The family portrait sketch of the four people is much more complicated than Li Er's portrait, and it took a lot of effort to finish the painting, but seeing the excited and excited appearance of Li Er's family, Wang Xiang felt that it was still worth it.

With his half-hung sketching skills, in later generations, it was the level of ten yuan a piece on the street, but I didn't expect to become a great painter who surpassed Yan Liben when he came to show off in the Tang Dynasty, which is still quite refreshing.

Looking at Wang Xiang's smug look, Li Er rarely didn't hit him, it was really because the family photo drawn by Wang Xiang made him too satisfied.

Li Er is the most indifferent and cruel king, his reign in the world is based on the murder of his brother and imprisoned father, perhaps because of this, so he is most eager and attaches importance to family affection, Wang Xiang's sketch of this family portrait is vivid, without the majesty of the royal family, but full of warmth.

Li Er and Empress Changsun sat side by side on the portrait, one was heroic and masculine, and the other was gentle as water, which made him can't help but think of the situation when he was still the King of Qin and his eldest grandson.

He didn't feel the slightest family affection from Li Yuan and his group of brothers, but at this moment, Li Er knew that he was not lacking in family affection, and he was very grateful to Wang Xiang for this gift to him in his heart, but he didn't show it because of the majesty of the emperor and elders.

Just nodded pretending and said, "Well, this painting is good." ”

Not only is it good, he is simply too satisfied!

Why did Li Er ask the artist to paint so many portraits of himself? Why do historical kings and ministers like to let painters paint portraits of themselves?

That's because the ancients not only valued power and prestige during their lifetime, but also wanted to be admired by the world after death, so they wanted to preserve their images through portraits. Although a painter like Yan Liben has superb painting skills, his painting style is not realist after all. Although the portrait is more than majestic, the realism is somewhat insufficient. Wang Xiang's sketches are different, only the monotonous black and white color of charcoal, but the layers are clear, the light and shade are clear, and the three-dimensional sense is very strong. It is almost exactly the same as the image of a real person, natural and real, even if Li Er does not wear court clothes, anyone holding this portrait can recognize the characters in the painting at a glance.

Such a portrait is more in line with Li Er's desire to be passed down for centuries and admired by the world.

Li Zhi and Xiao Zizi looked at themselves in the portrait, couldn't help but take a look in the mirror, and looked at each other vigorously, their eyes full of excitement and surprise.

"When I look at my new paintings, I can wipe the lines on the paper with a gauze scarf, and the charcoal drawings are not touchable. Otherwise, it is easy to get dirty? Empress Eldest Sun was delicate and noticed this small detail, and she hoped that such a realistic portrait could be preserved intact.

Li Eryi also became concerned when he heard the eldest grandson say this, and asked suspiciously: "Is this really the case?" ”

Wang Xiang nodded and said: "That's true, because the sketch is painted with charcoal, and the portraits on the paper are actually toner, so if you touch it, the toner is easy to fall off and stain the portrait." ”

Li Zhi and the little son, who were about to touch the sketch, hurriedly retracted their little hands and stuck out their tongues when they heard this.

Li Er also wants his portrait to be passed down for generations. If you touch it, how can you do it, and suddenly frowned: "Is there any way to save the sketch portrait?" ”

It was not very easy to preserve. Wang Xiang smiled and said, "Your Majesty can ask a craftsman to make a picture frame, with smooth hardwood boards on the back and glass fired in the front of the temple, and put the sketch portrait into the frame." In this way, you can avoid unintentional touching and smudging the portrait. ”

"Well, that's a good idea." Li Er nodded with satisfaction, and immediately instructed Chen Gui to find a craftsman to make the kind of frame that Wang Xiang said.

The little son took the opportunity to whisper something in Li Er's ear, and his eyes were still secretly looking at Wang Xiang.

Li Er listened to the words of the little son and asked Wang Xiang, "Who is your sketching technician?" ”

"I didn't learn from anyone, I figured it out myself." Wang Xiang was completely shameless. His teacher is a thousand years later, at this time no one in the Tang Dynasty knows how to sketch, rather than making up a foreign wandering painter that Li Er will not believe, it is better to shamelessly say that he figured it out by himself, which can be regarded as a precedent for Chinese sketching.

Empress Eldest Sun smiled slightly: "I really don't know how your brain grows, you can think of so many strange things, quills, stage plays, shadow puppet plays, and this sketch, all of which are unheard of, but they are all amazing." ”

Seeing Li Er squinting at his head, Wang Xiang's heart tightened, and it seemed that Li Er was also very curious......

Depend on! My head is a very ordinary head, and you husband and wife must not be interested in my head.

Fortunately, Li Er had other things, so he temporarily put aside the idea of studying Wang Xiang's head, and said, "Since you figured it out yourself, you shouldn't have any scruples about being a teacher." ”

Wang Xiang shook his head inexplicably, the little son looked very happy, Li Er nodded and said, "The little son is very interested in the sketch portrait you made, and wants to learn to draw sketches." ”

Li Er wants the little son to worship me as a teacher, and it's not bad to accept a princess student.

Wang Xiang's heart was secretly refreshed, and before he could speak, he only heard Li Er continue: "You learn calligraphy with the little son, and the little son learns sketching with you, and the two of you learn from each other." ”

As soon as the words fell, Li Zhi couldn't help laughing, Wang Xiang's face turned red, and his feelings were that he was thinking too much, it turned out that Li Er wanted to learn from each other with his five-year-old son......

Let my daughter worship you as a teacher, and think beautifully. Li Er glanced at Wang Xiang lightly, as if he had seen through his previous thoughts.

Xiao Zizi's calligraphy is learned from Li Er, Li Er is a teacher of Xiao Zizi's calligraphy, if Xiao Zizi is allowed to worship Wang Xiang as a teacher to learn sketching, wouldn't it let Wang Xiang take a big advantage, how could Li Er agree. It's different now, Wang Xiang and the little son learn from each other, so that Wang Xiang's seniority will naturally drop down all of a sudden, even if Li Er doesn't use the identity of the emperor to suppress him, he can also use the identity of the elder to suppress him.

Li Er said what Wang Xiang could have any opinions, so he could only nod obediently and say yes, Li Zhi snickered vigorously next to him, and the little son smiled, jumped to Wang Xiang's side, raised his little head, and smiled sweetly.

"Wang Jiancheng, we will learn from each other in the future, I will teach you calligraphy well, and you must also teach me to draw sketches."

Looking at the little son Wang Xiang, who was only up to his waist, he really wanted to cry. (To be continued.) )
