Chapter 316: Painting and Calligraphy

Chen Wei was also very happy when he heard Xu Hong's words, he came over and patted Xu Hong on the shoulder and said, "However, I want to become a great painter, it seems that you have to become a great painter first!"

Chen Wei knew very well that his strength could not be compared to Xu Hong's strength at all. If Xu Hong can't become www.biquge.info a great painter, he won't have to think about it. If he wants to become a great painter, he must first make Xu Hong a great painter.

"Well, what you're saying is that your current level is still far from a great painter! You still have to keep practicing. Hopefully, you will continue to learn to draw in your spare time, and one day, you will be able to reach the level of mine. ”

When Chen Wei heard this, he was even more happy, looking at Xu Hong, he seemed to see his future, and he would definitely become a well-known painter.

"Okay, Chen Wei, if you don't work today, you can learn to paint at home, and I can go out and sell paintings. ”

Xu Hong thought, no matter what, he can't sit back and eat empty! He has to be a wandering painter like before. Let's earn some living expenses first. ”

"Okay, then Xu Hong, you go sell paintings! If you can really make money, you naturally don't have to do decoration work. How easy it is to draw and make money. Chen Wei listened to Xu Hong's words and naturally agreed with him to sell paintings.

"Okay, I'll try my luck with this portrait of yours today!" Xu Hong said, and took out his portrait of Chen Wei again.

He looked at the painting and felt as if something was missing, so he picked up the brush again and wanted to paint something on it.

When Chen Wei saw it, he quickly grabbed Xu Hong's arm and said, "Xu Hong, isn't this painting very good! Why, do you still want to revise it!"

Chen Wei felt that the portrait Xu Hong painted for himself was even better than the first one, so he couldn't understand why Xu Hong had to revise it!

"I'm not trying to revise, I'm trying to give this painting a name. Of course, Xu Hong knew that his drawings were already very good, and there was no need to revise them. He just wanted to give it a name. Because it's going to be sold, it also has to have a name, so that people will pay attention to it!

"Give me a name, won't I just call me Chen Wei? Chen Wei didn't understand what Xu Hong meant for a while, so he felt that Xu Hong wanted to name himself!

"It's not about naming yourself, it's about naming this painting. Xu Hong saw that Chen Wei misunderstood what he meant, so he explained again.

"Oh, it's a name for this painting, so what do you name it? ”

Chen Wei thought that he was originally a decorator, and Xu Hong's portrait of him made people feel like a migrant worker doing decoration at first glance! Because, in order to truly show the life of a decorator, Xu Hong had some paints and coatings of various colors used to decorate the house on the clothes and hair of the characters in the painting. At first glance, Xu Hong painted a decoration worker.

"Haha! What do you say, give a 'decorator' name. Do you think this is appropriate!" Xu Hong couldn't help but laugh twice when he heard Chen Wei's words, feeling that Chen Wei really didn't have any artistic cells when he said this.

"What's out of place. Am I originally a decorator!" Chen Wei said disapprovingly.

"You're a good decorator, but if you become a painting, you can't be called a decorator anymore. It doesn't make much sense to name a painting like this. ”

"What should it be called?" asked Chen Wei puzzled.

"To name a painting, you have to have a certain degree of artistry, because the painting itself is a work of art, and you can't make the name of the painting too vulgar, so that there will be no artistry, and there will be no attractive effect. ”

As a professional painter, Xu Hong knows that it is also very important to name a painting, just like naming a person, it must have a certain meaning. What's the point of just giving a vulgar name.

For example, some of the works we often see about plum blossoms generally have a very poetic name, such as "Ice and Snow Proud Bone", "Proud Frost and Snow", "Jade Bone Red Face", and other poetic names. It will not be given a cheesy name such as 'red plum', 'snow plum', 'jade plum', and so on.

"Xu Hong, do you know what kind of name you should give this painting? I don't know if you don't know it yourself!"

Chen Wei saw that Xu Hong talked about some theories again, but didn't say what the name of the painting was, so he wondered if Xu Hong hadn't figured out what the name of the painting should be!

"Haha, I've thought about it a long time ago, this painting should be called 'dream'. Just this one word, how do you feel? "Xu Hong talked for a long time, and even called this painting 'dream'. This made Chen Wei a little baffled.

"What do you say, call this painting 'Dream'. This painting is a decorator, and it has a hairy relationship with 'dreams'. Chen Wei didn't understand what Xu Hong meant when he said this.

"Can't a decorator have a dream? Don't you still want to be a great painter! Isn't this your dream? I call this painting a dream, that is, ordinary people can also have dreams and realize their dreams, don't you think this is appropriate?"

After listening to Xu Hong's explanation, Chen Wei felt a little suddenly enlightened.

"Oh, Xu Hong, what you said is really good, if you don't say that, I really don't feel that there is any relationship between 'dream' and a 'decorator', you say this, I really feel that the relationship between the two is very close!"

"Don't you think that I gave such a poetic name to this painting, so that this painting immediately became expressive and attractive. ”

Xu Hong said, picked up the brush again, dipped it in ink, and then wrote a big word 'dream' in the blank space in the upper right corner of this painting.

As a painter, it is also necessary to practice calligraphy, and you must not practice calligraphy all day like a real calligrapher, but you must also find time to practice. If you don't have the level of calligraphy, then how can you paint a painting well! As the saying goes, calligraphy and painting are inseparable from painting.

Of course, Xu Hong also practiced calligraphy, and he practiced calligraphy. The dream character I write now is calligraphy.

Xu Hong doesn't like regular script very much. Because this kind of writing is a printed text, although it is very fair, it lacks some agility. Naturally, there is a lack of beauty. It's unattractive.

Although cursive writing is very artistic, it makes people feel a little nonsense, not very serious, and more importantly, the words written in cursive are not recognized by ordinary people, and only people who have a certain level of appreciation of cursive can see the calligraphy content of cursive.

For calligraphy, Xu Hong still likes to write. Because the line of calligraphy, between regular script and cursive script, since there is a neat side of regular script, there is also a smart side of cursive script. It can be said that it is the best of both worlds.

In fact, in reality, this is also the case, walking calligraphy is the most commonly used writing habit of people. Ordinary students, teachers, and writers use calligraphy when writing manuscripts by hand. Writing in this way can not only improve the speed of writing, but also have the beauty of calligraphy.

Xu Hong is a painter, and his calligraphy level is naturally not comparable to some calligraphy masters, but compared with ordinary people, he is definitely a 'calligrapher'.

Now Xu Hong has put his pen down, and in the upper right corner of his portrait of Chen Wei, he has written a big word 'dream'.

The word 'dream' is very well written, and it can be said that it can be done in one go. When people look at it, it feels like the words inscribed by a great calligrapher.

"Oh, Xu Hong, you won't still be a calligrapher, right! Why, this 'dream' character is so well written!" Chen Wei saw that Xu Hong had written an elegant and free word 'dream' on the drawing paper, and he looked at Xu Hong in amazement, feeling that Xu Hong was really a versatile person.

"Well, it's nothing, as a painter, it's also necessary to learn some basic skills of calligraphy. When I was in college, I had a calligraphy teacher who taught us calligraphy. ”

Xu Hong's words are naturally true, he did learn some knowledge of calligraphy when he was studying at the Central Academy of Fine Arts before his death.

"Xu Hong, in this way, if I want to become a painter, I also need to learn some calligraphy knowledge. As soon as Chen Wei saw that Xu Hong could not only paint, but also calligraphy, he thought that if he wanted to become a great painter, he must first learn some calligraphy skills!

"It's up to you, if you want to learn some calligraphy. It's just that for a painter, the skill of calligraphy is secondary. As long as the handwriting is not ugly, you don't need to write at the level of a calligrapher. ”

Xu Hong listened to Chen Wei's words, and felt a little ridiculous in his heart, thinking that this person had not even mastered the basic skills of painting, so he wanted to learn calligraphy knowledge again!

However, he can't directly laugh at Chen Wei, after all, he himself is just an ordinary person now!

"I think I'd better practice calligraphy first! I really want to write now!" Chen Wei said, picked up the brush Xu Hong had just used, took a blank piece of paper from the table, and began to practice calligraphy.

Practicing calligraphy may be much easier than drawing. In any case, as long as you have gone to school, you can write, and you can write, so you can naturally practice calligraphy.

It's a different story with drawing, if you don't know how to draw, even if you hold a brush and paper, you don't know what to do, you don't know what to draw.

Practicing calligraphy is relatively not so difficult. As long as you hold a brush and write on the paper, it doesn't matter whether the written words look good or not, in short, you can write.

It's different with painting, if you don't know how to draw, you don't dare to draw at all. Because what you draw is the 'four dissimilarities'. Do you say you're embarrassed to draw a 'four dislikes' for others to see?

Practicing calligraphy is different. To practice calligraphy is to write. No matter what kind of words you write, even if he has no artistic beauty, it will definitely not be the 'four dissimilarities'. No matter how ugly it is, it's like words. Nor will it be written out that others do not recognize it.

As soon as Chen Wei saw that Xu Hong's calligraphy level was good, he became interested in practicing calligraphy again, and immediately took a paintbrush and wrote his name on a blank piece of paper.

After writing, he first admired it himself, and then brought it to Xu Hong and said, "Xu Hong, look at how I write, do I have the talent to practice calligraphy?" ”

Xu Hongzheng rolled up his portrait of Chen Wei, and then put it aside, ready to clean up and go to the local stall outside!

As soon as I saw the word 'Chen Wei' written by Chen Wei, I felt that although Chen Wei had no talent for painting, he still seemed to have a talent for calligraphy.

Because the word 'Chen Wei' written by Chen Wei is very powerful, although it seems a little stiff in the penmanship, it makes people feel that he has practiced calligraphy skills.

"Oh, Chen Wei, I think you still have a lot of calligraphy talent! I think, you might as well change your career to become a calligrapher!" Xu Hong took the two words 'Chen Wei' written by Chen Wei and admired it for a while, feeling that Chen Wei had some calligraphy talent.

"Really, I have a talent for calligraphy. When Chen Wei heard Xu Hong's words, he seemed a little excited, as if he didn't know that he had this talent.

"Of course, the word 'Chen Wei' you wrote is very artistic, very powerful, and very imposing, and I feel that it is better than the word 'dream' I wrote!"

Xu Hong, of course, was deliberately saying some polite words now. Although Chen Wei's handwriting is good, it is really much worse than the word 'dream' written by Xu Hong.

"Really, my handwriting is so good-looking, how do I feel, my handwriting is not as good-looking as yours!" Chen Wei was a little strange when he heard Xu Hong's words. felt that Xu Hong was deliberately praising him.

"I mean, in terms of strength, your two words are more imposing. Xu Hong explained casually. "Okay, then I'll write another word 'dream'. Look at it, isn't it better than what you wrote. ”

After Chen Wei finished speaking, he picked up the brush again, dipped it in some ink, and then wrote a big word 'dream' on the drawing paper.

This word 'dream' is next to the two words 'Chen Wei' he wrote just now, and he wants to compare it with the two words he just wrote to see if there is any progress.

"How is it, Xu Hong, is my 'dream' character written very beautifully. After Chen Wei finished writing, he took the drawing paper and showed it to Xu Hong!

Xu Hong looked at the word 'dream' written by Chen Wei and said with a smile: "Well, yes, I really have a talent for practicing calligraphy, and your 'dream' is even more beautiful than my 'dream'! You can continue to 'dream' at home! I will go outside to 'dream'." After Xu Hong finished speaking, he picked up the sketch and walked out of the room. (To be continued.) )
