Chapter 172: Sketcher Promotion
On the front page of the auction preview, Li Shi saw a yellow seal and immediately became interested.
He carefully looked at the title of the lot introduction - the seal of the middle Qing Dynasty Wen Zheng Ming Qian Tian Huang.
"It's really Tian Huang."
Reach inside and click in to see the details.
"The size is 3.4×1.6×7.3cm, and the weight is only 45g, which is less than one or two weights."
The estimated price is: 600,000-900,000 (RMB).
"The weight of 45 grams is estimated to be about 780,000 yuan, and if it is calculated according to 800,000 yuan, the unit price is more than 170,000 yuan a gram."
"This unit price, in Tianhuang, should not be the most expensive."
Li Shi rubbed his hands.
Recently, he has been studying painting, and he occasionally wonders if he can make a few seals to use.
However, sketching is only (introductory +), and I haven't drawn anything that I am particularly satisfied with, so I am not in a hurry.
When he used to check all kinds of precious substances, he knew a little bit about Tian Huang's information, and knew that Tian Huang had been called the "King of Seal Stones" since the Ming and Qing dynasties. Dignitaries, scholars, and even emperors all vied to use the seals carved by Tian Huang.
"In addition to engraving, I have always wanted to find a second and third gemstone in addition to jadeite, as an alternative to exchanging wealth in the future, in addition to Hetian jade, this Tianhuang is not a high-value choice."
Li Shi typed "Tian Huang" in the search box at the top right of the auction website, clicked to confirm, and soon, all the transaction data related to Tian Huang in previous years were displayed.
Select the prices to sort from highest to lowest, and then check them out one by one.
"Qing Kangxi Zhou Shangjun made Wu Guozhen and his wife's own Tianhuang seal (a set of eleven pieces), weighing a total of 438 grams, and the transaction price was 25.3 million yuan...... The unit price is 57,700 grams. ”
"Qing Kangxi Tian Huang Frozen Double Phoenix Button Generous Chapter, weighing 256 can, the transaction price is 16.1 million...... The unit price is 62,800 grams. ”
Li Shi looked at all the Tian Huangshi lots in the top few prices, and then opened the website of Dejia Auction Company, which he was more familiar with, and searched for their Tian Huang transaction records over the years.
On Dejia's side, the highest transaction price is a modern Shoushantian Huangshi ornament, 20.12 million, weighing 340 grams, and the unit price is also 59,000 grams.
"The current gold price is in the early 400s, that is to say, the price of the top Tianhuang is at least more than 100 times that of gold!"
He checked some information on the Internet and saw someone saying in the forum that the price of the top Tianhuang stone was even as high as 100,000 grams.
"It's not much different from the top jadeite, the key is that you can't just exchange jadeite, it's a trick!"
"Let's find a way to buy a high-quality Tianhuang sample first."
"There are too many fakes now, and it is relatively reliable to use large auction companies."
Li Shi returned to the website of the Beijing Libao Auction Company, and the preview stated that their auction would be held at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Xiangjiang in late January.
"It's only early December, and there's still a month and a half to go."
He went to the website of Dejia Auction Company, which he had cooperated with twice, to check their auction forecast, and found that in addition to their online auction, the next large-scale auction was actually held in Xiangjiang, but the time was slightly earlier than Libao Auction Company, in early January.
"Jade Gold and Stone Scholar's Art View Ancient Auction."
"Hey, in addition to Tian Huangshi, there are also Tian Baishi and Bai Hibiscus ......"
After Li Shi roughly browsed it, he sent a message to Zhou Yajuan of Dejia Auction Company.
Zhou Yajuan replied quickly: "No problem, Mr. Li, leave it to me." ”
"I'm sorry for that, thank you."
Li Shi replied with a thank you, put down the phone, and temporarily put down Tian Huang's beforehand, and rethought how to design the ring.
He suddenly remembered that when he drew a sketch, he emphasized the need to observe first, and suddenly patted his thigh: "Hi, what's the use of me doing this, the ring is worn on the hand, you can directly observe her hand to find inspiration." ”
Li Shi stood up with a smile and strolled into the bedroom.
Chen Qiuye slept very soundly, Li Shi lay down next to her, turned over and approached, found a proper position, and picked up her left hand to play, without waking her up.
Beauty is like jade.
The same is true of the hands of beautiful women.
Chen Qiuye's hands are as slender as onions and as white as jade.
Looking, playing, or being played, are all excellent products, and they are interesting, and only Li Shi knows it.
"Such a pair of plain hands is originally a work of art, but there is no need to decorate it with too many and complicated accessories."
Li Shi was touched and admired.
I thought to myself, and only wore a jade jade bracelet on my wrist, as a magic weapon for the fairy to capture the demon dragon, but it was just right.
After a while, he got up, went to the living room, and picked up the pen and sketchbook again.
Soon, two round bracelets were spent on white paper.
"The purple color is elegant, and the left side is a high ice violet bar, which can be worn when attending important occasions."
"After the colorless jadeite quality comes up, it will be white because of fluorescence, which is called 'white moonlight' by many people, and the right side is a glass colorless round bar, cold and crystalline, usually worn, but it is in line with her temperament."
Li Shi smiled with satisfaction.
He was not in a hurry to redeem it.
Among the samples collected before, the best violet sample, in terms of color, although it is relatively positive, but positive purple is only a choice, Li Shi expected, in addition to being more suitable for positive purple, there is also pink purple.
"This time I went to Pingzhou and Jieyang, just to collect some more samples, and then surprise her when I come back."
Put down the sketchbook, got up and went to the main bathroom in the living room to take a shower, after coming out, Li Shi looked at the time, it was already past noon, took his mobile phone and ordered a takeout, and took out the "Advanced Sketching Course: Nichollydes Teaching Method" from his backpack, and began to study.
After reading for a while, I picked up the sketchbook and drew two assignments according to the requirements in the book.
When the takeaway arrived, he went to the bedroom to take a look.
This Chen Qiuye, every time he goes to the back, he doesn't admit defeat, he screams happily, but in fact, he is already too tired, otherwise he wouldn't sleep so deeply now.
Li Shi came out of the bedroom, thinking about it while eating, it seems that he has to put it away at night.
Kill the original Chinese food for two and continue to read and study.
"Chapter 5 ......"
"We think too much about painting in terms of what we know it belongs to. Think about the human body itself, not how a famous artist drew it, and treat the human body as if it were real muscles and bones......"
After completing the two sketch assignments according to the requirements in the book again, I felt very touched by what he had learned before.
"The sketches in this book are quite different from the systems I learned before, but they are very similar."
He suddenly had a little itchy hands, and he immediately prepared to paint a work seriously.
There is also an object.
It was Chen Qiuye's hand.
He took his sketchbook and pencil case to the master bedroom, sat down on the quilt, and began to observe.
In fact, for this pair of beautiful hands, Li Shi is already familiar with it, and he can't be more familiar with it.
Soon, inspiration was inspired.
This time, he did not "realistically", but also incorporated some things from Chinese painting.
After studying line drawing in Chinese painting for a period of time, his aesthetic recuperation in this area has also improved accordingly.
This time, he didn't draw the line quickly, even slowly, but he drew very leisurely.
It is also very concisely drawn.
So it only took ten minutes to draw.
Li Shi stopped his pen and looked carefully:
I saw that between the clouds and water, there seemed to be a demon dragon haunting.
A pair of slender jade hands reached out from the air, and with the boundless immortal aura, it was firmly caught, no matter how hard it struggled, it was difficult to escape.
Faintly, it seems that you can still hear the fairy covering her mouth and smiling contemptuously.
"It's not good or bad, but this painting expresses what I want to express, well, it feels good, it's just that it seems to be almost something......"
After a few minutes of thinking about it, he picked up the pencil again and wrote beside the drawing:
Andejia raised her hand and smiled at the dragon to cover her lips.
After putting down the pen, Li Shi immediately felt that his body and mind were transparent, and he was extremely comfortable inside and out, and at this moment, there was a sudden touch in his mind, which suddenly surprised Li Shi!
"I've been promoted from (beginner +) to (proficient -)!"
