Chapter 925: Eye-Catching Competition
Looking at the student's somewhat flushed face, Chen Yi changed his words, "However, since you have already proposed it, then in line with the principle of friendly exchanges, I agree to paint a painting with you, but this painting should be used as a carrier of Western oil painting, and a method of our Chinese painting will be used to conduct the competition, I don't know if you are willing." ”
Hearing Chen Yi's words, the people sitting in the back of Huaxia and the Italian Academy of Fine Arts were full of doubts, what is the way of competition that Chen Yi said in his words, using Western oil painting as the carrier and using the method of Chinese painting to compete, is it a combination of oil painting and Chinese painting?
It is really impossible to determine who has a higher level of painting, perhaps Chen Yi knows a lot about Western oil painting, and can create oil paintings, but the two deans of Oni and Paul know deeply that the students who are now challenging Chen Yi are excellent students in their college, but they don't even know much about Chinese painting, let alone use the pen to create.
Just like Chinese porcelain, it looks simple, but none of them foreigners can be fired perfectly, the same is true of Chinese painting, there are many Chinese people who learn Western oil painting, but foreigners who can paint Chinese are very rare.
In the history of all generations of China, there are only a few foreigners who came to China and learned to paint, and Lang Shining is one of them, and likewise, they are Italians.
"Mr. Chen Yi, I don't understand what you said." The student asked with a blank look on his face.
Chen Yi smiled lightly, "This classmate, I don't know what your name is." ”
"Oh. My name is Carlo. The student standing in front of him hurriedly said.
See this one. The two deans, Oni and Paul, looked at each other and smiled. Unconsciously, Chen Yi had already grasped the initiative, and compared to Chen Yilai, this excellent student in their academy was still too tender.
"The method of the competition I just mentioned is to have one painter on the scene draw two identical oil paintings of people, but. Don't paint the eyes, we have an idiom in China, called the finishing touch, also known as the finishing touch, the eye is the window of the soul, the same is true in the painting, the most important thing in a portrait is the surface of the eye, all we have to do is to paint a pair of eyes for this oil painting, and then use the overall expression of the painting. Judge whose painting is better, Carlo-san. I don't know if you understand. ”
Carlo listened to Chen Yi's words, his heart was full of surprise, he didn't expect Chen Yi to compete in such a way, only painting eyes, Chen Yi spoke clearly, he also understood the difficulty of painting only eyes, if you paint a complete painting, then your heart will naturally produce a sense of coherence, but to paint the eyes alone, this is more difficult than creating a complete painting.
Fu Lao and other teachers of the Huaxia Academy of Fine Arts, after listening to Chen Yi's explanation, their eyes suddenly lit up, and they said with a smile.
And Dean Oni and Dean Paul also showed a strong interest on their faces, finishing touches, finishing touches, this is indeed a unique painting culture in China, and they are really looking forward to watching the next paintings of these two people.
"I understand, I agree with this competition method, Mr. Chen, I don't know if you plan to paint in the way of oil painting, or use the way of Huaxia painting to paint the eyes." At this point, Carlo has no way back, if he retreats, he will be used as a laughing stock in school, but he is a little curious, Chen Yi will use oil painting or Chinese painting to paint eyes.
Chen Yi smiled faintly, "You don't have to worry about this, I will use whatever way is appropriate, and which classmate or teacher is willing to paint two oil paintings for us next." ”
"Haha, Mr. Chen, let me come, just let my painting become the carrier of the competition between the two of you." At this time, Dean Paul, who was sitting in the back, stood up with a laugh and waved his hand at Chen Yi.
Dean Paul, one of the most prominent painters in the Florentine Academy, stood up, and some of the teachers and students who were about to attend were silent.
"Dean Paul was able to paint himself, and it was an honor for us." Chen Yi said with a smile, it seems that this old man can't help but see his painting level.
Carlo was also full of excitement that Dean Paul could come out and paint for them, which he could not have imagined, you know, Dean Paul was like a god in the eyes of these painting students.
Paul slowly walked to the front, and at this time, a student sitting in front of the drawing board next to him immediately got up and said with respect, "Dean Paul, you can sit here and draw with me." ”
Looking at the student, Paul smiled lightly and sat down, "Okay, thank you for your seat, Mr. Chen, I don't know what materials are used for this oil painting." ”
"Dean Paul, just let your usual hobby do." Chen Yi said indifferently that most of the materials for oil paintings are mainly canvas, and Huaxia paintings can also be created on canvas, but the effect is not as prominent as that of rice paper.
Just like ancient Chinese paintings, before the paper was made, it was also created with silk, silk and other fabrics, but the silk of China is more delicate than the canvas of Western oil painting.
Paul smiled and nodded, then looked around a bit, pointed to a beautiful Italian girl and said, "Since it's about drawing eyes, there's always to be a reference, Anna, sit in front of me." ”
With a look of surprise on her face, the girl stepped out of the crowd and sat in front of Paul, and it was a great honor to be chosen by Dean Paul as a model.
After the girl sat down and posed, Paul began to create on the canvas, and at this moment, Chen Yi and Carlo were standing next to Paul, carefully observing Anna's demeanor, especially her eyes.
Since it is created with a real person as a model, then the painting must be exactly the same as the real person to the greatest extent, which will greatly test the painter's skills, if it is a fantasy character, then it can be very casual, at least no one will say that you don't paint like it.
"Professor Fu, which one do you think will be better, Chen Xiaoyou or this student?" At this time, a teacher from a domestic art academy asked with curiosity on his face.
Fu Lao smiled lightly, although Chen Yi's calligraphy and painting level is well-known in China, but there are many people who do not know Chen Yi's true level, and he has the most exchanges with Chen Yi on paintings, this finishing touch, even if it is him, is far inferior to Chen Yi's skills, "Xiao Yi's finishing touch skills are enough to make people marvel, you will know after he finishes painting." “
Fu Lao's words made the Chinese students next to him full of expectations, all of them now know Chen Yi's identity, among the young generation of Chinese people, the most outstanding calligraphers and painters, the price of each painting and calligraphy work is more than 10 million, this is simply what they dream of.
Not to mention tens of millions, even if the paintings they create can reach 50,000 or 60,000, they will wake up with a smile from their dreams.
The eyes are the windows of the soul, if you want to win this competition, you must draw the eyes exactly like the real person, the focus of this competition, Chen Yi and Carlo are very clear.
The Italian girl sitting in front of them was very beautiful, especially the big eyes, very watery, as if every look could seduce people's hearts.
In the process of observation, Chen Yi used identification techniques on this girl to identify her personality, this girl's personality is not wild, but similar to Shen Yujun, they are all quiet and gentle types, and with this beautiful face, it can be said that she is the goddess of dreams in the minds of many men.
Such a beautiful girl, the combination of facial features is very good, if you are negligent when painting the eyes, then it will destroy the overall beauty, I believe this is why Paul chose this girl as a model, let them paint the difficulty of the eyes, and add another level.
However, for him, this is not a problem, although he has been creating landscape paintings and animal paintings recently, but the study of figure painting has not relaxed.
In order to get the colorful flower cup in He Wenzhi's hand before, Chen Yi did not hesitate to spend half a month listening to He Wenzhi tell the story between him and his wife, just to be able to make his paintings more similar to his wife, and to draw an eye full of feelings and no doubt about real people, it is natural to understand this person's emotions and character.
The reason why Chen Yi identified Anna is because of this, as for Carlo, he is looking at Anna with fascination at this moment, it seems that this guy is also Anna's suitor, I am afraid that he understands Anna more deeply than him.
As the vice president of the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence, Paul naturally relies on his ability to be competent, and he creates oil paintings at a very fast speed, but this figure painting is biased towards realism, even if he is extraordinary, it took more than an hour to finish an oil painting, of course, the eye socket of this oil painting is blank, and nothing is painted.
After painting this oil painting, he looked at the people next to him, and then said with a smile: "Everyone, if you are tired of watching, you can go outside and rest." ”
Everyone shook their heads in unison, watching Dean Paul's paintings, it was a pleasure, not to mention, they were looking forward to the showdown between Chen Yi and Carlo after the two paintings were finished.
"Well, since you all want to see it, I'll keep drawing, Anna, you can stand up." Paul smiled, changed his position, sat down in front of the drawing board next to him, and then said to Anna, after all, now that an oil painting has been created, if you want to make two oil paintings exactly the same, you must paint according to the first one, not Anna as a model.
