Chapter 283: Freehand Peony

Wang Wei is still a little unhappy! I think, I obviously care about you, but you still don't appreciate it, then I'm sorry, you can do it yourself!

This qiē also made Fan Wen look at it.

"Hmph, this kid still has a lot of personality!"

Although Xu Hong is also a celebrity, he can only be regarded as a celebrity in Tiannan City, if he is put in the capital, I am afraid that few people will know about him. Including this old man Fan, he still doesn't know Xu Hong's 'real kung fu'!

The competition has begun, and Mr. Fan has also come up with the exam questions. Let's look at Xu Hong and Yao Hong's true skills.

Xu Hong unhurriedly picked up the paint paste and squeezed it into the paint plate, while picking up the brush to mix colors, while thinking about what kind of freehand peony flower he wanted to paint.

Freehand painting is a kind of painting method of Chinese painting, which does not seek meticulous work with the brush, but pays attention to the expression of demeanor and the expression of the author's taste.

Freehand is commonly known as "thick brush". Symmetrical with "Gongbi". The name of the Chinese painting technique. Tong guò's concise and indulgent brushwork focuses on the attitude of the depicted object and the painting method of the wind god. Freehand painting is the basic form of Chinese painting, and it is called together with gongbi painting.

Freehand is a type of painting that is abbreviated. It requires a concise and concise summary of the brush and ink, focusing on the depiction of the image of the image, hence the name freehand. Liang Kai and Fa Chang in the Southern Song Dynasty, Chen Chun and Xu Wei in the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Qi in the early Qing Dynasty were all good at this method. Yun Shouping of the Qing Dynasty said: "The Song people said that they could go to the ancients without care, and they also said freehand painting." The two words are the slightest, and the most misleading, I don't know how to use my heart, so that the ancients didn't care; I don't know how to use it, but it is freehand. Han Zhuo of the Song Dynasty said: "There are simple and complete people who use the pen, and there are those who are clever and delicate." The former means "freehand".

Freehand painting can be divided into two categories in terms of technique, one is large freehand and the other is small freehand, both of which have their own characteristics and have their own advantages and disadvantages.

The so-called small freehand is more inclined to depict the reality of objects and images in ink painting, which is connected to the tradition of the Yuan people's ink flowers and birds, while the so-called large freehand is more inclined to express the subjective feelings of Xiàn painters in ink painting, inheriting the literati ink opera tradition of the Song and Yuan dynasties.

It does not focus on detailing and truthfully copying reality, but focuses on the charm of objective objects and the subjective feelings of the painter with concise brushwork.

Freehand painting is divided into two categories in terms of content, one is freehand landscape, and the other is freehand flower.

Freehand landscape painting has the following techniques.

There are changes in the center, side, forward, and reverse front with the pen, and the pen touches the paper to lift the changes in the wrist movement, which can appear light and heavy, virtual and real, thick, turning and other pen forms. The center of the pen is a more widely used penmanship, this kind of line, when the pen is always running in the middle of the line, with the characteristics of roundness, thickness, robustness and composure, no bias and weakness.

The painting is dominated by this kind of line, which is easy to obtain a mellow and dignified effect. The side forward is to lie horizontally with the pen, and the tip of the pen runs on one side of the line, and the line is easy to get the effect of elegant and ethereal. And with the pen horizontal horizontal drag or reverse drag, so that the tip of the pen runs in the middle of the line, also known as the center of the horizontal pen, drawing is another effect. For example, the reverse line can achieve a sense of astringency more than the forward line.

In short, the various methods of brushing are ever-changing, and in painting, they are often impromptu and intricately intertwined, and it is difficult to say what scenery should be used to express what brushwork. In painting, the pen is on the paper, horizontal and vertical wipe, ever-changing, unpredictable, sometimes a line has both the change of the middle and side of the front, the reverse of the virtual and the real, the center and the side of the front have to change according to the needs of the scene. In order to do it just right, it is necessary to rely on the accumulation of ordinary practice and use skillful skills to apply flexibly.

Freehand flowers have the following techniques.

The creation of freehand flower and bird painting mainly uses lines to express objects. The technique of using the pen requires that the characteristics of concrete shapes and lines be eliminated from the complex state of the lines of things, and the essence and spirit of the objects can be seen. It is required that the line depicted by the pen can express the reality of the object without rubbing and smudging, the pen is simple and complex, the state changes at will, and a turn and a bunch are interesting. The so-called "Yu Gang is healthy in the graceful, and the line is strong in the charming", which is the concrete embodiment of the pen method. The so-called pen is inexhaustible, and the pen is not visible, all from the pen.

The pen pays attention to the center, the flank, the reverse and the battle pen. The center requires the pen to be positive, impartial, and the pen should be round and tenacious, and not be dangerous. Generally, it is used to describe a qiē thing with a fixed shape. The flank requires the pen to sweep sideways, which can be used to describe amorphous slopes and tree trunks. The reverse front is mostly to change the normal direction of the brushstroke, so as to increase the sense of muddy strokes. The war pen is the center of the pen, and it is running in the war. It is suitable for writing about houses, bridges, buildings and outlining flowers and leaves, which can avoid the rigidity of lines and add awkward interest. Generally, it is advisable to use thirsty ink at your discretion, and sometimes you can also choose the appropriate ink color according to your needs.

The reason why Fan Wen asked Xu Hong and Yao Hong to paint peonies is because the peony flower is the national flower, a kind of flower that everyone likes to paint very much, and it can also be said to be the most painted flower in flower and bird paintings.

"National color and natural fragrance" has always been the good name of peony. Don Pi Rixiuyun: "He boasted that there is no other in the world and monopolized the first fragrance in the world." "The peony flower is well-deserved to be known as the national flower. Peony is the "national flower", which has a long history, since the Tang and Song dynasties, the peony is called "the national color and natural fragrance";

In the Ming Dynasty, the "National Flower Terrace" was built in the Jile Temple in the capital to plant peonies; in the Qing Dynasty, the peony was respected as the national flower, and the National Flower Terrace was built in the Summer Palace; the "Ciyuan" and the "Chinese Dictionary" said that the "national flower" entries all said that "China has always taken the peony as the national flower".

The founding prime minister said: "The peony is the national flower of our country, and its grace and magnificence are magnificent, and it is a symbol of the prosperity and happiness of our Chinese nation." ”

"The national color is drunk in the morning, and the sky is fragrant and the clothes are dyed at night". This is the Tang Dynasty Li Zhengfeng's poem chanting peony, "the national color and heavenly fragrance" is really the most expressive praise for peony.

"National color", the root of which lies in her physical beauty, "beautiful skin and greasy body, all forms are unique." The red one is like the sun, and the white one is like the moon. "Pour the light of a hundred flowers", "seize the fresh brilliance of the tree". And her temperament is even more different from Danhui.

There are many varieties of peony flowers, and the painting methods of freehand peony are also different, such as gongbi hook dyeing method, small freehand painting method, large freehand painting method, etc. Freehand peony is one is the color breaking method, and the other is the color accumulation method. Generally, draw the flower head first, with a large brush.

So how to draw peony flowers? Take magenta as an example, the pen is dipped in light red, draw three to four petals in front of the petals, the pen should have a certain amount of moisture, and then moisten into the crimson and rouge at the tip of the pen, and the next pen first dots the heart of the flower, first small and then large, and gradually point out to the outside of the flower, the color change is more and more shallower, and the flower is painted into a flower with a shallow layer of change inside and outside.

Flowers are in full bloom or flowers are waiting to be released, two flowers are painted on one side, three flowers are painted with half dew or buds, many flowers should be hidden and placed, flowers should be large and small, the shape is different, there are sparse and dense, there is a change in momentum, and the flower heart and stamen are then faced after the flower is dry.

Flower peony is bright and eye-catching, and all kinds of pigments must be mixed well. As long as you practice diligently, you can naturally draw a beautiful peony flower.

Fan Wen is a professor at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, a master of Chinese painting, and freehand painting is his forte, he asked Xu Hong and Yao Hong to paint freehand peonies, just to see how these two people are in painting.

Because to examine a person's painting skills, the best way is to ask him to paint a freehand peony. Painting peony flowers is a general painting method that anyone who is learning to draw must learn.

Xu Hong and Yao Hong are the real great painters, they don't need to paint any magnificent works, as long as they paint a simple peony flower, they can be tested.

Because they are standing in front of the most famous freehand painting master in the country, which of them is the real painter, as long as the two of them move the pen, Old Man Fan can see it.

The competition has begun, Xu Hong adjusted the ink color with skillful movements, recalled the theory of freehand painting and some techniques of painting peony flowers, and then began to prepare to paint.

This time for Xu Hong, it is impossible for him to be 'opportunistic' anymore. Because in the world before his death, although there were countless works of peony flowers, it was really difficult to find a very famous peony painting.

Among the works of those masters, there is really no one who specializes in painting peony flowers. There is no such thing as a painting of peony flowers.

Xu Hong now wants to 'copy' a famous painting of 'peony flowers' before his death, and it is really difficult. Because he himself can't remember that the famous painting mainly depicts peony flowers.

Therefore, this time it really depends on Xu Hong's true ability. In a sense, Yao Hong is not bad, and Xu Hong may also be a 'fake' painter. A reborn impostor.

It's just that no matter what, Xu Hong still has real kung fu, an authentic graduate of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, this is the real thing.

From this point of view, Yao Hong cannot be compared with Xu Hong. What is he Yao Hong, although he also went to the 'Tiannan Academy' for two years, he was not admitted, but he asked his eldest brother to help him with a layer of gold in order to become a fake painter. After all, let him have a cradle of painters, so that after he became a great painter, he also had a source to get his hands on.

Even if he has to rely on real skills, Xu Hong is far above Yao Hong. An authentic high-achieving student of the Central Academy of Fine Arts and a fake graduate of the second-rate Academy of Fine Arts cannot be compared at all.

Although Xu Hong could not completely 'copy' a famous painting about peony flowers, he still painted many works on the theme of peony flowers during his lifetime. I have also seen many peony flower works of the more famous master flowers.

What he has to do now is to take the strengths of others and make up for his own shortcomings. He recalled some of the famous peony flower paintings he had seen before, and then combined many works together to conceive a freehand peony flower work of his own.

Xu Hong took a paintbrush, conceived it in front of the drawing paper, and then began to paint.

And Yao Hong's side is lively. He didn't even know how to mix paint, he tossed for a long time, and his body and hands were dyed with paint.

As soon as I picked up the brush and started to paint, the paint on my hand had already stained the paper. He had to get another one.

But as soon as I changed to a new one, I just drew a stroke, and I felt that the drawing was not very good, so I kneaded the paper again and returned to the table on the side.

Fan Wen and Wang Wei were both in the ring, and they were also standing beside Xu Hong and Yao Hong. The actions of both of them are under the gaze of the two.

In fact, above the heads of the two, there is also a rocker camera for a full range of live broadcasts of the two of them, and their every move is transmitted to the TV of thousands of households in Tiannan City with the live broadcast car.

Fan Wen saw that Xu Hong had started painting unhurriedly. And Yao Hong is still in a hurry and has not made preparations!

When he looked at it, he felt that who was a real painter and who was a fake painter had already been distinguished. Yao Hong is like this, can he still be a real painter!

"Miss Wang, do you want to continue this game? I think the truth has been decided, and the winner is decided. Fan Wen saw that Yao Hong's fox tail had been exposed, so he thought, just end the game! Don't let Yao Hong be embarrassed. There's no need for him to be embarrassed here, no matter how old he is, give him some face.

"Fan Lao, how can this work, we are a live show, it has long been broadcast as news, we have to act how we want, we have to act as planned, how can this be stopped halfway, I'm afraid this will not work, and our station leaders will not agree." ”

Wang Wei knows very well the importance of doing a show, although she can also see that Yao Hong is a fake painter, and he has already defeated himself without a fight. But the show has to go on, and it can't be stopped halfway.

"That's the case, then forget it, let's wait a while!" Fan Wen listened to Wang Wei's words and had no choice but to nod.

The competition continues, half an hour has passed, and Xu Hong's painting of 'National Color and Heavenly Fragrance' has almost been painted, and a few blooming peony flowers are being polished.

The most important step in painting a peony flower is polishing. Because peony flowers are larger and more colorful than ordinary flowers, when painting, the ink dipped in the brush must be full to draw delicate peony flowers.

However, because the paper is very large, and a lot of ink is used, it is generally dipped once, and after painting, it cannot achieve a good effect, so after the painting is completed, it is necessary to polish the flowers, so that the whole work will look 'round and fragrant'.

So after Xu Hong finished painting, he dipped some vermilion with Xiaohao and began to polish some blooming red peonies.

And Yao Hong has now changed to a third piece of rice paper, and he has begun to paint. It may be that he saw that Xu Hong had almost finished drawing, and half an hour had passed, and he couldn't afford it anymore, so he had to start writing.

But as soon as he drew again, the sweat on his forehead trickled down to the drawing paper.

"Ahh

Yao Hong was in a hurry, so he raised his hand and wiped a handful of sweat on his forehead.

He already had a lot of paint on his hands, but now if he wiped it on his forehead, the result would be predictable.

"Haha!-haha!-"

There was a burst of laughter from the audience. Because everyone sees that Yao Hong is not painting, he is 'putting on makeup'! )
