Chapter 41: Liu Haili, the Magical Painter
"True and false, false and real, it's just using your mind and your feelings for the people here, don't care!"
Na Yinghong's tone was very natural when she spoke, without the slightest concern.
I don't know if what she said is true or if Bai Ruoshui itself has nothing to do with her, so she doesn't care.
But things have happened, and I have no way to change it, I just hope that what Yinghong said is true, and Bai Ruoshui is fine.
"Okay, I'll deal with this matter, my sister flashed first!"
After speaking, before I could speak, Na Yinghong had disappeared without a trace, just like when she came, without taking a single cloud with her.
I stayed at home for two days, although it was quite boring, but fortunately, Lu Xiaoman's soul was there, and there was a lot of harmony between the two of us, she also said that she would not treat me like she used to be, and that I would leave one day.
She also said that during this time of her body, she learned a lot of things, saw a lot, and learned a lot of human feelings and sophistication when she existed in another form.
"A lot of things are just passing away, and I just hope to go back again!"
This is what Lu Xiaoman said to me when I left the room and came out, and I felt that she seemed to have a lot of vicissitudes at that moment.
I suddenly felt lost, Lu Xiaoman herself is a talented woman, I understood that I had hatred for me before, but at that time I didn't think there was any change in her, and there was nothing bad about her.
But then I felt very lost, she became desolate, and I became more guilty.
"Xiao Man, Hai Li also agreed, willing to teach you the art of painting!"
Xu Zhimo has already arranged all the things for me to learn to paint, and even my apprenticeship has been prepared, and he is really thoughtful about this matter.
I haven't seen the apprenticeship etiquette when studying here, and our society will also follow the old-fashioned apprenticeship etiquette when apprenticeship, but we all study in school, even if we have learning specialties, we also report specialty classes, and there are no such old etiquette at all, so I don't know anything about the rules of this industry.
"Master!"
I listened to what Xu Zhimo taught me before, according to what he said, Liu Haili sat on a Taishi chair, I knelt down and kowtowed three times, and Weng Duanwu and Xu Zhimo on the side testified, I can be regarded as a successful apprentice.
"Painting is good at hands and meticulous in heart. From now on, you follow me, teach you the art of painting, you need to study hard, hope to live up to me! ”
Liu Haili said this sentence after taking a sip of tea, although he was ignorant when he heard it, but after Xu Zhimo's sentence was completed, it could be regarded as a successful apprenticeship.
Xu Zhimo smiled at me and stepped forward to help me up, but at this time, there was a dark wind outside.
It's already spring, and when I came over, the sky was still relatively good, although it wasn't sunny, but it was indeed sunny, why did it suddenly have a yin wind?
I didn't think much of it, and walked to the side and sat down.
"Xiaoman, although we are in the name of master and apprentice, but you don't want to be restrained in front of me, as the saying goes, every line has the head of many families. You are engaged in literature, and you have long been well-known throughout the country, you are a well-known talented woman, and I have carefully considered painting for my teacher, and I am afraid that I will not be able to bear the title of this teacher. So when we learn to draw, we are teachers and students, and as for normal times, we are friends! ”
Liu Haili got up from the Taishi chair and walked to the ordinary position on the side and sat down before speaking to me. He is indeed very modest, I know that Lu Xiaoman's reputation is not good, but it is my own idea to learn to paint, and I still have to do what I should do, especially respect this issue.
"Hai Li, what you said is reasonable, even if Miss Lu is a literati, she is still a wealthy lady, so I think what you said is right!"
Weng Duanwu laughed a few times and agreed, Xu Zhimo didn't speak, nodded his head, and agreed with Liu Haili's words.
"You should be in a good mood today, right? How about you paint a picture? ”
When Xu Zhimo spoke, his eyes had a feeling that he was digging a pit, as if he was smiling but not smiling, that is, all kinds of pits between good friends.
"You kid? Okay, let's draw one, but today's painting is for Xiao Man, and it can be regarded as my first gift as a teacher! ”
After speaking, Liu Haili asked people to prepare the necessities of rice paper, pens and ink specially used for painting Chinese paintings. It is said that it is the four treasures of the study, but there is a difference.
Since the painting was given to me, Liu Haili decided to paint me with this painting and paint with me as the theme!
I'm wearing a high-slit cheongsam today, Lu Xiaoman's body I really think it's very good, the lines and torso are very clear, I can't wait to be a man, if I am a man, I must marry such a beauty and be a wife, not to mention a talented woman!
According to Liu Haili's words, I stood in front of a rockery garden in his yard, it was really early spring, there was a plum tree in the rockery garden, and the plum blossoms were blooming.
I stood in front of the plum blossom and made a move, and the bangs were selected to select the most suitable move. In the end, he chose one in a thousand to choose one that was sideways but facing him, holding the plum branch with one hand and leaning towards his waist with the other.
After making my body behave more naturally, softer, and not too stiff, I fixed that movement for a few minutes, and the bangs kept observing, and after I was done, I no longer needed to fiddle with the movement, just go and see how he painted.
I was surprised, if you are painting a person, the model has to be there all the time in a motion, and when Liu Haili asked me to pose that action just now, I was still thinking about how long he would have to draw.
But I didn't expect that he only needed me to stand for a few minutes, and after he finished reading it, could it be that he had already read all the key points and memorized them?
Curious, I didn't ask, I stood by and watched him, I wanted to see how he drew me.
Sure enough, when he moved the pen, although it was wide open and closed, but if you looked closely, it was as thin as a needle and as a thread.
Is this what he told me, "To draw, you must be good at the pen and careful with the heart"?
Liu Haili paints people first, and then sets the scene.
"When painting, you have to know what the key point is, and the focus is different for each painting, and the focus is determined by the painter. Today, our focus is on people, and we draw people with Xiao Man as the center, and everyone paints in a different order. Painting with the combination of people and scenes, some are painting people first, and some are painting objects first, I will draw people first today, and then paint things first next time! ”
Liu Haili looked at me as if he wanted to pay attention to listening and watching, and the pen in his hand did not stop while speaking, and kept dipping in ink.
"In today's paintings, you are the focus, so the characters need to be depicted in particular, but this does not mean that other objects, the scenery is not important, it is equally important. As long as there are things in a painting, none of them are unimportant, even if it is a backdrop, then you have to draw the best effect of his foil. ”
When Liu Haili said these words, I, Xu Zhimo and Weng Duanwu listened carefully on the side, although Xu Zhimo was also engaged in literature and was a great poet; Weng Duanwu is a high massage, known as the best massager in this era, but several of us listened very carefully.
Especially for me, today is my first class on the first day of apprenticeship, and this first class, not to mention whether it can be quite a lot or how much I can learn, just talking about the meaning is different.
While speaking, Liu Haili had already finished painting the whole person, that is, Lu Xiaoman's body, and the whole person was painted very vividly under Liu Haili's brush. As he slowly retouched the details, the whole face and the color of the top, the movements of the torso, the movements of the hands, and the facial expressions were exactly the same as my movements just now.
It's as if it was drawn from a template, not the slightest bit different from the pictures taken by our current cameras.
But he didn't have a look, because he hadn't painted his eyes yet, everything was like, all of them were exactly the same, but he just didn't have a look, and the whole portrait had no eyes.
I thought Liu Haili was going to paint the eyes next, but he didn't, and instead started framing.
I've heard the truth that the finishing touch is that the look of the eyes is important, and it's the most important thing. But is this painting the same?
"The next thing is framing, a painting, not everything has to be painted, for example, a person, you stand there, you always have some bad things expressed, then these bad things should not be painted, of course, this depends on the painter's vision, each painter is in a different angle, the trade-off is different."
"I don't need to paint all the scenery here, just like this plum blossom, I don't need to paint every plum blossom, every branch of the plum tree. Instead, you should choose the most suitable scenery and draw it. This is the last point I emphasize, the rest is a matter of craftsmanship, you need to look carefully! ”
To paint landscapes, he paints plum blossoms first, then branches, branches and trunks. A painting was soon presented under his brush, a very magical painting, the figure is a figure, and the plum blossom is a plum blossom.
The scenery and people are very clear, but there is no separation between the two, and the people and things are integrated together, even more real than the movements I just posed, which makes people fascinated.
In the scenery, he only painted the upper part of the plum blossoms, and then half of the rockery was blocked, the rockery was in front of me, I seemed to be smelling the fragrance of plum blossoms, and seemed to be looking at him, but there were no eyes, so I couldn't be sure whether I was looking at people or smelling the fragrance of flowers.
"It's close, it's the eyes!"
