When the first rays of the morning sun shone on the stone city again, the hands of time were almost seven o'clock. Fang Yi has been up for almost two hours, and these two hours have been a little helpless, and the villain in Fang Yi's heart has reminded over and over again: It's time to go to the teacher's studio, there are still many paintings that have not been seen and copied! In the end, Fang Yi simply put down the pencil, picked up an English novel and read it, so as to consolidate his English to get rid of the temptation in his heart.

When the clock on the wall rang softly, Fang Yi immediately threw down the book in his hand, put on his coat and scarf and walked out of his room.

"This kid! Why did you get up again so early, and only sleep a few hours a day" Yu Qin just came out of the room in her pajamas and saw her son standing at the door, patted her mouth and yawned and said.

Fang Yi gently pushed the door open again, turned his head to his mother and said, "I want to go over early, I have been thinking about last night's painting all night!" Don't make me breakfast in the future, I'll eat a little on the way."

"Then I'll save some trouble, I won't do it with your father," Yu Qin said after listening to Fang Yi's words, turned around and went back to his room, planning to take advantage of this hour to sleep a little longer. The terrible Fang Guohua is like an accessory to his son, and his son doesn't eat breakfast, and Lao Tzu's share also flies.

I went out and bought breakfast at a breakfast stall not far from the entrance of the community. Holding a pancake in one hand and soy milk in the other, I took a bite and drank it towards the bus stop. After a while, the kung fu bus arrived, and as soon as Fang Yi got on the bus, he found that there was really no one on the bus one morning, and there were only five or six people sitting in the sparse place, so he found a seat and sat down and continued to nibble on his breakfast.

When he arrived at the teacher's studio, Fang Yi directly opened the electric switch as before, waited for a while for the temperature in the room to rise, took off his coat and began to draw.

As soon as he grabbed the pencil in his hand, Fang Yi forgot the time again, until Liu Hongshuo came to the studio.

Well! Liu Hongshuo stood behind Fang Yi and didn't disturb his students, and couldn't help but nod after looking at it for more than a minute, now Liu Hongshuo himself has to admit that his students are really learning too fast, and this borrowed sketch has improved a little more.

The shape is now with a little Dürer's rigor, the lines are more smooth and delicate, and the lines are slender and handsome, easy and crisp. A unique sketching style has been roughly formed, borrowing the gestures in Dürer's paintings, Fang Yi's paintings show a different feeling, even the rough cracks on his hands have a hint of softness under his students' brushes, less heavy but more engraved.

Seeing this, Liu Hongshuo couldn't help but look at his students, and shook his head after thinking about it. I am afraid that this student has not experienced any setbacks since he was a child, and he was born in a wealthy family, and the favor of his family made his paintings involuntarily romantic. He was really enjoying the pleasure of painting, and this idea jumped into Liu Hongshuo's mind.

Liu Hongshuo looked at Fang Yi until he put down the pencil.

"Teacher!" Fang Yi turned his head to look and saw Liu Hongshuo behind him and said.

Liu Hongshuo nodded and said, "When the art exam is over, just take the sketch with you to draw, and I'll start teaching you oil painting techniques!" Liu Hongshuo felt that his students' sketches were completely sufficient, and they could paint oil paintings. Not to mention Fang Yi, even the current students of the Academy of Fine Arts, by the time they graduate, few of them can draw sketches to the level of Fang Yi.

"Okay!" Fang Yi said, but after thinking for a while, he asked, "Then can I choose some sketches I like when I'm fine?" ”。

"In addition to the construction surface of this box, there are two boxes with sketches, whether you want to come or want to see it, you can find it yourself," Liu Hongshuo said.

Seeing that the student nodded, he opened his mouth and asked, "You should pay more attention to your cultural class results, and there is no problem with the art test!" Don't pass the art exam by then, and there is a problem with the cultural results! ”。

"Don't worry, the cultural class is not a big problem!" Fang Yi said confidently, now it's not CAFA is more than 300 points in stone art culture, and I have the confidence to take a 223 exam in English and Chinese, and I don't need to convert to liberal arts, according to the current level, the total score is more than 300, which is really a piece of cake.

Liu Hongshuo looked at Fang Yi's confident appearance and said: "No matter how sure you are, as long as the result doesn't come out, it doesn't count, Guan Yu still has a time when he carelessly loses Jingzhou!" Don't overdo it! ”。

Fang Yi smiled after listening to the teacher's words, but did not speak.

"Don't paint for the rest of this morning, follow me to learn how to stretch the canvas, and after stretching the canvas, you have to do the first layer of the foundation! Help me stretch a larger cloth tomorrow, and you will do all the work in the future" Liu Hongshuo saw that Fang Yi didn't listen to his words at all, and he didn't continue to teach his students to change the topic.

Hearing this, Fang Yi directly opened his mouth and agreed: "No problem!" "Isn't it just a matter of putting a cloth on top of the frame and brushing something on it, what's so hard about that? It's like this kind of work, and it's the lowest kind of work on a construction site!

"Then go over there and get two picture frames," Liu Hongshuo said, pointing to the corner of the studio, which was full of large and small picture frames.

After listening to the teacher's words, Fang Yi raised his feet and went to the front of the shelf, stretched out his finger and said, "Is it such a big thing?" ”。

"It's too big! To one-third of him, you are pointing to a one-meter-five frame," Liu Hongshuo looked at it and said quickly.

Fang Yi flicked his hand twice and found the frame that the teacher wanted. In front of the teacher, I heard the teacher say, "Go to the room over there and take out the linen!" ”。

Putting down the picture frame diligently, Fang Yi walked into the room that Liu Hongshuo said again, and walked out with the brown linen stacked together.

"Go get the box over there!"

"Little nails!"

"Go get the base! The glass jar on the top shelf in that room! ”

It didn't take a few times for Liu Hongshuo to feel the benefits of having a student, in the past, these things were done slowly and leisurely by himself, but now there is a small errand runner in the studio, as long as he moves his mouth, someone will do it immediately! It's not a good feeling, it's very good!

After calling Fang Yi more than ten times, Liu Hongshuo found that he didn't have anything he wanted, and all the things he needed were put on the big table on the side of the studio, and this big table was not small! It's as big as a billiard table on the street.

Liu Hongshuo spread the canvas on the table, put the frame on the canvas and cut the canvas with scissors, and said to Fang Yi while cutting: "Pay attention when cutting the cloth, generally speaking, I will be a ** cm larger than the outer frame, and don't deviate too much." The linen I use is rain and dew linen, and the warp and weft interweaving method is used to make the lines closer and more delicate between the lines, and the whole canvas is dense and even. It is rare for a thread to jump out, and if there is such a thread on the canvas, it must be carefully cut off with a razor blade......".

Fang Yi stood next to him and watched the movements of the teacher Liu Hongshuo carefully, and cut the canvas, the teacher first used thumbtacks to fix the four corners of the canvas on the side of the canvas with the four corners of the frame, and then began to nail the nails with a stapler in the middle line of one side of the frame, and began to nail the opposite side of the nail after the nail was completed, until the four sides of the center line were completely nailed.

"When nailing, you must pay attention to whether the tightness of several sides is even, and whether the canvas is skewed! If there is, it must be corrected immediately, and it must not be fooled. Another point to pay attention to is to ensure that the whole canvas is tight, too loose is not easy to paint, too tight to stretch the mesh of the linen, so that the base material is easy to pass through the mesh. That's why I didn't use the methods commonly used in China, and the French standard was used! It's because if the canvas is only turned 90 degrees on the side, now my method staples are turned two 90 degrees on the back of the canvas to make it easier to tighten, and the force on the staples is also wider than the nail, so it is easier to tighten the canvas! ”

Next, Fang Yi saw that the teacher had wrapped the four corners of the canvas around the four corners of the frame, and they were stacked very flat and beautiful. Finally, on the back of the frame, Liu Hongshuo nailed a book staple every four or five centimeters. Now the whole canvas is stretched.

"Now stretch up the frame in front of you and show me!"

After listening to the teacher's words, Fang Yi picked up the remaining picture frame and put it on the cloth, learning the teacher's movements and tensing up. When the two opposite sides of the center line were nailed, Liu Hongshuo shouted to stop and erected the frame, saying that it was too loose, and asked Fang Yi to use the canvas pliers to tighten it.

Picked up the canvas pliers and nailed it again, this time Liu Hongshuo said it was too tight! Fang Yi had to do it all over again. After repeating this three or four times, Liu Hongshuo nodded. Every time Liu Hongshuo tried it himself, he had to let Fang Yi feel it himself, and then try it compared with himself. Soon Fang Yi understood what the canvas was going to look like. After the four sides were stretched, the next four corners were the four corners, and after the smooth stretching, the staples were nailed to the back of the four borders.

"Very good!" Liu Hongshuo gave it a try and praised his students. But then Fang Yi was aroused: "Take that plastic jar" After speaking, he walked towards a door of the studio with his hands behind his back.

Fang Yi obediently took the jar and followed the teacher into the room. When you go in, this room is so small, it looks, it's not what it seems, it's a kitchen! There is not only a matchmaker stove inside, but also a matchmaker tank next to it, and a pot hanging on the wall.

Is it difficult to secretly open a small stove behind the teacher's wife when he is fine? Fang Yi couldn't help but speculate maliciously in his heart.

"What are you doing? Put the jar down, and bring me the cotton cloth hanging on the wall," Liu Hongshuo said and walked to the front of the stove, took the iron pot off the wall, bent down and opened the valve of the gas tank next to him and put the pot on the stove.

took the cotton cloth from Fang Yi's hand and folded it into a small square, put a little water in the iron pot, the cotton cloth of the square was put into the water, and the jar that Fang Yi took was put on the towel by Liu Hongshuo with a little water, and directly turned on the fire after covering the pot.

"Rabbit skin glue should be heated like this! Cook like this for about ten minutes on low heat until the small particles in the jar become jelly," Liu Hongshuo looked at the flames on the stove and licked the bottom of the pot and explained to Fang Yi: "Now China likes titanium white powder and zinc white powder and glue and the like to make a base, but I don't like this kind of thing very much, and I am still used to using rabbit skin glue!" I recommend that you also use adhesive because these things are time-tested, and you can refer to the ...... for other methods".

Fang Yi listened to the teacher's words and nodded: "Hmm! Then I'll use rabbit skin glue as the base! ”。 Fang Yi's master and apprentice settled down with a fluttering sentence of rabbit skin glue, Liu Hongshuo's painting is hundreds of thousands, of course, he doesn't think how expensive the rabbit skin glue imported from France is, Fang Yi doesn't know how much rabbit skin glue costs two or three hundred yuan a pound, thinking how much money can this thing have? Isn't it just glue! How much can rabbit skins be worth! The teacher uses it himself, and he also uses it!

When other students who study oil painting use their own base material or even directly use latex and water to make the base, and the canvas used is also blended and so on. Fang Yi painted on linen and a canvas woven from rain and dew, and a base made of rabbit skin glue.

After the master and apprentice cooked the glue, Liu Hongshuo tried to scrape the boiled glue onto the canvas, first scraped it horizontally once and then vertically again, and then scraped off the excess glue on the canvas with a wooden scraper twice.

"Now the first layer of the foundation is done, and then the second layer of the base is done after it is dry, before the second layer of the base must be checked to see if there are any small particles left on it, if there are still trimmed with a razor, usually I do this repeatedly four to five times, after doing this foundation, I will also go up to several layers of color base depending on the situation, this is not easy to say now, when these foundations are done, you see my color base will understand."

Fang Yi couldn't help but say in his heart when he heard this: It's so troublesome! Foreigners, this is not something to do! Just get a big blank piece of paper and start drawing directly! It's hard to get to Europe, and at that time, one of our four great inventions, papermaking, has not been passed on?

Fang Yi is complaining that foreign devils make oil painting so complicated, it will take several days to even make a foundation, and he has to wait for the previous layer to do the next layer. I didn't expect that at this time, the short beautiful girl who was molested by herself yesterday was mobilizing her roommates to search for herself all over the campus. And in her mouth, she was described as a 'bastard' with an octagonal face and triangular eyes!
