Most of the reasons for grandstanding are that they don't have a deep enough foundation.

I had to use an unconventional way to attract attention.

True masters often go to the extreme on the traditional path before they begin to explore the existence of other possibilities.

Wan Changsheng is now at a stage where he is still refining his skills repeatedly.

More than ten years of solo cultivation in the stele forest has allowed him to have a calm mentality, and he is very calm in consolidating his skills little by little.

There is no rush.

He didn't even waste a moment on color paintings, and sketches were just manuscripts for sculptural forming.

It's like an elementary school student who does addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and writes arithmetic.

Many people give up the equation when they have a calculator, but Wan Changsheng will not, because only by becoming more familiar with these formulas will he eventually overcome the Goldbach conjecture.

Painting is now just a tool for him.

It is just a tool for recording, thinking, and understanding the structure of sculpture.

Therefore, his painting is basically not an artistic creation.

There is a kind of precision and cleanliness of industrial printing.

This is actually the characteristic of when he first began to learn to draw and sketch from the training in Damei.

It's just that at that time, I didn't understand the characteristics of Western painting, but now it is the result of refining and finding the right direction.

Wan Changsheng's pen is also special, and if he wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools, just like he is now used to using a chrome-vanadium alloy steel carving knife, and then go back to use an ordinary homemade steel knife, which must be very unaccustomed, which is different from the master who can use a leaf as a sword casually, and a good creative tool can bring a better creative experience.

This off-white German paintbrush comes in a variety of thicknesses, which is close to the stable thickness of a needle pen, and has the smooth experience of a signature pen, and it is difficult to return to the feel of an ordinary fountain pen after use.

Expressed on the white copy paper, it is chic and delicate, swimming like a flying dragon.

Several large trunk lines were pulled out of the gold-edged black robe dynamic that stilted Erlang's legs, and began to extend and supplement the details on the side of the main road.

The usual depiction of the head and face was left to the end.

Ge Ning and those white-robed people standing beside him probably had the biggest feeling.

What about those long lines?

It's obviously the black lines drawn by the pen, but after drawing for a while, I can't find these lines, and I feel like I've changed a piece of paper!

Dense and delicate brushstrokes submerge the main line in a staggered and neat manner.

But there is no such black knot, and there is a feeling of dense and breathable everywhere.

In particular, the lines arranged in parallel in a neat direction make it easier to highlight the skills.

There is a white robe that is very unsightly and amazed.

Wan Changsheng thought helplessly in his heart, this is just a folk artist-level portrait craft, and there is no artistry.

It's not even as thoughtful as Uncle England's.

So without thinking about the printing speed, this drawing is very fast.

But in the eyes of layman onlookers, he is very pretending to be very level.

Amazement!

The big guy in the black robe with gold edges is obviously very suitable for being regarded as the center like this, and can basically sit motionless, except for taking out his mobile phone from time to time to make a call and send a message or something, but even if he bows his head, the whole posture has not changed.

It's also a very compatible model.

For Wan Changsheng, the only thing that can be talked about technical practice may be the cloth pleats of the other party's robe.

This time, in the Italian sculpture gluttony, he has seen more than once that there is a kind of sculpture technique that pursues the ultimate effect of fabric.

It is carved in stone to express the effect of cloth as thin as a cicada's wings.

To paraphrase the ancient saying, it should be miraculous.

Wan Changsheng also tried, and in the sculpture on the stage, he tried to use white marble to express the texture of the curtain.

But this time, I saw the European masters of hundreds of years ago do it to the extreme.

Perhaps Italy's ethos as a fashion capital and fashion capital has been established since then, and even sculptures can show a variety of fabrics with different textures.

The feeling of sticking to the human body, the relationship between the fabric and the direction of the human muscles, Wan Changsheng admires.

Therefore, in the face of the crisp, smooth and very falling white robe, as well as the fluffy and soft gold-rimmed black robe on the outside, which should be very light, Wan Changsheng has a difference.

This difference in texture can be clearly seen from the pen drawings.

Finally, I looked up and captured the moment when the other party hung up the phone and thought about it.

If a big guy can become a big man, he should have unique characteristics, and Wan Changsheng used the instant expression of this seemingly lazy local tyrant as the end of his facial depiction.

As the final point of the finishing touches ended, a large number of voices of admiration and applause could be heard behind him.

Wan Changsheng chuckled and turned back to Ge Ning: "OK, OVER?" ”

Uncle Ying's expression was very serious, and he said to Wan Changsheng even more seriously and in a lower voice: "I'm really sorry to let you paint such a commercial work, I'm very sorry......"

Wan Changsheng was surprised that he actually saw that this painting had no artistic content, and got up with a smile: "This is the first time I have painted for a big person." ”

Then he said to the big guy over there: "OK? ”

Because the white robes behind them couldn't wait to hold the B3 copy paper and present it to the big guy.

Wan Changsheng, who spent a few days in the palace museum, would inevitably think that those eunuchs or officials in the palace also showed the emperor with such a flattering attitude.

The big guy stared at his portrait, his eyes were neither happy nor sad.

Wan Changsheng said in his heart that this is the performance that a big guy should have, how can he casually see something drawn by Zhang Ah Dog and Ah Mao and admire it so much.

Ge Ning stood side by side with him, perhaps in his consciousness, he thought that this was not enough respect for Wan Changsheng, not enough respect for art, and even more despised Wan Changsheng's creation, so he still stood a little ahead.

Well, it's a bit like the feeling of Wan Changsheng fans.

Then what I didn't expect was that the guy in his fifties actually pointed to the painting and asked, "That red ......"

This is the English that Wan Changsheng can understand, and Ge Ning made two translations: "Seal, he asked about that seal, I don't think it's enough for you to put a seal......"

Wan Changsheng has a fart is not enough, suddenly realized, and quickly took out his small ebony box from his pocket, most of the time he carved the seal without covering, but occasionally there is always a satisfactory seal, before grinding it off, it will also be covered as a commemoration, so this ancestral small seal box, can put a seal the size of the middle finger, plus a fingernail-sized ink groove, very exquisite.

Feel it out and dip it in your hand, and hold it with your palm to cover the corner of the picture.

He was still lazy in the whole painting, there was no background, not even a sofa, only the big guy sat like this out of thin air.

It's a very leisurely sitting posture with stilted legs, the kind of body language I have, but the eyes of half of the head seem to be looking into the distance, and the slightly narrowed eyes even have a kind of wisdom that is subtle.

This is actually Wan Changsheng's biggest feeling when he was studying in Italy.

Just like what he joked about Du Wen, no matter how awesome an artist is, in fact, in front of all aristocrats and politicians, he is a night pot.

The Uffizi Gallery was donated and renovated by the Medici family's private office building.

Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci's top works are either customized for the Holy See or sought after by powerful people.

They had been kept by the powerful all their lives, and Caravaggio wanted to be an angry rebel, so he kept running away and finally died in a duel.

In addition to creating works with various religious themes, they also painted portraits and sculptures of the bigwigs.

To put it bluntly, the white dot is the role of the imperial painter of the court.

Titian was able to live a little more comfortably during the Renaissance, and Titian was the first painter who was not attached to the ruler, but he also took over the business of many bigwigs.

If you look closely at the portraits of the bigwigs at the Uffizi Gallery, you will naturally be able to figure out what kind of paintings will most please the bigwigs.

Just like the theory of opposing balances, the portraits of the bigwigs must use a relaxed and freehand body posture to express the lofty eyes, which is the most effective effect.

Masters of hundreds of years have long summarized the routines clearly.

Wan Changsheng is just a small test now.

Sure enough, the other party was satisfied, and it was a complicated language when he looked up, and there was a white robe next to him translated into English with a thick accent, and then Ge Ning dictated it into the most standard English, adding some gestures: "He likes it very much, and asks if you are willing to stay and paint a few more pictures for him, you can choose the money...... You don't have to say yes, I promise. ”

Wan Changsheng just thought it was funny, if Du Wen was added to participate in this translation chain, it might be too spectacular: "Well, yes, I definitely can't stay and paint, I want to go back to China, in addition to studying soon, I still have a lot of work to do, so I'm sorry." ”

Ge Ning immediately expressed his attitude very formally like a press spokesman, and Wan Changsheng vaguely heard that he seemed to describe himself as a great young painter, of course, it could also mean great, he was not familiar with slang.

But the domineering president was obviously accustomed to the idea that no one dared to go against him, and asked: "This can also be work, a big job......"

Wan Changsheng understood that it might be big business, so he had to smile and say: "I have thousands of students waiting for me in China, and that is my big job, thank you." ”

Ge Ning's performance was even more solemn, with a little arrogant momentum: "My friend is a great person, it's about time, I have to send him to get ready to board the plane." ”

The big guy didn't actually feel displeased or angry, but laughed: "Student? Do you have a lot of students? ”

Wan Changsheng nodded: "Yes, painting students." ”

There seems to be laughter among the people around him, not at the kind of ridicule or laughter that this young man himself brings to the students when he is still so young.

It's just a little inexplicable laughter.

The big guy put his elbows on the armrests of the sofa and leaned over: "I want you to be a teacher for my child...... Amira? Is he coming? ”

As soon as he shouted back, someone immediately raised the volume, and then a boy of seven or eight years old was brought in.

Against the backdrop of the white robe, the skin is slightly dark, the thick hair has long sideburns, the eyes are quite large, the ears are also large, and the thick lips are a little buckteeth, slightly cautious.

Wan Changsheng smiled and stretched out his hand: "Do you like to draw?" ”

Ge Ning's face was simply proud of it, and he accompanied Wan Changsheng to bend down to face the child.

Gentlemanly demeanor, especially the gentlemanly demeanor of the British style, with a special emphasis on the attitude towards the weak, even if it is time to bully, it is still not polite, but it is still quite important at the personal level.

Wan Changsheng, the fan of the Buddha of ten thousand families, is also a bit similar.
