Seeing Li Yi's eyes widening, Xu Ling shook his head with a smile,

"Listen to your Senior Brother Zhong's nonsense! The three of us are stained with your light, and we came here to skip the class. ”

After chatting for a few words, Li Yi realized that he knew that Hu Jinquan was going to give him a lecture today, so Zhong Haoqing asked her three disciples to come over and listen.

"Tsk, you don't seem to be very good at painting this mountain stone, boy, this thought is not on this, is it?"

Zhong Qi is relatively young, and the friendship between the two of them has established with the same enemy in "Shencui Xuantu" before, so he is not so polite to speak.

"No, are you looking at his paintings? Why do I feel good about these pictures? I'll go, you kid is really fake, it's only been a few days, and you've made so much progress? ”

Xu Ling also had a few copies of Li Yi's homework in his hand, but unlike Zhong Qi, he was looking at what Li Yi had just drawn yesterday, while Zhong Qi was looking at Li Yi's homework on his first day in the studio.

"Huh? You kid deliberately teased me, didn't you? Come on, you can draw me one now, and let me see which one is your true level! ”

After Zhong Qi looked at the dates on a few assignments, he was very depressed, so he simply threw them aside and directly urged Li Yi to paint on the spot.

And Li Yi had just thought through some questions in the morning, and felt that his state of mind seemed to have taken a small step forward, and he was also trying to see what it would look like if he reflected it on the painting, so he didn't refuse, and directly put on a posture and painted.

The door was softly opened, Hao Jianbin and Wang Songnian walked in together, and Xu Ling hurriedly made a silent gesture towards them.

Hao Wang and the others were about to say hello to everyone. Looking at Xu Ling's gesture, he couldn't help but show a puzzled expression. Xu Ling pointed his finger at Li Yi, who was concentrating on painting, and said softly to the two people who crept to him:

"Zhong Qi said to see his current level."

As he spoke, he handed over a few pieces of homework that he and Zhong Qi had just looked at.

"The little junior brother has made so much progress in the past few days, and we all feel a little unbelievable."

Hao Jianbin stretched out his hand to take over the homework, the first two were nothing, but when he saw the next few photos, his eyes almost didn't pop out, this Nima was really painted by one person?

It can't be, it's only been four days. It's only been four days, is it true that they are all as old as dogs?

glanced at Wang Songnian, who had a similar expression next to him, and was about to laugh at himself. Suddenly, I heard Zhong Qi, who had been standing behind Li Yi, scream violently,

"Damn, this kid, he's wicked. I even drew bouldering......"

"Who painted bouldering?"

The others hadn't had time to answer. Hu Jinquan had already strode into the studio, while Liu Shuying, Zhong Haoqing's second disciple, followed him closely, carrying a heavy plastic bag in his hand.

"Except for the little junior brother, there is no one else, this guy actually used the bouldering method to draw the mountain stone just now, and the painting actually looks like it...... Mr. Hu, you can't hide your privacy later. Be sure to give us a few more tricks, this kind of method. I've been practicing for more than three months, and I don't feel as good as half of what Li Yi and this kid painted! ”

Because Zhong Qi and Zhong Haoqing are related, he has always been not so restrained when talking to Hu Jinquan, so when he heard that he was asking, he didn't mean to hide his emotions at all, and even complained with a gesture, anyway, he praised your old man's disciple!

Hearing Zhong Qi say this, Hu Jinquan was also surprised. In the past few days, let alone bouldering, he hasn't even told Li Yi the most basic method of painting mountain stones, everything is his own reading of materials and textbooks.

The reason why he arranged today's class was because he read Li Yi's homework yesterday and felt that the heat was almost over, but why did a bouldering pop up again?

After guessing that Fu Baoshi was likely to be one of the generations of Ding Yi, he specially studied Fu Baoshi's painting style, because he wanted to find some traces of the owner of the bouldering Zhai from the imitation of the "Pine and Cypress Eagle".

It may be that I have been in contact with more in the past few days, or it may be that I have been painting mountains and rocks for a few days, and I feel that there is no new stimulation, anyway, when Li Yi was just lifting the pen, the picture of Fu Baoshi's works appeared in his mind, but I didn't expect that after trying, I really drew a little bit of bouldering.

Glancing at Li Yi's latest homework, Hu Jinquan nodded, did not comment, turned around and went directly in front of everyone, and said:

"Now that you're all here, let's get started."

Seeing that several disciples quickly pulled over the bench to do a good job, Hu Jinquan turned around and wrote two big characters of dragon flying and phoenix dancing on the blackboard on the wall, which was specially used to draw sketches on the wall, and asked his heart!

"Some people specifically use the three realms of Zen Buddhism to describe the stages of calligraphy and painting, these words, I have also mentioned sporadically before, today, take this opportunity, I am ready to talk about it systematically."

"In the first realm, seeing the mountains is the mountains, and seeing the water is the water. This realm is about us honing our painting skills, and reflecting the people, scenes, and objects we see into our paintings as realistically as possible. ”

After a pause, Hu Jinquan continued:

"I don't need to give more examples of this, because the most prominent thing here is portrait painting, some good portrait painters, their works are even more real and wonderful than photographs. But what I want to emphasize here is that, in fact, even if this kind of technical thing has reached the peak of the realm, it cannot be called a master, because his mountain is still a mountain, and the water is still water. ”

"In the second realm, seeing the mountain is not the mountain, and seeing the water is not water. In this realm, the painter still seems to paint the same landscape, but this landscape is very different from the landscape in the first stage. This landscape is the landscape in the eyes of the painter, and it is the landscape he wants to tell everyone, that is to say, this is a landscape with the painter's strong subjective feelings! ”

"Looking at it horizontally, it is a peak on the side of the ridge, and the height is different from far and near! The world in everyone's eyes is different, and this is different, it is not the world that plays a decisive role, but people's mood and feelings! ”

"To give a very simple example, take the most obvious Western abstract oil paintings, and their masterful works illustrate this very well."

"In their works, whether it is distorted, absurd, or the application of light and shadow, they are all the projections of the concrete world in the painter's mind, and what we see is what the painter wants us to see, and from his point of view, it is a highly refined abstract description of everything in this world."

"When it comes to ink painting, you will feel that some masters' landscape paintings are majestic and immense, while some masters, even if they paint magnificent mountains and rivers, still give people a feeling of small bridges and flowing waters, and they are at ease, which is what the painter wants to express in his works is felt by you."

And in order to do this, the first thing you have to do is the theme of this lesson, which is the conscience! Ask your heart what you want, what you want, what you are willing to give for the world, what you want to convey to the world......"

"Everyone, the path he has traveled and the scenery he has seen in this life are completely different from others. Specifically, each one is different, including his behavior, speech and actions, thoughts and cognitions, and many other aspects, all of which are unique, so his views on many things are also unique. And in order to embody this unique, unique soul imprint of each individual in your work, you have to figure out what it is! ”

"When we hone our painting skills and learn how to draw, our ultimate goal is nothing more than the hope that we can put what we think into our works, but you don't know what you are thinking and thinking, so even if you have the best painting skills, what can you do?"

"Therefore, conscience is the watershed between masters and ordinary calligraphers and painters!"

"And you, standing in front of this watershed now, if you want to go further, you can't solve this problem, and you don't want to take out your heart and torture it bloodily, then you can only stand here forever, and you can't see the scenery on the other side of the ridge!"

Seeing that several disciples either lowered their heads in contemplation, or frowned and pondered, Hu Jinquan nodded,

"Painting is like this, calligraphy is like this, and your life is like this!"

Is life the same?

In fact, when Hu Jinquan just said that the theme was the word "conscience", Li Yi knew that this lesson should have been deliberately prepared for him by the master. And the reason why I didn't tell him at the beginning should be that on the one hand, we should observe him to see what aspects he needs, and on the other hand, I should also want him to settle down first.

But at the beginning of speaking, Li Yi suddenly found that he seemed to be a little self-inflicted, because Hu Jinquan was really talking about something about the realm of calligraphy and painting, although these things can also be applied to other aspects, but this is not a lecture for him alone.

However, when Hu Jinquan said the last sentence, life is also like this, Li Yi suddenly realized that this was still a special lesson for him!

Recalling the period of time after returning to China, the painstaking deliberations of the two masters, Li Yi shook his head slightly, how can he de, the most important lesson in his life was actually taught to him by two top masters in the calligraphy and painting world!

Standing up, walking to the window, and looking at the weeds outside the wall, Li Yi had a lot of thoughts in his heart, and countless thoughts were intricate, and they surged up.

What does he want?

This question seems to be easy to answer!

He wants money, he wants treasures, he wants happiness, he wants the people around him to be healthy, and he wants ......

But can these things be embodied in the work? How?

Looking up and thinking for a while, he scratched his scalp.

Could it be that when he reached this realm, the painting he drew when he wanted to be lazy would be, and must be, an ingot-shaped mountain that looks lazy? (To be continued.) )
