Zhong Qi has been communicating with Hu Jinquan, but Li Yi, who was sitting on the side, has never spoken. From the moment he heard Hu Jinquan ask him to paint that cliff, he was thinking about what kind of way to perfectly express this spectacular and monotonous, shocking but incomprehensible landscape.

The first thing he thought of was the long scroll of landscapes, since there was a lack of local changes and insufficient elements, it should be possible to improve the scope of the framing to a certain extent.

It's just that if it's really a long scroll, there will be more elements to be incorporated. Moreover, this place seems to lack a kind of momentum, because it looks quite shocking at first, but if you look closely and experience it, it always feels as if something is missing.

Looking at the mountains and rivers outside the window, Li Yi quickly found the root cause, the mountains are not high enough, and the water is not vast enough, so everywhere gives people a feeling of small family.

After watching it a few more times and confirming this feeling, Li Yi rejected the idea of a long scroll of mountains and rivers from his heart. If you really want to do that, there are too many things that need to be artificially added, and if the scenery itself lacks that majestic and magnificent temperament, even if it is painted, it will give people a feeling of four dislikes.

The car soon arrived at Sandu, and drove forward for a few minutes, the river in front of it suddenly widened, and a large beach appeared, and at a bend not far in front of the beach, a red-roofed three-story building appeared in front of several people, and the resort arrived.

This resort is not big, at best it is a thousand square meters of land, but the greening is very good, and the back of the stone mountain, close to the river beach, is naturally a landscape, so the overall look gives people a good feeling.

In the resort, I saw a large pomegranate forest, which was in the flowering season, and the delicate and bright red pomegranate flowers were in full bloom, giving people an extraordinarily pleasing feeling. And the gardenia that Hu Jinquan said, because it is a southern variety, is planted in pots, large and small, dozens of pots together, the modern hotel lobby is a bit nondescript, but the rich floral fragrance wafting in the air makes people can't help but feel refreshed.

Two works in two days, time is pressing, so as soon as they put down their things, before they had time to carefully check the facilities of the room, Li Yi and Zhong Qi went out, one went straight to the pomegranate orchard, and the other walked slowly along the river beach, all the way to the way they came.

If you look closely, the shock when you just saw it disappeared without a trace, and without him, the river here is too narrow. The water is indeed very clear, but it is very shallow, only about a meter deep, so that the sand and pebbles at the bottom of the river can be seen clearly. As for the stone cliffs adjacent to the river, Li Yi estimates that it is difficult to exceed 60 meters in height, and it is too difficult to deal with such a scenery into that kind of majestic landscape painting.

It is true that when landscapes are painted, they will inevitably undergo a certain amount of artistic processing, but since they are processing, they must have the original form, and if they are too different from the original form, they will lose the meaning of sketching.

Li Yi was bored kicking the pebbles on the beach, while reviewing the masterpieces of the past dynasties in his mind, for a while, he shook his head helplessly, it seems that the master is really going to let him learn the law this time.

A landscape painting, if you want to paint with a sense of meaning, is nothing more than several aspects. The sense of space and hierarchy is indispensable, and if you go deeper, the temperament of the atmosphere, vastness, vastness, and distance is also indispensable for landscape paintings.

Of course, there are also famous landscapes in history, and some people can paint a small piece of landscape magnificently and magnificently just by virtue of their profound skills. But Li Yi knew that it was all under the premise of being tempered and hiding splendid treasures, and he didn't know how many spectacular mountains and rivers they had painted before, so that they could toss and turn in this small space, and painted such fine works with points and prejudices.

And these, with his current skills, should not be able to do it, and if he tries hard, the effect of the painting is mostly Dong Shi's imitation, smiling and generous.

However, Master should know more about his situation than himself, but he still assigned him such a topic, for what?

Thinking all the way, when Li Yi suddenly looked up, he found that he had already walked to a crossing, and couldn't help shaking his head slightly, it really didn't work, he still had to pull the red dust up, and drove on this road to turn around twice again and again to see if he could find any good entry points.

Returning along the same road, seeing that he was about to walk to the resort, Li Yi, who was frowning all the way, suddenly smiled dumbly, stupid, this is not a competition, why do you want him to think hard alone? There is a landscape next to you, and if you don't understand it, you won't ask for advice?

Even if Hu Jinquan is unwilling to give any hints in order to examine their abilities, he can argue with reason, this trip is originally to improve their ability level and broaden their horizons, if it turns out to be purely difficult, then what's the point?

Of course, this consultation is also knowledgeable, if you don't do anything, go up and ask how to solve it, most of them are going to eat closed-door soup. But if there is something to say, it proves that you have indeed thought carefully, and you should be able to get some guidance.

Thinking of this, Li Yi's mood relaxed suddenly, and suddenly, he felt that the mountains and rivers in front of him seemed to have become more vivid, especially not far ahead, the girls who stood on the two bamboo rafts and teased each other became more beautiful.

Li Yi and the others practiced the basic skills, and it took them five days, so when they came to Shidu, it happened to be Saturday morning. Although most people who come to Shidu will choose to live in the farmhouse near Badu and Jiudu, since Sandu can build a resort here, it means that there are still people who like the scenery here.

Compared with the deeper eighth, ninth and tenth crossings, the scenery of the first few crossings is relatively bland, the mountains are not so majestic, and the water is not so turbulent.

However, not everyone likes the feeling of majestic mountains and rivers, and not everyone is willing to drift in the turbulent water. Just like now, on a gentle and quiet water, a group of companions rowed a bamboo raft, splashed water, and even jumped into the water to toss when the interest came, which is also a different mood.

Standing on the beach from afar and watching the girls get happier and happier, Li Yi realized something in his heart. After a while, he nodded, turned and walked towards the resort.

"What, feel embarrassed? Do you think that all this in front of you is too different from the landscape paintings you have seen in the past? ”

Hu Jinquan seemed to have expected that Li Yi would come to him, so before he could speak, he asked the question directly.

Seeing Li Yi nodding, Hu Jinquan pondered for a while and said:

"From the perspective of creative themes, the earliest appearance of Chinese painting was figure painting, and the mountains and rivers depicted at the beginning also appeared as a supplementary scene for figure painting, and then slowly developed into an independent painting discipline."

"The main line of the central axis of landscape painting is to take the mountain as the virtue and the water as the inner cultivation consciousness, from the landscape painting, we can concentrate on the artistic conception, style, charm and tone of Chinese painting. It embodies the relationship between man and nature, then, it must include the relationship between man and animals, man and plants, and even the relationship between man and man. ”

Seeing Li Yi bowing his head and looking thoughtful, Hu Jinquan smiled,

"Maybe you can try the boneless landscape."

Boneless landscapes?

Li Yi's eyebrows jumped, his thoughts suddenly broadened, he thanked Hu Jinquan happily, and quickly slipped back to his room to look up information on the Internet.

Landscape painting is a large category, which can be traditionally divided into green landscapes, Jinbi landscapes, ink landscapes, shallow landscapes, small green landscapes, boneless landscapes, and so on.

Li Yi has always studied ink landscape before, and although he has dabbled in other things, he has not really tried them because they basically involve the problem of applying color.

"Boneless" is the name of a technique in Chinese painting, which refers to the landscape painting painted in large blocks of ink or color without the outline of ink lines, which is called "boneless landscape".

The characteristic of the boneless landscape is that it is not outlined with brush and ink, but the various parts of the brush-shaped ink image have their internal connections, thus constituting a certain meaning in the form of the picture.

This painting method is a bit closer to some Western painting techniques, but in fact, for the refinement of the essence of the painting, the boneless method is not very different from the traditional Chinese painting that attaches importance to the bone method.

Li Yi looked up information on the Internet for a while, closed his eyes and pondered for a while, and slowly, a landscape painting scroll slowly appeared in his mind. It is a towering distant mountain shrouded in mist, and in the near view, there are two stone cliffs standing opposite each other, and in the middle of the stone cliffs, a green water is like a jade belt breaking through the barrier, winding and long.

After thinking about it carefully, he felt that this could be his first work, and for the second one, he also had a preliminary idea, which was still inspired by Hu Jinquan.

Landscape, since it embodies the relationship between man and nature, then man, as a natural element, can of course also become the protagonist of it, he decided to try it, and depicted the scene of the bamboo raft playing in the water he just saw with a fine brush.

It's just that in this way, his two paintings are quite different from the works he plans to use to participate in the competition in the future, and there are only more than 30 days left before the competition.

"Hehe, the competition is supposed to motivate everyone to work hard to improve the level, of course we can't compete for the sake of the competition, no matter when, improving ourselves is fundamental."

"That'...... Master, are you saying that as long as the level is indeed improved, then it doesn't matter if you don't win the first prize? ”

Hearing this, Hu Jinquan's eyes stood and he glared at Li Yi,

"How is that possible?!"
