Chapter 248: Painting and Selling Paintings (Subscription Requested)
The way Su Wenxin thought of making money was actually to sell paintings.
But because she is not famous at all, even if her painting is good, it is not worth a few dollars, so she plans to imitate it.
Since you want to make money, it is best to imitate the works of celebrities, Su Wenxin chose Tang Bohu, because his paintings are more valuable.
When Su Wenxin was in ancient times, he once studied painting with Tang Bohu, a genius, a weirdo, and his painting skills were among the best.
The two hit it off at first sight, Su Wenxin had lived in the Peach Blossom Nunnery for a period of time, had observed Tang Bohu's creative process, and had a better understanding of Tang Bohu's style and habits.
Later, Su Wenxin concentrated on studying for a period of time, and it can be said that he has surpassed Tang Bohu in the realm.
But even so, she still had to take advantage of his fame.
"Brother Tang, I'm sorry, brother, I will use your fame this time, but I will never embarrass you, and don't blame me if you are underground. ”
Su Wenxin thought, after preparing the things to be applied, and then locked himself in the room to paint.
Since she shot once, she naturally couldn't be too small, Su Wenxin decided to come to a big one, she wanted to paint all the West Lake back then.
Separated by hundreds of years, it can be said that the vicissitudes of life, the beautiful scenery of the West Lake is unparalleled, and people think that the West Lake is beautiful, but Su Wenxin knows that she has changed.
For this painting, Su Wenxin spent three days, striving for the same style as Tang Yin.
In the painting, Su Wenxin shows a trace of sorrow, which is exactly in line with Tang Yin's bumpy life.
The painting is there, and the inscriptions and seals on it all need to be copied by Su Wenxin one by one.
Su Wenxin personally engraved the seals of past collectors, then stamped them in order and then framed them.
After all this is done, only one last process remains, which is to make it old.
Doing old is a meticulous job, even more difficult than Su Wenxin's painting, whether it is paper or pen and ink, no one can see the flaws.
Su Wenxin made it very carefully, and generally the paintings she made, except for the use of carbon 14 to detect them, ordinary people could not find out that they were fake.
It took Su Wenxin nearly a month to complete this painting.
These days, Su Wenxin locks himself in his room every day, and he doesn't come out except for eating, and Su Ming only says that she wants to recuperate, and Su Ming doesn't think much about it.
Looking at the painting in front of her, Su Wenxin was very satisfied, she felt that her painting was better than Tang Bohu's, but she was not famous.
With this painting, it is definitely not possible to go out and sell it directly, Su Wenxin still has the next step.
If you want to sell paintings, the best place is the antique market, and the most famous antique market in China is only the glaze factory in Beijing.
If you want to talk about the glass factory, it is a legendary place.
Gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times, after the reform and opening up, the glaze factory has been on fire for a while.
Since she wants to sell paintings, Su Wenxin naturally won't show her true face, she once again used disguise techniques to dress herself up as a middle-aged woman in the countryside.
Since it was already late autumn, the lights in the capital were very large, and people who were full of wind and sand couldn't open their eyes.
Su Wenxin held the painting and squatted in a sheltered corner of the Liuli Factory, she was not in a hurry to sell her paintings, because her paintings were not sold by everyone.
On the first day, because the weather was bad, there were no people on the street, and Su Wenxin was just familiar with the surrounding environment.
The next day, the weather was good, and there were obviously more people who came out, most of them just watched and didn't buy, but no one asked Su Wenxin.
On the third day, Su Wenxin came again, holding the painting, still squatting in the corner, but at this time someone had already noticed her.
It was about eight o'clock in the morning, and a man came out of a nearby antique shop, looking about thirty years old, playing with two walnuts in his hand, and he looked very rich.
"Big sister, I see you've been here for a few days, do you have something to sell?"
Su Wenxin looked up when he heard this, and then said in a Dengzhou native dialect: "Yes, big brother, do you want to take a look?"
After Su Wenxin finished speaking, the man didn't hear clearly, Su Wenxin said it again, and the man heard it clearly.
"Hehe, okay, come on, come and sit in my store first, it's going to change these days, and it's really a little cold outside. ”
After the man finished speaking, Su Wenxin did not move, but looked at the other party vigilantly.
"Hey, big girl, why do you think of me like this, you don't think I'm a bad person, right?
I've been here for more than 10 years, and I've been here since I was in my twenties, you can go and inquire, and my business on Wednesday is absolutely genuine, and I'm not bullied!"
After saying it on Wednesday, Su Wenxin sneered in his heart, the goods in the antique shop are genuine, do you have so many goods?
If you don't play a little cautious in this business, you will starve to death.
In the antique market, it can be said that ninety percent of them are fakes, and if you want to pick up a leak, you have to be prepared to make an eye.
Su Wenxin knew it in her heart, but she did it on purpose, hesitated, and entered his shop with Wednesday.
The Wednesday shop is not big, and the outside is only thirty or forty square meters, but there is still space inside, which should be used to entertain distinguished guests.
Wednesday asked Su Wenxin to sit down, then poured her a glass of water, and said with a smile: "How about it, my shop is good, this is passed down by my grandfather, and I am already the fourth generation." ”
Listening to Wednesday's words, Su Wenxin looked up and looked around, only to see all kinds of antiques on the shelves, all ages, but I don't know how many of them are real.
"I see why you guys are all bottles, so do you collect paintings?"
Su Wenxin was obviously holding the painting in her arms, and she had already called her in on Wednesday, and she also asked knowingly, just to create an illusion on Wednesday.
"Accept it, why don't you accept it, but I have to look at the goods first. ”
After Wednesday finished speaking, Su Wenxin hesitated for a moment, then took out the painting in his arms, opened it carefully, and spread it on the table.
"You are only allowed to look at it but not to touch it, this is our family's ancestral, my grandfather said that this painting can be changed to a big house." ”
After Su Wenxin finished speaking, he pretended to look very yearning, but Wednesday's attention had been attracted by the painting.
When Wednesday saw the painting for the first time, his heart pounded uncontrollably.
Tang Bohu's painting is still so large, if this is true, it is worth the old money!
Wednesday resisted the excitement in his heart, took out gloves and magnifying glasses from his pocket, and then carefully observed.
From the first time I saw the painting on Wednesday, I thought it was a wide open door, but he wasn't sure yet.
Seeing Wednesday so serious, Su Wenxin knew in her heart that her plan was already halfway through.
But she deliberately acted nervous and followed Wednesday to look at the painting together.
After about ten minutes, Wednesday straightened up and sighed.
"It's a good painting, but unfortunately it's not true, if you want to sell it, I'll take two thousand yuan. ”
After Wednesday finished speaking, Su Wenxin jumped up and said, "How is this possible, I have asked someone, this is Tang Bohu's painting, and my grandfather said that he can change to a big house!"
If you don't know the goods, then I'll go to another house, and I'll point to this painting to change my son's house!"
After Su Wenxin finished speaking, she put away the painting and wanted to leave, but just as Su Wenxin was about to walk out of the door, Wednesday suddenly stopped her.
"Wait a minute, big girl, you see if this will work.
I don't like this painting well, I'm going to ask a master to give me a palm, what do you think?"
