Chapter 040: Oil Painting and Chinese Painting
After listening to her boyfriend's words, Mu Jin seemed to understand a little, but the concept in her mind all along was a little overwhelmed: "Can a person with a bad character be called an artist?" βγ
"Artists look at artistic achievements, not character," Fang Yi said: "Not to mention artists, even some literati have made great contributions, but this is very shameless!" Isn't it still called a literati? Fang Yi didn't give an example of Guo who he knew, although the calligraphy is good, and the articles can be done, but this is a person who looks at him jumping up and down in that specific historical period, from a literati to a pug, with no independent spirit and no personality! Thinking about it made Fang Yi sick to his stomach.
Mu Jin said: "I don't think I can be called literati or artists if I have a bad character, these people should be positive!" Well! It has to be positive".
Fang Yi smiled and continued to do his own thing without speaking, although he thought that his little girlfriend was a little face-painted, just like an old movie from before. The long, handsome, thick-eyed, big-eyed ones were all revolutionaries, and occasionally one of them mixed with the enemy was also an underground worker. I don't know why the enemy is so stupid! If Fang Yi directly let all the handsome guards in his interior pull out and cut off his head! Only leave crooked melons and cracked dates, so you don't have to worry about there are spies inside. Every time he thought of this, Fang Yi couldn't help but laugh dumbly, because Fang Yi found that according to this logic, the first person Principal Jiang wanted to cut off his head was actually himself!
"I think Mr. Liu's painting is good and the person is good, he can definitely be regarded as an old artist with virtue and art," Mu Jin nodded his head and said in an affirmative tone.
Poof! Fang Yi really couldn't help laughing.
Mu Jin looked at her laughing boyfriend and asked suspiciously, "What's so funny!" βγ
"Nothing! It's nothing! Fang Yi smiled and waved his hand, not saying that Fang Yi thought that his teacher Liu Hongshuo lacked any virtue. From the bottom of his heart, Fang Yi thinks that his teacher is iron-clad, and his unbending character is very artistic! However, this virtue and art double chime is used on the teacher's body, and the more I think about it, the more strange it feels.
You must know that in the art scene that Fang Yi strolls around from time to time, Liu Hongshuo is known as the first spray in the domestic painting world by these netizens! Not only are many artists alive now sprayed by the old man, but even the deceased Master Xu Beihong was evaluated by the old man, thinking that Mr. Xu's horse painting is very good, but although the sketch is very good in shape or something, there is nothing of his own! The level is not as good as the master's level!
Next, Fang Yi heard that his teacher had not only sprayed domestic masters, but also sprayed Dali when he was in France. Of course, there is also controversy about DalΓ West, and some art critics have even called him a self-promoting peddler who does not recognize his artistic achievements.
Mu Jin felt that Liu Hongshuo was easy to talk to, more because Mu Jin was his student's girlfriend, if it was a girl she didn't know ran to his studio, she might be kicked out as soon as she entered the door, and she would talk to you. The old man now has a few friends in the domestic art world, and there are not a few people who hate him behind him and grit their teeth, and there is no more girl, no more than one, no less!
After Fang Yi smiled, he changed the topic, and Mu Jin helped her boyfriend to help with a canvas or something. When they stopped, the two of them sat next to the root carving table and drank a sip of tea, which was a bit of a husband and wife.
The frame in which Fang Yi was going to paint his self-portrait was not as big as the teacher's, because it was necessary to consider that his little girl should bring it and hang it on the wall. I chose a forty-one by thirty-three box.
The two frames were stretched, and the first layer of the base was put on until more than twelve o'clock in the afternoon.
Looking at the two canvases in front of him, Mu Jin said with emotion: "It turns out that painting an oil painting is so complicated!" βγ
"It's a lot faster now, and many old masters used to paint when they were complicated, and after painting one layer, they had to wait for the picture to dry before they could move on to the next step, and it usually took two or three days for the whole picture to dry out, and then they had to carry out transparent over-dyeing, and if they didn't dry out, they would continue to paint the next layer, and the whole work would crack after the whole work was completed. Now it's good to use the direct drawing method to paint non-stop, and a lot of quick-drying oil has also appeared, which reduces the time consumed by the work even more! Even so, it can't be compared with the speed of Chinese painting! It takes a lot of time to draw realistically," he said, and he pointed to the frame prepared for the teacher: "This painting will take at least a month for the teacher to complete!" βγ
"It's complicated indeed! It's very different from what I thought, I feel a headache just looking at the oil," Mu Jin said.
"It seems to be a headache, just all kinds of oil teachers commonly use eleven or twelve kinds, what kind of matchmaker, varnish and the like I don't understand too much now, anyway, each oil has its own use" Fang Yi also felt a little numb when he thought of this thing, oil painting is still a classical painting method, it is really not easy to learn and different master techniques are not the same, not to mention the techniques, even the oil is not the same, because the oil at that time was made by the masters themselves.
Therefore, when you see the works of the old masters, there will be differences in color, especially in the color of the skin. Not to mention the pigment mixture, Al Van used an amber luminescent agent that would keep his work as beautiful for centuries. Amber is now known to be a chemical with a high melting point, and it's very difficult to make it oily, and until now no one knew how Eva Vank did it.
A single unrelated factory imitation painting method has resulted in the loss of many pigment and oil formulations. It was like a master of hard persecution who was not famous before his death and became famous after his death, and Xiao Zhizi disappeared with his own technique formula. As a result, it is impossible to make a fake now, because the paint is different, how can you fake it? The pigments used by others can be distinguished by looking at the color, and with what kind of analyzer or the like now, there is no way to hide the fake painting.
Leaving two canvases, one large and one small, to dry, Fang Yi and his girlfriend went out to find a place to eat.
Fang Yi locked the door and hugged his little girlfriend's waist for a few minutes, and his girlfriend's problem followed!
Mu Jin raised his head and looked at Fang Yi and asked, "Why do you have to learn oil painting, why don't you learn Chinese painting!" The freehand you just said is so imposing, and it doesn't take a few minutes for a stroke of a pen to come out, and a million paintings will come out! β
Fang Yi looked at Mu Jin winking at him mischievously, embarrassed to say that he was painting like a dog crawling on rice paper, so he had to smile and put gold on his face: "I just like to face difficulties!" βγ How can you say it if you don't say that, it's so hard to tell your girlfriend that what you have in your head is useless for Chinese painting? What if you scare your girlfriend away? Mu Jin might have thought that Fang Yi was mentally ill!
"There must be another reason! It's just that you're embarrassed to say! Mu Jin put his head on Fang Yi's chest and said with a smile.
Fang Yi was very cooperative, and laughed twice: "You can see this, how will I mix it up in the future!" It's a little more difficult to get started with oil painting, but you can get a good look after four or five years. Chinese painting is different, although it is easy to get started! You can only take it out for four or five years to deceive the unknown onlookers! It is difficult to reach a certain height without ten or twenty years of immersion." After speaking, he began to show his girlfriend's knowledge level, and he just told it as a joke regardless of whether it was right or not. The main thing is to have fun with his girlfriend!
Fang Yi hugged his girlfriend and began to analyze: The biggest difference between oil painting and Chinese painting is that Chinese painting is usually literati painting, and the great painter of ancient times is generally a literati first, and he can at least play any poetry and song! It is not only related to the painting technique, but also related to the overall cultivation of the painter himself, and it is certainly not easy for you to play it well. Usually these people are the so-called noble class, which belongs to the ruling class. Fundamentally speaking, Chinese painting is not something for the toiling masses to appreciate, it is something for literati to vent their emotions. The image you draw is not good, but it is ingenious! The most obvious historical example is the Italian Lang Shining, you see an oil painter in the Manchu Qing Dynasty who was tossed by three generations of people who ate chaff and sparse ancestors, and finally became a painter in the hands of Qianlong, a perfect old man.
Western oil paintings, on the other hand, have been designed to be appreciated by others from the very beginning. Many of the classicists have painted mythological and religious figures, such as Jesus God, and most of them are still placed in churches. Even portraits of people are mostly for wealthy people, many of them are customized by businessmen and the like, so that others can hang them at home to see.
If you draw a national painting, the mountains are not landscapes, no water, no people, no ghosts, no ghosts! How many of these rich people who are uneducated or not educated enough can understand it? With my wife and children, the whole family is sitting and waiting for you to paint! You're all painted, and the family you painted is like a ghost party, who pays you! No one pays, the old masters open their mouths to drink the northwest wind! European painters don't have any tax avoidance or subsidies or anything like that.
It's not like painting if you don't mention whether people give money or not, and you will lose your reputation, and if it's heavier, you may have to be beaten. While beating you, he may still have a mouth with "Let you be a dog to cheat money!" βγ How many merchants in ancient China had the audacity to blatantly beat scholars? Except for a few special strange dynasties, most of the people standing above the court are literati with sharp teeth, and it's strange that you can't die!
Fang Yi said all the way, but Mu Jin was amused by her boyfriend and laughed all the way, and when she heard that she was directly hanging on Fang Yi's body in the end, she smiled and dragged away by Fang Yi.
Although the standard of living is high now, even the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is also held in the restaurant, but it is still not easy to find a small shop for a meal in the fourth year of junior high school, Fang Yi took his girlfriend around the back door of Shiyi for almost half an hour before finding a restaurant to worship the five internal organs temple of the two. After eating, Fang Yi sent his little girlfriend home, and he also turned around and went home.
