Chapter 754: A Horse Chasing Hope
Most of Chen Yi's paintings are part-time and part-time paintings, which are combined with fine brushwork and freehand, with the delicacy of fine brushwork and the artistic conception of freehand.
When creating sketches, he also used intermediate painting techniques, and suddenly bursts of feelings based on his previous imagination kept coming to his mind.
This is the ability of intermediate painting, of course, when painting, you must have your own goals, what to draw, otherwise, your mind is blank, you can't think of what to paint, no matter how powerful the painting technique is, it can't give you an understanding.
Soon, Chen Yi's base map was ready, and the sketch base map drawn by the Gongbi line drawing method looked very exquisite, and some viewers next to him were watching intently, but no one made a sound, for fear of disturbing Chen Yi.
Looking at the horse that seemed to be running, the hearts of everyone seemed to rise to the excitement of watching the horse race and seeing the horses running each other.
All that was at the door of the stables was the sound of horses snorting from the stables, the lightning and thunder outside, and the sound of raindrops falling on the ground.
After drawing the base map, Chen Yi looked at the base map, looked at the lightning and thunder not far away, and seemed to have an understanding in his heart, put a piece of rice paper on the drawing board, put the base map on it, and began to copy the sketch manuscript on the base map to the rice paper.
In addition to using intermediate painting techniques, Chen Yi also used the aura channeling technique, which turned a little identification point into aura and injected it into his brush. Began with his paintings. Little by little, it enters the painting. Let the whole painting have more charm.
After that, Chen Yi adjusted the colors and began to paint on rice paper, this painting was a moment of enlightenment for him, but it contained the results of his study in the past month, and also had the basis of his previous paintings.
Everyone watched carefully beside Chen Yi and listened to the sound of rain. Listening to the thunder and lightning, they felt a different kind of charm, and they wanted to know what Chen Yi's painting in the face of wind and rain and thunder and lightning was like.
Soon, they saw a background that had not been on the white paper before, a background that was just like the weather now. Dark clouds cover the top, and lightning and thunder are hidden in the clouds.
Just look at this one background. It gives people a sense of depression like a real one, on a rainy day, everyone's mood will become a little depressed with the dark clouds and raindrops, and when the sun is shining, most people's mood is also like sunshine.
It's just that in the background of lightning and thunder and dark clouds, there is a steed that is running wild in the wind and rain.
This horse has not yet been painted, but it is enough to make people feel the astonishment of that picture, and what makes everyone strange is that the eyes of this horse are blank, can it be said that Chen Yi wants to leave it for later to draw the eyes.
After painting the entire background, Chen Yi began to paint the horses, and the role of intermediate painting continued, and he was very skilled in painting colors.
After a few hours of heavy rain, it slowly stopped, and then the dark clouds opened, and there was a sunny scene.
It's just that none of the people in the stables went out, they all surrounded Chen Yi, keeping quiet to watch the process of his painting.
Looking at the dark clouds opening and the sun shining brightly, Chen Yi's face moved, revealing a touch of surprise, and then added this element to the painting.
After more than half an hour of polishing, finally, Chen Yi's painting, with only eyes left, can be said to be successfully completed, and the name of this painting, he has already thought of it, is called chasing hope.
At this moment, some people who were sheltering from the rain in the office building of the training ground couldn't help but come over when they saw many people gathered in the stables, and when they saw the paintings painted by Chen Yi, they couldn't help but show the same look of amazement as the people next to them.
In this painting painted by Chen Yi, the background is dark clouds, and around the horses, there are several lightning bolts around, and the picture also has the appearance of heavy rain, that kind of raindrops and lightning, giving people a very real feeling.
But the horse, without any fear, looked ahead, and galloped forward with all its might, stepping on the rain, against the wind and waves, under the dark clouds and lightning and thunder.
With the picture, everyone looked at the front of the horses, in front of the horses, at the end of the painting, there was a touch of sunshine, this ray of sunshine, just on the rice paper at the end of the painting, occupied a cent, but this ray of sunshine made everyone's eyes brighten up, and the depression when they saw the background before suddenly turned into hope.
This steed has dark clouds and lightning on it, raindrops on it, and water formed by rain under its feet, but the horse is still undaunted, facing these dangers of nature, and fighting forward, because in front of it, there is sunshine, which represents hope.
The people who stayed in the stable before were full of shock at Chen Yi's painting, originally they thought that Chen Yi's painting was depicting a horse, galloping in the wind in the midst of lightning and thunder.
But now, the appearance of this ray of sunlight makes the meaning of the whole painting more intense and clearer, this is the situation of a horse not afraid of danger, running towards that ray of sunshine, a glimmer of hope, but the body of the horse gives people a lifelike, extremely powerful feeling, but unfortunately, there are no eyes, it looks very abrupt.
After the picture was completed, Chen Yi took out the finishing touch from his bag, and injected it with the aura that had not been used up before, and then continued to use the intermediate painting technique, looking at the eyes of this horse, he dipped a little ink, and pointed out the eyes of this horse.
At the moment when the eyes were clicked, everyone looked at this painting again, and it was even more amazing than before, the lifelike body of this horse became more real after the eyes were painted.
From the eyes of the horses, they felt the firm conviction of the horses running towards hope, which was simply breathtaking, because this one eye, because of that eye, made the level of the whole painting rise by more than one level.
Leaving the name of the painting, as well as his knowledge, in a certain year and month, Chen Yi saw the dark clouds covering the top, lightning and thunder, and pouring rain at the Hong Kong Racecourse.
The picture of this painting is very real, as if it is lifelike, the dark clouds, lightning, all give people a sense of depression, the running of the horses, let people be full of agitation, the appearance of the sun, make people full of hope, so that the running of the horses, is also more meaningful.
It's not just the running of the horses, but in the eyes of the horses, they see that kind of persistence, and it is the charm in these eyes that makes the meaning of the picture more intense.
In this painting, there is no real lightning, but the faint lightning and thunder in the dark clouds give people a sense of imminent oppression, and sometimes, in the painting, there is no need to show all the things that come to mind are truly out, vague, leaving some imagination for the viewer, which is the artistic conception of Chinese paintings.
Just like the paintings of flowers and birds that he often paints, sometimes a large area is left blank, while Western paintings basically do not have this way, this is the special composition method of Chinese painting, which can give people an infinite space for reverie.
Like the lightning and thunder in the dark clouds in his painting, there seems to be no real lightning, but it is more frightening than the real lightning.
"Mr. Chen, can you give me this painting, I will pay 5 million Hong Kong dollars." At this time, a horse owner came back to his senses in this painting and said without hesitation.
Not to mention the level of Chen Yi's painting, just talking about Chen Yi's fame, five million Hong Kong dollars, is also very worthwhile.
"Mr. Chen's painting can not be bought for 5 million Hong Kong dollars, and I pay 7 million Hong Kong dollars, just begging Mr. Chen to give me this painting." At this time, a horse owner next to him directly raised the price by 2 million Hong Kong dollars.
"I'll pay eight million Hong Kong dollars." At this moment, the horse owners who stayed here looked at this painting, and a strong feeling of wanting to have it rose in their hearts, and they did not hesitate to bid one by one.
In their eyes, this painting is already more valuable and meaningful than a real horse, and they may hesitate to pay millions of Hong Kong dollars to buy a horse, but they will not have any hesitation when buying this painting, because from this painting, they already feel a wonderful feeling.
Within five minutes of Chen Yi's painting, its price had risen to HK$10 million.
From the perspective of appreciation, paintings have an innate advantage over calligraphy, which is to use the picture as the expression, which can allow many people to understand the artistic conception at a glance, and calligraphy, which is based on the text, and some people who do not understand calligraphy sometimes cannot understand the artistic conception in calligraphy.
Chen Yi's painting already shows a strong meaning, and the level of his painting can be said to be on par with the level of calligraphy.
Chen Yi smiled and waved his hand at everyone, "Everyone, please be quiet." ”
After hearing this, everyone who was bidding fiercely suddenly stopped, and looked at Chen Yi and the drawing board in front of him.
If they had hesitated about the calligraphy in the auction house before, but on this painting, they would not have any hesitation, Chen Yi's calligraphy, Xiao Shenghua and several prestigious people in Hong Kong, they all got one, but so far, they have not found that anyone has ever obtained Chen Yi's painting.
When the scene was quiet, Chen Yi pointed to his calligraphy and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but this painting is the result of my efforts to paint horses in commemoration of this month, so I'm sorry that it can't be sold." ”
At this moment, everyone showed a touch of disappointment, if they got this painting, it would be enough for them to gain some fame in the antique circle, because the level of this painting is high, and the fame of its author, Chen Yi, is also very high. (To be continued......)
