Chapter 9 On Painting

"Alright, Professor. Which way to turn on the lights?"

"Open them all! Open them all! and don't burn your appliances!" Professor Wei stomped his foot impatiently.

When the light was turned on, Professor Wei held Pu'er, hunched his waist, and carefully began to examine Li Tong's work from beginning to end......

"What? Li Tong has changed his paintings?" Professor Qu was a little surprised when he heard Bai Mengting finish what he had heard on the road.

This temporary change of painting is the same as the temporary change of commander, which is the most important.

Many students are under pressure to participate in the exhibition and do not have confidence in themselves, so it is not uncommon for them to change their paintings before submitting their works.

Professor Qu himself is the most disagreeable with this approach.

"However, his painting ......," Bai Mengting continued, "I think it is too much beyond his previous level, maybe he has a master behind him." ”

Professor Qu didn't think much when he heard this, "Hmph, Wei Qun's students, no matter how high their attainments are, where can they go? This is also called pulling generals from the short man, the quality of the students in these years is too poor, and Li Tong has just come to the fore." If you want to change when I was young, where will he still have his place?"

This Professor Qu and Professor Wei are really a pair of good friends, and when they see excellent students, they like to compare them with when they were young, and they still think that they are better and better when they are young!

This may be a common problem for teachers.

"Professor, his painting is really good!" Bai Mengting said, "I think he won the award at this year's art exhibition." ”

Professor Qu glanced at her a little unhappily, "Do you continue to say yes? You praise Wei Qun's students so much, do you want to take advantage of my bad legs and feet to anger me?"

Bai Mengting knew that Professor Qu was a dead duck with a hard mouth, but in fact, Li Tong was also very concerned about this exhibition. She guessed that after a while, Professor Qu would be tempted to sneak into Professor Wei's studio to look at the paintings.

Sure enough!

Professor Qu stretched and said, "Oh, the sun is good in the morning! Mengting, why don't you push me out for a walk." I don't have good legs and feet, so I need to bask in the sun to supplement calcium. ”

Bai Mengting pursed her lips and held back a smile, dragged out of the wheelchair, she searched, and after a while, Professor Qu went downstairs and went in the direction of Professor Wei's studio.

Then when he went downstairs to Professor Wei's studio, he would say to Bai Mengting: "Oh, it's all here, you just push me up to see if the old guy surnamed Wei is still alive and jumping?"

That's the routine!

For so many years, Professor Qu has used this routine to run shamelessly to Professor Wei's studio.

Then Professor Wei's reason for going to see Professor Qu is even more exaggerated, once Professor Wei took Li Tong to see Professor Qu, and actually said that he wanted to go to see if the wall of Lao Qu's studio had collapsed?

Come on!

The buildings of the Academy of Fine Arts are all reinforced concrete structures, and the raw materials are all leftover from the construction of the Great Hall.

The sky is falling, and the walls of the Academy of Fine Arts can't collapse.

When Professor Qu came to Li Tong's studio, Professor Wei had been hunched over and staring at the painting with a magnifying glass for more than 40 minutes!

He didn't blink much during this time, he really couldn't believe that this was actually a work drawn by his own students!

It's perfect!

Li Tong's painting has changed the way of drawing shadows and contour lines, in this painting there are no very clear shadows, nor can you see prominent or flat outline lines, but the picture is so three-dimensional, every lotus leaf seems to jump in front of you.

Incredible, incredible!

Professor Qu was about to have a seizure when he saw that Professor Wei was ignoring him again, and his eyes were suddenly attracted by the painting that Lao Wei was looking at.

This is......?

Professor Qu was startled, then rushed forward with the wheels of the wheelchair with both hands, snatched the magnifying glass from Professor Wei's hand, and began to study.

"What are you doing?" Professor Wei was obviously upset when he was disturbed by someone admiring such a beautiful painting.

"Let me see it too. ”

Professor Qu also picked up a magnifying glass and studied it, such a large painting, the author actually completed it with small brushstrokes, if it was an ordinary person, the picture would be very messy, but this person's treatment method is so chaotic. The brushstrokes are like beating notes, laying out a harmonious movement on the paper.

So beautiful!

Professor Qu was surprised, where did Professor Wei get such a precious painting.

Seeing that Professor Qu was studying with a magnifying glass, Professor Wei Qun simply took a few steps back.

Many oil paintings are not suitable for close proximity, but you can see the feeling from a distance.

In fact, even if Professor Qu doesn't come, Professor Wei Qun plans to invite him. He really didn't know how to evaluate this painting, which was completely beyond his personal artistic cultivation.

"Lao Qu, what do you think?" Professor Wei asked.

"Hold back your words!" Professor Qu was holding a magnifying glass and approaching the brushstrokes, so excited that he even spoke in dialects, and he didn't have time to talk to others.

Professor Qu watched for a quarter of an hour before returning the magnifying glass to Professor Wei.

The two looked at each other for a moment, their expressions were silent, and the air of the whole work seemed to be solidified, and it looked very heavy.

The old gun couldn't help but be a little worried, was there something wrong with this painting in the eyes of the two professors?

Bai Mengting was also very surprised, these two old professors usually fart and mess around when they meet together, and it really makes people feel very uncomfortable that they are so serious today.

"Old Qu, why don't you say it first?" Professor Wei looked at Professor Qu.

Although Professor Wei's attainments in oil painting are high, his theoretical research on painting is not as good as that of Professor Qu. Moreover, Professor Qu has been a judge for the past two years and has seen a lot of things.

"Old Wei, this painting ......"

"That's great!"

Before Professor Qu could start commenting, Professor Wei couldn't hold back and spoke his thoughts first.

"Well, it's really good!"

Professor Qu nodded. As for how to make this painting a good way, Professor Qu felt that he could publish a book to explain it.

"Li Tong, can you tell me about the inspiration and intention of your painting?" Professor Wei asked Li Tong curiously. He couldn't believe that he could teach such a good student.

Li Tong was confident, and he didn't feel embarrassed at all in the hour that had just passed.

Impressionist painting is an epoch-making art school in the history of Western painting, which reached its heyday in the seventies and eighties of the 19th century, and its influence spread throughout Europe and gradually spread to all parts of the world.

The painter Monet was the founder of this genre, and "Water Lilies" is his masterpiece. If the two professors couldn't see the painting as good, then they had been in vain all these years.

"I just paint with momentary impressions. ”

Li Tong touched the back of his head and said softly. After all, it is plagiarizing the works of world masters, and Li Tong is still a little embarrassed.

"Great! Really good!"

Professor Wei even took off his glasses and wiped away tears of excitement.

Professor Qu patted Professor Wei on the shoulder, "Old Wei, Li Tong, this kid really gives you a long face." In this way, Li Tong will first take a photo of this work and send it to participate in the national art exhibition. Lao Gun, Mengting, you bring this painting to my studio, and I am going to publish a theoretical book to explain the painting method and aesthetic characteristics of Li Tong's painting. ”

Usually the pre-examination of the national art exhibition is to send photos, after all, there are so many people from all over the country, and it is very unrealistic to send a large number of works to the imperial capital. However, not every entry has a painting criticism, and many contestants will spend a lot of money to ask someone with status in the art circle to write a painting review before the competition, so as to raise their value.

Professor Qu's painting review was once fried to 100,000 yuan a piece. But Professor Qu never answered.

Today, he took the initiative to write a painting review for Li Tong, which is very rare.
