Chapter 61: Family Fun
The focus of this painting is also Xie Bin's four words left on the side of the painting, "The Joy of Family", these four words are not a regular font, neither regular script nor line calligraphy, it is like a clumsy boy scribbling graffiti. But in the eyes of connoisseurs, these four words are the finishing touch of the whole painting.
These four words want to talk about, a bit like the Banqiao body of Zheng Banqiao, one of the "Eight Monsters of Yangzhou", but it does not carry the book, and there is not so much flavor of the official book, and it is not even like any kind of font in the regular brush words, but it is more like some art words printed by computer technology.
However, this is not a computer printout, but Xie Bin wrote it with a mixture of seal characters and the image of Jin Wen. The four words look twisted and crooked, but with the whole painting, it becomes the finishing touch of the scroll, making the whole painting come alive.
This is also Xie Bin's basic skills are very solid, otherwise, this painting tiger will not become an anti-dog, and this is how self-defeating it comes from.
The old man saw the uniqueness of those four words at a glance, and praised it: "Xiao Xie, it's really good, it's very attentive, thank you." ”
Xie Bin smiled, "I just want you to frame it yourself, I'm afraid that my two-pole craftsmanship won't be able to enter your eyes." ”
The old man was obviously very happy, and couldn't stop nodding, "Well, this painting has to be framed well, and when the time comes, hang it in the most conspicuous place in the living room, hahaha, starve those old guys to death." ”
Xie Bin didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his painting hanging in the old man's living room, he was still very confident in his level. It is said that last time at the exhibition, Xie Bin saw those artists painting and writing, and knew the general level of these people. It's not that Xie Bin is arrogant, but it's true, he doesn't dare to say how it is in China, at least he is one of the best in the island city, especially his kung fu has just made progress, but I wish anyone could put forward some opinions.
Li Jingjing's eyes were also flickering, looking at this picture, I didn't know what I was thinking. She doesn't know how to paint in ink, but she can only understand something about it, and she can see what the level of this painting is. But it was these two paintings that Xie Bin's impression in her heart was a little deeper, and yesterday's painting made her toss and turn and couldn't fall asleep in the middle of the night. And this painting surprised her even more, especially those four words, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a precedent for creating a kind of brushwork. If it is tempered and promoted, it is not impossible for Xie Bin to become a sect master. Calligraphy is easy to imitate and difficult to innovate, everyone who has innovated in calligraphy, which is not famous through the ages? Even Cai Jing is admired by some people because of his unique brushwork.
Of course, the current Xie Bin is far from reaching that height, but it is clear that Xie Bin is a very good potential stock. This is also because Xie Bin doesn't have many friends, and his social circle is not very broad, otherwise, Xie Bin is afraid that he would have married and had children a long time ago, where is it still used to entangle between girls like Xue Yuying and Li Jingjing?
It's just that the world is like chess, if Xie Bin didn't have such an experience, he wouldn't be in the current state, maybe like other ordinary young people, he works overtime to get a salary loan to buy a house and repay the loan...... Therefore, gains, losses, blessings and misfortunes, these things that are not under one's control, it is better to face them correctly with a correct attitude, if Xie Bin couldn't stand the hardships of life early and gave up the path he has always adhered to, I am afraid there will be no Xie Bin now.
Leaving the old man's house, Li Jingjing pulled Xie Bin to a large playground that was inaccessible and taught Xie Bin to drive by hand. Seeing the luxurious Audi car being tossed by himself, Xie Bin was very embarrassed. At the beginning, Xie Bin was still a little nervous to do it himself, and sometimes he was so busy that he couldn't even tell the difference between the accelerator and the brake. If it weren't for the fact that this playground was relatively large, Xie Bin and this car would probably be scrapped together.
However, Xie Bin was nimble after all, and after calming down, Xie Bin quickly grasped the main point, and he was able to drive the car slowly, and even turn around, although the slow speed made the snails feel ashamed.
It wasn't until Xie Bin increased the speed of the car a little that he breathed comfortably. At the end of this day, my body was tense, my nerves were also tense, and I felt that my hands, feet and eyes were not enough. Now as soon as he relaxed, Xie Bin felt that this Audi car was indeed comfortable to drive, not to mention stability and comfort, and the handling alone was a little higher than that of ordinary cars.
Although Xie Bin drove for the first time, he also learned some things, especially the kind of coach car, which was very difficult to drive. And this high-end sedan is very easy to drive, and it is very quick to get started.
When you get home, think about it, driving is actually the same thing, and it doesn't necessarily have to be much harder than pedaling a tricycle. It is said that tricycles are not so easy to pedal, and if you have never pedaled before, you will only pedal in circles the first time.
Men, as long as they are not too stupid, it is easier to master when learning to drive, Xie Bin has been able to drive decently after three or four days of practice, and on the roads with fewer vehicles around the villa area, Xie Bin also tried to drive a distance, and he felt very cool. It's just that in the past few days, poor Li Jingjing's car has been hit with potholes in the front, back, left and right, and even the rearview mirror has been knocked off. Fortunately, Xie Bin's reaction was relatively sensitive, and nothing major happened.
Sent to the car repair factory, Xie Bin was not embarrassed to let Li Jingjing pay for it, he swiped the card to settle the maintenance fee, and also redecorated the car with a piggyback. Li Jingjing didn't refuse, probably knowing that Xie Bin was not short of this little money now.
In addition to learning to drive, Xie Bin also framed Liu Wenqing's words and paintings. Although this framing is not difficult, it is more troublesome, especially since Xie Bin has no materials in his hands, so he has to buy it now. Fortunately, in today's society, as long as you have money, you can buy general things.
However, framing is really a technical job, and there is even a saying that "three points of painting is seven points mounting", a good framer can frame an ordinary painting beyond the ordinary level, so that the painting can be greatly enhanced. Of course, Xie Bin can't reach that level, at most he just completes this set of processes in a decent manner.
Of course, this is enough, as long as there are no shortcomings, Xie Bin is more satisfied, although he has the heart to improve his framing skills, but this requires a lot of practice to complete, and the current Xie Bin does not seem to have so much energy and time.
When framing, the most important process is to draw the heart, which must be smooth and tidy, and those old craftsmen have all kinds of skills and know-how in this regard, which most people do not understand. Xie Bin learned a little from his grandfather, but there is nothing systematic, that trick is good, just make that trick, as long as the picture quality is clean and tidy, there are no defects or damages.
In fact, the original is the best installation, the most troublesome is reloading, that is, the framed painting is removed and re-mounted, that is the key process of the framing line, not an experienced master, generally do not dare to take that kind of work. And those who know how to reframe calligraphy and paintings, they will only look for those masters.
Xie Bin is like this, that is, he is just framing new calligraphy and paintings, and what he has learned is only scratching the surface. But that's enough to deal with ordinary calligraphy and painting. It is said that there is also a framing machine, which is said to be very convenient and fast. But Xie Bin naturally doesn't use that thing, if a good handwritten character is framed by a machine, it will be too incompatible.
The two calligraphy and paintings that Xie Bin framed Liu Wenqing used are not expensive, they are ordinary camphor wood, and the shaft head is only tortoiseshell selected in the handicraft store, and then processed and installed by himself.
It is said that when many paintings and calligraphy are framed, in order to add color to the calligraphy and painting, they use precious materials such as sandalwood, mahogany, boxwood, ivory, etc., especially on the shaft head. Hawksbill turtle shells, although they are also very good, but their value is lower, especially imitation crafts.
Of course, Xie Bin didn't plan to get such a valuable thing for Liu Wenqing, after all, he was going to bring it to school, it was too expensive to attract people's attention, in case it was damaged and thrown away, it would be a little more troublesome out of thin air.
After framing, Xie Bin was about to call Liu Wenqing, but she called Xie Bin first. It turned out that they had finally moved to a new home. The house I bought in a newly developed community in the city was finally renovated, and it also needed to be warmed.
However, this time Xie Bin was invited alone, and their relatives and friends invited them at noon, and this time they made a table for Xie Bin.
Xie Bin thought about it, bought some vegetables, fish and meat, and then wrapped 500 yuan in red envelopes and came to the door. When the kang is burned, the guests also have to bring some gifts or money. When Xie Bin burned the kang, Xue Yuying, Li Jingjing, and these people all had a share, and the money was not much, it was just a thought.
's daughter was admitted to a key university and moved into a new home, and Liu Wenqing's mother had a lot more smiles on her face, as if she was much younger. However, this mouth seems to be ten years old, and he has been rambling about Liu Wenqing, and from time to time he also takes Xie Bin with him, and complains that Xie Bin spoils Liu Wenqing too much, buys her such an expensive computer, etc., and complains that he still brings gifts when he comes to the door, which seems too raw.
Xie Bin could only nod his head in agreement, but quietly grimaced at Liu Wenqing, no wonder Liu Wenqing often complained about her mother, this nagging is really powerful. However, Xie Bin felt a little warm, saying that he wanted someone to nag him, but no one cared about him. When he was a child, he and the old man couldn't speak a few words all year round, and the home was often deserted, and the grandparents and grandchildren were generally busy with each other, and no one spoke.
Now that it is rare to meet such a family with feelings, Xie Bin even has a taste of greed.
When Liu Wenqing saw the painting that Xie Bin painted for her, she was also very surprised, but when she read the song "Dotting Lips", her little face was flushed with a faint flush, which made Xie Bin very excited. Looking at the slightly shy Liu Wenqing, Xie Bin's heart came to Yan Jidao's song "Picking Mulberries", "The red window jasper is new and old, and it is like a double snail." An inch of autumn waves, the pearl of a thousand flowers is not much. Small bamboo horses and tourists, accustomed to listening to songs. Today, I am stumbling, and I am disturbed by the emerald moth. ”
This poem describes the shy demeanor of this little daughter vividly, which is exciting, exactly the same as Liu Wenqing in front of him, which makes Xie Bin's heart can't help but fluctuate a little. Youth is invincible, Xie Bin sighed secretly, coughed dryly, hid his embarrassment, and asked with a smile: "Wenwen, when are you going to the capital?" ”
"On the twenty-fifth, go a few days earlier, familiarize yourself with the environment first," Liu Wenqing also quickly came back to her senses and said coquettishly: "Brother Xie, will you accompany me?" ”
Xie Bin was about to say something, the phone rang, but after connecting, it was the driving school that informed him that he could take the mock test tomorrow.
