Chapter 635 Polishing
Because, even if you can do some dark box operations in this competition through some kind of relationship, the entries in your hand must be excellent.
Because of this, Cheng Yihai wanted to change some of the rules of the 'National Youth Painting Competition'. But he is not the organizer of this 'National Youth Painting Competition', nor is he the leader of the Education Bureau. Not to mention the leader of the organizing committee of the 'National Youth Painting Competition' this time, if he wants to change the rules of this 'National Youth Painting Competition', of course it will be very difficult.
Ke Cheng Yihai knows that although he is not the leader of the organizing committee of the 'National Youth Painting Competition' this time, he knows the leader of the organizing committee. Through this relationship, I can achieve my idea of changing the assessment rules of the 'National Youth Painting Competition'.
In this way, Cheng Yihai gave big gifts to several main leaders of the organizing committee of the 'National Youth Painting' competition through bribery.
In such a situation, these leaders were willing to help Cheng Yihai, so they revised some of the previous regulations and came up with a new one. Speaking of this year's contest, we participate in the contest only with Western paintings. Chinese painting works are not allowed to participate in the competition.
Thinking about such a thing makes people very angry! The 'National Youth Painting Competition' held in his own country is not allowed to paint Chinese paintings. This is as if to say that there is a rule in a contest like the 'National Young Singer Competition' that you are not allowed to sing in Mandarin but in English, doesn't this make people very angry and want to scold their mothers!
Of course, this thing about painting is a little different from the thing about singing. Even if they are painters who mainly focus on Chinese painting, they will dabble in some knowledge of oil painting. After all, art is all connected. If you have learned other painting methods, you may have a certain reference for your current painting method.
In other words, even if they are very good at painting Chinese paintings, if they have to paint an oil painting. They can also paint an oil painting. Although, they may not be as good as the Chinese paintings they painted. But even if they paint oil paintings, they must be better than ordinary people.
Therefore, although this time the 'National Youth Painting Competition' has such a nondescript regulation, it makes people a little angry. But everyone can only accept it. After all, people are powerful people, and they can rule what they want, and if you suspect that other people's rules are not good, then you don't want to participate in such a competition. No one really wants you to participate in such a competition, is it all free and voluntary!
As a result, everyone had no choice but to acquiesce to such a rule, since it was stipulated that the entries for this year's 'Full Painting Youth Painting Competition' must be oil paintings, then everyone had to paint oil paintings again.
In this way, Xu Hong had no choice but to prepare to paint another oil painting. But if you want to paint another oil painting, it is not something that can be painted casually. What kind of work do you want to paint?
Xu Hong is now alone in a separate studio, and he began to conceive it. For the convenience of Xu Hong's painting. Li Wenhai specially equipped Xu Hong with a studio, which can also be said to be Xu Hong's studio alone.
In the past few days, Xu Hong has been thinking about the works he wants to paint. But he thought about it, and he didn't know what kind of work to paint. Oil painting was originally a form of painting that Xu Hong was not good at. The form of painting he is good at is Chinese painting, which is gongbi painting. Now that he wants to paint an oil painting, of course, he also feels a little embarrassed.
But no matter what, Xu Hong knew that before his death, he learned the painting method of oil painting, and even knew some very famous oil painting works. He knew that in the world before his death, there was an oil painting, which was very famous.
This oil painting is the most famous oil painting "Mona Lisa" that almost everyone knows in the world. The popularity of this work, in the world before Xu Hong's death, can be said to be that there is no oil painting that can be compared with it.
And in this parallel world, there is no such a very famous oil painting at all. Because, in this parallel world, Leonardo da Vinci is most likely not a painter at all. If he had never painted, how could he have painted such a masterpiece!
"Well, let's paint the Mona Lisa!" Xu Hong thought, this work, in his parallel world, is a hand-me-down, so if he copied it, in this parallel world, it will definitely become a hand-me-down.
So, Xu Hong walked to the painting clip, clamped the canvas, picked up a pencil, and first put it on this canvas. I painted a portrait of the Mona Lisa. After that, the portrait was carefully colored.
Painting oil painting is similar to painting with a brushstroke, that is, it must be very serious and meticulous. Because oil painting, like gongbi painting, is a kind of realism, which is to use the form of art to express real things in reality.
It is precisely because oil painting and gongbi painting have something in common. When Xu Hong paints oil paintings, he can learn from some of his own painting methods. In this way, even if he paints oil paintings, he will feel handy.
This "Mona Lisa" oil painting, Xu Hong originally copied it several times during his lifetime. It can be said that he is very skilled in painting. Now he didn't feel how difficult it was to copy such a masterpiece again.
But even so, Xu Hong painted for a week before completing such a 'masterpiece'. Of course, Xu Hong can also complete this work in a day or two. But that kind of painting, he just won't paint very well. This painting is like this, if you want to draw well, you have to work hard. Only when you take a long time to draw can you draw well.
Of course, Xu Hong also knew that he was 'cheating'! If this is the case, you can't paint too fast, if you paint this painting in one day, then others will be wondering, how did you paint it! It takes several days for others to conceive just to conceive, but if you are good, you can paint a good work in one day, which will make people wonder if you are original!
Even after Xu Hong had completed this work within a week, he didn't show it to Li Wenhai right away. After all, he knew that even if it took a week to complete an oil painting, it would seem a bit rushed! Generally speaking, it would take at least a month to paint a relatively large oil painting!
It only took one week for Xu Hong to finish this "Mona Lisa," which makes people wonder how he painted it! Because of this, Xu Hong did not rush to show it to Li Wenhai after finishing this work within a week, but he just put the painting on top of the painting folder and admired it for another week, and of course, he would depict it again to some extent. After all, this painting doesn't actually say when it will be painted, even if it is finished, then there is no need to move a single stroke.
It's the same as drawing, it's the same as writing. After you finish writing an article, you can still make some revisions and polish it! This painting is even more so, after you feel that the painting is finished, you can still continue to polish it!
This polishing is endless, it doesn't mean that your painting has been polished, you don't need to polish it anymore, even if it's a single stroke, there is no such absolute thing. Drawing is not about doing homework. When you're done, you're done, and you don't have to do it again.
It's a work of art that knows no bounds. You can polish this piece all the time. Even if you paint this work in one day, and then polish this work for another year, it's okay. Even if you polish it for another year, it doesn't mean that this work has been polished to the limit, but it is just a stroke of retouching. It's impossible.
It's like when you write an article and then you start to revise it, and this process of revision, that's the process of polishing an article. The process of writing may be limited, you may be able to write this work in an hour, but the process of revision is unlimited, and you can revise it an infinite number of times. Revise until you're satisfied. But even if you are satisfied for the time being, if you look at the work in a few days, you may feel that you are not satisfied with some things, in which case, you can continue to revise.
Therefore, the process of artistic creation is a unified process of finite and infinite, which is different from other aspects of work. There is a famous saying that says it well. 'Art knows no bounds'. This is the truest portrayal of art.
It only took Xu Hong a week to create his "Mona Lisa". However, he did not immediately show the painting to Li Wenhai to see, he polished it himself for another week, and after feeling very satisfied, he decided to show the painting to Li Wenhai.
Now Xu Hong took this painting and came to Li Wenhai's office.
As soon as Li Wenhai saw Xu Hong arrive in his office, he seemed to be holding a painting in his hand, and he felt that this might be another oil painting painted by Xu Hong, but in just two weeks, Xu Hong had completed another oil painting, and this speed also surprised Li Wenhai a little!
Originally, Li Wenhai thought that it might take Xu Hong a month to paint this oil painting, but now that Xu Hong had completed this oil painting in only two weeks, he was of course a little surprised. After all, Li Wenhai is also a professional, although he is not good at oil painting, but he also knows that painting oil painting is a very long process, and ordinary people who learn to paint are reluctant to paint oil painting, because painting requires a lot of patience. It is impossible for an impatient person to learn oil painting well.
"Principal Lee. Xu Hong looked at Li Wenhai and said politely.
"Xu Hong, what's the matter, have you already finished painting your oil paintings?" Li Wenhai looked at Xu Hong with a suspicious gaze.
Xu Hong listened to Li Wenhai's words, but he didn't say anything first. Instead, he took a few steps forward and put the painting in his hand in front of Li Wenhai. After that, he looked at Li Wenhai again and said, "Yes, I have already painted my oil painting, now I ask Principal Li to take a look, if the painting is good, you can use this work to participate in the competition." If I don't feel like I'm drawing a good painting, I can just paint another one. ”
As he spoke, Xu Hong opened the painting that was placed in front of Li Guang. Li Wenhai also quietly watched Xu Hong's movements. When Xu Hong opened the painting completely. Li Wenhai felt his eyes light up, he rubbed his eyes, and couldn't believe that he had seen everything. In front of me, this vivid and vivid oil painting is an excellent work that Xu Hong completed in only two weeks.
Li Wenhai carefully admired this oil painting by Xu Hong, and the more he looked at it, the more surprised he felt. This painting is so good, he has grown so big, I don't feel like I have seen such a good oil painting.
Because of the woman in this painting, her facial features are truly amazing. Because, when you look at it, you feel that she is laughing, but if you look closely, you feel that she is not laughing. But when you look at it, you feel like she's laughing again.
The facial features of the woman on this picture are between smiling and not smiling, which can be said to be smiling but not smiling, plausible, and unpredictable. In short, this woman just gives people a mysterious smile and makes people curious about her all of a sudden.
It's amazing to be able to draw a character like this. One of the biggest difficulties of the so-called realistic works is that they can make the works 'live' while being realistic. That is, you are drawing something real in reality. This thing, in your pen, just has a very similar 'shape'. At the same time, there should be a very similar 'God'. To achieve both form and spirit, such a work can be called a superior work.
And Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa" can be said to be the pinnacle of this aspect. The image of the woman in this work is more than just a woman. What is more important is the 'God' that this woman shows. is what makes her fall for all beings.
In fact, we can all see that in the work "Mona Lisa". The image of this woman itself is not very beautiful. Or rather, she is not a top beauty. But when you admire her, you will feel that she is getting more and more beautiful. You will feel that she is the most beautiful woman in the world.
That's where the author's brilliance lies. Leonardo da Vinci painted us a woman who was not very beautiful, but very beautiful. She didn't look like she was smiling, but her smile was already imprinted in the hearts of people all over the world.
