Chapter 312: Portraiture

Chen Wei does look down on Xu Hong a little, and he can see from the experience of others that Xu Hong's future may be like those college students Chen Wei has seen, who can only bow to reality and be an ordinary person. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Viagra, I know you don't think I can mix up as a big painter. I don't blame you, after all, you are well-informed, and you have seen a lot of things in this area. But I can say a big thing in front of you now, within a year, I must become the most famous great painter in Beijing. This is my great dream, and I must make it happen. ”

Chen Wei was drinking beer, and when he heard Xu Hong's words, he almost squirted the wine out of his mouth.

"Xu Hong, you don't have a backache when you sit and talk! Not to mention a year, even if you can become a great painter in the capital within ten years, it will be good. Even if you want to brag in front of me, you must at least brag about it! You're blowing too much, aren't you? Chen Wei was naturally dismissive of Xu Hong's words.

"Then we'll see! I plan to stay in this village for only two months, and after two months, I will definitely leave here. ”

Xu Hong already had a plan, he knew that no matter what, he would engage in his own painting career, even if he continued to be a wandering painter, he would have to leave the village and go to the city to develop.

"Okay, just go ahead with your dreams! But if you're willing to help me do the work for a month, I'll pay me more. ”

For Chen Wei, he felt that Xu Hong was the most stubborn person he had ever met, and he didn't listen to others at all.

"Thank you viagra, come and I'll toast you." Anyway, Xu Hong also wants to thank Chen Wei for allowing him to earn some living expenses first.

"Alright, let's finish drinking the wine, and we'll go back! I'm going to go back to work tomorrow! ”

Chen Wei and Xu Hong were thirsty for the remaining two bottles of beer, so they came out of the small restaurant and returned to the rental house.

The next day. Xu Hong, like yesterday, happily went to a high-end community in the city with Chen Wei to do the work of decorating the house.

After a day of training, Xu Hong's craftsmanship is already very good, and he also uses all kinds of tools to decorate the house.

Chen Wei saw it in his eyes and was happy in his heart. Seeing that Xu Hongneng could soon be as good as him, he was also very happy in his heart. Because, as long as the decoration of other people's houses is qualified, people will pay more wages, if after the decoration, the owner is not satisfied, the wages will be reduced, and will be blamed by the owner.

Because the house is a place for people to live and live every day, if the decoration is very good, it will naturally make the people who live there happy. On the contrary, if the decoration is not good, the people who live in it will not look beautiful and unsatisfactory, so how can they be happy!

Fortunately, Xu Hong's craftsmanship is good, and the work he does is even better than Chen Wei's own work.

"Xu Hong, how did you learn so fast and do so well, I really can't believe it! Have you learned this craft before? ”

Chen Wei saw that Xu Hong's paint was more uniform and bright than his brush, and he was very puzzled. I don't understand why I have worked for a few years is not as good as a person who has just worked for a few days.

"Xu Hong, I really convinced you, why did you follow me for a few days, and the work you did was even better than mine."

"Because I'm a painter! Isn't a painter a 'painter'? Xu Hong was holding a brush and smearing some green paint on the wall while chatting with Chen Wei.

"Haha, interesting, the painter is a 'painter', this is the first time I've heard of it!" Chen Wei couldn't help but laugh when he heard Xu Hong's words.

"Am I just making an analogy!" Xu Hong also laughed while painting.

"Xu Hong, if you are not a decoration worker with this skill, it is really a waste of talent." Chen Wei helped Xu Hong adjust the green paint on the wall, and at the same time made jokes with Xu Hong.

"When I get home in the evening, I'll paint you a portrait, and you'll know if I should be a painter or a decorator."

You must know that Xu Hong has not shown his talent in front of Chen Wei! Chen Wei only knew that Xu Hong was a painter, but he hadn't seen it yet!

"Okay, I'd like to see how good you are at this person who dreams of becoming a painter in the evening."

After listening to Xu Hong's words, Chen Wei also became interested. He also knew some college students who were learning to paint cars, and he also asked them to paint portraits, but he felt that those college students were not very good at painting, don't look at him not to be able to draw, but in terms of appreciating paintings, he still has some foundation.

This is Chen Wei's hobby, others don't know, and he knows that he still has some research in this area.

In the evening, after finishing their work, the two returned to Feilong Village.

On this day, the two bought vegetables together, cooked dinner, and had dinner in their rental house. After all, you can't go to the world every day. Although these restaurants are really nothing. But for an ordinary worker, it can be regarded as 'high consumption'.

After dinner, Chen Wei thought of what Xu Hong had told him during the day, so he went to Xu Hong's house and asked Xu Hong to paint a portrait of him.

When Xu Hong heard this, he was not polite, and immediately took out his painting folder, and casually sharpened a carbon pencil, ready to start painting Chen Wei.

"Come, sit on the edge of the bed, and I'll paint you a portrait of your face." Generally, portrait painters like to paint portraits of models from the side. In this way, the painting can appear more spiritual.

Portrait painting, 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.

As a professional painter, Xu Hong is naturally highly accomplished in this regard. Painting portraits can be said to be the basis for learning to paint. It generally starts with painting a plaster head. After mastering some of the characteristics of the human body, you can start to draw real models, which is also gradual, and you will soon be able to master the skills of portrait painting.

Compared with the realistic characteristics of Western paintings, Eastern paintings pay more attention to the 'expressive' effect of paintings. In other words, to make the painting 'live', to make people look at it, to feel that the person in the painting is 'about to come out', so that a work can be considered a good painting. Only by making the people in the painting 'live' can it be regarded as a master's level.

Xu Hong can be said to be a true master of painting, and he has reached a very high level of painting during his lifetime. It's just that there are many great painters in his world, who are far more skilled and famous than him.

But after arriving in this parallel world, Xu Hong knew that the level of painters in this parallel world was really not very good, and the paintings in this world were very ordinary, and they could not be compared with his masterpieces in that parallel world.

Now Chen Wei wants Xu Hong to paint a portrait of him, that is, he wants to see if Xu Hong has the level of a great painter. Boasting all day long that he wants to be a great painter, if he can't even paint a portrait, then he will blow a fart.

"Well, can I do this!"

Chen Wei sat on the side to show Xu Hong as Xu Hong said.

"Hmmm! Not bad, kind of interesting. Xu Hong saw that Chen Wei was deliberately holding the shelf, and then glared, pretending to be surprised. He felt a little ridiculous.

"Haha, viagra, don't you be so nervous! Isn't it just drawing! You're so nervous, and you let me draw it. ”

"I --- why am I not nervous, it's the first time I've modeled someone!" Chen Wei is indeed the first time to ask others to paint a portrait of him, although he has also known some college students who are learning to paint before, but he has never asked others to paint portraits.

"How can this work, I have to relax so that I can draw well! Wouldn't it be funny to draw a look of surprise like this! ”

Xu Hong saw that Chen Wei's expression was indeed a little ridiculous now, and he wanted him to relax.

"If you want to relax, you can do it, then you have to let me smoke a cigarette. When I'm done smoking, I'm sure I'll be able to relax. ”

Chen Wei said a method. Xu Hong listened, so he had to take a box of cigarettes on the table, then took out one, and still came to Chen Wei.

"Okay, then you can smoke one!" Xu Hong thought, smoking a cigarette, it won't take long to meet Chen Wei's requirements!

Chen Wei picked up the cigarette, then took out the lighter from his pocket, lit it and smoked it.

With this smoking, Chen Wei immediately relaxed. Because he thought that Xu Hong would definitely wait for him to finish smoking before painting his portrait!

So Chen Wei was still sitting on his side, and he didn't pay attention to Xu Hong, just smoking to his heart's content!

But when Chen Wei finished his cigarette, then sat down again, and asked Xu Hong to paint for him, he heard Xu Hong say something that surprised him.

"Your portrait has been painted, how about you take a look."

"What do you say, it's already drawn, I'm not ready yet! How did you draw it? Chen Wei was very strange and didn't understand how Xu Hong could draw so quickly.

"It's called sketching, and it's about capturing the model's moment-vivid expression. Imprint this expression into your mind. After that, the portrait is painted in one go. Xu Hong didn't let Chen Wei see his portrait, but first told him how he painted the portrait so quickly.

"That's right, let me see how you drew me." Chen Wei was a little anxious.

Xu Hong placed a portrait in front of Chen Wei.

Chen Wei was stunned for a moment.

Because he saw a particularly 'awesome' portrait. In this painting, there is a handsome young man with a cigarette in his mouth, his eyes staring into the distance, as if he is full of confidence in the future.

"Holy! Xu Hong, your painting is really good, I really didn't expect that you could draw one of my momentary expressions, how difficult it would be! ”

Although Chen Wei can't draw, he also knows that painting is not about taking pictures, but about capturing the momentary expressions and movements of people or animals.

In fact, even if it is a camera, if you want to capture some expressions and movements of life moments, it is difficult to do so, and without certain shooting skills, I am afraid that you will not be able to take wonderful photos.

And Xu Hong is now using the brush in his hand to 'capture' the momentary expressions of the characters, how high the artistic level is, just think about it.

"This one! Of course, it is somewhat difficult, but with regular practice, the average person can master this technique. Xu Hong listened to Chen Wei's words and humbled in front of him.

"Xu Hong, you seem to be a painter worthy of your reputation! Your level is really a master! I really don't know, you are so good at painting, why are you not a great painter! ”

This time it was Chen Wei's turn to be a little puzzled. He used to think that Xu Hong's level was also the level of an ordinary college student, but when he looked at the portrait Xu Hong painted for him, he knew how superb Xu Hong's level was, which was definitely not comparable to a college student.

"The tiger fell in Pingyang and was bullied by dogs, and the dragon was played by shrimp in shallow water."

Xu Hong looked at Chen Wei and suddenly thought of such a sentence. Because he was originally a tiger and a dragon, it was only when he came to the capital, the cultural and political center of the country, that he had to hide it. After all, this is the foot of the Son of Heaven, the place where the dragon and the crouching tiger are hidden.

"Oh, Xu Hong, you mean that you haven't encountered a chance yet, and once you have the opportunity, you can leap into a dragon."

"Sort of! I'm just waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity that will allow me to change my fate. Xu Hong could only say that, because he didn't know if he could get a chance, a chance for Boss Chen to recover his memory.

As long as Boss Chen recovers his memory, then he can cooperate with Chen Tian and hold a large-scale art exhibition for him in the capital, then he will be able to move the capital immediately.

"Hmmm! Okay, I'm optimistic about you Xu Hong, you are really a rare talent. ”

After seeing the portrait painted by Xu Hong for Chen Wei, he also completely changed his view of Xu Hong. I feel that this person is indeed very talented.

"Thank you viagra, it's just that when my opportunity will come, it's hard to say. Maybe I can't wait for this life. ”

As soon as he thought of Chen Tian's current situation, Xu Hong had no confidence again.

"Xu Hong, don't be discouraged! It's man-made. The capital is so big and has such a large population, but there may not be many real talents. You may also be considered a rare talent. As long as you work hard to draw, I believe that one day, you will be able to get ahead. ”

Chen Wei looked at the portrait painted by Xu Hong, and he also said some nice things to others. (To be continued.) )
