Xu Hong looked at the painting he had 'created' again, and felt a bit of 'blue is better than blue'. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Well, this painting is really good, it seems that it is going to be taken outside for others to appreciate, maybe there will be people who know the goods to take a fancy to it, and give themselves a 'sky-high price'!"

Looking at the painting in front of him, Tian Feng had an idea, he wanted to take this painting to a certain park in the suburbs, and just like before, he was in Tiannan City, starting from a wandering painter, maybe he would meet a 'nobleman' again!

"Okay, that's it, it seems that I don't think about Chen Tian anymore, I still think about whether I can meet other 'nobles'!" Xu Hong knows that it will be difficult for a person who has been severely stabbed and agitated mentally to want him to completely return to normal. If you still want to count on Chen Tian to help you, I'm afraid it's useless, and you have to rely on yourself to start from scratch.

After thinking about these things, Xu Hong went to bed again.

It was already more than one o'clock in the morning, Xu Hong also felt a little sleepy, yawned, and then took off his clothes and went to bed.

This night, he slept until nine o'clock in the morning.

Xu Hong had just woken up when he heard a knock on the door.

As soon as the door opened, it was Chen Wei standing at the door.

"Hey, Chen Wei, why didn't you go to work today. Xu Hong rubbed his sleepy eyes, looked at Chen Wei and asked.

Chen Wei looked at Xu Hong and smiled: "Hey! don't mention it." I'm going to the owner's house today to work for someone. But as soon as I entered the door, I saw that the owner of the house was carrying an old man in a Tang costume with a disc in his hand, and I didn't know what it was. ”

"That's a compass, for feng shui. After all, Xu Hong is a college student, and he knows more than Chen Wei, and as soon as he hears what Chen Wei said, he knows what the owner is doing.

"Oh, it's a compass!" Chen Wei repeated curiously. After that, he looked at Xu Hong again and said, "I was looking at them curiously, and as soon as the owner looked back and saw me, he smiled and said to me, 'Xiao Chen, don't decorate the house today, I want to ask this Master Liu to help me see the feng shui of my house, you can come to decorate it tomorrow!' Today, I want to ask Master Liu to design the layout of my house.' I listened to the owner's words, and I could only smile and say, 'Okay, then I'll go back.' So, I had to take the bus back again. ”

Chen Wei looked at Xu Hong and told him about the fact that he had just gone to work and met the landlord looking for someone to look at feng shui.

"Oh, that's right, then you can rest for another day today and work hard tomorrow. Xu Hong listened to Chen Wei's words and comforted him.

At this time, Chen Wei walked to Xu Hong's room again, and he saw Xu Hong's painting on the table again.

"Hey, Xu Hong, why did you paint me another portrait, I just want one, you don't have to paint another one. Chen Wei said, strangely holding the portrait and admiring it for a while.

"It's not for you, it's for me. Xu Hong looked at Chen Wei and said with some embarrassment.

"What, I painted it for yourself, what do you mean, do you want to leave one as a souvenir!" Chen Wei listened to Xu Hong's words, and he didn't understand a little, I don't know why Xu Hong wants to paint another portrait of him, and he is not a beauty, why do you want to paint another one as a souvenir!

"That's right, I want to take your portrait out there to make money! You just happened to come back, and I want to ask for your opinion now, this painting is your portrait, if I take it out and sell it, it will infringe on your portrait rights. You see, if you want me to sell your portrait, and if you don't, I'll have to give up. If you want some money, you can also ask, although I don't have much money, but I still have more than a thousand yuan! I can give it all to you, buy your portrait dissemination rights, what do you think? ”

Xu Hong is a professional painter and a graduate of an authentic famous art academy, and he knows too much about the issue of portrait rights in his paintings. Therefore, if he wants to sell Chen Wei's portrait, he must ask for his opinion, otherwise, he will be considered to have done something illegal.

As soon as Chen Wei heard Xu Hong's words, he laughed out loud and said: "Haha! Xu Hong, can you sell it if you want to? What kind of portrait rights do you want to talk about, you treat me as a star! It's up to you, you can sell it if you want to, there is no need to ask for my opinion, let alone any 'copyright' fees, if you sell this painting, just invite me to a small restaurant outside for a meal." ”

Chen Wei is an open-minded person and values Xu Hong's talent, how can he discuss anything about portrait rights with Xu Hong.

"Thank you, Chen Wei, then I will use your painting as a wandering painter. Xu Hong knows that the only thing he can do now is to start from scratch, start everything from scratch, start from a wandering painter again, and move forward towards his great dream.

"Alright, whatever you want. As long as you can sell this painting, then you can come back every day to watch me paint a portrait, and I am willing to give you a model for free, what do you think? ”

Chen Wei listened to Xu Hong's words, and was naturally very happy, and he was willing to serve Xu Hong for free!

"How can I let you serve me for free! If I can really make money from this painting, then I will definitely pay you to be a model." Xu Hong knew that it was not easy for Chen Wei to make money, and if he could really sell this painting, he would have to give it to others.

"Okay, Xu Hong, don't make money in front of me, will this hurt the feelings between us! If you can really sell this painting, then you can teach me to paint for free, if I can also paint portraits to make money, it is not better than decorating a house for others, and it is covered with dust every day, so that those people in the city look down on it. ”

Chen Wei thought that if Xu Hong could make money by painting portraits, then if he learned this craft, wouldn't he be able to paint portraits to make money, and he wouldn't have to work so hard to decorate the house to make money.

"It's not impossible, but you have to know that being a wandering painter and being a decorator will also make some people in the city look down on you. It's not that when you become a wandering painter, people will look up to you. ”

What Xu Hong said is also very reasonable, you don't see, those street artists who sleep on the street earn a little living expenses every day, but who will really regard them as artists, they will only be classified as those beggars who pretend to be crazy and stupid.

"That's what you said, but, no matter what, I feel that a street artist is also an artist, much better than a migrant worker. ”

Chen Wei has a very high idea of art anyway, and thinks that art is a 'high' thing. Even if he is a street performer, he is much better than an ordinary migrant worker.

"Well, if that's what you look like, that's the best, it seems that you're really fit to be a street performer. After listening to Chen Wei's words, Xu Hong felt that it was rare to have such an idea, which is the basic quality of being a street artist.

How can a street artist confidently perform his talent on the street, that is what he needs. Although they are nothing in the eyes of others, in their own hearts, they regard themselves as an artist, an artist like a star who performs on the big stage.

"Hey, Xu Hong, then tell me first, how to paint a good portrait! I think, isn't this thing easier than painting some flowers and birds? I think, some street artists make money by painting portraits of others!"

Chen Wei sometimes sees some street performers on the street or in the park, making money by painting portraits of others!

"Well, since you want to paint portraits so much, I can also give you some pointers, and you have a point, most of the people who sell paintings for a living as street artists paint portraits of others. Because everyone wants to have a portrait of their own, hope. As for other paintings, such as flower and bird paintings, I am afraid that ordinary people do not have this hobby, and only some painting lovers will like such paintings. Portraiture is different, and ordinary people will probably like it.

In this way, painting portraits is indeed very 'lucrative'. However, if you want to become a great painter, I am afraid it will be a little difficult. Among those paintings worth millions or hundreds of millions, there are very few portraits. Of course, with the exception of those world-famous paintings, those are just some exceptions. Among the traditional famous paintings in China, there are very few portrait paintings, most of which are landscape paintings and flower and bird paintings. ”

Xu Hong listened to Chen Wei's words, of course he couldn't refuse, since people want to learn to paint, especially if they want to learn to paint portraits, he can also guide others casually, saving them more detours.

"Okay, Xu Hong, tell me how to draw a good portrait!" Chen Wei was already a little impatient.

"Okay, listen up. Xu Hong paused for a moment and began to give a lecture to Chen Wei.

"Portraiture is a type of figure painting. Refers specifically to paintings depicting human figures. It can be divided into head portrait, bust portrait, full body portrait, group portrait, etc. Portraiture has been around for a long time in East Asia. Portraiture in the West developed from the Renaissance. With the development of photographic technology, portraiture also entered the field of photography. The traditional title of Chinese portrait painting is "expressive" or "portrait", which is to depict the objective characters in real life or history, and focus on the specific appearance characteristics and inner charm of the characters themselves through creative methods such as depicting gods in form and imagination, so as to obtain the effect of both form and spirit

Paintings depicting specific figures. In ancient China, it was called portrait, portrayal or expressiveness. According to its different creative requirements and expression techniques, portraits are divided into head, bust, full-body portrait, bust and group portrait. It requires the painter to make a real and vivid depiction of the figure's appearance, body shape, mood, clothing and background, etc., to express its spiritual characteristics, status, national attributes, fashion of the times, and reflect the painter's own thoughts and feelings.

Portrait painting pursues both form and spirit, and attaches importance to the portrayal of facial features that convey the expression of the characters. Gu Kaizhi, a painter from the Eastern Jin Dynasty in China, once said: "The portrayal of the gods is in the middle of Chen blocking."

Portraiture, like other genres, focuses on grasping the essential elements of the object, which are sometimes called "god" or "reason", "mind", "Tao", or other words chosen according to the context and the intention of the author; The lack of physical performance has naturally become a secondary problem. Just seeking to resemble the form, in the end it is just a futile practice of painting, which is no different from a beginner's deliberate copying.

Contrary to this extreme proposition, Confucianism advocates the portrayal of a peaceful figure, mainly showing the character's mental outlook and temperament. First of all, it is necessary to express the inner moral character of the figure, and give him different clothes and different manners according to the different times and social classes, because the primary role of figure painting is to educate, and the appearance is still placed in the second place.

But the likeness is also very important, the portrait is still important, if it is not the same, how can it be called a portrait.

To paint a portrait, you should depict the organs above the head, such as the forehead, nose, cheeks, cheeks, chin, eyes, mouth, ears, eyebrows, beard, and hair.

Painting these organs, the ancient sages have long summarized a set of theories: "The forehead is round and overlay, so it is called the heavenly court." There is a top-upside down, and it is also extremely high. There is one of the hairlines of the Lingshan Mountain, which is called the cloud and the cloud mane. The two forehead horns are the sun and moon angles, the eyebrows are the clouds and the clouds, and the eyes are the sun and the moon in the middle of the sky, so the upper part is the sky, and the job is the reason. It must be dyed to make it round, and it will be covered with a bang, lining up the five mountains, and holding out the eyebrow chakra. Then divide the sun, set up mountains and forests, match canopies, and dye border cities. Pile it out heavily, assign three points, say Ming Hall in the center, connect the Yin Hall under the Ming Hall, and connect the mountain root under the Yin Hall. All the way to the root of the mountain, with the Hunyuan dyeing method, the void holds out a round white light, in order to be the divine light of the Ming Hall, the sun gradually becomes more dyed, and the border city, with the black pile on the hairline, cover to the mane, and the ear door is like a raspberry. The lines on the forehead are all canopies, but there is a distinction between covering and sparse. There are those who hold out the sun and moon angles such as piers, those who line out the bones of mountains and forests such as ridges, those who surround the sky and cover them, and those who bend the sun and cave gaps. ”

The ancients have long summarized a set of techniques and theories for painting portraits, and we just need to memorize them. ”

After Xu Hong finished speaking, he looked at Chen Wei.

He saw that Chen Wei was half-understanding, so he smiled and said, "Didn't you understand? ”

Chen Wei hurriedly smiled and said: "Xu Hong, what you said is too professional, I have never heard it! So I don't understand it very well, can you explain it briefly again, otherwise, I will listen to it as if I didn't hear it." ”

Xu Hong looked at Chen Wei and said with a smile: "Haha, yes! For you, a 'student' who has never been to an art academy for a day, I am too profound to say this, and you must sound similar to listening to a book from heaven." (To be continued.) )
