Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Lin Xiao has been studying at the South China Academy of Fine Arts for a few months.

Mr. Lu was very happy to see Lin Xiao's progress, and the domestic art competition was approaching, Mr. Lu called Lin Xiao to his studio and said earnestly:

"Lin Xiao, you have been with me for a few months, I have indeed seen your growth, now, talk about your understanding of Chinese landscape painting. ”

"Chinese landscape painting pays attention to artistic conception, and it must be readable and story-telling. The picture should present a scene with connotation and theme, so that the viewer can travel and reverie with the picture, giving people an immersive feeling. Lin Xiao replied seriously.

Teacher Lu nodded and said:

Mr. Pan Tianshou, a master of Chinese painting, once said: Chinese painting has always emphasized rhyme, artistic conception and style, and like Chinese poetry, it relies on mind, knowledge and cultivation. If a reader looks at a picture or reads a poem, he can also improve and gain in his mind and learning, which plays a very good role. Good paintings and good poems can make people free from the shackles of fame and fortune. ”

Lin Xiao listened carefully and took notes.

"You have a good understanding, keep it up, don't be proud. Teacher Lu praised.

Lin Xiao replied:

"Thank you Mr. Lu for your encouragement, I will definitely make persistent efforts!"

"An excellent painter should form his own style, which is not to be forced, but to combine his various cultivations, which is natural and natural. This style must make people love it, and they will want to see it later. "Mr. Lu elicits important thoughts.

Lin Xiao was fascinated by what she heard and asked:

"Mr. Lu, there are many styles and schools of Chinese painting now, how should I choose?"

Teacher Lu smiled:

"You have a lot of advantages, there is a lot of room to choose from, the most important thing is to look at your own inner pursuit, I only guide, and do not intervene too much, you have to break out of the cocoon into a butterfly. ”

"Okay, I'll calm down and think about it!" Lin Xiao said.

"Art must take the beauty of reality as the source of creation, and after your inner processing and sublimation, present the artistic conception you are pursuing, combined with your own cultivation, so as to form your own style. Teacher Lu said, "Find time to go out and have a look, write sketches, and prepare well, the domestic art competition is about to start." ”

"Understood!Thank you, Mr. Lu!" Lin Xiao stood up and said excitedly.

……

Walking out of Mr. Lu's studio, Lin Xiao went straight to his studio, pondered Mr. Lu's teachings, picked up the paintbrush, and sketched his dream......

At this time, Xue Bing called, Lin Xiao said that he was painting in the studio, Xue Bing asked to come and watch, and Lin Xiao readily agreed.

Lin Xiao put down her phone and started drawing, very devoted. Xue Bing sneaked into the studio, but Lin Xiao didn't notice it.

Lin Xiao painted the quiet mountains and rivers that she pursued in her heart, although they were not majestic and magnificent, but they were soothing and soft, like a dream......

Lin Xiao was fascinated by painting, and Xue Bing was fascinated by it.

Finally finished painting, Lin Xiao picked up her mobile phone to look at the time, and then turned around to see Xue Bing, stunned.

Xue Bing laughed:

"Lin Xiao, you are so handsome when you paint!"

"When did you come?" why didn't I know?" Lin Xiao asked, embarrassed, and her face turned red.

"It's been a long time! Seeing that you are so attentive, I don't dare to disturb, so I sneak a peek behind you!" Xue Bing finished speaking, grimacing playfully.

"Okay! Your secrets have all been peeked at by you!" Lin Xiao said helplessly.

"It's just a peek, what can you do?" Xue Bingle said.

"What do I dare to do with you? Miss Qianjin!" Lin Xiao was also happy.

"This painting you painted is really different, I like it very much!" Xue Bing looked at Lin Xiao's work again and praised it.

"It's just a prototype, I'm not satisfied yet, I need to go out into nature and absorb the essence of nature. Do you have free time this weekend? I want to go out sketching. Lin Xiao said.

"Okay, I'm free!, where can I go to sketch?" Xue Bing said excitedly.

"Fairy Lake Botanical Garden, there are mountains and rivers, and there are all kinds of plants, and the environment is very good!" Lin Xiao said with a smile.

"Great, let's go together!" Xue Bing jumped.

……

When the weekend came, Lin Xiao took Xue Bing to the Fairy Lake Botanical Garden.

Far away from the city, it is sparsely populated, rippling blue waves, fragrant grass, lush vegetation, nameless hills, secluded streams, and smoky, like a dream, like a fairyland.

After finding a good spot, the two stopped, placed the drawing board, prepared the paint, and began to sketch.

People in the world, in order to live, many people say insincere words and do things that they can't help themselves. Will you become like that one day?

Impetuous and noisy life, the heart is struggling to pursue a quiet, peaceful, and fascinating spiritual world.

Looking up at the hill in the distance and looking down at the blue water, he suddenly had an inspiration.

Draw a landscape imagined in your heart, an understanding of nature, an understanding of life, close to nature, close to life, but detached from life. You can't go against the true state of your heart in order to catch up with the trend. In the social background and living environment, he expresses his inner understanding of landscape and art.

To create a personal artistic language, a new artistic concept: completely contrary to the traditional order from the part to the whole, but a process from the surface to the point, first to create a big atmosphere, and then gradually to find the details. The details and images in the picture are only a generalized and hazy appearance at first, and then gradually refined according to the information and status fed back from the picture.

Only on this basis can we truly inherit the essence of the tradition and re-examine the status and value of "landscape painting" in the contemporary era from today's standpoint and perspective.

After the sketching, Lin Xiao and Xue Bing visited the entire Fairy Lake Botanical Garden together, intoxicated physically and mentally.

After returning, Lin Xiao eagerly went to the Chinese painting studio of the Academy of Fine Arts and began to create his new work, the unnamed landscape.

At first, there was no ready-made method and schema, so I spread out the rice paper, looked at a photo of the Fairy Lake Botanical Garden, and under its influence, I first determined a piece of blue, and then began to draw down this color and feeling, and then continued this feeling, slowly enriched, groped, and established spiritual pursuits and goals.

The prototype of the unnamed landscape is based on the unknown hills and streams in Lin Xiao's hometown, and combined with the characteristics of the mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River, the mountains and rivers, trees and animals in it are all taken from his hometown. In his hometown, there are no particularly majestic or beautiful peaks, there are rolling hills and quiet rivers.

On the picture, a few hills, several small trees, pure water, and soft clouds pursue the simplicity of the picture and the purity of the heart. These several natural factors, combined with inner feelings, express a sense of tranquility, birth, and mystery.

In less than a week, the whole work was completed. Lin Xiao showed it to Teacher Lu, and Teacher Lu was overjoyed.

After that, Lin Xiao participated in various national competitions and exhibitions with his "Unnamed Landscape" series of works.

His works participated in the first landscape painting competition in South China and won the first prize;

His works were selected for the National Watercolor and Pastel Exhibition sponsored by the China Artists Association and won the first prize.

Participated in the "National Landscape Painting Competition" sponsored by the China Artists Association, won the gold medal, and his works were collected by the National Art Museum of China, becoming one of the youngest authors of Chinese paintings in the collection of the National Art Museum of China;

In December of the same year, he was selected as the youngest to be selected into the "Second Academic Forum on Contemporary Chinese Painting" held in BJ, which represents the highest academic level of contemporary Chinese painting.

Soon after, Lin Xiao joined the China Artists Association and became the youngest member of the China Artists Association.

Xue Bing also performed well and won many design awards in China.

Both of them have achieved outstanding academic results, and the South China Academy of Fine Arts has given them heavy awards and waived part of their tuition fees.

A real talented woman!

Christmas is coming, this warm and romantic festival, Lin Xiao and Xue Bing all have something to say.
