55 Apprenticeship
"It's true, Mr. Lan's name seems to be Lan Tianyu, could it be that these three paintings were really created by him?" Basically identifying the authors of these three paintings, Fan Qingfeng was extremely shocked, and still had some hard faith in this result.
After listening to the dialogue between Wan Lao and Fan Qingfeng, several other artists were even more shocked. The level of these three paintings is too high, if it is the work of a certain master, they can still accept it, but the author is actually a young man Lan Tianyu, and it is difficult for them to believe it in their hearts.
Although they are also known as artists and even masters, most of them have not yet reached the height of these three paintings, and it is difficult for them to accept such a reality in their hearts when they are compared to such a young man.
"This is my graffiti work this afternoon, and the shallowness has made several masters laugh. Painting is my hobby, I have no teacher, I have always figured it out by myself, and I was fortunate to be seen by Wan Lao and several masters. "Wan Lao is the Taishan Beidou of today's painting world, the opportunity is rare, and the blue sky and rain carefully seek advice.
"The young people of today are amazing! A genius like you, I don't know how many people are still hidden in the folk and unknown? We have you in China, so why can't we become famous in the world art world? Hearing Lan Tianyu admit it in person, Wan Lao was extremely emotional.
After some sighing, Wan Lao continued: "No wonder the styles of your three paintings are different, it turns out that they are the ancestors of the law, and the styles of these three paintings inherit the essence of Shi Ke, Bada Shanren and Shi Tao respectively, and their painting style, you imitate it very accurately. Although it is an imitation of painting techniques and no innovation, it is rare that it has come out of its own in terms of artistic conception, and the artistic conception contained in it is similar to the works of the three masters. In particular, I have admired the facsimile of the first Yuan Dynasty at the Tokyo National Museum in Japan, and this work of yours, whether it is painting or artistic conception, is no worse than that facsimile, and has reached the level of the collection. ”
"I was really ashamed to see Mr. Lan's paintings. Under the guidance of the teacher, I practiced hard for decades, and it was just such a level, and I was a little complacent before, but now I know that it was just sitting in the well and watching the sky. Fan Qingfeng was very emotional.
"Wan Lao and Dean Fan have won the award, my painting skills are not guided, they are completely imitating the sages, they have no own characteristics at all, they are still very far away from the realm of masters, and they dare not compare with Dean Fan."
For Lan Tianyu's humility and not pride, Wan Lao appreciated it more and more, and he commented: "It's good that you can recognize your own shortcomings, but you don't have to be arrogant." Your drawing skills have been learned to the essence of the sages, and it will not be difficult to develop your own unique style over time. Now your paintings can present a strong artistic conception, which is already the level of masters, and this is also the most important point in judging master's works. Although your paintings have not yet formed their own style in terms of painting techniques, the strong artistic conception presented by the works is enough to make up for this shortcoming. So, these three paintings of yours can already be regarded as masterpieces. ”
Wan Lao thought for a moment and continued: "Although your talent is very high, if you have not been guided by a famous teacher, it will still be difficult to form your own painting style, and if you can get more targeted guidance, you will definitely make greater progress." ”
"I like painting very much, and I really want to get guidance from famous teachers, but the art world is still a strange place for me, and you and a few masters are the only artists I know so far." Lan Tianyu's tone was very regretful.
"You are the most gifted painter I have ever met in my life, and if you don't dislike me for being old and dizzy, and dull-minded, I'm willing to guide you."
Wan Lao's words surprised Lan Tianyu and Fan Qingfeng and others. Wan Lao only accepted three formal disciples in his life, and Fan Qingfeng was the youngest of them, listening to the meaning of Wan Lao's words, he actually wanted to accept Lan Tianyu as his own student.
The look of surprise on Fan Qingfeng's face was immediately accepted, and it was indeed a shocking thing to accept a young student again at the age of eighty years old, but when he thought of Lan Tianyu's current achievements, he was relieved. A genius like Lan Tianyu, considering his current artistic achievements, only a leader in the painting world like Wan Lao is qualified to guide him, and Wan Lao suddenly had such an idea, completely out of love.
Seeing Lan Tianyu's somewhat surprised and incredulous expression, Fan Qingfeng quipped: "It seems that I am going to have one more junior brother, is Tianyu a little confused with joy, why don't you hurry up and call the teacher?" ”
Hearing Fan Qingfeng's question, Lan Tianyu came back to his senses and said respectfully: "This surprise is too big, I am indeed a little carried away with joy, and please don't blame the teacher." I never imagined that I would have the opportunity to worship under the teacher's door and receive your personal guidance, and I feel like a dream now. ”
Turning his head to look at Fan Qingfeng, he asked, "This is my first time apprenticing, I have never had such an experience before, and I don't know what kind of procedure it should be, senior brother must guide me." ”
"The teacher doesn't like those red tapes the most, since the teacher is willing to accept you, you just need to respectfully toast a cup of tea." Fan Qingfeng pointed.
"Thank you, senior brother, for your advice."
Lan Tianyu held a cup of Pu'er tea, came to Wan Lao's seat, bowed deeply, and said respectfully: "Student Lan Tianyu, give tea to the teacher." ”
Wan Lao smiled, took the teacup, and said, "I didn't expect that I, a person who was about to enter the earth, would be able to accept a good disciple like you, I am very relieved." With that, he took the teacup, took a deep breath of the aroma, and then took a small sip of the tea soup.
After tasting it for a long time, Wan Lao opened his mouth and praised: "A hundred years of Pu'er, it is really extraordinary, the tea fragrance is light but not scattered, the entrance is mellow and fragrant, the bottom of the tongue is singing, the medicinal fragrance is long, and it goes straight to the heart." ”
The sound spring at the bottom of the tongue is the highest state of Shengjin, and the rich medicinal aroma is the unique feature of century-old tea, and Wan Lao's evaluation is extremely high. Everyone's eyes are on the teapot, can't they taste it right away and feel what it's like to be a century-old Pu'er?
"Listening to the teacher's comment, I am even more salivating, and the little junior brother will pour me a cup too, I can't wait." Fan Qingfeng urged.
was able to follow Wan Lao to learn painting, Lan Tianyu was excited, with a bright smile on his face, and poured a cup of tea for everyone briskly, inviting everyone to taste
