To create a work, you must wait for a bright sunny day and have a good mood that is not stained with dirt before you can do it.

Just like the ancients often flowed through the meandering water, enjoyed the beautiful scenery and wrote poems, and the masterpieces such as the Yellow Crane Tower, such as the Lanting Collection Preface, such as the Yueyang Tower, such as the Tengwang Pavilion Preface, are all completed in the case of 'Yixing Turbulence'.

Don't touch the knife when you're in a bad mood, so as not to desecrate a piece of jade.

It was because Qin Huai did not carve immediately, but chose to make a few pots of tea first.

The ancients often called tea 'awakening hometown'.

It makes sense.

When making tea, the spirit must be extraordinarily concentrated, setting tea, boiling water, adding charcoal, brewing, and drinking......

Throughout the process, patience and concentration are constantly exercised, and in every minute and second, before you know it, your mind can calm down with your breathing.

The so-called a cup of wine in the red dust is a pot of tea for a thousand years.

Whether it is a great cause or a thousand years of red dust, after all, it can't match the taste of three cups of light wine and a pot of tea.

A glass of wine, drunk to death, a cup of tea, diluting the great cause of thousands of years.

The red world has become irrelevant.

The heart was calm, the tea was drunk, Qin Huai and Shang Ya packed up the tea set and went downstairs.

……

Finish lunch.

Qin Huai went into the study, and there was the jade material sent by Ning Zhiyuan on the desk.

Reach out and rub gently.

The jade is as delicate as fat.

It feels surprisingly good.

Generally, the surface of the high-grade mutton fat white jade has small 'pores', although there are pores, but in fact, the human eye cannot see these pores clearly, and it can only be seen with the help of a magnifying glass.

Therefore, these pores do not affect the play and viewing, and even add a touch of life to the jade.

You can't help but think of it as the skin of a baby or a peerless beauty.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this reason that in ancient times, there were jade idiots who were heavily obsessed with jade to sleep with Meiyu every day.

That's really just not going in.

……

Qin Huai stroked and touched the jade material inch by inch, as if he was exploring the body of a bathing girl.

Explore her carcass... The body and the convex curves, feel how she was washed by the current, how she used to breathe underwater......

Although it is more mysterious, Qin Huai is indeed measuring with his heart and sense of touch.

He has an unusual sensitivity to the details of the world, an insight to see the essence through phenomena, and a perceptive imagination, which are superimposed and reproduce the details of this jade material in his mind.

This is a work of accession. ‘

Qin Huai first gave a definition, because in order to take into account both vertical pendulum and horizontal placement, it is necessary to calculate the angle of the knife must be both vertical and horizontal, so that a knife mark has the effect of 'looking horizontally at the peak of the ridge side'.

It's not natural fun.

It's subtle

With creativity, it is not difficult to further improve, and even Qin Huai can go one step further and make her more ornamental......

Qin Huai silently started the draft.

This work is quite interesting, looking at it horizontally as a peak on the side of the ridge!

Knock knock.

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in. ”

"Shooting doesn't bother you, right?"

"It's okay, this piece isn't that demanding. ”

So Shang Yawan quietly found a suitable location for shooting.

The carving of Qin Huai's little brother is actually very suitable for viewing!

First of all, the carving action is smooth, the demeanor is engrossed, the side face, the slightly frowning eyebrows, the occasional gaze, there is a kind of delicate elegance of a craftsman in every gesture.

It can be seen that the hills and ravines in the little brother's chest are vertical and horizontal, and it can also be seen that the sparks of thought are splashing.

Pity......

Qin Huai's carving works are often hidden in the study, let the breeze and bright moon come to watch.

Maybe Qin Huai felt that Qingfeng Mingyue understood him better.

It's a pity that such a world is stunning!

After sitting quietly for a while, Qin Huai stood up the jade material, picked up the jade carving knife, used the jade as a blank, used the knife as a substitute for writing, and carved as a substitute for painting, and quietly displayed his skills.

Careful people will find that when Qin Huai carves, it is rarely polished and polished.

The only time I used polishing was the green jade kui dragon pattern tea set, because it was a living utensil, and it was exquisite, so Qin Huai rubbed off the knife marks with sandpaper in the details.

And if he usually carves works, Qin Huai will not use sandpaper to polish them.

In fact, this is also a kind of off-the-road technique: the knife.

——Cleaning knife is an independent skill, that is, there is no sandpaper polishing at all, and there is no oil paint to cover it, but the shape of the carving knife is naturally retained on the surface of the material, so that the carver's various traces of the knife are exposed!

The clear knife, just like calligraphy writing, needs to be done in the heart, the knife is like a god, and the skill of the carver and the thoughts and thoughts when creating are all engraved into the traces of the work.

It's like incorporating the carving process into the work.

In this way, the viewer can feel Qin Huai's breath, feel the breath of the tip of the knife, and feel the breath of the jade.

In addition, the works carved by the clear knife skills are pure in color, clear in texture, delicate in knife marks and vivid in image.

Therefore, Qin Huai has always been used.

Of course, this skill requires a high degree of skill in the carver's knife work and technique, especially the wrist that cannot be easily shaken.

If a jade carver does not have strong skills, it is better not to use a clear knife lightly.

Acting by force will only be counterproductive.

Because of the high difficulty, among the modern jade carvers, only Qin Huai adopted this ancient technique that first appeared in the Western Jin Dynasty.

Qin Huai likes this ancient technique that originated from agarwood carving.

He likes this kind of playful and tasteful carving. He also hopes that collectors can feel his sincerity when he plays.

Just like Wang Xizhi said: 'Although the world is different, so happy, it will be one, and those who read it later will also feel it'.

Isn't it what he wants to communicate with the viewer and convey his feelings through his works?

Although the carving is quite difficult, there is no doubt that the work carved in this way is the most in line with Qin Huai's requirements!

After all, Qin Huai has long been accustomed to demanding himself with the highest standards.

……

During this period of time, Qin Huai drew a rough outline.

Start with the outline.

This step has never been seen in Qin Huai's previous carvings.

All along, Qin Huai has been bold and bold, like an ape opening a bow, but this time, he was surprisingly step-by-step and conformist.

Shang Ya was a little flustered, her pretty face was serious, and she said that there was nothing wrong. This carving is obviously more serious than before!

"It's okay, you can actually sit down. ”

Qin Huai raised his head and saw the young lady with a nervous face.

"Why don't I remove the camera and disturb your engraving? Actually, it's okay if you don't shoot, anyway, there are still a lot of materials in life!"

Shang Ya said cautiously, she was afraid of disturbing her little brother's state.

"It's okay. ”

Qin Huai beckoned softly and explained:

"The reason why I carved the outline first is because I feel guilty about this piece of jade. Because she could have been carved into a piece of work according to the natural trend.

But according to Ning Zhiyuan's request, I had to carve landscapes and bodhisattvas.

And the step-by-step outline is to push her to the ultimate beauty where she can, which can be regarded as living up to her promise. ”

Forehead......

Forehead......

Shang Ya was speechless, and even a little moved.

I feel a little sorry for this piece of jade, so I have to make the details step by step to the extreme.

This is really Qin Huai's little brother's thinking, frank and free, and his style is strange.
