Song Yi felt that Jiang Huijia's painting style was unique, because in modern times, some light and shadow concepts of Western sketches and oil paintings were introduced to the East, which influenced the perception of space and light by many Chinese painting painters, thus making Chinese painting derive a new development direction.

This is even more evident in the aspect of gongbi.

To put it simply, the ancient Gongbi paintings were more flat, while the modern Gongbi paintings were more three-dimensional.

Although Gongbi is still Gongbi, because of the increased processing of the distance of space and the light and shade, modern Gongbi painting is undoubtedly more realistic and vivid.

Of course, there are always gains and losses, and in Jiang Huijia's view, modern gongbi is always slightly inferior in terms of classical charm compared to ancient gongbi.

Song Yi said: "Although the lady's painting is only a line drawing, it is very vivid. ”

Jiang Huijia has long been accustomed to the treatment of distance and proximity of space, and respects the principles of near reality and far fiction, near big and far small, when painting. She also pays attention to the difference in posture between flowers and leaves, the staggered height of the leaves, the curls of the leaves when the wind swings the lotus leaves, and the half-spread cheeks and flying dragonflies when the lotus first appears, and so on.

She draws with a lot of interest.

Maybe it's a bit worse to pay attention to the artistic conception, but even for such a common subject, because of the different painting methods, this line drawing is enough to make people shine.

As the saying goes, the first to compare beauty to flowers is a genius, the second to compare beauty to flowers is a mediocre, and the third to compare a beauty to a flower is a fool.

Although not all "third people" are stupid, all "first people" must be geniuses!

Jiang Huijia underestimated the value of her paintings, and in her opinion, she just painted an ordinary summer lotus picture that has been very common since ancient times. But she ignored that in this Dajing Dynasty, where painting skills were still stuck in the plane era, she had unknowingly become the "first person"!

Song Yi also looked at Jiang Huijia's paintings, the more he noticed the difference.

He had strange thoughts in his heart, but these thoughts were so secret and unspeakable that even he did not dare to think deeply.

Jiang Huijia said: "I have seen some other people's paintings, and I always feel that they are slightly different from the real scene, so I have pondered for a long time and think that this painting is better." ”

She's explaining why her approach is different.

In her opinion, this is a common thing.

Even if it is the same Chinese painting and the same gongbi, there are countless genres from ancient times to the present. A good painter always has his own style and paints his own characteristics.

For example, Gu Kaizhi's painting is intended to convey the spirit, Zhan Ziqian's painting is particularly detailed, Yan Liben's painting is the most refined and similar, and so on.

Of course, Jiang Huijia's level cannot be compared with these figures who have been brilliant in the entire history of China, but the reason is the same.

So she doesn't feel out of place.

What's more, ancient Chinese painting is not completely devoid of the concept of space. The Sui Dynasty painter Zhan Ziqian's "Spring Tour" was praised by the later "Xuanhe Painting": "It is especially important to write about the distance and proximity of the country, so it is interesting to have a thousand miles away." ”

The history of the Dajing Dynasty began to be distorted after the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty, including the historical figures and events before the Tang Dynasty, is completely consistent with the ancient China where Jiang Huijia once lived. She thought that there were so many examples of sages, and she was nothing at all.

Song Yi's eyes flashed with deep thought, he didn't say anything, just praised: "At the beginning of painting, the first thing is to observe carefully, the lady has a heart, and nothing is bad." ”

As she spoke, Jiang Huijia had already begun to color the line drawing.

She uses the method of paving and dyeing, layering the color to achieve a clearer three-dimensional effect.

According to the principle of light and shadow in Western sketching, she not only pays attention to light and shade when coloring, but also adds a treatment of the gray side of things.

Under her layers of coloring, this Xia He picture gradually became fuller and clearer.

Large lotus leaves spread out, dark green, light green, gray green, light green, dark green...... The last time on the drawing paper, after her skillful coloring, these lotus leaves seem to be coming to life!

In the infinite green, a few points of light red, a dragonfly flew in, standing on top of the small lotus.

Song Yi's heart trembled slightly, he looked at Jiang Huijia deeply, and couldn't help but have questions.

How did an ordinary merchant's daughter come to practice such a one-handed painting skill?

Jiang Huijia regarded it as an ordinary painting, but in Song Yi's opinion, it was amazing!

She felt that her paintings might just be more realistic than the ordinary paintings of her time, and that the rest was not surprising. She did not deliberately shy away from the use of spatial techniques, partly because of habit, and secondly, because she wanted to add some character to this "ordinary" painting in order to sell it for a good price.

She forgot that she felt that she was drawing ordinary, and that was because she was looking at things through the eyes of a modern person.

What's more, no matter how she said in her previous life, she had more than 20 years of calligraphy and painting skills, no matter who she was, she insisted on one thing for more than 20 years, and she could be extremely proficient. She may not be able to reach the realm of a master, but her skills have long been perfected.

In modern times, she has not achieved much success in this area, mainly because she has devoted more time and energy to medicine. Calligraphy and painting, on the other hand, are only used to cultivate sentiment and cultivate one's temperament.

Song Yi was shocked in his heart.

Jiang Huijia is usually very cautious, but Song Yi is not an outsider after all. Even if they are only husband and wife in name, they have been sharing the same bed and spending nearly a month together. Song Yi is a delicate person, he didn't think about it before, just because he couldn't think of it. At this time, Jiang Huijia showed obvious flaws, but Song Yi couldn't help but think about it too much.

He had to think about it a lot, but he didn't dare to think deeply, his heart was just tormented up and down, and he couldn't settle for a while.

Jiang Huijia didn't realize that she would have to paint some complicated large paintings for several days, but such a simple Xia He picture, she only spent more than half an hour to paint it.

She inscribed next to her: "The little lotus has only shown its sharp corners, and a dragonfly has already stood on its head." ”

After the inscription was good, she said distressedly: "Oh, I don't have a seal!", and then said, "But it doesn't matter, after all, it is only to make embroidery manuscripts to sell, and it is not good to use the seal inscription." ”

She laughed, looked at the painting carefully, and felt that although it was separated by two time and space in the past and present life, the level of her painting had not decreased.

"San Lang!" Jiang Huijia raised the painting slightly and looked sideways at Song Yi, "What do you think?"

She smiled like a flower, and although she asked if she could see it, she obviously had a little smugness in her eyes.

Today is sunny again, and the shredded sunlight falls from the shade of a tree in the corner of the courtyard, shining on her white cheeks, and reflecting the brilliance in her apricot eyes. It's like a beautiful note from another world, a beautiful picture.

Song Yi's heart suddenly trembled, like waking up from a dream.
