23. It's not color that's philosophy

For Wan Changsheng, who has a deep-rooted concept of knowing white and keeping black in his mind, this is simply a subversion!

Didn't Wan Changsheng tell the training teacher in his prefecture-level city that everything in the world can be reflected in black and white.

Knowing the four characters of white and keeping black can basically be used as the most forced four-character mantra of Chinese painting, just like the four words printed from the book are the mantra of seal carving.

Knowing what light is, but being able to keep the gloomy real life, this is the philosophy expounded in Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching".

Just like the famous negative yin and yang Tai Chi Bagua Pisces diagram, everything in the world contains yin and yang, two opposite and mutually beneficial qi, and you can't be paranoid and think that in addition to black, it is white.

Rather, they are mutually reinforcing.

Black and white are the skeleton, and color is just a skin-like appearance.

In Chinese artistic conception painting, black and white have such an important position.

Especially black, after all, most paintings are on white paper, and it can be said that for Wan Changsheng, painting is mainly black.

Who would have thought that it was not allowed here!

Why?

Wan Changsheng definitely didn't understand, so he asked.

The tall and tall female teacher was very kind, and she didn't talk nonsense and directly painted a palm-sized color on the drawing paper with black, and then changed her pen and skillfully picked a few colors in the paint box, and quickly blended it on the lid of the paint box like a whisk, turning it into a black gray like poison, and then smeared it next to the black just now, just for a little time, the black just now has basically dried: "Feel it?" This kind of black is called coal black, coal-like black, once the water pink is used black, there will be this very extreme rigid black after drying, there is no aura, you look at this again......"

It's time for a few more words, and then the blended black that was smeared is also dry, and the female teacher surnamed Fan is still demonstrating: "Just now when I tuned it, I added more blue and green, and this black and gray was cold, and now I add more red and yellow, and this tone is warmer, understand, color painting, at least in this gouache paint painting in the exam stage, pure black is used, this color will become very rigid, and other pigments can't be suppressed, and the whole painting will be ruined, so all our dark colors, even if you think it's black, It should also be tuned out with other colors, black with life, black with its own attributes, understand? ”

Wan Changsheng said that he was struggling to understand, so let himself understand again.

Let's follow the attitude when I learned to sketch, first use my superb skills to suppress it to see if it works, don't use black, then don't use it.

The colors are not squeezed out by yourself, just apply them directly to the painting, and you have to adjust the two or more colors with each other, or add a little white to lighten and add a little ...... What kind of composite blend of black and gray darkened, these truths are understood by all Changsheng, and some of the colors of those fairy paintings on the wall of Guanyin Temple are also painted in this way.

But when he really started painting this kind of Western color, Wan Changsheng may be the kind of concrete expression that it is difficult to come back after a fork in the road.

He's having a hard time grading it!

He couldn't see the colors on the object......

For example, a pear is yellow, and most of the Chinese paintings are painted yellow, even in the Gongbi heavy color, it is just a little black, painted in the dark.

Chinese painting is an imaginary color, and it is enough to have a yellow meaning.

However, the color of Western painting needs to be accurate to all three-dimensional surfaces, and it must be full of color expression!

For example, the dark part of the pear, which is black and dark, should reflect the color sense of yellowish, reddish or greenish, and an excellent color exam must be full of a keen sense of color!

Either it is jerky and dark, or it is bright and bright, which can reflect the tone and mood of this work.

Wan Changsheng, who is full of charm in the monochrome of the sketch, is stunned when the color is expressed!

Teacher Fan estimated that he knew that Wan Changsheng was zero-based, so he couldn't help but point to him: "You two came together, you can learn from her......"

The arrogant Wan Changsheng turned his head and saw that Du Wen was happily applying the paint to the drawing paper, what are these paintings, the jar is crooked, the apple is shriveled, the pear is painted like a banana, the mess is full of large pieces of paint, there is a persimmon, she may use a total of three or five rough color blocks to express!

Teacher Fan smiled: "This female classmate's sense of color is very good, the sense of color is very keen, you look at the red of this persimmon, from the bright side contains the vitality of the sun, to the reflection of the dark side is affected by the background cloth blue, she has reflected, as for the shape is just a small problem that needs to be practiced, the important thing is this colorful feeling!" ”

It can be said that in the past few days, Wan Changsheng has maintained a very condescending mentality in front of Du Wen.

Who would have thought that it would be possible to defeat in an instant?

Du Wen also looked at Wan Changsheng's difficult picture, very strange: "It's fun, it's very simple, it's like I put on makeup for a doll!" Why don't you draw ......"

While talking, he also showed Wan Changsheng: "You see that the front of this big brush is flat, I like to dip it in yellow here, dip it in blue here, and finally dip it in coffee color and paint it together, and there is a little green in the middle, hahaha, if you want to live a good life, you must always have a little green on your head, and this life will be colorful, right?" ”

The surrounding students were all laughing forward and backward, and even Teacher Fan laughed: "Okay, okay, don't tell jokes, I'm encouraging you, you have a good sense of color, but your modeling ability is still far behind...... Don't worry. ”

Not to mention the last sentence, Wan Changsheng still feels better.

I wasn't in a hurry, but now I'm a little anxious.

The color inside the paint box can't be directly applied with a paintbrush, right?

But no matter how Wan Changsheng mixes out the color, the teacher will evaluate it, dirty.

I wondered if he was colorblind.

Teacher Fan also opened his mobile phone and called up a set of color blindness test cards, which were the kind of patchwork patterns like colored broken glass.

Wan Changsheng doesn't say that he can fully understand 100%, but at least most of them can be discerned.

The female teacher was also a little puzzled: "You are indeed not sensitive enough to color, but it will not come to the point where you have no color perception, Lao Cao said that you used to paint Chinese paintings?" ”

Wan Changsheng could only say: "The pigments are all made by myself, which is completely different from this one, in short, I am completely zero-based in this course." ”

Du Wen, who is also zero-based, is very addicted, even if the teacher commented that her grades are still very poor, and she paints like a child of several years old, but the color blocks on the picture are indeed full of emotion.

I was so happy that my face was stained with color, and I didn't care.

While swaying freely, he analyzed Wan Changsheng: "I want to ...... I may have been outside the classroom and saw them painting colors, and then I felt as if there were countless colors jumping in my heart, so I came to learn to paint, shouldn't painting be colorful, my life should also be colorful, and I must not just serve people with color...... This color is not the other color, hahaha! ”

Wan Changsheng only felt that his face was beaten, and all the calmness and calmness in front of Du Wen before were now pretending to be thick and unconscious.

Even Huang Min came over to take a look, and was a little surprised, how could Wan Changsheng's feelings for color be so lacking.

God knows where Wan Changsheng needed color perception when he painted the murals in those Guanyin Temples?

The blue-faced fangs are monsters, and the bodhisattvas are compassionate, either they are painted as bright as New Year's paintings, or the colors in the paint box are what they are painted on, or they are fixed and stylized as standard, the bodhisattvas must be golden or flesh-faced with big ears, and the monsters must be black, green, blue, these colors that are not common on weekdays.

Wan Changsheng's mind has long been solidified in what colors imply, and his feelings about colors and Du Wen's pure natural innocence are completely two worlds.

After a full day of color class, even though Wan Changsheng knew that he didn't need this kind of color feeling in the future painting world, he was still a little uncomfortable by this frustration in the face of the exam.

Especially there are guys like Du Wen who turned over and sang serfs: "Come on!" Five hundred yuan, buy one get one free, I'm righteous enough for you, learn this from me, it's not difficult! ”

Listening to what she said before, Wan Changsheng was going to be killed by her!
