Chapter 0027: The Storm Rises
Yu Shanchuan looked at the picture sent by Feng Yuanfan, and had the urge to scold his mother. Even if you take it with a mobile phone, it can't be so unclear, just looking at the portraits in this photo, you can hardly distinguish between men and women, let alone see the brushstrokes. But no matter how you look at it, he has only one feeling about this sketch, and that is: ugly!
Own work, well, is your own work. It's really unwilling to lose to such an ugly work. Yu Shanchuan sat on the sofa by himself, leaning his head back on the back of the sofa, his eyes closed, frowning, and his mind racing. He was thinking about the root cause of this strange incident.
After a long time, Yu Shanchuan reopened his eyes, and he felt that the problem this time was Gu Ran, the editor-in-chief.
Gu Ran, born in the University of Arts, is a representative of Western painting in China. He has always made great efforts to promote the popularization of Western painting, which inevitably leads to frequent friction with the Chinese painting camp. Thinking about it, Gu Ran this time is deliberately suppressing his own Chinese paintings. Yu Shanchuan judged and came to such a conclusion based on the information he had. However, Gu Ran did it too casually this time, and instead of seriously choosing a masterpiece of oil painting, he chose a sketch, a sketch drawn by a student, and a sketch drawn by a student.
Thinking of this, Yu Shanchuan smiled, he was glad that Gu Ran was prejudiced against Chinese painting, otherwise, how could he despise his own works so much. This work is not a superficial freehand work, but also contains the traditional techniques that the state vigorously advocates excavation. This technique has been lost for hundreds of years, and in the last decade or so, many well-known artists have been conducting research, but with little success. Based on his own understanding of the boneless method, the announcement of this work will definitely cause a sensation in the Chinese painting camp.
And Gu Ran, just for his own use. According to Feng Yuanfan, his works contain the excavation of traditional techniques, and Gu Ran is aware of it, but he still chooses to drag his feet and stumble, which shows that he may not pay attention to the boneless method, or he may not understand it at all.
This incident was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Shan Chuan, and he decided to take advantage of Gu Ran's omission to raise his attention and influence to a new level, trying to make himself the first person to study the boneless method.
So, Yu Shanchuan, who saw the opportunity, came to the computer full of joy, logged in to his Weibo account, and began to edit:
Friends who know me know that I am a thin-skinned person. Because I was afraid of being laughed at by others, I didn't dare to reveal to my friends that I had studied the boneless method for many years. For this reason, he secretly decided that if his research results could not promote the excavation process of this traditional technique, he would never announce that he was researching it.
Seeing this, friends with a heart should be able to understand what I mean. That's right, after many years, I finally got lucky enough to complete a large-scale freehand flower and bird with the boneless method. Although I have been engaged in the creation of landscape paintings, there is no bone method to use in the theme of flowers and birds, so I have to study flower and bird painting, and here I also invite an artist who specializes in flower and bird painting.
I know that my research on the boneless method is not outstanding, and I can only describe the completion of this work as a clever hand. If you want to make a work that promotes the development of the boneless method again, I don't know when I have to wait, and I have to say that this is a pity. On the one hand, it is my own lack of knowledge, and on the other hand, it also confirms the hardships of discovering traditional techniques.
After selling for a long time, my friends are not in a hurry. Here I still say first, don't worry, the photos of the work have already been prepared, and they will be placed at the end of the article, and if you can't wait, you can pull it down and read it first. If you have patience, please listen to my long-winded words and some experiences related to the work.
For the clumsy work completed by chance, please focus on the painting method of the gourd, where it is a pure boneless method, and it is also an ancient method. This method I came through the study of the originator of boneless flower and bird painting - Xu Chongsi of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Master Xu's boneless method has a good reputation, how can the hand-me-down work almost extinct, can not help but sigh. From some fragments of Master Xu's manuscripts and the words of the history books, after long-term unremitting efforts, I was finally able to use some techniques to express the legendary techniques and integrate them with the freehand.
I was still quite confident in my work, so I submitted it to Art Magazine. The magazine also showed great interest in the clumsy work, and immediately gave the decision to publish it, and also gave the back cover a place. At the same time, I also applied for the Ministry of Culture's Achievement Award for the "Exploring Traditions, Creating the Future" campaign. The leaders of the Ministry of Culture also paid great attention to and supported the work, and directly listed it as an important recommended work.
In addition to the joy, I still feel that both the Ministry of Culture and the magazine have given this honor to encourage the exploration of traditional techniques.
It's time to get down to business, and I've been rambling for a long time, just to say here, the clumsy work will be released in the next issue of "Fine Arts" magazine, please buy more, support more, and recommend more. After you get the next issue of the art magazine, please don't open the inside page immediately after reading the cover, you might as well turn to the back cover and take a look. Haha, finally made the advertisement.
Thank you again for your patience in reading so many words, and I will make persistent efforts to explore the traditional techniques and climb the peak. I strive to win the cover in one fell swoop for the next result, so this time in addition to promoting the clumsy work, I also have a learning attitude towards the cover work of this issue. The clumsy work and the cover work of this issue of "Fine Arts" magazine have been uploaded and listed at the end, so that you can learn together.
Thank you all for your continued support.
After writing these, Yu Shanchuan read them several times from beginning to end and revised individual words in them. After feeling more satisfied, I uploaded the two pictures on my phone.
The gourd picture is Feng Yuanfan, who directly reduced the works of professional photographers in the magazine, and the effect is a bargain. The sketch was secretly taken by Feng Yuanfan with his hands, not only was his hand unstable, but the picture was also a little biased. When the two works are placed together, the contrast is too obvious, and the distinctive features of the two works make this contrast have a strong visual impact. Yu Shanchuan is very satisfied with this impact, and only in this way can he attract more people's attention.
The number of people who pay attention is directly related to the improvement of Yu Shanchuan's popularity, and he only hopes that he can take advantage of Gu Ran's contempt for Chinese painting, and take advantage of Gu Ran's random choice of a sketch to fight, and use this sketch painting, Gu Ran, and even the "Fine Arts" magazine as a stepping stone to realize his gorgeous transformation, and it is best to be able to become a god through this battle, and establish his position in the painting and art world in one fell swoop.
What can status and fame bring? For Shanchuan, it is the soaring of Runge, and a large amount of money will also make young and beautiful girls who don't know how many people take the initiative to take the initiative to embrace them. Yu Shanchuan, who was full of longing for life, couldn't help but fall asleep satisfied, and it was estimated that he could have another beautiful dream.
