In fact, for those who study calligraphy and painting, there is no way to completely ground. Because since ancient times, Chinese calligraphers and painters have paid attention to an artistic conception, although they have not been drunk and lying in the green building like those poets, but most of them have indulged in the mountains and rivers.

Of course, this is not pretending to be anything, but there is a real need for it. Let's not talk about the freehand landscapes that Li Yi is learning now, even if it is the flowers and birds of Gongbi, it is not simply a pot of flowers, a few animals, and a casual sketch can be done.

Painting landscapes represents the relationship between man and nature, and is the painter's understanding and elaboration of the natural environment, while painting flowers and birds represents the understanding of the essence of various creatures, and pays attention to the harmony between one person and all things.

These are the core and most essential of a work, but also the most ethereal, which can only be understood and cannot be spoken, and they cannot be practiced in the studio at all.

But there is one thing that is an exception, and that is the basics.

Gongbi painting generally needs to draw a good manuscript first, a complete manuscript needs to be repeatedly revised to finalize, and then covered with glue alum's rice paper or silk, first outlined with a small wolf's pen, and then with the same color, layer by layer rendering, in order to achieve both the form and spirit of the artistic effect.

Among them, rubbing, dyeing, dotting, and threading are all basic skills.

The freehand, it seems that the longitudinal pen is swaying, and the ink color is flying, but in fact, the light and heavy, virtual and real, rigid and soft, square circle, Xu disease, and frustration of the pen, and the thick, light, burnt, dry, wet and other techniques of the ink need to go through thousands of times of exploration and tempering, in order to achieve the supreme realm of "not seeking to resemble the rhyme of survival, according to the five fingers of the five fingers".

And what Li Yi lacks now is precisely these basic skills.

In the training plan posted by Hu Jinquan, all of them are exercises for basic techniques such as hooking, rubbing, pointing, and dyeing, and only when these basic techniques meet his requirements, he will arrange for the two of them to go out to sketch.

"For example, if a painter sketches, you must see a beautiful woman depicting Cui'e."

All art, whether it is spring and snow, high and low, elegant and vulgar appreciation, and joy with the people, whether it is Western abstraction, impressionism, or closer to the real Chinese paintings, are the embodiment of all things in the world in the painter's heart, and the first thing to investigate is the painter's observation.

After that, the painter needs to use his pen to depict the results of observation and reflection little by little to form a work, and at this time, what he looks at is his expressiveness.

Observation seems simple, but there are 10,000 observations for 10,000 people, and there will naturally be a difference between superior and inferior.

And the real undiscounted performance of these gains is often one in ten thousand. As for being able to sublimate it to a certain height and then depict it in the form of art, it may not be possible to obtain one in a hundred thousand, one in a million.

Most of this is because of basic skills.

So the basics are very important, but the practice is really boring.

Because Li Yi does not follow the usual path and the study time is very short, these aspects are indeed lacking, so he has no special feelings after reading the training plan.

But Zhong Qi is different, he started to learn painting at the age of 5, and has been painting for 26 years, and more than half of the time is competing with these things, so when he saw these again, he couldn't help but feel a little bitter, NND, it turned out, he was used to tie up Li Yi, this kid!

"In fact, whether it is freehand or gongbi, there are many things in common, so everyone may be good at different subjects, but the technique will definitely not have too obvious weaknesses."

Hu Jinquan had already seen the expressions of the two, so when he saw that Zhong Qi seemed to be a little unrefreshed, he only smiled slightly, and directly began to roll call,

"Zhong Qi, you have reached a certain bottleneck in Gongbi, and if you want to break through, the best way is to try freehand. The so-called touch bypass, I think, should be no exception when used on you, so I estimate that the time you spend on basic skills practice is likely to be far more than Li Yi. ”

Zhong Qi was stunned for a moment, as if he had an understanding, but then he showed a confused expression, for Mao I, a person who learns freehand, wants to learn freehand, but he, who learns freehand, doesn't need to learn freehand?

"It's very simple, his freehand has been improving so far, and he has never encountered a bottleneck. If it is usual, of course, he will be asked to practice his pen, but the competition is coming soon, and we must first squeeze out all his potential in freehand before talking about anything else. ”

Hu Jinquan's words made Zhong Qi feel helpless for a while, because no matter who it is, if you have just studied Chinese painting for less than a year, even if you want to encounter a bottleneck, the bottleneck will not care about you.

But immediately, a more powerful and irrepressible sense of helplessness, bitterness, and powerlessness came to my heart. Nima! I've only been studying for less than a year just now, and my level has reached this level, isn't this demon just to slap them in the face?

The basic skills of landscape painting naturally start from mountain stone painting, so after studying theoretical knowledge for a while, Li Yi held the big stone he had painted for a few days before and studied it, while Zhong Qi stared at a small piece of lawn that Hu Jinquan shoveled out of nowhere, and was speechless for a long time.

Old man, even if you want to practice freehand, can we have something normal? Don't say anything too complicated, even if you get branches and flowers, what does it mean to get these little grasses?

They practiced for a day with their heads stuffed, and the next morning, both of them followed Hu Jinquan's instructions and hugged the futon. And Li Yi also took one more thing, he also hugged a piece of wood, and there was a small seedling on it that was as weak as a bean sprout.

It's okay to practice all night, but if you want him to feed the mosquitoes, no way.

"What are you...... Ready to practice sketching with this? ”

Zhong Qi pondered for a long time, but he didn't understand Li Yi's intentions.

"No, this is mosquito grass, with it, even if all the mosquitoes in the entire 798 run over, don't be afraid."

"Blow you! Just this sprout? I can blow it off in one go! ”

Zhong Qi's face was disdainful, Li Yi smiled and did not speak, according to the expert's laboratory tests, those mosquitoes that were killed by the heart buds may have died of infrasound. If this guess is true, then the heart sprouts that look like bean sprouts are definitely much stronger and tougher than its appearance, not to mention that it will be blown off in one breath, Li Yi estimates that even if it is with his hands, most of them may not be able to tear it off.

Of course, this is just an estimate, such a precious and precious plant, usually bumped into it will be distressed, how can it be specially pulled by hand?

Zhong Qi decided that Li Yi was fooling him, but Li Yi didn't say what he wanted to do with this thing, so he had to put his heart bud aside first and continue to ponder his little lawn.

But when he inadvertently looked at the small bean sprouts again in between exercises, he couldn't help but be stunned, then blinked his eyes, and then rubbed his eyes vigorously.

"Li Yi, what did you say you brought this thing for?"

"Mosquito weed, but I named it Heart Bud."

"Heart buds? Where did you get this? ”

"That's complicated, I'll tell you......"

Li Yi opened his mouth for a while, first pulling the topic thousands of miles away, and then slowly winding back, and finally, Zhong Qi finally understood that this thing was actually made from a hollow red sandalwood tree.

"I'll rub, I'm convinced of you kid, you can clearly explain things in one sentence, you stepped on the horse and went around for a full five minutes! Why don't you usually find out that you kid is still a chatter? ”

Li Yi rolled his eyes,

"I'm going to just say that this thing came out of a rosewood tree, how would you react? Do you ask where that rosewood tree came from? How did I find out? Will you ......"

Zhong Qi thought about it, as if this was really the truth, and couldn't help grinning, and then pointed to Xinya and asked:

"You say this thing is actually a rosewood sapling?"

Li Yi nodded, and shook his head again, who knows what it is, but it does grow on the trunk of a rosewood tree.

"Wait, I'll call someone and ask."

Li Yi hurriedly pulled it, when you are a brother to share this secret with you, you can't talk about it everywhere with a big mouth.

"Then I'll find someone to get two red sandalwood seedlings and try it."

Zhong Qi circled around the heart bud, careful not to let himself step on the ground and die a circle of mosquito moths, Nima, I really want to get a plant of this thing to put at home, what kind of air conditioner is turned on in the summer, just move a bed and sleep on the rooftop!

Li Yi shook his head, ignored him, and turned his head to study the rock.

It's not that he didn't think about the consequences when he brought Xinya here, but he couldn't hide this thing at all, because the movement they made in the community last time was too big.

However, this kind of thing, not afraid of people knowing, afraid of people spreading it randomly, the more it spreads, the more magical it becomes, if it is not corrected in time, it is too mysterious, and trouble will follow.

Therefore, when the old man Liu next door asked about this matter on the side, Li Yi generously let him see the ability of Xinya, and then explained it with the words that had just fooled Zhong Qi.

From the current point of view, the effect of this is not bad, and every time Gu Feng and the others carry their heart buds to the garden to affect the orchid, some people come to watch and inquire, but after listening to their same explanation, in addition to being surprised and envious of their luck, there are no more accidents.

Next, the two really locked themselves in the studio, and sometimes even the meals were ordered directly online for people to deliver. Hu Jinquan and Zhong Haoqing came over from time to time every day to solve their doubts and check their homework, and they persisted for five days, and finally, the two ushered in the first opportunity to go out to sketch.
