"How's the drawing? Do you want to take a break? ”

The sketch teacher raised his chin and asked casually, the fingers hidden in his pockets kept stretching and stretching.

Art practitioners whose knuckles are worn out badly, or who suffer from tenosynovitis, are about to become common occupational diseases.

Illustrators with a lot of work, I heard that there are also those who have specially practiced their left hand, and they draw left and right bows.

If your left hand hurts, change your right hand, and if your right hand hurts, change your left hand.

Thinking about it is full of blood and tears of hard-working people.

Professor Wattle had a little bit of excessive wear and tear on the second joint of his right index finger and went to the hospital to get a film.

Fortunately, it is not yet arthritis or synovitis, and the effusion is not serious enough to require additional treatment.

Doctors recommend that daily hot compresses and massages are sufficient.

He was engrossed in sketching and sketching at his desk for more than ten minutes. When you draw your own sketches, you pay attention to the lightness of your freehand and imitate the lines of other people's works, which is a hard work.

Do not use force to penetrate the back of the paper.

It is also best to put down the pen accurately and steadily, steadily, thick and smooth, and reproduce the transition lines of other painters on the paper, and reproduce them on the paper.

After a few strokes, Wattel's fingers began to sore a little.

The soreness of the muscles and joints is soreness, and the spirit is still quite pleasant.

True.

High school teachers and even ordinary painters, a little improvement in painting skills may not be able to make more money.

But any art practitioner, as long as there is a little bit of pursuit, will feel happy when he sees himself put pen to paper and paint a better work.

Professor Wattle is so far away from the art center, and is no longer in the golden age of "painting", how difficult it is for a professional painter with a high level and a low level, to improve his skills!

It's been a long, long time since he's felt a visible improvement in the pencil lines of the exercises before and after a piece of work.

Though.

This "visible to the naked eye" has not made much progress.

Critics with better eyes can only make an approximation, approximate, and estimate after some consideration...... Determining the skill of the line may have a small button, and it may even be regarded as a normal fluctuation of the painter's performance.

Converted to the experience value on the system panel, it has increased by more than a dozen points before and after, and the total progress does not exceed 20 points.

But Professor Wattle knew that to improve is to improve.

No matter how small the progress is, it is also solid progress.

"It's so cool!"

Not everyone is Picasso, and he can be divided into six or seven different painting periods in his life, and he can make a breakthrough in painting style in old age.

The age of Wattel, there is no pursuit of ordinary practitioners.

To talk about anything that goes one step further is to liar.

Not to mention that they are not a hundred feet high.

It is not easy to maintain the original length of the ten-foot small bamboo strip, and many people are already sailing against the current as soon as they leave school, and they have reached the decline period of the technique of "not advancing or retreating".

In his later years, Reano switched to portraying the flesh of a clothless girl.

Huddled in his country house, every day he painted all kinds of young ladies who wore clothes and did not wear clothes.

Many critics angrily criticized his painting method as vulgar and boring, from the unique Reano to the second Rubens.

However, there are also sympathetic speculations that this is because the arthritis and gout that became more and more severe in his later years made his ability to control the brush decrease, and his brushwork is no longer enough to support the height of his early years, which is full of delicate short lines.

Even for teenagers like Gu Weijing, whose physical functions are at their peak.

When facing the bottleneck of the last few hundred points of the first order of professional painters, he was also tortured to death, and he painted by the lake for a long time, and there was no movement without giving face to the experience bar.

Now that the momentum is growing against age a little bit, how can you not let Wattle fly up?

He felt the long-lost excitement and pleasure of learning to paint when he was young, as if the time that had passed had begun to flow back to his pen again.

Filled with the desire to find someone to show off, he wandered over.

Watel stood at the door, stretched his curly palm, and then pressed his palm against his hip bone gently, and in the slight soreness, he listened to the small air cavity between the joints of his fingers making a faint and indiscreable pop like holding a handful of soybeans and slowly rubbing and squeezing, so that the finger tendons were fully stretched.

It's a pity, no matter what the calculations are in your mind.

The student who looked for the room said, "I copied your drawing, and my technique has improved all of a sudden!" You drew a good line, and now it's mine. ”

It seems that the scene is a little awkward to think about.

This made Professor Wattel, an old-fashioned German with a dull heart, unable to get full catharsis.

"Fortunately, there has been a significant improvement, and the progress is very fast." Gu Weijing nodded.

"My training method is useful, it's good to improve, this is the essence of my teaching, which is to let every student slowly start to feel the improvement and progress in the accumulated training."

Wattle's praise for Gu Weijing was quite useful.

Nodding vigorously, he thought about it and snorted softly.

Noticeably better?

Oh, young man.

Watercolor exercises are similar to sketching grids, both of which are repetitive ink strokes and droplets, just like getting up in the morning and doing radio gymnastics.

What is the effect of my teaching method, I don't know?

It works, but it also works slowly.

Generally, art students need to practice for at least a month at the beginning, so that they can slowly become familiar with the brush during the flat painting process.

Only by having a general judgment of how the paint spreads and flows between repeated strokes can the fingers gradually stabilize.

After only ten minutes of drawing, he said that he had practiced the doorway, heh, the young man is just a big mouth.

Why can't he go to heaven?

"How dare you attack me with my spell, Potter?" - Gu Weijing uses the painting method created by Professor Wattel himself to talk about the rapid progress.

It's quite humorous.

Although it was a polite and polite compliment, the sketch professor himself blushed a little when he listened to it.

I've just been learning to practice hooking outside, and that kind of progress is called a noticeable improvement, and you can't count it as practicing flat painting here.

"I think it's a good thing to make progress, don't be in a hurry, do a good deed every day, and make a little progress every day."

Wattle walked over and said with a smile, squinting at Gu Weijing.

"This kind of painting method, often practiced, often new, when you have nothing to do, just pick up the pen, pick up the paint and paint two strokes, there is no harm. The more you feel gravity and feel the flow of paint, Mother Earth will open its arms and embrace you. ”

Wattle picked up the paintbrush.

"Come, I'll give you two more strokes to demonstrate, the explanation just now is a bit rushed, you may not be very clear, what is the benchmark for flat painting practice, what kind of brushstrokes to get, can be counted as a good flat painting."

The sketch teacher took the watercolor pen with his right hand, his left hand was still confidently inserted into his pocket, his chin was high, and he motioned for Gu Weijing to step aside and give him the space in front of the workbench.

Hold your breath and bow your head to pick up the pen in a chic manner.

Professor Wattle looked at the nearly finished coloring exercise on the tilted workbench.

The sketch teacher has one hand in his pocket, a pen in the other, and his neck is tilted 45 degrees to the lower right to stare at the drawing board.

Oddly enough.

After five seconds of posing, Wattle put the pen down again without a sound.

"Uh...... Gu, have you ever practiced flat painting before? Professor Vattle turned his head to look at Gu Weijing beside him, glanced at him, looked at him again, and finally turned his whole body around.

It's because I'm familiar with watercolor.

Wattle found it even more incredible.

As soon as the connoisseur makes a move, he will know if there is a coloring of the last third or so of the water covered bridge.

The pen is soft, the pen is light, and the stroke is orderly.

The weight of the whole stroke is just right, not to mention exaggerated to the point of being like a pen drawn with a ruler.

But it's just smooth.

Especially.

Judging from the lower edge of the last stroke, the whole brush stroke is in a smooth straight line, and the entire paint flow is almost the same, which means that the artist's wrist force is also extremely stable.

Flat painting is the most basic painting method in watercolor.

Wattle drew it himself, and it was difficult for such a simple line to improve very significantly in fact.

"No, no, no."

Before Gu Weijing could say anything, Wattle himself had already shaken his head.

Based on his teaching experience, it is clear that Gu Weijing's brushstrokes and lines at the beginning of coloring still have obvious ups and downs and color differences, which is the most common performance on paper for art students who are not skilled enough in watercolor control pens.

And this expression is rapidly improved in the process of the gray-white tone spread out on the paper.

This rate of improvement, even visible to the naked eye, may not be accurately summed up.

It belongs to ordinary people who have never been in contact with it at all, and they will obviously feel that the first half of the covered bridge and the second half are not at all the same as the one painted by the same painter.

It's a bit bizarre.

As everyone knows.

The stage when a person's technique improves most rapidly is often the stage when he has just come into contact with a certain drawing method, and a final paper can make a student with a normal IQ increase from 0 to 10 points, which is very fast.

In some schools, you still have 3 points if you put your name in the right place.

The problem is that Gu Weijing doesn't put a lot of energy into watercolor class, but he is not a watercolor beginner at all. The improvement he shows on paper is not a 90 to 100 points of excellence, but also a qualitative change of 50 to 60 points.

At the beginning.

Gu Weijing is obviously still unfamiliar with the dissolution and diffusion of watercolor paints, and the lines of his pen are tightened. And the last few strokes, free and easy, have reached the level of this coloring practice.

Mr. Wattel originally thought that even if he had talent, it would feel very good to get started.

It takes three weeks to a month of practice to draw to this level.

Now, the changes and evolutions that ordinary people can only have after dozens of days of practice have been condensed into the same piece of paper in front of them.

The sketch teacher felt that the world was really outrageous.

If it weren't for the fact that he had taught Gu Weijing for many years, he would have some understanding of this student, especially since the other party didn't have any reason to do so.

He had to suspect that Gu Weijing came over today to ask for watercolor teachings, and he came to play him specifically!

Wait!

If this is not to play it, it must be......

Is his own way of teaching painting so hanging, but he has not developed its full effectiveness himself?

Wattle's heart trembled at the thought of a possibility.

Could it be that he Wattle could have become a dignified professor of watercolor at the Royal Academy of Art, but he came to a private school like Dulwich and was dusted by the pearl.

"Well, by the way, how did I teach you?"

Professor Sketch recalled all the exchanges and conversations he had with Gu Weijing at noon today, wondering if he had inadvertently uttered a wise saying like "open sesame", which was enough to be recorded in the history of art education, but was inadvertently ignored and forgotten by himself?

Quack –

The fingers pressed too hard against the waist, and the knuckle cartilage made a crunching sound.

Professor Watel was in pain, and hurriedly withdrew his fingers from his pocket, ignoring the pain, and looked at his palm, and then at the drawing board in front of him.

I can't wait to do a set of flat painting exercises immediately.

Is this thing really so good, so effective?

"I didn't specifically practice watercolor flat painting."

Gu Weijing's voice interrupted Wattel's imagination: "However, I have a soft pen foundation, and I think this experience has helped me a lot." ”

"Soft pen bottom?"

Wattle was stunned again.

Chinese painting and Japanese painting are both independent painting routes, and many European universities also offer similar courses, but if they are not art students who are specifically interested in the development of oriental art research.

Normal European and American students are not exposed to similar art theories.

In addition, the concept of calligraphy has not existed in German history at all.

Traditionally, they also used a soft-bristled brush of nylon, but that was only an essential tool for oil painting or watercolor.

Wattle didn't quite understand for a while, what the soft pen base meant.

Gu Weijing thought for a while.

From the drawing tool, he picked out a small chicken pitch pen.

Chicken pitch pen is a kind of watercolor pen, the middle bristle is long, the outer bristle is short, the whole nib is olive-shaped, can be used to pave the color when flat painting, and can also be used to outline details on the background color, the scope of application is quite large.

The only difference between its shape and a brush is that its tip is slightly fatter than a traditional brush.

Other than that, there's no other way around.

A lot of the time.

The picture saves trouble and the chicken distance pen can be completely replaced with each other.

Gu Weijing dipped some paint with a chicken distance pen, casually in the blank space of the watercolor paper, and after a few mention, he sketched a gray-white moon flower, thought about it, and wrote the three words "Gu Weijing" on the side with a line letter.

"Well, teacher, look. That's the soft pen base,"

Gu Weijing showed that what he said was true.

Calligraphy appreciation scorer.

Cao Xuan looked down on Gu Weijing's calligraphy skills very much, and he wanted to have no bones, no body, no muscles, and no tendons, so he called it a ink pig.

Wattle was shocked.

What the hell?

It's like everyone practicing fencing together, just now this guy was still learning to stab and block, and in an instant, he used the tip of the sword to dance out of a standard six-pointed star.
