Chapter 1166: Incongruous Interlude – Portraiture
The reason for the establishment of an art salon is that not only Leonardo, but also someone in the family who has a new painting or other artistic work, will hold a formal public exhibition here after completion. The aim is to bring interested parties together at once and have a chance to have a face-to-face, formal discussion.
It's kind of a communication, so that the creator can get the opportunity of other people's evaluation. Participation is not mandatory, including the group of children who are raised in the annex, but those who are interested can also come. Occasionally, outsiders attended, such as the famous painters who were commissioned by the Marquis, or the elegant Grand Duke of Carvey.
No one thought about expanding the scale of such an event, and it was mainly the participation of internal personnel and the learning and training. Although the act of making art is a very intimate act, it never hurts to communicate with people.
And when you talk to yourself, you won't be too vicious. To say that a poisonous tongue helps creators realize and improve their shortcomings is bullshit. The poisonous tongue is just a way to sensationalize and attract the attention of other readers, and it has a hairy relationship with creation. How many people will reflect on their mistakes after being scolded. In addition to the regret and unhappiness of those who work hard, there is a fart reflection!
Don't mention the bullshit. This time, the subject is a portrait of Fin, and what kind of work Leonardo will come up with is still of great interest to someone.
Lin seriously thought back to whether he had ever taught him Picasso's abstract paintings. If you come up with an abstract portrait, although Fen's expression may be funny, maybe she should run away as soon as possible.
Speaking of which, painting in a fascination is definitely not an easy task. In this world where there are no chemical pigments and no digital color palette, trying to mix the colors you want is definitely a big project that requires a lot of knowledge.
The most troublesome part is that some colors can become very expensive or difficult to obtain because the pigment-based raw materials are too scarce. Even if it is achieved, the process of making it into pigments is not an easy task. If you don't get it right, you may end up with a different color than you want. And this difference may be the difference between a masterpiece and a masterpiece.
Unfortunately, while whiteboard pencil can be used to imaginative variations of the colors that compose patterns in the air, these cannot be replicated on paper or canvas. You have to find it yourself or ask someone who also understands the way to find it separately and slowly collect the raw materials that can be used.
And in terms of patience in color, a certain crosser is obviously no better than his own apprentice. If it's more than a sketch or a line, someone can indeed be someone else's teacher. But as long as coloring is involved, in this world without chemical pigments and dot paper, a certain traversal has become a contemptible scum.
Look at someone's vivid block of color painting that is almost indistinguishable from a mosaic glass painting, which is almost at the level of a schoolboy who only knows how to use twelve-color watercolor. Although someone can name a set of painting skills, the actual finished product is a miserable level in the evaluation of his own apprentice.
Leonardo's level in this regard can be described as 'if God helps'. The same pigment, thick and thin, applied to the canvas, can give a different feeling. He can not only restore the colorful world in his eyes, but also give the viewer a sense of strong emotions in the painting. It's not just a feeling of beauty, it's like a hammer hitting your brain, so intense.
This strong feeling, coupled with Miriam's prompt just now, could not help but seriously consider whether to make some magic materials into paint and provide them to Leonardo to paint. You might be able to get something amazing.
Will it be a cursed prop or a god-blessed painting? If it were Van Gogh's cry, maybe he could summon the unspeakable...... It's scary to think about.
Just when someone's imagination strikes, the room of the art salon is right in front of them. There was already a large group of people gathered inside, and in addition to their own apprentices, the servants brought by the Marquis of Balan also gathered on the periphery. Of course, the two protagonists are also present, that is, the painter and the model.
As servants of the nobility, many of them have far better vision and taste than ordinary people. After all, in addition to talent, the cultivation of this kind of thing is also very important, that is, to see more or less, and whether the horizon is open enough.
And they are also the best group of people who tout their skills, after all, when they are other people's servants, they don't always complain about their bosses. It is undeniable that there are people in the nobility who have a trembling personality, but they can accept people with similar status to themselves, and they may not be able to tolerate a servant climbing on their heads.
Anyway, this small circle is like this, as long as it is blown, don't be black. Lin Lede has to create such a 'work' environment, anyway, under his own leadership, these fools and fools don't need to innovate, they just need to reproduce the things they imagine or have experienced. At least those things on Earth that have been proven to be effective.
The thought flowed, and Lin strode forward. He was also the master of the house, so when he appeared, the servants of the marquis were very sensible to make a way.
Whoever dares to pose in front of a mere magician, the grass on the grave is almost a man's height. I didn't see the marquis speak out for her servant or anything, so she just silently asked her grandfather to come over. Once or twice, everyone will know where their status is.
However, as today's protagonists, the creators of the paintings, and the only woman in the family who doesn't have to give face to someone, they didn't retreat immediately. It's not that they look down on anyone, it's just that the two of them are discussing the painting and don't notice, or pretend not to notice someone approaching.
Lin didn't reach out to push people away, or do something too rude. It's good to change the angle yourself, it's not a big deal. The painting is there, and no matter how you appreciate it, you can appreciate it. You don't need to look at feng shui before you look at it, you can find acupuncture points, that's something that only the dead need to consider. So Lin consciously took an angle, looked at it, and suddenly someone froze on the spot.
It's not so much a portrait as a bust. In the painting, Fen is dressed in a simple plain linen robe, with a low-cut and wide collar, revealing a jade neck and a large area of snow white. Put your hands together and rest on the armrests of your seat. Lean slightly sideways, and then tilt your head slightly, so that the beautiful and delicate face is facing the picture.
Behind it is the windowsill of his attic for stargazing. Looking outside, there are not many man-made buildings, mountain peaks, woods, detours, and a beautiful scenery. This is also because the location of his mansion belongs to the periphery of Estari, and it is a group of people who prefer tranquility and will choose where to live.
In the painting, Fen wears her tower-shaped bun and wears her favorite red-rimmed square-rimmed glasses. Long eyelashes, a pair of beautiful eyes looking forward to seducing people. seems to be smiling but not smiling, with a beauty mole at the corner of the mouth, a little subtle and a little charming, which leads people to reverie.
And the use of color in the paintings is even more amazing. The soft glow shows the plump and supple flesh on the skin; On the clothes, it has the unique luster of linen clothing. Coupled with the warm tone, looking at this painting, you will feel like you are also being looked at by the person in the painting. Is that kindness? Love? Or is it some unknown feeling? Everything is in that smile.
If you want to say that something is bad, it is that nothing is good!
