Chapter 187: Standing on the Shoulders of Giants
It's been a few years since he graduated from college, and he's completely thought about going to graduate school.
Suddenly, my heart moved, thoughtful.
If you choose to study art, it will be used as a project for the impact grandmaster......
Li Shi clicked on the input box, his fingers flew like flying, and he typed and asked, "Teacher Gao, can I also be admitted to the graduate school of Fine Arts across majors?" β
As soon as he asked, Gao Mei's news kept coming back.
"Of course, I used to know a graduate student when I was in school, and she majored in English as an undergraduate."
"But it's very difficult, not only do you have to pass the initial exam, but you also have to impress the interview tutor with the business class during the re-exam."
"In art colleges, the graduate school entrance examination actually relies more on tutors...... In order to successfully pass the re-examination, after all, the scoring of the examination papers of art majors is subjective, especially for relatively low institutions...... As far as I know, teachers generally admit their own top students first> their own students> top students > students. β
"If you really have this idea, I would suggest that you choose the best school to prepare for the exam, because the better the school, the fairer the exam, and the less discrimination there will be, mainly based on test scores and professional ability."
"Seriously, if you prepare for two years, if you can pass the preliminary examination and enter the second examination, I think there should be a chance! After all, you've only been studying for a long time now to be able to draw something like this...... Copying and modeling ability are still aside, the key is that in your two paintings, I see the 'aura', and even my Guo Ying admires your talent. β
Li Shi looked at Gao Mei's constant messages, and was a little embarrassed to be praised by her.
"It seems that Mr. Gao really thought about mobilizing himself to go to graduate school."
It's just that her talent in painting is really as high as she said?
After thinking calmly and rationally, Li Shi felt that he did have a good talent in painting, which stemmed from his superhuman physique, which made his memory better, his hands more stable, and his perception ability stronger...... But that's all, half of the credit for such a rapid progress is actually due to my own efforts.
In the past month or so, in addition to going to the studio for six hours during the day, I would continue to study on my own when I got home, often going to bed until two or three o'clock in the morning, and getting up at six o'clock the next morning to continue studying for two or three hours before going to class.
One day for oneself is five days for others to learn!
As for Mr. Gao's statement that he saw his "aura" in painting in these two paintings, it should come from the aesthetic accumulation of female portraits when he was studying photography.
When I paint, I feel it is obvious that I am more inspired to paint women with good facial features and outstanding temperament than when I paint other objects.
Li Shi thought for a moment and replied: "The graduate school entrance examination is too far away from me, and painting is just a hobby (smiley face)." β
Gao Mei: "Alas, yes, even if you are highly talented, the time to learn painting is still too short, and if you want to achieve the same academic ability as a bachelor's degree, you must prepare wholeheartedly for two years, and in these two years, you may not be able to do anything else...... Forget it, you're not bad for money, and it's good as a hobby. (ε²tooth)"
Li Shi replied with a smile: "Yes." β
In my heart, I wrote down the matter of "postgraduate entrance examination".
In the future, no matter what knowledge or skills you choose to learn to impact the grandmaster, after reaching (mastery-), the postgraduate entrance examination is one of the means to continue your studies.
Next, Gao Mei sorted out and edited the comments after her discussion with Guo Ying and sent them over.
A large section of reviews, very detailed, and a bunch of pros and cons have been said.
After Li Shi finished reading it, he compared the two paintings again, and suddenly felt a sense of abruptness.
Paintings that I used to think had "nowhere to modify" seem to have a few "flaws" out of thin air.
"Sure enough, it's a bystander, as said in the comments, my handling of the boundary between light and dark can indeed be more delicate, and it would be better to have more changes......"
"Basics! Although my basic skills are good now, they are not enough! β
After thinking about it for a while, Li Shi scratched the back of his head and sent another WeChat message to Gao Mei: "Teacher Gao, if I want to continue to strengthen my basic skills, how should I practice?" β
Gao Mei's side, originally thought that today's guidance was over, she put down her mobile phone and was pestering the sleepy Guo Ying.
Guo Ying squinted at his girlfriend who hinted to him with his hand that he would pay public food, and complained bitterly.
When he saw Gao Mei's work status before, he thought that she didn't have that kind of idea tonight, so when she was communicating with Li Shi, he found an excuse to go to the public bathroom in the living room to take a bath, and then watched a small video for more than ten minutes...... Unexpectedly, as soon as Gao Mei put down her phone, she was actually interested.
Just as Guo Ying gritted her teeth and decided to sacrifice her life...... Gao Mei's phone rang again.
She slapped her boyfriend's thigh hard, glanced at him, and then picked up the phone, and after reading Li Shi's question, she thought for a moment and began to type and reply.
Seeing this, Guo Ying hurriedly said: "I suddenly have a little inspiration, go over there to create, don't wait for me, sleep first." β
After saying that, he got up and walked out of the bedroom.
Gao Mei was typing, while looking at the back of her boyfriend going out, the corners of her mouth tugged, and after replying to Li Shi's message, she opened the Jingdong app and bought five catties of good wolfberries.
After Li Shi received the information, he hurriedly read it carefully.
"Of course, it's still copying famous masterpieces, but it's different from your previous way of copying relying on the gourd to draw a scoop, that way is equivalent to copying the results directly when doing the problem, and now you have a certain level, this way of copying the results doesn't have a big effect on you, you need to push the essence."
"Before copying, think about why the original author composed the picture so much, why the light and shadow played so well, what principles it conformed to, and the reasoning of color...... In short, it is necessary to clarify the purpose of copying in advance, for example, to observe and study how the original author dealt with the boundary between light and dark, and to seriously experience it with questions when copying. β
β¦β¦
The reason is very simple, Li Shi understood it at a glance, and immediately replied "Thank you, Mr. Gao", and found the ultra-clear atlas of the sketches of famous artists from the tablet, and began to train in sex.
Because he was alone, he didn't suppress his hand speed when he trained.
But because the way of copying has changed, the speed is much slower than before.
In the past, some uncomplicated works usually only took ten minutes to copy, but this time, he first thought about the problem for more than 20 minutes, and then put down the pen, and slowly realized it when copying, and it was another 20 minutes, and a work was copied for 40 or 50 minutes, and the long one was more than a small one.
But in this training, every time he copied a painting, he could clearly feel his progress!
This feeling brought Li Shi a great sense of accomplishment, which made him enjoy it very much, immersed in it, and forgot the time for a while.
One, two, three......
It wasn't until the sky outside the window turned from black to white and the light in the room changed that Li Shi suddenly came back to his senses, and when he looked at the time, it was already 4:55 in the morning.
"This feeling is so refreshing, it's like staying up late to chase "Panlong" in my freshman year, and I feel that before I watched it for a while, the sky was bright...... Alas, at that time, I had just gotten out of high school, and my mother was not sick yet, so it was the most worry-free time before I got the study panel. β
Li Shi smiled with a little emotion and flipped through the sketchbook.
"I only copied six sheets in one night, which is extremely slow for me, but the harvest is greater than the 60 copies I copied before!"
He summoned the study panel, stared at it, and vaguely felt that the sketch he was learning was not far from being upgraded to (proficient).
"I am standing on the shoulders of giants, absorbing useful nutrients from the works of various famous artists, so as to strengthen and develop myself."
"I feel like if I copy seven or eight more with problems, I can upgrade!"
Li Shi put down his sketchbook, set the alarm clock for an hour, went to bed for a while, woke up at 6:10, and copied a painting of "Ayiguli" by the painter He Yu, went to the hotel restaurant at 7 o'clock to have breakfast, and continued to copy after returning.
At eight o'clock, he called Lu Congwei.
The phone rang for a while before it was connected: "Brother, you wait first, I still have something to do here, and I will give you back later." β
This time it was Lu Congwei himself who answered the phone, but he only said one sentence and hung up the phone again.
Li Shi shook his head with a smile, and when he was copying the third painting of the morning at eight o'clock, Lu Congwei's call came back.
Lu Congwei got straight to the point and said with a smile: "Brother, I'm sorry, brother, I met a girl who has a lot of eyes, and I decided to accompany her today, I can't go to sea on the yacht." β
What else can Li Shi say, and he didn't care if he went to sea on a yacht to play, he didn't go this time, it would be good to go next time, as long as he has money, he can go whatever he wants in the future, and said with a smile: "It's okay, brother, you take it easy, after all, the age is here, make sure you are in good health." β
After a few jokes, he hung up the phone.
After a while, Chen Yao called him and asked him if he would go to the public venue.
Today is the last day, and the bidding will be opened tomorrow, but the stones in the venue have been seen almost two days ago, and he has no intention of bidding, and it is useless to go, so he said that he will not go today.
All morning, Li Shi stayed in the hotel to do master copying training.
For him, this way of training works too well.
At 11:50 p.m., Li Shi copied a portrait of an old man who was famous to the painter Zhao Chengming, put down his pen, and called out the learning panel again-
"We're just one step away from escalating."
This time, the faint feeling from the panel was clearer, and Li Shi's spirit was lifted!
However, he quickly calmed down again.
"This poor line is not something that can be broken through by copying, it needs to be created!"
"Copying is the basic skill, and creation is to bring these progress into play!"
Li Shi got up, stretched, and was about to go out to forage for food, and at the same time see if he could find some creative inspiration.
I went into the bathroom and washed my hands, went out with my room card, and came to the hall on the first floor.
"Brother, 100,000 urgent, do my brother a favor!"
