Chapter 15: Studying the Art of Painting
When Liu Yan heard this, she blew up: "What are you talking about, Xi Qing, you may not be able to participate in what you mean, are you fooling me?" ”
"What am I fooling you for?"
"If you don't play well, you're not responsible to me. But I recommend you! ”
"I'm not responsible to you, like I've done something to you, why should I be responsible for you?"
"You..." Liu Yan jumped up with anger,
“…… Well, I'll try to go! ”
"It's not as much as possible, it's that you have to go." Yoo Yeon almost roared, she was angry.
"Okay, okay, I'll go, okay?"
Xi Qing hung up the phone, sometimes he really couldn't understand why this Liu Yan was chasing after him so hard.
However, why Liu Yan is like this, most of the time is that Liu Yan has seen Xi Qing's paintings and thinks that he is indeed a talent in this regard. A little more, and that could be... Is it addicted to arguing with Xi Qing?
The sunrise diluted the shy dew on the edge of the weeds, drove away the faint cold of last night, a touch of red glow, a smile hanging in the treetops, the peach blossoms were blown by the breeze on the trees, like a daughter being blown by a man, and the birds chirped, like a person watching the scenery.
It's not even seven o'clock.
Xi Qing got up so early, not because the early birds had worms, but because Xi Qing didn't have the habit of sleeping lazy at all.
After running in the nearby side streets for a while, coming back for a shower and breakfast, it will be eight o'clock. Then Xi Qing pedaled on his tricycle and rushed to school.
Although Xi Qing was not so interested in that painting competition, he had no choice but to participate in it, so he had to have a sense of responsibility.
For the sake of this sense of responsibility, Xi Qing thought it was better to be positive.
"Liu Yan, I'm here."
Out of politeness, Xi Qing called Liu Yan and reported.
Liu Yan received a call from Xi Qing, and to be honest, she was a little surprised: "Oh." There you are? Well, at 10 o'clock in the morning, don't be late for the sports classroom! ”
"Yes."
After talking to Liu Yan, Xi Qing dialed another one for Hao Le, and Xi Qing always felt that in terms of painting ability, the opponent of non-professional players was only Hao Le.
If he was Zhuge Kongming during the Three Kingdoms period, then Hao Le would be Gongjin Zhou Yu, but he and Hao Le were not opposing opponents, but good buddies who cherished each other. It's really a bit difficult to find a non-artistic "Sima Yi" character in the whole school.
Therefore, Xi Qing knew that his opponents were those two artistic beauties. Sun Tzu said in the Art of War that only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one survive a hundred battles.
Xi Qing is the one who is ready to enter the finals, so it is understandable to get to know these two girls.
"Hao Le. I'll come to school right away and ask you, did those two girls from Oriental Art make it to the finals? ”
"Yes." Hao Le replied truthfully.
"Do you know who they are?"
Hao Le laughed: "Of course I know, these two beauties have been very popular recently." One is called Ding Xinhua and the other is Tao Xiaoman. ”
"Who, who do you say?"
"Ding Xinhua."
"No, another?" Xi Qing said he couldn't believe it.
"The other, Tao Xiaoman. This girl is beautiful and has a small jasper. It is a recognized tweed among the art freshmen. The characteristic is that people are pitiful, just like the little sister next door to the big guy. ”
I can't say that the world is really too small.
No, this campus is too small.
Isn't she the girl she saved by coincidence that day?
Tao Xiaoman, she is actually in the same department as herself, and she has to compete with herself, if she can advance to the next level.
Tao Xiaoman's appearance didn't think about it, and he got in in an instant.
"What's wrong, Xi Qing, do you know her?"
"No, I don't know ......" Xi Qing didn't know why he lied at the time, "By the way, Hao Le, how are you preparing?" Do you have the confidence to play in a while? ”
"What do you say, do you still have faith? In addition to the professional, I must be the first in the rest. Hehe, if you want to be first, then I'll be second, how about it? ”
"Then you're going to have to do it..."
"Hehe, it sounds like you're cheating." Hao Le said.
"Brother is so cranky, don't accept it? Okay, I won't talk to you, I'm out of the house, and I'm almost there, we'll see you at school. ”
"Okay!"
…….
When he came to school, Xi Qing didn't expect Hao Le to compete with him early in the morning, because there was still more than an hour before the competition, Xi Qing agreed with a smile.
Coming to the classroom, Hao Le took out the companions needed for painting from his schoolbag.
Speaking of which, painting is a macroscopic art, and the simplest classification system is Eastern painting and Western painting. Oriental painting was developed from ancient Eastern civilizations such as ancient Egypt, Persia, India and China. The European power that developed from ancient Greece and Rome was Western painting; However, whether it is Western oil paintings, or Eastern prints and Chinese paintings, what is emphasized is an artistic conception, which is a measure used by people who are amazed in painting.
Being able to reach the Seven Realms is almost enough to convey the essence of the whole painting, which is vivid and lifelike.
But there are naturally many yardsticks for painting, and there are different standards for figures, landscapes, still lifes, and each of them. If you want to do a real competition, you need to be high. It is better to have the same subject matter, and the same thing on the table can better see whose skill is slightly better.
As the saying goes, it is difficult to draw bones when painting a dragon and a tiger, and this time, Hao Le proposed that the competition between the two is to draw bones, or the skull of a human who has only seen pictures and has never seen the real thing.
Xi Qing had no objection and agreed.
Between the two of them, the so-called masters are tricks, and it is difficult to distinguish between them.
After more than half an hour of competition, the bones depicted by the two at the moment are also somewhat similar, but the process of production is different.
This is not the first time Hao Le has created skulls. When he was a child, he learned to draw, and he practiced sketching plaster skulls. There is a basic understanding of the structure and shape of the bones of the human head. This covers the tilt of the eye sockets, nasal bones, and forehead, and knowing this, there is no doubt that the grasp of the work is higher, and the maturity is higher.
Originally, Xi Qing didn't have much confidence in drawing bones, which is not to say that Xi Qing didn't understand human skulls.
However, the difficulty of drawing a skull is that you not only need to know the shape of the skull, the symmetry of the skull, the brow arch, the cheekbones and other structures, but also the overall proportions of the bones and the connection between them, and the most important thing is the treatment of the light and dark lines.
In this kind of artistic purity and excellence in the expression of painting, there is no room for a trace of carelessness, and it needs to be immediate and effective.
Xi Qing has always been a little muddy for his first attempts at painting, his thinking is stalemate or chaotic, it is difficult to calm down, and his hands are not measured, and it is easy to add to the painting.
But this time, Xi Qing's painting ideas are much purer and cleaner, and there are no superfluous movements in his hands.
The image of the skull has always been in my mind, and there is no jerky holding the pen in my hand, as if I have practiced countless times. Naturally, it's that handful of aura again.
