Yun'er brought back some information and samples related to wheat straw painting through the air, and almost shocked his eight big disciples. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info was the same as when he saw the ribbon embroidery, first stunned for a moment, and then screamed loudly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, how many of you are the Lady of the Commandment, do you have to make a terrifying noise? Especially the Duchess of the Kingdom, you should be an example for everyone, why is your scream no less than that of any lady? ”

The fish said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, the fish lost his temper when he saw that the sample you held up was so beautiful." ”

Yun'er smiled: "Okay, okay, today we will learn the wheat straw painting in the frame." ”

"Master, what are you talking about? Are these beautiful frames made of wheat straw? Are you sure? ”

"What does the lady of the steward think?"

"The fish thought it was a special embroidery thread, bright and shiny. Can wheat straw also paint? ”

"The content of our class today is wheat straw painting. It can be said that wheat straw painting is a unique handicraft of our Han nationality, and it is also called folk clip art. Don't look at it, the material is simple, but it's hard to make. It belongs to the same art as paper-cutting and cloth stickers. It is very troublesome to make, and the wheat straw used for painting has to go through multiple processes such as 'smoking, steaming, bleaching, scraping, pushing, ironing, and cutting, carving, weaving, and painting', and the use of the wheat straw itself is used to cut and paste according to the needs of the picture. It has the advantages of luster translucent, good decorative effect and strong artistic appeal. The figures, flowers, birds, and animals produced are lifelike, vivid, giving people a simple and natural, noble and elegant beauty, and are known as 'a must for folk art'. That's what I'm talking about. ”

"I won't go into detail about its history and artistic appreciation and variety. Let's start the operation directly, the biggest feature of this skill is trouble. I estimate that it is a bit difficult to popularize it in our house, and if the eight of you have to learn it, it may be a good job. Because its raw material is wheat straw, like corn husk, it is very easy to collect, and the cost is also very cheap. The first process is ...... smoking, who will give me some water to drink? I'm dying of thirst. ”

Shui'er said, "Wait a minute, Shui'er will serve you tea." ”

In Yun'er's words, after some tossing, the first wheat straw painting "Lotus Kingfisher" came out. Yun'er's eight eldest disciples didn't believe that this slim picture of a lotus flower and kingfisher came from his subordinates. This is a relatively simple picture chosen by Yun'er, and it can't be so complicated for beginners. But each process is complete, and the operation of each teacher is very rigorous. The wheat straw painting was better than Yun'er expected. Then put the frames, glass, and nails in place, and then take them to the Jade Dragon Gallery for trial sale. This work was completed by many people, and it was much more troublesome than the peony picture painted by Yun'er, so the price was set at eight hundred taels.

Yun'er felt that the price was set high, so she asked her cousin to lower it a little. As a result, the next day it was bought for 1,200 taels, and it was the price given by the buyer himself. Minghe had already told him that he could take it for six hundred taels, but as a result, the people who looked at the paintings began to auction, and each paid more than the other, and the one who gave the most money soared to two thousand taels. Minghe didn't dare to ask for so much, 1,200 taels were finalized. If you don't buy it, you can order it here in Minghe, and you also put forward your own requirements: there are peonies, peacocks, cranes, and pavilions. Narutsuru carefully wrote down all the requirements of these orderers and collected the deposit for the order. And tell all the orderers that this kind of painting is quite troublesome, it is made of processed wheat straw, and the process is very complicated, and I hope to give you a relaxed time.

The orderers are very clear and understanding, saying: when to make it and when to calculate, it is very reasonable.

When the information was fed back to Yun'er, Yun'er was a little unconvinced, and asked her cousin who came to deliver the letter in person: "Didn't you say it was a wheat straw painting?" ”

"Naturally, I said it, but I don't need to say that it is made of wheat straw. Guests just like it, and it's hard to buy happy with money. I received the deposit, each painting was charged by five hundred taels, this is the deposit, my sister quickly accepted it, and I was a little worried about it in the small shop, afraid that I would have ulterior motives to know that I came to ask for money in the middle of the night. ”

"Don't be too careful. How did those pro-soldiers behave? ”

"Okay, but it's hard enough, don't treat others badly when the time comes."

Yun'er felt that wheat straw painting was very troublesome, the process was also very complicated, and it took a long time, so she didn't want to do this. The prince said: "You are a talented woman who sometimes doesn't settle accounts. It seems that the production cycle is a bit long, but the economic benefits are high, isn't it more profitable than those sachet handbags? ”

"Or are you cunning, our Xuan'er's interest in numbers is your genetics."

Wang Ye laughed: "Xuan'er has inherited the fine tradition of the Chen family, and this king is not good at number games. By the way, we've been worried about whether Rui'er will give birth to a child who will be inherited after her cousin gets married, guess what? That's it, Fu Jin said......"

Yun'er was shocked and hurriedly asked, "Is Happy Happy a fool?" ”

"When did I say that our grandchildren and granddaughters were fools? I said they were genetic. Does heredity have to be bad? Our grandchildren and granddaughters are quite smart! I've heard that there are cousins in other places who get married and give birth to children who have the good genes of their parents, for example, the great scientist Albert Einstein's parents are aunts and cousins, and that one is a rare cousin, and it seems to be a celebrity, right? It is also the product of my aunt and cousin. ”

Yun'er laughed so much that her intestines were about to break, the prince's memory was really good, even Hitler remembered it, and he was still scarce. There is a great assertion that aunts and cousins can inherit good genes when they get married, breaking the traditional thinking that has been going on for a long time, and it makes sense if you think about it carefully.

After practice, the eight teaching grandmothers are proficient in the production of wheat straw paintings, and all skills are the same, after a long period of practice, from raw to ripe, step by step, practice makes perfect.

Wheat straw is the most common, common and least expensive raw material for wheat straw painting. It can be produced in large quantities, not only in the capital, but also in Jinling, Jinan, Hangzhou, Suzhou and other metropolises where literati gather. The Zhenyuan Dart Bureau has almost become a professional bodyguard team of Ruiwangfu, transporting all kinds of materials from the house to all parts of the country through the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal.

"Then popularize it." Yun'er said, "Find a person who is specifically responsible for buying wheat straw, go to the countryside to harvest wheat straw, and then pick out a few personal soldiers who are responsible for the process of smoking, steaming, bleaching, scraping, pushing, and scalding.

Yun'er found that these personal soldiers, guards, servants, eunuchs and maids in the palace were all willing to learn the skills brought back by the three princes, whether they were easy to learn or difficult to learn, and they were all not afraid of hardship, trouble, dirt or tiredness. It's a bonad! Yun'er has always had a worry in her heart, not knowing who will leave and who will stay when she leaves this world in the future. Naturally, there is no need to worry about walking, what should I do if I can't go? If the prince is gone, this palace will change hands, so will these people who were in the palace before be kicked out of the gate? How do they live? What do you live on? If it weren't for the fact that it didn't involve skills that shouldn't reveal the secrets of foreign lands, such as exotic painting methods, exotic household appliances and generators, computers, sewing machine operations, etc., those handicrafts should be made for those left behind as a means of survival, right? For example, the skills of making sachets, purses, handbags, weaving ruyi knots, and clothing cutting are some of the original skills of the Qing Dynasty, so they are not secrets, right?

At this time, I heard the kind voice of the master: "Yun'er, you think right, think well. Indeed, there are those who cannot go with you, and they will leave the palace in the future to fend for themselves. Such a person should have several skills by his side, your skills have not yet been fully transmitted, the goods should be sold quickly, and the skills should be taught quickly. ”

"Thank you, Master! Disciple obeys! Yun'er folded her hands and expressed her gratitude reverently.

Following the wheat straw painting is the shell painting, Yun'er has a lot of shells that can be used for shell painting, but it is not bought, it is given to Yun'er by Xiaoli. Yun'er just wants to practice it and see if the Eight Great Teachings can accept it. Some of the people who live by the sea in foreign lands specialize in collecting shells on the beach, which can be used not only to make shell paintings, but also to make shell crafts. Yun'er has shells glued out of the big rooster, hedgehog, wind chimes, sailboats, flower baskets, ornaments, vases, birds, dragons and phoenixes and other shell carving handicrafts. The tiny conch can also be worn as a curtain.

Yun'er didn't make a few shell paintings, but she did a lot of shell crafts, and she wore dozens of curtains, so she used up the shells and small conch she brought back. I took it to the Jade Dragon Gallery as handicrafts and craft paintings, and I quickly bought them. The price of shell paintings and shell handicrafts is not very high, a large painting is only 180 taels of silver, and a handicraft is only 10 taels of silver, and this business project is over.

Next, Yun'er will teach the grandmothers to make decorative paintings. In fact, decorative paintings existed in the Warring States period, and are divided into figurative themes, imagery themes, flower themes, portrait themes, abstract themes and comprehensive themes. The purpose is to play a role in decoration and beautification.

Decorative paintings are often decorated with the surface of buildings, giving the surrounding environment a corresponding artistic atmosphere, making the environment beautiful and decent, and can increase the spatial feeling and artistic atmosphere of the room, which are widely used in homes, hotels and offices in foreign countries. It is suitable for expressing beautiful, festive, lyrical and romantic realms.

Decorative paintings have a painting core, and the content of the painting core can be oil paintings, Chinese paintings, printed pictures and this kind of weaving, embroidery, ironing, pasting and other craft paintings. Chinese painting decorative painting refers to the creation of completed Chinese painting, oil painting, hand-painted Chinese painting, all of which have artistic value, and the price will be very high.

The finished Chinese painting must be framed before it can be hung or placed as a decorative painting. Mounting is divided into hard mounting and soft mounting. Hard mounting refers to the frame of glasses, and soft mounting refers to framing into a painting scroll, which belongs to the pure Chinese style. Due to the characteristics of the painting material and pigment, oil paintings also need to be framed or frameless bound before they can be hung and appreciated.

The core materials include cotton, oil canvas, matte paper, silk cloth, non-woven fabric, rice paper, etc. The regional style suitable for the Qing Dynasty belongs to Chinese decorative paintings, which can be used in hotel decoration, home decoration, bedroom decoration, hotel decoration, living room dining room decoration, entrance decoration, kitchen decoration and children's room decoration. It is more suitable for mosaic decorative paintings, silk decorative paintings, yarn decorative paintings, paper-cut decorative paintings, knotted rope decorative paintings, etc., according to the color system, it is more suitable for color decorative paintings, and according to the material, it is more suitable for solid wood frame decorative paintings, frameless decorative paintings.

Framed decorative paintings are more traditional, formal and elegant, in line with classical and slightly traditional decoration. Yun'er still has a lot of frames in her hands, whether it is freehand flowers and birds or Gongbi flowers and birds, the core of the painting immediately looks magnificent, graceful and luxurious when put into the frame. The price of such decorative paintings will also be high.

In terms of production, the decorative paintings of the Qing Dynasty can be divided into physical mounted decorative paintings and hand-painted decorative paintings. Yun'er's freehand flowers and birds are all hand-painted, and the physical framed decorative paintings can be cross-stitch, Suzhou embroidery, ribbon embroidery and other embroidery, jade, porcelain, or cloth stickers.

Hand-painted decorative paintings have the highest artistic value and should also be expensive.

Oil painting decorative paintings have an aristocratic atmosphere, belong to pure hand-made, the content of the picture is landscapes, figures and still lifes, fortunately, Yun'er has learned the painting method of oil painting with Lan Lan.

In addition, there are exotic nouveau riche paintings, dynamic paintings, characterized by beautiful patterns, bright colors, landscapes, mountains and flowing waters, simple and elegant. There are also wooden paintings, gold leaf paintings, photography paintings, silk paintings, weaving paintings, branding paintings, and pressed flower paintings.

Yun'er explained the purpose, significance, production method, and skills of making decorative paintings to the eight teachers in detail in two classes, and by the way, she also told the eight big disciples about the paintings that were not suitable for hanging at home. One is that paintings that are too dark in color and too much black should not be hung. Such a painting looks heavy-hearted, depressed, pessimistic, and impulsive; The fierce beast should not be hung. This type of painting affects people's health; Abstract paintings should not be hung, otherwise the family's mood will be bad, the heart will be unbalanced, and it is easy to have allergies; Paintings of sunset should not be hung, and such pictures have a decadent feeling; The portrait of the deceased loved one should not be hung, which will make people feel very stressful; Paintings with waterfall pictures should not be hung, such paintings will ruin the owner's luck; A picture with too much red should not be hung, it will make the family grumpy.

In the course of decorative painting alone, Yun'er taught two lessons, what kind of decorative painting is used in what kind of materials, and how to make it specifically.

Yun'er took the grandmothers to make four freehand flower and bird screens with rice paper painting core, plywood as the backing, wood line frame, and rosewood matte paint, as well as paper-cut decorative paintings with white backgrounds and red paper with picture frames, freehand sketches with cardboard borders, as well as decorative paintings such as cross-stitch, ribbon embroidery, and cloth cut-paste, which were sold at the Yulong Gallery, gathering all the people who loved art in the Qing Dynasty, and willingly gave all the money in their pockets to Zhou's shopkeeper.

Someone saw the ribbon embroidery work, so he said to Zhou Minghe: "Previously, there were such beautiful things in Yulong Buzhuang and Nalan Department Store, all of which were very practical handbags, pillows, and aprons, why were they suddenly gone?" Is the amount of pillow material in the pillow too much? Then you are responsible for making the outer skin, and we will solve the core inside. ”

Zhou Minghe is already too busy here, and the Jade Dragon Commercial Bank is also overcrowded. I can only ask my cousin Yun'er for help. Yun'er was worried about how to use those colorful ribbons quickly, and her cousin sent such a message, and the guest officer solved the pillow core by himself? Doesn't that save a lot of effort? Even sewing machine processing takes time, right? So some people were allocated to make decorative paintings, and some people to make ribbon embroidery. The girls and grandmothers who lived in Xuanwang's Mansion from the palace had never seen the ribbon embroidery, and after seeing the sample, the scream could reach two thousand decibels.

Fortunately, at that time, the Queen Mother gave the two princes 900 palace maids and shared a lot of fabric production tasks.

When the trays of ribbons embroidered with ribbons were sent to their hands, they all looked like they were going to eat people, and no one wanted to get them down with their materials.

There is also the embroidery sticker that has also been re-mentioned, that is, embroidered ready-made embroidery, whoever buys it and takes it home can directly use it in the place where embroidery is needed. It's time-saving, labor-saving, and beautiful.

There are also the skills of knitting sweaters, knitting gloves, making jewelry, and hooking vests and shawls. In the past, it was a learning art, but now it is a product.
