Chapter 90 is about flower and bird painting

"Okay! This time, let the fat man be the chief planner, and when the time comes to publish the album, don't forget, just print the name of the fat man. As soon as Zhang Ze saw the fat man's triumphant appearance, he began to tease the fat man.

"Hey, Skinny Monkey, don't say it, your idea is really good, I stipulate that from now on, my stage name will be Fatty, and no one will be allowed to call me by my real name in the future, just call me by my stage name." I believe that as long as our 'New Star Art Garden' album is published this time, I will enter thousands of households with this small album, and my fat man's name will also become a household name. ”

The fat man is happier the more he talks, as if he is already a big star.

"Alright, alright, don't think about beautiful things, hurry up and get down to business! It's been a few days since this month, and we haven't painted a single pictorial work in this issue! I have stipulated that from now on, everyone will work overtime to paint, and within a week, 30 pictorial works will be painted. ”

Xu Hong knew that the task was a bit heavy, and there were less than ten days left, and it was not easy to draw all the pictorials in this issue.

The work of painting is originally a matter of slow work and meticulous work, and it is impossible to do it in a hasty manner like doing any hard work. No matter how tight the time is, you still have to be patient to get the painting done.

"Okay, everyone listen to Brother Xu and start drawing. I'm going to find some flower and bird painting themes for you to refer to. After Zhao Ming finished speaking, he went to the editorial office, which has a material cabinet with a lot of materials for painting.

Xu Hong naturally doesn't need to look at any painting materials, he has a few excellent bird paintings in his heart, as long as he 'copys' them.

Flower and bird painting is a relatively broad term, and it is one of the most used themes in ancient Chinese painting art.

Since painting itself originates from people's aesthetic needs, it is easy for painters to choose subjects that are originally beautiful things.

Painting itself is an aesthetic art. The things that are beautiful in themselves are most easily expressed in the works of painting and art.

Flowers and birds are both things that people love in life. Therefore, it has also become a very important subject of painting in ancient times.

Speaking of flower and bird painting, there are also a variety of painting methods and techniques, such as fine brushwork, freehand, color ink, customs, courtyards, and so on.

As we all know, Chinese painting is basically divided into three types, one is landscape, one is human figures, and the other is flowers and birds.

Compared with landscapes and figures, flower and bird painting seems to be the other two basic skills, and if you want to paint landscapes and people well, you must first paint flowers and birds.

Although there are many techniques and genres of painting flowers and birds, Gongbi flowers and birds are undoubtedly the most important technique, and it can also be said to be the basic technique.

Only by mastering the techniques of flowers and birds can we master other techniques.

In terms of Gongbi flower and bird painting, the ancient painters have done it to the extreme, and it is difficult for modern painters to surpass the ancient painters.

Some ancient Gongbi flower and bird paintings are really breathtaking, their skills are skilled, the brush is sharp, the structure is rigorous, the idea is ingenious, the depiction is delicate, and the artistic conception is profound, which is far beyond the reach of modern painters. In the face of the excellent paintings of flowers and birds by ancient painters, we modern painters can only look up, but cannot match them.

Although we have superb science and technology in modern times, and the pigments and paper used in painting are much better than those in ancient times, we can never surpass ancient times in terms of painting techniques and artistic conception of works.

Xu Hong is a 21st century painter born in this era, and when he was a university student at the Academy of Fine Arts, he was also very fond of ancient gongbi flowers and birds, and he has long been fond of gongbi painting.

This is also the reason why he was able to learn Western oil painting well. After all, the two have something in common.

This time, Xu Hong decided to draw some flowers and birds, which is also to show everyone his housekeeping skills!

Because of gongbi painting, it can best show a painter's artistic skills. It's like learning italic calligraphy. It is the foundation of learning calligraphy, and it is also one of the most difficult calligraphy techniques to master.

Regular script can be said to be the basis of all kinds of calligraphy. Only when you learn to write regular script can you write other calligraphy well.

It's the same with painting, the fine brush is the foundation. It is also a means to test whether a painter can patiently and meticulously paint a painting.

Although Xu Hong is not a famous painter, he has mastered this technique in the world before his death. Relatively speaking, his technique is much stronger than that of the world's great painters.

This is a parallel world where the art of painting is not very developed, and the level of the painters is really not very good. Because many famous painters in another parallel world, in this world, are ordinary people, or some people who have made great achievements in other aspects, and they have not made any contribution in this aspect of painting.

It is precisely for this reason that Xu Hong's works, as soon as they are displayed in this world, will be favored by some professionals!

This time, Xu Hong is going to show his strength again. He believes that as long as he paints ten more excellent flower and bird paintings, he will definitely improve his fame and the popularity of 'New Star Art Garden'.

But when Xu Hong really wanted to 'create' these works, he felt like he didn't know where to start. Because flower and bird painting is a relatively broad term. There are many painters who paint flowers and birds, both ancient and modern.

But if you want to say who is particularly good in this area, you really can't say. Even if he is a particularly famous painter, he does not seem to have painted any particularly famous paintings of flowers and birds.

Xu Hong thought about it, but he didn't know that one work could be regarded as a masterpiece of flower and bird painting.

But no matter what, the front page of his pictorial must have a 'town newspaper work'! And this time he will paint a fine work of flowers and birds, and place it in the boutique column on the front page!

Xu Hong pondered for a while, and then looked at some of the painting materials that Zhao Ming had brought over, and when he saw that there was a work in which two peacocks were depicted, his eyes lit up, and he knew what kind of masterpiece he should paint.

He remembered that he had copied a famous bird painting in ancient times - "Yutang Wealth and Wealth". This is a masterpiece of ancient flower and bird painting that Xu Hong likes very much.

"Yutang Wealth and Wealth" is the work of Yu Yuan, a painter of the Qing Dynasty, and it is also his representative work.
