A little lacquer products, overnight into the major markets, as if a game of chess laid out in advance, played the original market tends to stabilize the ancient ink industry by surprise.

Cao Gongsu in Shanghai, Deyi Pavilion in Jingbei and Cangyan Room and other famous ink manufacturers are quickly collecting various indicators, prices and consumer groups of a little lacquer. These, under the management of Ouyang Guoqing, there is a professional team responsible for production, transportation, marketing and other links, so there is no need for Zhong Yue, the shopkeeper, to do anything.

The employees in some companies even subconsciously thought that their boss was Ouyang Guoqing. Two hours in the afternoon, coming out of Cao Danqing's studio, Zhong Yue still gained a lot. Now Cao Danqing is not teaching him composition or painting, but only teaching some of the most basic techniques.

For example, it is not easy to get started, and it is even more difficult to learn the essence. For people with mediocre qualifications, this teaching is undoubtedly unworkable. Cao Danqing was only tentative at first, if Zhong Yue couldn't learn something, he might have to change the teaching method, but he didn't expect Zhong Yue to comprehend it so quickly, he was surprised, but after thinking about it, he was also relieved.

People have a good foundation in calligraphy, calligraphy and painting are interconnected, and draw inferences from one another, which was originally the reason for choosing Zhong Yue at the beginning, but now that this idea has come true, I am more happy than surprised.

After returning from Cao Danqing's studio, Zhong Yue did not return to school. In the past, there were occasional phone calls from the teacher and asked Zhong Yue to return to school for credits and usual points, but after the last exhibition was delivered, Zhong Yue received a text message from Kang Min.

"Do what you love to do. ”

This...... It should be regarded as a free-range release. Kang Min couldn't suppress the old professors before, and he was busy with Zhong Yue's studies, but now because of this art exhibition, the gorgeous Chinese painting department suddenly became calm.

Zhong Yue is not at the level of a freshman at all!

Compared with other works in this exhibition, Zhong Yue's "Gou Huang Shi Tu" is a real dragon head...... As for the rest, it's a bit of a dragon head and a snake's tail.

Zhong Yue entered the penmanship system. Now every day when he comes back from Cao Danqing, he has to enter the [Xu Wei Splash Ink Freehand Painting] to verify and refer to it. The previous brushwork or painting system was taught by a generation of people personally, but Xu Wenchang was a ghost, and the painting system left behind was also obtained by Zhong Yue through the plot task, which is a bit strange and special, this is a silent world in most cases, combined with some of the techniques taught by Cao Danqing, the combination of the two complements each other, Zhong Yue also found that in just over half a month, the proficiency has increased from three percent to sixteen percent, although it is slow, but it is much stronger than standing still.

There are a lot of brushstrokes, and now Zhong Yue feels more and more that time is not enough. In the past, I used to learn lacquer books with Jin Nong, or I studied Xiaokai with Wen Zhengming, which was compulsory for two hours a day, but now I ...... If the arrangement is full, Xu Wei is here for two hours, Zheng Banqiao is also two hours there, and Wang Xun is here for two hours, six hours of high-intensity training a day, plus observing the Yongzi Eight Methods, Zhong Yue feels that his whole head is about to explode.

It was really tiring to be multitasking, so Zhong Yue also adjusted it. After going to Cao Danqing's place, he spent half an hour to consolidate and confirm Xu Wei's ink painting method, and Wang Xun's cultivation time was also shortened to one hour, after all, two hours in a row was really too exhausting.

As for Zheng Xie, who is good with Jin Nong's brothers, Zhong Yue can only say that he is fateful. When I'm in a good mood, I go to listen to it, and I don't go if I feel too tired, because my painting skills are not very mature, except for gongbi painting, the rest of the painting skills are still in the learning stage.

Zheng Xie's orchid and bamboo painting method, to put it bluntly, is only limited to flower and bird painting, and his landscapes and characters are not brilliant.

The streets and alleys of Yangzhou are bustling with activity. Zhong Yue came over this time, but he didn't see Jin Nong, only saw Zheng Xie carrying a book basket on his back, standing at the gate of the city, waiting for Zhong Yue's arrival.

"Mr. Itabashi, what are you doing here?"

Zheng Xie put his hands in his sleeves and said with a smile: "You come with me." ”

The two of them went out of the city, Zhong Yue had not learned to paint bamboo with Zheng Xie before, first, there was no time, and secondly, the foundation was not laid, Zheng Xie originally planned to teach him these basic painting methods, but since Zhong Yue had a better teacher, he naturally chose to follow. After all, the madman Xu Wei can be included in the top ten painters in China, but Zheng Xie cannot.

The ancient city wall is not as square and neat as seen in the TV series. Yangzhou is already a rich place in the south of the Yangtze River, but even in such a big city, the city walls that Zhong Yue saw were still pitted, not the kind of majestic feeling that was poured out.

"Mr. Itabashi, are we going far? better go faster. Zhong Yue didn't know where Zheng Xie was going to take him, but two hours were spent on traveling, Zhong Yue felt that it would be better to wait for the next time he logged in again, and directly generate the corresponding scene, so as not to travel for two hours, and before he could say anything, this exchange would be over.

Zheng Xie said: "It's not far, it's coming soon." ”

The two of them walked across the bridge to a small hill.

"I often come here here, and I brought you here today to teach you how to draw bamboo. ”

"Mr. Itabashi also has a few bamboos planted behind his house, why do you want to go far?"

Zheng Xie said with a smile: "There is a family bamboo behind the house, and there is a wild bamboo outside the forest, which is different." ”

Zhong Yue looked at the wild bamboo forest, growing like crazy. In addition to the mentality, the most difficult thing to grasp is how to do it without chaos. Chinese painting pays attention to artistic conception, many things, are used to concise and concise brushstrokes, a bit like the Western Impression School, but there are surprises, but painting bamboo is not, the bamboo leaves are narrow at both ends and wide in the middle, and the most essential place to paint bamboo is to paint bamboo leaves.

"Zhong Yue, how many bamboo leaves are there in a bamboo forest?"

"This ...... Mr. Itabashi, this is making things difficult for my fat tiger. ”

"Fat Tiger, who is Fat Tiger?"

Zhong Yue laughed, "No, Fat Tiger is my nickname." ”

Zheng Xie came back and said: "Yes, no one can know how many bamboo leaves there are in this bamboo forest, even if you really count them piece by piece, the wind blows and falls, and there should be no way to find them." I've been painting bamboo for thirty or forty years before I realized a truth. ”

"Please give me some advice. ”

"De-complexity and simplification. ”

Zhong Yue said: "Just draw less?"

Zheng Xie nodded, "yes." ”

Zhong Yue sat on the stone and said, "Is this difficult?"

"Difficult. I have been thinking about this question for 30 years. ”

Some things are easy to say, but to really put them into practice, just like Zheng Banqiao painting bamboo, a problem has bothered him for 30 years.

Redundant and thin, painting to raw is cooked.
