Chapter 176: Danqing VS Sketch (Medium)
"Brother Junxian, what are you doing with all this charcoal?" Princess Changle asked.
"Paint for you!" Li Junxian replied.
Then, Li Junxian brought a wooden board, which was used as a drawing board for future generations, and began to paint Princess Changle. Li Junxian was not very comfortable at first, but he soon adapted to this painting method.
What Li Junxian wanted to paint was sketching, a painting technique that was later handed down from the West. As for why Li Junxian can draw sketches, it is very simple, and it is related to his identity as an archivist in later generations. As an archivist, Li Junxian inevitably had to come into contact with archaeologists, most of whom could draw sketches.
In many cases, archaeologists in later generations were not able to use cameras to take pictures, because many cultural relics would be damaged as soon as they saw the light. In order to reflect the situation of the site in a timely manner, archaeologists often need to use sketches, which are convenient and similar painting methods. Li Junxian came into contact with those archaeologists, and those archaeologists also taught Li Junxian this sketch by the way, so Li Junxian knew how to sketch. Now Li Junxian is using sketches to deal with this princess of Changle.
"Princess, don't move!" Li Junxian said.
Princess Changle pursed her small mouth, as if she was very dissatisfied with Li Junxian and asked him not to move. Usually, Princess Changle tosses others and lets others be a template for herself. But now Li Junxian is using him as a template, so Princess Changle can't move. And Li Junxian also took revenge on this tsundere little girl, just now Li Junxian really scared Li Junxian to death, and Li Junxian couldn't afford the crime of bullying the princess!
It took a long time for Li Junxian to finish painting, but this made the young and active Princess Changle have a sore back. After Princess Changle finished painting Li Junxian, she immediately grabbed Li Junxian's masterpiece to see what was good about Li Junxian's masterpiece.
"Hiss......" Princess Changle couldn't say a word.
Li Junxian was also a little nervous when he saw that Princess Changle didn't speak. He didn't know what the level of acceptance of sketching was in this Tang Dynasty, and whether he could make Princess Changle, a girl who had only been exposed to Chinese painting, accept this sketch. If you want to say that Li Junxian is opportunistic, it is okay, because he is using his own strengths to attack the shortcomings of Princess Changle's Chinese painting, and he is suspected of relying on the strong to bully the weak.
"Brother Junxian, this painting is so good! Is this really me? Princess Changle asked excitedly.
Li Junxian heard that Princess Changle didn't speak, and knew that Princess Changle had accepted the sketch. After all, Princess Changle is a little girl who has just learned to paint, and her thinking has not yet become ossified. If you are an old scholar who has studied painting all her life, I am afraid that he will not be able to accept Li Junxian's painting method of relying on "realism" to win. Beginners also have the advantage of being a beginner, that is, being able to accept all kinds of ideas that seem grotesque, and those ideas that seem grotesque may be the beginning of being able to become a new genre. And those old pedants may not be able to accept it, but will do their best to slander these new ideas, and this is the difference.
Princess Changle took out her own paintings, and then looked at the paintings Li Junxian gave herself again, no matter how you look at it, Li Junxian painted well. Because Princess Changle is a beginner, the goal is still at the level of similarity, but the degree of similarity is not done at all. As for the artistic conception, Princess Changle's paintings do not have them at all. The degree of similarity is not as good as Li Junxian's sketches, and the artistic conception can't be compared, so naturally Princess Changle loses.
"Hmph, I've studied for so long, and it's not as good as Brother Junxian's paintings, so what's the use of me learning." Princess Changle suddenly said aggrievedly.
Princess Changle threatened to tear up the paintings she had spoken about before, as if they were worthless, but Li Junxian stopped him.
"Princess, what are you doing here?" Li Junxian asked.
"I'm going to tear it up, anyway, my words are worthless, they are not true enough, so what am I going to do?" Princess Changle said aggrievedly.
Li Junxian is helpless, this kind of little girl is really easy to go to extremes, and her own sketches stimulated her. In fact, Western painting methods and Eastern painting methods have their own merits, and even various arts have their own merits, and there is no distinction between high and low. The so-called high and low are all imposed by some people with ulterior motives. Princess Changle had just learned to paint, and she couldn't compare with the mature school of painting at all. This is normal, but Princess Changle thinks that these paintings have no learning value at all, and this is going to the extreme.
"Princess, in fact, I am clever. You see, my paintings are just similar, and they don't have any verve. And your paintings have charm, this is really a good painting! Li Junxian immediately comforted.
"Do my paintings have a verve? Why didn't I see it? Princess Changle asked.
"Look, princess, look, you painted me, that is, the appearance of this heroic warrior going to the battlefield to kill the enemy, how mighty and domineering. If the enemy sees it, I'm afraid they will be scared to pee their pants. Li Junxian opened his mouth to say a nonsense, wanting to comfort Princess Changle.
"Huh? Why didn't I see it? Princess Changle asked curiously.
Where can Princess Changle see any artistic conception, she is just a beginner, but she was fooled by Li Junxian so promised.
"Princess, if you don't believe me, you can ask Wan'er." Li Junxian turned his head and said.
Li Junxian hurriedly gave Wan'er a few looks, hoping that Wan'er could help her lie. And Wan'er didn't have the courage to deceive the princess, so he couldn't speak for a while.
When Li Junxian saw this situation, he immediately said: "Princess, you see that Wan'er was shocked by your masterpiece and was stunned by the artistic conception inside. ”
"Oh? It turns out that the artistic conception of my paintings is so good! Princess Changle said a little complacently.
Li Junxian looked at Princess Changle like this, and couldn't help snickering in his heart, because this situation was very similar to a Western fairy tale that Li Junxian read when he was a child - the emperor's new clothes.
"Princess, my sketch is standing at the peak of realism, and your Chinese painting is standing at the peak of artistic conception, princess, can you find a way to combine them into one and turn them into a painting method? To make this new painting into a kind of painting style that has both profound artistic conception and realistic painting, so that there are both forms and gods, this is the pinnacle of painting! Li Junxian said.
Li Junxian didn't know that if he said such nonsense, Li Junxian would make him want to slap himself later.
"Really? As long as I combine these two painting methods, will this become a national player in the art world? Princess Changle asked.
"Of course!" Li Junxian said unashamedly. (To be continued.) )
