Xiao Baoju slept until noon, and in the afternoon, Xiao Baoju took the portrait he painted for Wang Tingting last night and came to Wang Linkai's studio and asked Wang Linkai to comment. "Baoju, this is what you drew last night? Haven't slept all night? Wang Linkai looked at Xiao Baoju in disbelief and asked.

"Yes, teacher. I listened to the lesson you gave me last night, and I couldn't sleep when I went back. So, I went straight to the studio and painted for the night! This is the portrait I promised Wang Tingting to paint for her last time, and I haven't painted it yet! Xiao Baoju obediently stood behind Wang Linkai and said cautiously.

"Your painting, on the whole, is quite good, the combination of Chinese and Western techniques, but Baoju is still bold in the lines of the characters. I have a copy of "Chinese Portrait Painting Appreciation" here, you can take it back and read it. Figure painting is one of the earliest of the three major disciplines of traditional Chinese painting (the other two are landscape painting and flower and bird painting), which is a sign of the independence and maturity of Chinese painting art. Figure paintings are diverse in content and subject matter, and are divided into history paintings, genre paintings, portrait paintings, and lady paintings. The painting method includes fine brushwork and coloring, white drawing and reduction of brush, splashing ink freehand, etc. Gu Kaizhi, Yan Liben, Wu Daozi, Li Gonglin, Tang Yin, Qiu Ying, Chen Hongshou and other masters of the past dynasties have left their own masterpieces in this field, reflecting the social outlook, customs and human feelings of each era. Figure painting is a painting discipline that directly reflects reality in Chinese painting, so in addition to its unique artistic value, it also has a historical value and sociological document value that is difficult to be compared with other painting disciplines. In order to enable the majority of painting lovers and art workers to systematically and comprehensively understand the artistic achievements of painters in different periods in their respective fields, the editors specially invited Chinese art history experts, art critics and researchers of the three major painting disciplines to compile this set of "Chinese Portrait Painting Appreciation". Divided into three volumes, "Appreciation of Chinese Character Paintings" shows readers more than 300 fine works of Chinese character paintings from the origin of figure painting, the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Five Dynasties, the Song Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, and is accompanied by concise and concise introductions and evaluations, interpreting the connotation of the paintings from multiple directions and angles. A closer look at this volume allows people to have a more intuitive, comprehensive and specific understanding of the essence of these Chinese character paintings, relive the artist's state of mind when painting, and find the truth, goodness and beauty contained in them beyond the limitations of time and space. Wang Linkai said as he took down a thick book from the bookshelf and handed it to Xiao Baoju. and briefly introduced this book to Xiao Baoju.

"Teacher, then look at this painting, I still have to change it?" Xiao Baoju took the heavy book.

"The painting is good overall, especially with clothes, so it's okay. Baoju, what's wrong with you and Shao Lin? Have you been on a call lately? Wang Linkai motioned for Xiao Baoju to sit down, and the two of them talked about their hearts.

"Teacher, Linlin, she has broken up with me, she... She remarried her ex-husband for the sake of her children. Xiao Baoju lowered his head and said unhappily.

"Baoju, maybe the two of you don't have fate, right? Wait for your sister to pay attention to you, and introduce you to a good one! Wang Linkai handed Xiao Baoju a cigarette. The achievements of his apprentice in the future are very high, but how can he be unhappy in his marriage?

chatted with the old man in the studio for more than half an hour, and Xiao Baoju was interrupted by Wang Tingting's phone call. It turned out that Wang Tingting and Liu Siqi couldn't wait to appear in the art center, which shows how much Wang Tingting loves this painting. Xiao Baoju hurriedly walked out of Wang Linkai's office and saw the second daughter standing in the square in the courtyard.

"Brother Xiao, why are you on the master's side? Kiki and I are going to look for you in your studio? Wang Tingting came over with a smile and greeted Xiao Baoju.

"Tingting, Siqi, the painting is here with the teacher, I will bring it over and ask the teacher to give me a comment. Come on in, right? Xiao Baoju invited the second daughter into Wang Linkai's studio.

"Hello, Master Wang. We're here to bother you again! Wang Tingting greeted Wang Linkai softly.

"Haha... Welcome, Baoju, take the painting to your studio. I'm not going to mix with you young people! Wang Linkai happily asked Xiao Baoju to leave with his second daughter, and the old man was afraid of chaos.

"Kiki, look. Brother Xiao painted me so beautifully, hehe..." The three of them came to Xiao Baoju's studio, and after Wang Tingting carefully fixed the painting on the painting wall, she took Liu Siqi's hand and said super happily.

"yes, I'm jealous. Brother Xiao, you have to draw one for me too! Liu Siqi pouted and said with some jealousy.

"Okay, wait a few days, I'll draw another picture for Siqi!" Xiao Baoju smiled and agreed.

"Brother Xiao, I'm going to invite you to dinner! I'll arrange it tonight and set up a banquet to welcome the painting! Wang Tingting very generously extended an invitation to Xiao Baoju.

"There's no need to eat, right? I promised it. Xiao Baoju said very tactfully.

"Oops, Brother Xiao. You just go for it, and Kiki's boyfriend? We went to my friend's homestay, where we ate and lived. Can you soak in hot springs? ”

"Really... It's true? That... All right. Xiao Baoju nodded in agreement, it sounded like a good opportunity to relax. The most··· The most··· The most important thing is that you can also soak in the hot springs, which is interesting. Well, the hot springs must be mixed bathing for men and women!

"Qiqi, how is Wei Dong going? Shall we pick him up or will he go on his own? Wang Tingting saw that Xiao Baoju agreed, and happily turned around and asked Liu Siqi.

"Let's go first, he'll go later!" Liu Siqi said.

Liu Siqi drove the car, Wang Tingting sat in the co-pilot, and Xiao Baoju sat in the back seat. Listening to the second daughter's chattering gossip about the newspaper, Xiao Baoju couldn't interject, just looked at the scenery outside the window. Shifosi Hot Spring Resort is located in the southern mountainous area of Zicheng City. The three of them drove for more than 2 hours to arrive here, obviously Wang Tingting had already arranged it, the two big reporters arrived, and the boss of the scenic spot actually came out to greet him.

"Mr. Wu, let me introduce you, this is our young domestic painter Mr. Xiao Baoju, who is a disciple of Master Wang Linkai!" Wang Tingting pulled Xiao Baoju and introduced Wu Chunliang, the owner of the scenic spot.

The young painter didn't touch Wu Chunliang's heart, but when he heard that it was Wang Linkai's apprentice, Wu Chunliang immediately became enthusiastic. "Oh, Sister Tingting, you invited such a heavyweight to come today, why don't you tell your brother? Master Xiao, welcome to our Stone Buddha Temple Resort? ”
