After a busy day during the day, Xiao Baoju returned to the dormitory directly after sending Wang Tingting away. When Xiao Baoju woke up again, he was woken up by the ringtone of his mobile phone. As soon as it seemed that the call was Wang Linkai, Xiao Baoju hurriedly picked up the phone. "Hey, teacher, are you looking for me?"

"Baoju, I went to your studio to look for you just now, but you weren't there? Where have you been? ”

"Old... Teacher, I'm in the dorm. Is there something wrong? ”

"You don't want to go to the cafeteria to eat tonight, Xiao Tao bought some mutton from outside and came to eat in my studio, right? Shall we have a drink? Wang Lin Kaile said. How can anyone who draws without drinking?

"Okay teacher, I'll be right over!" Xiao Baoju was a little surprised, this is the first time he has drunk with Wang Linkai at night since he came to the art center, the old man usually doesn't eat at night, what's wrong today? Looks like he's in a good mood! The teacher has an order, and Xiao Baoju does not dare to slack off. Hurry up and wash up and go to the banquet.

Xiao Baoju came to Wang Linkai's studio, and the old man was reading. After seeing Xiao Baoju come in, the old man put down the book in his hand, "Baoju, sit down?" After Xiao Baoju took his seat, Wang Linkai looked at Xiao Baoju happily, "Baoju, last time we went to Hengyun Group, the figure painting you painted is really good, I think your future attainments in figure painting are higher than landscape painting." These days, I've been thinking about it, you can try to lean into figure painting? ”

"Teacher, my figure painting is actually the foundation of sketching." Xiao Baoju is a little unconfident, for now, Xiao Baoju's figure paintings are not as easy as landscape paintings.

"You can first take a look at some information about Mr. Jiang Zhaohe, Jiang Zhaohe's success in figure painting is inseparable from the help of the famous painter Xu Beihong. In 1927, Jiang Zhaohe was introduced to Xu Beihong by a friend in Shanghai. Xu Beihong is 9 years older than Jiang Zhaohe, born in Yixing City, Jiangsu Province, in a family of calligraphy and painting. Therefore, for Jiang Zhaohe, who is self-taught and aspiring to realistic figure painting, Xu Beihong is a rare mentor and friend. When Xu Beihong saw that Jiang Zhaohe's figure paintings created with brushes and ink were accurate and vivid, and the brushwork was smooth and changeable, he was excited. He helped Jiang Zhaohe gradually get rid of the gaudy atmosphere of advertising paintings, face real life, and express the painter's profound artistic thoughts. In his association with Xu Beihong, Jiang Zhaohe gradually grew from a street painter to an artist who pays attention to life and society. After the 50s, Jiang Zhaohe's creation entered a bumper harvest period, and he created many wonderful portraits such as "Portrait of Ah Q" and "Portrait of Du Fu". Although these portraits are not as shocking as "Wandering People", they are more sophisticated in style and more skillful, and the spiritual temperament of the characters is more vividly expressed. Xu Beihong's "Yugong Moves Mountains" and Jiang Zhaohe's "Diagram of Displaced People" realize their social value from different artistic perspectives. The former work uses romantic techniques to use the past as a metaphor for the present, encouraging the Chinese to carry forward the spirit of Yugong and move mountains to fight to the end; The latter is a bloody and tearful indictment of the atrocities of the invaders in a realistic way, which can be called the twin gems of realism in the history of Chinese painting. This kind of realistic ink figure painting, from the teaching thought to the creative process, has been summarized by theorists as the "Xu Jiang system", and its characteristics are: based on the works of the traditional figure painter Ren Bonian and some folk portrait painters, plus the shape and color of French realistic oil painting, to express realistic themes. From the 50s of the last century to the present, realistic ink figure painting has basically become the mainstream of contemporary Chinese figure painting. After Xu Beihong's death, Jiang Zhaohe continued to carry forward this method of figure painting, and cultivated batch after batch of outstanding figure painters throughout the country. Wang Linkai is willing to speak, and Xiao Baoju is even more willing to listen, you must know that the teacher is opening a small stove for him, and the opportunity is rare!

This night can be said to be the most meaningful night that Xiao Baoju felt after coming to the art center. Wang Linkai talked about Xu Beihong from Jiang Zhaohe, and from Xu Beihong to Qi Baishi, Fu Baoshi, Zhang Daqian, etc. It really opened a new door for Xiao Baoju. It's not that those who know how to paint landscapes can't paint figures, and those who know how to paint characters can't paint landscapes.

This night, Xiao Baoju couldn't sleep for a long time, until the second half of the night, Xiao Baoju was still unable to sleep while lying on the bed, and his mind was still full of the knowledge that Wang Linkai had instilled tonight. Xiao Baoju simply got dressed and got up, and came to his studio at night. Since it is a figure painting, Xiao Baoju started directly with Wang Tingting, and after printing out Wang Tingting's photo in the studio, he directly used rice paper to start drafting on the painting wall.

Xiao Baoju now sketched the outline of Wang Tingting's body on rice paper with a pencil, and then began to use a brush to start the line. When the first rays of sunlight in the morning shone into the studio, Xiao Baoju's painting was finally completed. Wang Tingting's face uses the realistic techniques of Western figure painting. The body is wearing a green cheongsam, and Wang Tingting in the painting can be described by words such as elegant and noble.

Painting is a youth meal, Xiao Baoju's spirit and physical strength are good. So I painted Wang Tingting's painting overnight. Xiao Baoju took a photo of Wang Tingting and sent it over, then turned off his mobile phone and went back to the dormitory to catch up on sleep.

"Ah·····h Wang Tingting just opened her eyes and saw the information received on her mobile phone, and screamed excitedly while she was still in the bed.

"I said, Tingting, what's your name early in the morning?" Liu Siqi was wearing a cool pajamas, and she pushed open Wang Tingting's door with sleepy eyes and said dissatisfiedly.

"Kiki, come and take a look at the painting that Brother Xiao painted for me, I really like it! Ahh Wang Tingting screamed excitedly.

"I said, Tingting, it's just a painting, what about you? I said, do you like Brother Xiao anymore? Tell me, maybe I can match you? Liu Siqi sat on Wang Tingting's bed with a smile, looked at Wang Tingting with a wicked smile and said.

"I like Brother Xiao, but I don't think he calls me much, but he frequently sends you secret waves? Hee-hee..." Wang Tingting made no secret of her true thoughts.

"I'm a guy with a boyfriend! Brother Xiao still leaves it to you, right? Look at it, you are promoting art, and Brother Xiao is a person who may become a great artist in the future, and you are together to be Qin Se and Ming? Although Brother Xiao has been divorced once, he has no children. This is a proper diamond king, you have to grasp it! Liu Siqi became a military advisor to Wang Tingting.
