"Cao Lao said that the level of this painting has not yet reached the threshold of participating in the professional group of the art exhibition."

Professor Lin Tao's reply to WeChat is very level: "Master is generally reluctant to praise people, you can figure out the meaning of the old man yourself." ”

Didn't reach the threshold to participate in the professional group of the art exhibition?

Gu Weijing looked at the new message on his mobile phone and realized the meaning of the little old man's words.

"In other words, we have reached the level of participating in the general student group."

It's about the same as I estimated.

His original foundation was better than that of many students from local art academies.

The lv.4 professional first order on the system panel should be average among professional painters, but it is extremely excellent in the field of art students.

Cao Lao should be very satisfied with his progress.

"Don't be too proud, this is the work of the little sister Tang Ning when she was twenty-two years old, "Hundred Flowers", and it is also the next assignment assigned to you by Cao Lao."

Professor Lin Tao sent a message.

It was a press release on the official website of the International Art Biennale of Magic City a long time ago.

[Tang Ning, a disciple of the Chinese painting master Cao Xuan, won the gold medal of the Magic City International Art Biennale, creating a record of the youngest winner]

This press release from the official media of the magic capital.

The accompanying picture is a girl in her twenties wearing a beige coat, standing between a group of government officials in the magic capital and the old man of the organizing committee.

She held a golden trophy in her hand, Cao Lao, who looked much younger on the left, and a four-foot Chinese painting behind her.

The photo in the press release is not clear, but the link gives the portal to the official sub-album of the art exhibition.

Gu Weijing rummaged for a moment in the album of the same competition, and found the "Hundred Flowers" painted by Tang Ning mentioned in the news at the top of the electronic album.

"It's in ...... Naked showmanship. ”

The first moment Gu Weijing saw the electronic album, he ruled out Ms. Tang Ning, who is now a top female artist in the Mesozoic Era of Eastern Xia, who was awarded the award by relying on the status of Cao Lao's current closed disciple.

The theme of the whole painting is a picture of flowers and trees,

The branches of the trees are full of colorful flowers, colorful and red.

The name of this painting is "Hundred Flowers" - there are not 100 kinds of flowers in the picture, but there are more or less 50 or 60 kinds of flowers.

"It's amazing."

Gu Weijing admired.

The flowers in oil paintings, learning one kind of flowers, in fact, learn everything, at most pay attention to some light and dark changes.

But the flowers in Chinese painting are different.

Daylilies, irises, begonias, magnolias, peonies, morning glory, okra, peach blossoms, narcissus, lilies, wisteria...... There are dozens of different ways to draw them.

Dozens of painting methods and dozens of artistic conceptions on this "Hundred Flowers" are skillfully blooming on the same flower tree.

The orchid draws the vertical and horizontal trend, the plum blossom is arrogant, and the lotus flower is like a hibiscus out of the water...... Gu Weijing is not a master connoisseur of Chinese painting, but at least it can be seen that this has a famous pattern.

Just the different postures of these dozens of flowers are well-deserved to win the gold award.

"Your next assignment is to copy this painting and learn how to draw each flower. The painting itself is an excellent textbook for learning Chinese painting. I'll teach you a technique for drawing flowers every week, starting with orchids. ”

Professor Lin Tao wanted to officially start teaching, but Gu Weijing had no reason to disagree.

"By the way, I have already contacted Senior Sister Tang Ning in the UK, and the insurance company will contact you to confirm the receipt of the goods in the near future."

Gu Weijing was stunned.

He guessed the answer in his heart, and he was still a little incredulous.

"Receiving what?"

"Naturally, it's "Hundred Flowers". To copy is to copy the original. My family runs a gallery, so I don't need to say much about how to maintain my calligraphy and painting works. This painting is just on loan to you, don't break it. ”

Professor Lin Tao's tone between the lines was very flat, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

In the field of painting, a masterpiece of calligraphy and painting is like a set of profound martial arts cheats.

Even if you are a famous painter, you will often copy the works in the museum.

But the museum is full of people, especially the famous paintings, and it is difficult for you to even have time to sit still and admire the crowds, let alone set up an easel to copy in front of you.

A few years ago, there were great artists who wanted to get the convenience of copying the treasure of the National Gallery of Spain, "Gong E".

He traveled from all walks of life, and finally pleaded with the current king of Spain, Felipe VI, to obtain permission to copy for an afternoon.

Now the electronic technology is very developed,

Even so,

There is also a big difference between electronic photos and authentic masterpieces when professional art practitioners copy them.

Ten minutes of viewing the real thing may be better than looking at an electronic picture book for a whole day.

The light and shadow at different angles, the grain texture of the paper, and the feeling of brushstrokes...... The real thing is the real thing, and the photo is the picture.

Painting learning is a very money-burning business, painting tools and paper only account for a small part of the learning cost of art students, and all kinds of copying is the real big head.

Basically, the top private art schools spend a small part of their class time in organizing students to study and copy the original works of masters in major European art museums from the time of secondary school.

Even an international middle school like Gu Weijing and them will open summer camps or winter camps to go to various famous art museums every vacation.

Including hotel air tickets, visas, and local ground transfers, the registration fee is about 8,000 to 10,000 US dollars a month.

For Gu Weijing's family background, it is indeed a little too expensive.

But he didn't expect that he would be lucky enough to copy the true handiwork of the Hundred Flowers Map, and let him hold it in his hand and copy it as much as he wanted.

This is the gold medal work of the Magic City Art Exhibition Biennale.

Although it is not a mature work of the painter Ms. Downing after the age of 30, this painting is worth more than 100,000 dollars.

Being able to teach directly to one's own hands to observe and learn is the supreme trust and love.

"Thank you."

"Thank you, thank you Cao Lao, that's what he meant. Sister Tang Ning is the best painting foundation among our brothers and sisters in our generation. Although I always thought that the bet was just a joke. But if you can draw her in the next few months, not to mention winning an award, maybe you will have a chance to participate in an international art exhibition. ”

……

Forrest Gump once said that life is like a piece of chocolate, you never know what the next piece will taste like.

The care of the elders is like a warm cup of hot cocoa, but there will also be some things that make Gu Weijing feel like he is choking on a piece of in his throat.

His online store has been maliciously reviewed.

Three days ago, Gu Weijing's virtual panel suddenly found that he had an inexplicable bad review.

When I opened the website, I found that the latest order of the Detective Cat online store was a big [BAD] bad review.

This is as glaring as a little ink on a white piece of paper in a flash of praise.

It is not uncommon for a painter's painting to meet with bad reviews from buyers.

After all, art is a very subjective thing.

Everyone has their own eyes, thinking that Picasso is ugly, and there are many people.

But Gu Weijing still has an impression of this guy's order, which is an illustrated avatar of a blue fat man, to be honest, there is no technical content, and there is almost no possibility of a bad drawing.

He originally thought that he had met a guest who wanted to blackmail a white prostitute painter with bad reviews.

This kind of person has always existed,

After the painting, he was nitpicky and wanted to reduce his remuneration, which was done by some difficult guests since the European Middle Ages.

Gu Weijing still has a task to do, and the system's serial tasks require a praise rate of 95%, that is, at most one non-praise in 20 orders.

Seeing that his mission is about to be completed.

He didn't want anything to happen now.

Gu Weijing immediately contacted the buyer, hoping to revise the manuscript for the other party, or give a full refund, the only requirement is that the other party can cancel the bad review.

As a result, Mr. Yes, who had a problem with the original delivery, became very resolute at this time.

A few minutes later, I added a long review to my trading record.

"An expensive piece of shit for three hundred dollars." - That's the title of that order review.

He clicked in and found that the buyer's tone was full of hostility.

He doesn't say exactly what he doesn't paint well, but he compares his drawings with the fat blue man drawn by another online store called "Cheap but not bad."

Blue fat man, to put it bluntly, as long as you can draw circles, you can draw, it's hard to make much difference.

See here.

Gu Weijing made up his mind,

He must have met a peer.
