After walking for a while, Wei Hang saw the carved Lao Suo, who actually had a good business, and many tourists came forward to ask the price, etc., even if they didn't buy it, it also helped the popularity.
"If you don't have the right words, you can book, tell me what you like, and give me some time and I can carve it out. Lao Su said to a girl.
He found out that the girl really wanted to buy it, but maybe the finished product on the stall did not have what she liked.
"Well, you can help me carve a dolphin jumping ornament, preferably one with a large one and one with a small dolphin. The female tourist said what she wanted.
Lao Su immediately turned out a piece of squid fish bone, looked at it first, then took the bone in his left hand, and carved it in public.
The person who had just picked it up, saw that this old man was focused on carving, and did not bother, and waited patiently on the side, by the way, to see how people carved a lifelike work, how long it would take, and so on.
"These things are carved very similarly, and they are kind of material. ”
"Nonsense, look at that conch, it's the same as the real thing. Anyway, give me a distinction, and make sure you can't tell if it's a carving. A tourist next to him spoke.
In addition to the appearance, the materials are also similar, which is the real thing. Many of the components of shells are also calcium carbonate, which is similar to squid bones.
"The craftsmanship is really good, the knife is crisp and neat, and the technique is amazing. ”
The so-called technique, to be exact, is from the outside in. Step by step, guò minus the waste, and gradually excavate the form to reveal itself. In the subtraction modeling again and again, we not only experience the pleasure of the work "coming out of the shell", but also feel the special charm produced by various knife techniques, and some accidental effects can make the work produce new rhyme.
"In the creation of bone carving art, the most meaningful exploration is the use of various knife techniques, which appropriately reflect our creative intentions. An elderly tourist also spoke.
He had no interest in these knick-knacks, although he appreciated them. What is more interesting is the old man's knife technique. He had learned about this before. It's a pity that at his age, if he wants to learn something, he is also powerless, so he often tells young people: Whatever you want to learn, you have to be young!
If he could, he wanted this old man to carve a large ornament, and the material was out for him. It's all ordinary material, he thinks. Since you want to collect, you have to make a good one.
"This can't be some ancestral sword technique, right?" someone wondered.
They don't know much about this, but they also vaguely know that they are chefs, carvers and other professions. They are all very particular about knife techniques, and many of them are ancient knife techniques that have been passed down.
"Hehe! I'll have to ask the old man. ”
Knife technique is like the brushstrokes in calligraphy and painting, which can play a role in strengthening and enriching the artistic effect of the work. The reason why the beautiful brushstrokes are formed is that the technique has reached the level of mastery. There are often people who find it most difficult to copy a good painting than the brushstrokes. Because brushstrokes are the product of the combination of the author's mind and skill, it is something that is difficult to embody in any imitation.
Therefore, only by mastering the skills and constantly accumulating experience can you achieve the ideal and truly belong to your own knife technique. The wood grain and carvings, smooth and rough, concave and convex, arranged with a round knife. Flat knife cutting ...... The charm of the artistic language they represent is unattainable by sculptures of other materials.
When you look at it, you can see that the general outline of a work has come out.
"That's fast!" exclaimed the onlookers.
"They are all highly skilled people, confident, and naturally smooth in their strokes. The old tourist laughed. He still has this bit of eyesight, and he is also slightly shocked in his heart, he didn't expect to meet a superb carver here.
In the past, he had observed some master carvings, and he felt that he was not as powerful as this old man. The carving knife in the hand of the person did not stop, his eyes stared at the material, and the whole world was left with only the material in his hand, which was a transcendent realm.
The general outline of the main frame has come out, and it is necessary to shape it on this basis. The shape can be carved by trapping the ground, adding the original contour line to the outside of the pattern and deeply concave it. The pattern is layered, concave and convex, presenting a relief effect, and has a strong three-dimensional sense. The original notch at one end of the bone is deepened and modified to make the notch more rounded and natural.
After another ten minutes, Lao Suo changed to a peach-shaped carving knife for light work, the surface of the peach-shaped carving knife is smooth, and the skin can be ground off when light work, without destroying the original shape. It is necessary to go through the entire modeling surface and groove line, so that the whole main frame is smooth and bright after light activation.
Next, there is the "dot work", which can be used to carve shallower and wider lines and dots with a flat surface of the round-tipped carving knife.
"Okay?" everyone's eyes lit up, and they felt that a work was about to come out.
"After a while, it should be about the same. The old man replied for the old man. The general process, he knows.
After a while, Lao Suo finally carved out the finished product and exhaled heavily. It took him about twenty minutes to carve this thing. During this time, it was a high concentration of the mind.
"Girl, do you see that you are satisfied?" he laughed.
The female tourist took it, looked at it, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it, and gave the money very happily...... These handicrafts are also purchased online a lot, and they are also exquisitely made, and the price may be a little cheaper. However, watching others make it by hand, I feel that the meaning is not very different.
"Business is good!" Wei Hang said with a smile.
The old man noticed Wei Hang, was stunned for a moment, and then smiled.
"Thanks to my brother's guidance, this place in Tangjia Village is really good. "He's going to come here and set up a stall in the future, it's a paradise compared to the streets of the town.
"Old man, I want to carve one myself, and I'll pay for the money, if you can, just give me a little guidance. "A tourist asks for something different.
Hearing this, Wei Hang couldn't cry or laugh, people now really like to engage in specialization. For some, it's hands-on. It may not be pretty, but for them, it means a lot.
Lao Suo is also refreshing, carving is not clear in a few words, and he is not afraid of being stolen, anyway, it is all about making money, it doesn't matter!
"Okay, come on! ”
The young man was very pleased with the old man's promise, and immediately picked up a bone. Then I did it, and I already had something in mind to carve it.
He is also self-aware, and he is not prepared to carve something too complicated, which is a radish.
"That's what you need to do with a knife. Lao Su immediately corrected.
He taught the young man a common knife technique, including how to hold the knife, carry the knife, retract the knife, and so on. This is more particular, and you can try to avoid the damage caused by some mistakes to the work.
The turns, setbacks, concave and convex, and ups and downs of the knife are all to make the work more vivid and natural, so as to fully reflect the material beauty of bone carving and reflect the rich carving beauty.
"Yes. Be bold and think about it, and then cut out the rough shape. At first, don't be too careful. He taught.
People who don't know the true meaning of bone carving art. When using a knife, it is not a knife to write, but to draw and contrived, and then timid for fear of carving, the result of the knife is rigid and ingenious. Can't carve the fun of bone carving. Therefore, it is necessary to carve more, practice more, ponder more, and become familiar and perfect in order to form your own artistic language and artistic style.
Hearing the affirmation of the professionals, the young man's courage was magnified a lot. The knife was also a little more ruthless, and I found that it was getting more and more comfortable.
"Ouch! that's cool!" the guy inadvertently glowed with joy.
However, joy begets sorrow!
What an ouch this time!
I saw that he was careless, so he cut off a piece of the side of the radish, and everyone was speechless. The guy smiled, looked at Lao Suo, stopped, and was at a loss.
The people who were with him teased: "Cool, right? hehe!"
"This ...... Can I cut off the top one, or carve a trumpet with the bottom one?" he asked, a little apprehensive.
"Yes, this is a plan, and you can also carve tooth marks on this piece, that is, the bitten radish, which is also very good. Lao Su laughed.
Young people, you have to make some mistakes, it doesn't matter. Moreover, it is also the first time for people to play, so they can't blame anything.
Hearing this flexible change, everyone nodded secretly, Lao Suo's construction was better. Is this kind of work considered the incomplete beauty of art legends?
"This is good, this is good!" the guy was also very excited.
However, the "bitten" gap is not easy to carve, and maybe, when the time comes, the old man will have to draw a knife to help.
Lao Suo also took the trouble to patiently correct some common-sense mistakes. Not long after, a work is freshly baked, and the heat lacks strictness, but in the eyes of outsiders, it is already quite good.
"Don't look for it, master, what you just taught is more than that. The young man gave a hundred.
A hundred pieces teach to carve a piece, for them, it is definitely not expensive. In the city, some extracurricular tutoring, an hour is hundreds of yuan, and I don't feel that there is no sense of accomplishment, and the harvest is not so big.
"That'...... Then thank you, little brother. The wrinkles on Lao Suo's face widened.
It seems that it is faster to make money in this way than to do it yourself! He did not refuse, and now he is indeed short of money, and his youngest son is ready to get married. In rural areas, when you get married, you basically have to separate your family. If your parents are able, try to build them a new house.
"Big brother, the radish you carved is not as good-looking as Xiaoyi. ”
At this time, Lao Suo's little grandson said a word, which made the originally proud guy suddenly embarrassed.
In order to prove it, he also took out a very small turtle: "Look, this is made by Xiaoyi." Grandpa said it was good-looking. ”
Lao Suo hurriedly grabbed the little guy and smiled bitterly in his heart: Don't show off! Isn't this a slap in the face?
"Tong Yan Wu Ji, Tong Yan Wu Ji! Forgive me!" he quickly apologized.
"Well, my craft is a little worse, but I'm satisfied. The man said helplessly, and did not blame others for revealing the shortcomings. There is no need to worry about children, besides, people are also telling the truth, this is also the nature of children, not fake, more likeable.
Others laughed, and then, many people did the same, and they all made appointments. (To be continued......)
