Winter goes to spring, and the time enters early February.

As the last trace of the residual smell of the New Year in the air gradually dissipated, Gu Weijing stood in the room of the studio, looking out towards the open Yangon River.

The view here is very good, and in the rainy season, when there are no clouds, you can see the primeval jungle and the smoke rising from the jungle beyond the distant city.

Excluding inconvenient traffic and muddy roads, Yangon is a beautiful place.

Few cities are as beautiful as it is, so beautiful and so decayed, and it makes people feel emotionally in the midst of contradictions.

The prosperity of the past is like a fantasy dream of a foreign lord in the colonial era in those old photos, and when he woke up, only a piece of desolation was left.

The tip of the pen in front of Gu Weijing gently pulled out a strip of clear ink on the rice paper with a side edge, as the end of this Yangon ink landscape painting on the bookcase.

[Chinese Painting Techniques: Occupation 1st Order (201/5000)]

[Mood: Simple work]

New hints have been uploaded to the task panel.

Gu Weijing put down the pen, saw that the ink in front of him was not dry, picked up his mobile phone casually, took a photo, found Professor Lin Tao among his friends on WeChat, and sent it over.

"This is the "Yangon Landscape" I just improvised, isn't it a bit of an introduction?"

Gu Weijing typing on his phone.

He had a very busy holiday.

Every weekday, he goes to Shwedagon Pagoda to participate in a mural restoration project, returns home in the evening to complete a fiverr manuscript, and visits the orphanage on the weekends.

However, the harvest is also very full.

Relying on Cao Lao's occasional guidance, the comprehension of color in "Maha Juan's Notes", and his hesitation, he decided to tilt a part of his free experience points on top of Chinese painting techniques.

The three complement each other, and his Chinese painting technique has naturally become the second to break through the bottleneck of semi-professional painting after sketching and reach the level of professional painter.

The reason why he sent a message to Lin Tao.

is because this professor, whether he will be his master or brother, is now the leader of Gu Weijing.

Although Cao Lao admired Gu Weijing.

But a world-class artist naturally doesn't have time to spend all his days on his own beginner experience.

Gu Weijing added the WeChat of Professor Lin Tao and Lao Yang, Cao Lao's assistant, and communicated with Professor Lin Tao at any time if there were any problems with painting.

This "Yangon Landscape" is his first complete ink painting after Chinese painting broke through the first level of professional painting.

He wanted Professor Lin Tao to help him look at his paintings.

……

Yangon's affluent area,

Aman International Hotels.

Professor Lin Tao, who had just attended the celebration reception, returned to the room and leaned on the bed a little sleepily.

The first phase of the Shwedagon Pagoda mural restoration project is nearing completion during this Chinese New Year holiday.

Genuine professionals in the field of conservation and the finishing touches on the conservation of monuments will continue until two years later.

But for those of them who are in charge of painting, they can do almost everything they can, and they can't stay in Yangon all the time.

Great painters like Professor Lin Tao have their own work arrangements.

The ordinary faculty members of the major art academies also need to return to school after the start of the school year, and being able to stay here in Yangon for a month during the Spring Festival is already a busy time.

Many of us want to take a good break in our free time during the last week.

For example, go to the tourist attractions or enjoy the services of the hotel.

Of course, Professor Lin Tao is not short of money, but this kind of free five-star executive suite treatment is not available at any time.

Especially on official business trips.

Dongxia's university funds are quite a lot, but the full professor-level housing standard plus food allowance is only a few hundred yuan, so don't think about living in Aman, Hilton or anything on a daily business trip.

It is only with this kind of international cooperation that Yangon's local tourism department will go to great lengths to entertain these artists.

He picked up the landline on the side and called the concierge at the front desk of the hotel.

At this time, the younger professor will also think about taking a photo on the treadmill of the hotel members' gym, pouring some mineral water on his clothes, and posting a circle of friends to disguise the exquisite and decent petty bourgeois life in Kochi.

When it comes to Lin Tao's status, he no longer cares about what he has or not.

He put the ice jade bracelet he had spent $60,000 on his wife in his suitcase, collapsed comfortably on the bed, and booked a Thai spa.

"Sevadica!"

After a while, a young man wearing a hotel badge and wearing traditional Thai clothes walked in with a cart filled with essential oils and fragrances.

Professor Lin Tao was draped in a bathrobe, and the airpods in the headphones put on his favorite opera, and as soon as he pulled it on the bed, he was hummed and chirped by the young man like rolling noodles on his body.

“…… The king does not surrender, oh, oh, for the sin of the ministers, the Uncle...... Oh, how dare you deceive the Lord, uh, ......"

The spa specialists at Aman are absolutely skilled, the young men are very energetic, and the acupuncture points are also accurate.

Professor Lin Tao is humming and chirping.

I heard a dingdong prompt sound from WeChat.

Generally inconsequential chats, he opened a message do not disturb, and when he heard the WeChat prompt, he raised his head and took a look.

"This is the "Yangon River Landscape Map" that I just improvized, isn't it a bit of an introduction?"

He saw that it was a new message from Gu Weijing.

Entry?

Young man, you still can't hold your breath.

Professor Lin Tao smiled.

His current relationship with Gu Weijing is very delicate.

There is a high probability that the other party will become his apprentice, the probability of becoming his own junior brother...... It is not certain that there is no ...... After all, there are still some people who will be struck by lightning when they walk on the street, anyway, Professor Lin is very unoptimistic.

In any case, Gu Weijing is now half of Cao Xuan's disciple.

Master asked Lin Tao to take the time to point and point at the young man.

What he did was to pass on a set of CAFA open classes to the other party, so he put this matter aside.

It's not that Lin Tao doesn't care about teaching.

It's Chinese painting, which has always been difficult to learn, and even more difficult to master.

Regardless of whether you have talent in oil painting or not, after studying for a while, at least you will be familiar with the process.

Many students who have never been exposed to Chinese painting have been learning for a year and a half - they can't practice the eight basic brushstrokes of pressing, sweeping, hooking, uncovering, resisting, dragging, guiding, and sending.

As for the techniques and artistic conceptions of higher calligraphy and painting, it is complete nonsense.

Although this Gu boy said that his ancestors were court painters, he was also exposed to the family environment of calligraphy and painting since he was a child, so he was not a zero foundation.

But Lin Tao learned about his level of Chinese painting from Gu Tongxiang, and also saw his previous Chinese paintings.

It's probably good among ordinary students, not excellent.

It can't compare with the excellence of the other party's sketching skills, and it can't be compared with his aura talent for Chinese painting paints.

Then he Lin Tao has nothing to teach now.

In the field of Chinese painting,

Is it important to have a good master?

Of course, it is very important, much more important than the teacher of Western painting.

Chinese painting not only emphasizes technique, but also artistic conception.

Of course, Western painting also pays attention to the context.

It can be said that the more modern the art genre, the more emotion is paid to the realistic image and reality of the basic scene.

In this regard, the modern art school coincides with the traditional painting concept of the Eastern Xia.

But at least for professional painters who are more basic in Western painting, oil painting is still a very [real] technique.

Where is the drawing not good - the light and dark light are not adjusted well, or the structural lines are too sloppy. Even if the level is not good, it is easy to know where the problem is.

Basically, any professor at the Academy of Fine Arts is qualified to teach students to paint oil paintings.

No matter how good or bad the teaching is, even if it is a second- or third-rate art academy, it is probably impossible to mislead people's children.

But Chinese painting is different,

At a certain point, there is a world of difference between having a good teacher or not.

A lot of painting structures and ideas, the shade of plum blossoms, the wind bones of bamboo...... The use of the pen is very different, and the final effect is very wrong.

Why are there many painters who really beg their grandfather and grandmother to ask Professor Lin Tao to show him paintings.

Why did Cao Lao want to mention Gu Weijing in two sentences, those big professors licked their old faces and wanted to stay in class.

is because Cao Lao's casual words may allow the other party to break through the heart barrier that has been depressed for a long time.

In many cases, even if you have a relationship with a master, and the other party really takes a serious look at your painting, the conclusions given are very general.

"The painting has no bones", "the brush is obscure", "the flowers are too charming", "the snowy mountains are too cold"......

As for what the fuck is called the peach blossom painting, the painting is too charming, and the snow mountain painting is too cold.

hehe

Go to your own senses.

If you think about it, it's common to improve your painting skills.

I don't understand, it's common for these paragraphs to be three or five years, ten years, or ten years.

The personal attributes of Chinese painting are too strong to be taught in batches.

I really want someone else to teach you and guide you through your mistakes - I'm sorry, but the master is very busy, and this is the treatment that only a personal disciple can do.

This refers to reaching a certain level of technique.

Gu Weijing's previous level of painting Chinese painting was still a novice in Lin Tao's opinion.

There is no such thing as a technique of elevation.

It's like the practice in the old Hong Kong and Taiwan martial arts novels.

The newcomer first learns to step on the horse, step on the plum blossom pile, and the little monk has to carry water for the temple to boil his muscles and bones.

Are there any profound martial arts?

Yes.

But in the matter of teaching others to Zamabu, there is not much difference between the martial artist at the entrance of the village, the guardian in the gate of the mansion, or the top masters like Qiu Chuji, Wang Chongyang, and Zhang Sanfeng.

Lin Tao asked Gu Weijing when he would draw a work that he was satisfied with, and then come to himself for guidance.

I didn't expect it to be only a few days.

This Gu kid felt that he had already started.

Entry?

"It's a child, impatient, and can't hold your breath."

Lin Tao was a little funny.

He will not look down on Gu Weijing, and children want to be encouraged.

There are Cao Lao's closed disciples, which can be regarded as a big pie in the history of modern art, waiting ahead, even if Professor Lin Tao seems to be just the moon in the water and the flower in the mirror.

But it's normal for people to be arrogant and want to behave.

It's just that maybe it's too much.

It is understandable that if he can be appreciated by Cao Lao at this age, Lin Tao is eager to draw an egg and show it to the other party, wanting to leave more impressions on the master.

"Children, even if they don't draw well, they should be encouraged first, and supervision should be supplemented."

He made up his mind, even if Gu Weijing's painting was not good, he hoped that he would pinch his nose and encourage Gu Weijing.

It's just that you should talk to the other party well, and I hope he can be more down-to-earth.

Lin Tao thought, straightened up and climbed on the bed.

While asking the Thai spa technician to step on his waist, he hummed the song of "Double Cast Tang", and opened his mobile phone to load the photo that Gu Weijing had just sent.

“…… Only the Wang Bo Party is left, and now you will come to the Tang Dynasty. Loyalty and righteousness don't talk about it, you are a human face and a beast heart, a human face and a beast heart—oh? ”

Professor Lin Tao opened the photo on his phone and made a nasal sound.

He stared at the picture on the phone for a long time, his mouth slightly open, and the last line of the song was choked in his stomach.

At this time, the technician brother stretched out his foot and stepped on Professor Lin Tao's old waist.

He was stuck in his chest and abdomen in one breath.

"Oh-oh-oh-oh......"

In the executive suite of the Aman Hotel, there is a sound that resembles the crow of a rooster.
