultivating the soul of the earth, and it pays attention to placing feelings on things, which roughly means placing emotions in creation.

Playing the piano, painting, carving, carpentry...... It's all creation. Some people draw portraits just to complete their homework, and they paint for the sake of drawing, and the final thing they draw can only be called "homework".

And there are also people who paint their own emotions and their inner world, and their paintings are often called "works of art".

These people who create works of art are full of emotions, but they don't cultivate mental power, they have no realm, and they have no power.

The set of nameless exercises in Fu Xiqin is to amplify emotions to break through the limits of the physical body and obtain huge mental power.

Jiuyou once had a hurdler who won the Olympic championship.

Asians are inherently inferior to Africans in terms of physical fitness. After the athlete reached the final with a second place in his group, he felt the expectations of the people of Jiuyou.

There was a strong emotion and desire burning in his heart, he longed to win, to stand at the top of the podium. It was this emotion that gave him the strength to push his limits, and he eventually won the championship by tying the world record.

The strength that this emotion brought him made him stronger. Shortly after that Olympics, he broke another world record that had stood for 13 years in another event.

In the nameless exercises, the inspiration period says that all things have mental power, and people also have mental power. Mental power is born in the heart, stepping into the ethereal, loving things, and feeling mental power.

After Ji Tianci's earth soul changed, he always felt an inexplicable power, but he wouldn't use this power. It wasn't until he played the Fuxi qin that he knew that this power was called telekinesis, and he also knew how to cultivate telekinesis.

……

Ji Tianci wants to paint ink because he likes the ancient culture of Jiuyou, and in painting, Lu Manwen can indeed be his "history teacher".

Lu Manwen continued: "Nowadays, the people who paint ink are some old people, and young people rarely learn ink painting anymore. ”

"Why?" Ji Tianci asked curiously, he had also seen ink paintings, although he had not studied them deeply, but the elegant charm in ink painting was not found in Western oil paintings.

Lu Manwen tilted his head and said a reason why Ji Tianci couldn't smile bitterly.

"Because ink painting is not good at making money. ”

Lu Manwen continued: "Ink paintings are not as easy to preserve as oil paintings, and many of the masterpieces of ink painting in ancient times have been lost or deteriorated, so oil paintings can often fetch a higher price for paintings in contemporary auctions."

More importantly, although the history of ink painting is much longer, its theoretical system is not as complete as that of oil painting, so that it is difficult to learn and relies more on perception.

Oil painting has developed into drawing theory, color science, painting perspective, art anatomy, etc., and it has also divided into many art schools, realism, impressionism, abstraction, expressionism, ......

It has a perfect theoretical system, it is easier to learn, and the recognition of oil paintings in various countries around the world is also higher, so oil paintings are better to sell. It's a virtuous circle, the more you buy, the better you get. However, the market for ink painting is not large, and there are fewer and fewer people who learn it, and its development is slow. ”

Ji Tianci listened to it interestingly, and Lu Manwen said it with interest.

"However, ink painting is also beneficial, have you noticed that the people who paint ink now are some gray-bearded old grandfathers, and most of the oil paintings are middle-aged people?"

Ji Tianci thought about it, and what he saw on TV seemed to be really like this.

"Why?"

Lu Manwen smiled proudly, "The pigment health of ink is generally naturally extracted, which is conducive to physical health, so if you paint for a long time, you will live for a long time." Most of the pigments in modern oil painting are industrialized, and a bunch of this and that agent are added to it, all of which are chemical compounds, and painting oil paintings all day long is not conducive to good health. I usually buy some natural oil paints from abroad, otherwise, I will get dizzy after smelling the smell of oil painting for a long time. ”

Ji Tianci smiled slightly, he didn't expect the ink and oil painting to be so interesting, he asked Lu Manwen: "Is there a pen, ink, paper and inkstone at home?"

"There is this, I'll look for it. ”

It took a while for Lu Manwen to find a set of dusty pen and ink.

This is also complete, more than a dozen large and small, Ji Tianci found that these brushes are not very different from the brushes he used to practice calligraphy.

And Lu Manwen even said that her brushes are not complete, only these more than a dozen sheep pens and wolf hao pens. As the name suggests, sheep's hair is a pen made of wool, while wolf hao refers to a weasel, in addition to chicken hair, badger hair, etc. And "big white cloud" refers to the pen made by sheep and wolves.

There is a long front, a center, a short front, the long edge of the sheep hair pen is long, contains more water, suitable for the performance of a variety of ink color changes, but not easy to master. The short edge of the sheep is short, easy to master, and the pen is thick.

Ji Tianci didn't expect to paint Chinese paintings, and this pen alone has so much exquisiteness. Once Qingfeng Dao Chang asked him to practice the pen with calligraphy, it seemed to be a few random brushes, Ji Tianci was still speculating at the time why these brushes were of different sizes, and now he knows that there are so many classifications of brushes.

There is only one kind of ink that can still be used in Lu Manwen's house, which is the most common black ink, and there was originally a set of color ink, but it seems that it has not been preserved, and some have deteriorated.

This black ink was bought by Lu Manwen because of his feelings, and it is a rectangular ink strip. Lu Manwen began to grind ink on inkstones, which also took a long time to wash off the dust.

She also found a textbook of ink painting for Ji Tianci, which was detailed, and Ji Tianci understood how to paint this ink painting after reading it for a while.

Basic ink painting, only water and ink, black and white. Ink is the main raw material, and the amount of water is introduced as thick ink, light ink, dry ink, wet ink, burnt ink, etc., and different shades (grayscale) levels are drawn.

After Ji Tianci understood this principle, he picked up a pen to paint, Lu Manwen had a lot of paper at home, she found a large size of rice paper for Ji Tianci, spread it on the floor of the living room, and let him practice first.

Lu Manwen watched Ji Tianci paint while grinding ink.

At first, Ji Tianci kept changing pens, as if he was feeling the characteristics of each pen.

The first painting did not take shape, and Ji Tianci changed another piece of paper.

He stood up, closed his eyes, and didn't move.

Five minutes later, he suddenly opened his eyes, and with a brush in each hand, he was making two drawings on the same piece of paper.

……

"Huh. Lu Manwen found that Ji Tianci's two paintings had exactly the same trend and the same shape, but why did he feel that these were two completely different paintings?

Ji Tianci painted the scenery outside the balcony of Lu Manwen's house. Ink painting mostly landscapes, in this painting there are Luoshan and North Lake, these are no problem, but Ji Tianci even painted the night sky.

The night sky is thick with ink, and the dots of light ink are stars. And the night clouds were also painted by Ji Tianci, it is more like a feeling, making people feel that there are clouds in the night sky of this ink painting.

Ji Tianci painted very slowly, hooking, rubbing, rubbing, pointing, and doing the same action with both hands.

The more Lu Manwen stared at the two paintings, the more curious she became, and as the two paintings gradually took shape, she felt more and more conflicted. These are obviously two identical paintings, so why does one look lighthearted and the other makes people nervous.

Turning his gaze to Ji Tianci, Lu Manwen couldn't help but exclaim.

Ji Tianci actually closed his eyes and painted!

Lu Manwen hurriedly held his breath, for fear that it would affect Ji Tianci.

Time passed minute by minute, and the living room was filled with the fragrance of ink.

Suddenly, Ji Tianci stopped again, he was half-kneeling on the ground, holding two pens in his hands, two feet away from the rice paper.

This position was held for about a minute, and his next action finally made Lu Manwen exclaim.

Ji Tianci let go of his hands, and the two brushes did not fall on the paper, they were suspended in the air!
