Chapter Twenty-Three: Painting the Grasshopper

Painter Zhu Li then taught the two children how to draw straight lines and curves with pencils.

How to draw flowers, birds, people, etc. with various types of pencils, if you use pencils to highlight the light and dark parts of the drawing, Xiao Xian'er likes the drawing method of this sketch very much, and feels that she can connect with the small clothes and jewelry she likes to draw, and she is studying very hard, and she uses sketching method in her own small sketchbook in private, drawing her favorite style of small clothes and her own imaginary small clothes and hair jewelry, but she didn't show it to the teacher and anyone.

Lu Shijun and his sister Xian'er exchanged how to draw sketches realistically and three-dimensionally, took an apple and put it on the table, the two of them sketched the apple, highlighting the size and light and dark parts of the apple, and then the two of them took the cone, cube, cylindrical toys to draw sketches, and gradually concluded that drawing sketches should master the proportions and spatial structure of the painted objects, which is the so-called three-dimensional concept, the painter Zhu Li saw that the two students were still quite talented in sketching, so he carefully told them about it, when painting the light and dark parts of these objects, According to the difference between the virtual and the real and the strength of the light, there are various angles to draw different light and shade, and then they are trained to perceive by feeling, the training of eyesight comparison with each other, and the training of observation accuracy, gradually Lu Xian'er and Lu Shijun's three-dimensional thinking about painted objects is somewhat clear, with the improvement of eyesight, the two can also accurately find the source of light of strength and weakness, and the senses are also a little three-dimensional, unlike the previous one-sided lying down when seeing things, now seeing things is plump and three-dimensional, Xiao Xian'er is very grateful for the teacher's serious teaching, and quietly took the painter Zhu Li as a model, and painted a portrait of the teacher, the painting is very realistic, Xiao Xian'er thought that her little action teacher didn't know, but she didn't know that the teacher was already watching her painting not far from her, and when she finished painting, the painter Zhu Li stood aside and commented that this sketch was very good, if the hair was more dense, the expression on the face was softer, and the little fairy was caught and looked at the teacher a little shyly, and was busy pressing the teacher's instructions, The expression on the face of the teacher's portrait was painted more delicately and softly, the whole face looked younger, and the hair of the portrait was painted more densely, but when the hair was drawn, Xiao Xian'er looked at the baldness on the teacher's head a few more times.

Painter Zhu Li said with a smile

"It's me who painted this picture, can Xian'er give me this painting", Xiao Xian'er nodded shyly, her big jewel-like eyes flashed with excitement and bright luster, and the painter Zhu Li took the painting to his eyes and looked at it carefully, and he couldn't put it down.

In the evening, the painter Zhu Li returned to his daughter's house, his face was full of smiles, and his daughter Zhu Yuerong asked with a smile when she saw her father so happy

"Something good has happened", the painter Zhu Li's hand held a scrolled painting, seeing his daughter asking, he opened the painting in his hand to show his daughter, Zhu Yuerong saw that the painting turned out to be a portrait of her father drawn with a pencil, and said with a smile

"Isn't this the father of the painting, the painting is quite similar", the painter Zhu Li said with a smile and a little proud

"This painting was painted by Xian'er",

"Ah" Zhu Yuerong looked at her father in surprise, and the painter Zhu Li said

"Although this painting is a little immature, it is already very good," Zhu Yuerong said with a shocked face

"Is this a painting painted by a four- or five-year-old child, I can't believe it", the painter Zhu Li didn't feel strange at all when he saw his daughter's reaction, Lu Xian'er, this little girl is really a little genius, if you let your old friends know that Lu Xian'er is not rushing to ask for this talent, she may have to break her head, thinking of these painters laughed happily.

In the study, his brother Lu Shijun took a bamboo gnat and put it in front of his sister.

"Sister will play with you, don't draw anymore", Xian'er's eyes lit up

"This green gnats are very lightweight, it's so beautiful, who made it up brother", brother Lu Shijun said with a smile

"The old Grandpa Qian in the town made it up, Grandpa Qian will make up a lot of such gadgets It's very interesting, what does Xian'er like, I'll ask Grandpa Qian to help you make it up"

"Brother, you are so good", Lu Shijun was very happy to hear his sister's praise, with a bright smile on his face, and secretly thought in his heart to find Grandpa Qian, make up more fun for his sister, and make his sister happier.

At this time, the painter Zhu Li walked into the study, and the two children shouted in unison

"Hello teacher", the painter Zhu Li nodded in agreement, looked at the green bamboo grasshopper, picked it up and said

"It's really good",

"Shijun Xian'er, you will draw this gnats today. Draw a pair of gnats in the way I teach them," the two children nodded in agreement.

The two children carefully studied and observed the green grasshopper, and then each drew it with automatic strokes, and the elder brother Lu Shijun sketched two grasshoppers in different directions with a pencil, and then drew a green grasshopper with green watercolor.

Lu Xian'er used ink to draw a grasshopper, painted a green grasshopper with green watercolor, and sketched a grasshopper with a pencil, and the painter Zhu Li carefully looked at the drawings made by the two children with different brushes.

Lu Shijun's sketch brush is obviously rough and heavy, and the painted gnats are a bit dull, but it's okay.

The lines of the grasshopper sketched by Xian'er are detailed, although it is a little immature, but the grasshopper is very smart.

The watercolor painting of the elder brother Lu Shijun's green gnat, but it also has a sense of interest.

Painter Zhu Li pointed to Lu Shijun,

"The lines of the grasshopper should be lighter and darker, and the green shades of the grasshopper should be more diversified, so that the grasshopper in the painting will be more vivid."

Lu Shijun listened to what the painter said, and then went to paint the grasshopper with a watercolor pen, the painter Zhu Li looked at the watercolor grasshopper painted by Xian'er, his eyes were full of smiles, the watercolor painting of the green grasshopper is emerald green, but the bottom of the grasshopper is used in light green and light green colors, which distinguishes the shade of the grasshopper, especially in the eyes of the grasshopper, Xian'er dotted the black and green eyeballs, and suddenly the grasshopper looks particularly smart and interesting, and it seems to have a sense of vitality.

It can be seen that the color of the fairy is particularly good, especially the ink painting of the grasshopper, but also the ink picture dyeing the shade of the layer, the painter Zhu Li's heart is very happy, although the children's lines are not finely drawn, but at a glance it is very serious, serious children are really liked, the painter Zhu Li remembered that his friend received the student naughty, not obedient, and the learning attitude is not serious, so that friends often complain, from time to time to spit out with Zhu Li, but helplessly friends are entrusted by others to hinder the face has been about to be, Look at these two students who are smart and studious and serious, the more they look, the more satisfied they are, and they are happy.

Lu Xian'er's painting of this ink painting is a very good painting, the painter Zhu Li kindly touched the little fairy's head with his hand and said

"The painting is good", casually dipped the brush in ink next to the grasshopper, drew a few bushes of flowers and plants, and said to the fairy

"Isn't this more interesting", the little fairy opened her big bright eyes, smiled with a cute pink face, and her two eyes smiled like a crescent moon, looking at the flowers and plants painted in ink, her eyes shining brightly

"Teacher, this flower and grass is painted next to the grasshopper, and the grasshoppers look like they are alive, I like it so much, why can't I think of it, and I can still paint like this."

The painter Zhu Li smiled and touched the small bud on the little fairy's head and said

"The safflower must also be lined with green leaves, it is not interesting for a thing to be bare, add a little embellishment with life, is it more beautiful", the fairy's jewel-like eyes glowed brightly, and her face smiled sweetly

"The teacher is so good-looking", Zhu Li laughed as amused

"Are you talking about the teacher looking good, or the painting is good-looking"

"It's all good-looking" Xian'er said with a sweet and happy expression, and the painter Zhu Li was even more happy, feeling that Xian'er was about to become her own pistachio.

"Brother, look at painting a few bushes of flowers and plants here, isn't the grasshopper more beautiful", Xiao Xian'er said and dipped the brush in watercolor and added two bushes of orchids to the green grasshopper painted by her brother.

"Hey, sister, this orchid grass is painted next to the grasshopper, the grasshopper is really much better-looking" Brother Lu Shijun said in surprise, Xian'er smiled happily.

Although the simple addition of a few flowers and plants made the whole painting really different, the two children began to study how to add flowers and plants and other things to the painting, as if they had discovered something wonderful.

Painter Zhu Li smiled and watched the two children seriously study painting skills, and the two children added other embellishments to the painting, which made it seem that the gnats were also very interesting.

The painter Zhu Li asked the two to continue painting, and then went out to turn, and saw Lu Yunsheng on the recliner in the courtyard leisurely listening to the commentary, so he walked over, Lu Yunsheng saw the painter Zhu Li coming, sat up on the chaise longue busily, asked him to sit on the chair next to him, and asked the painter if there was anything wrong, Zhu Li shook his head and smiled and said that there was nothing wrong,

"The two kids are practicing, so I'll come out and go around",

"Brother Lu's courtyard is really good, your Zhuhua Town is also good, the scenery is beautiful and eye-catching, and the air is much better than where I live," Lu Yunsheng said with a smile

"You are a big city, how can it be compared with the township, you don't see that people are crowded now and have to enter the big city", the painter Zhu Li sighed

"The city is too polluted, except that the cement building is a man-made landscape, which is not good at all, how can it compare to this natural scenery", the two said for a while.

Then the painter Zhu Li praised the two children again, especially the little fairy like a little fairy, Lu Yunsheng was happy in his heart, but he politely said that he had won the award, and the two exchanged pleasantries for a while.

The painter Zhu Li got up and went back to the studio, came back and looked at the picture of the grasshopper drawn by the two children, and said with a smile

"Yes, yes, you know that painting is not an immutable copy, painting is also alive, so that it is more flexible and interesting," he paused, and then said

"You have painted a lot of paintings of grasshoppers today, do you have any experience", Lu Shijun said with a handsome face

"Teacher, I feel that the different colors, the drawings also have their own characteristics, and add some embellishments, the painting will look better", the painter Zhu Li nodded and praised Lu Shijun for his progress, and then looked at the little fairy, the fairy's big watery eyes, looking at the teacher with a jewel-like luster, made Zhu Li's heart feel very cute, and the fairy said softly and glutinously

"Teacher, I think the same thing that my brother said, and the pictures drawn from different angles are different, and everything looks good when drawn, as if it has life."

The painter looked at Xiao Xian'er in surprise, this child is really too smart, nodded with a smile and said

"I asked you to draw grasshoppers, just to let you carefully observe every flower and plant around you, and the characters can be painted at any time to practice the brush, especially the characters we have to observe carefully, in order to draw more realistic", the two children listened to the painter's words and nodded seriously, the next few days, in the painter Zhu Li's little by little guidance, the two children saw everything carefully observed, and even used the pen to sketch people, sparrows, flowers and plants, butterflies and bees, etc. The two children exchanged their experiences with each other.

Everyone in the Lu family has become the person in their painting, with different decorations and different hairstyles, and the two children are laughing happily.

It's a little overcast outside, it's not the day when the painter teaches classes, but the children are still working hard in the study, Shen Xinlan pulled her husband Lu Yingcheng and said that she wanted to see her daughter and son paint, Lu Yingcheng saw that it was cloudy and there was nothing to do, and when she saw that his wife was so interested, he stood up, and the two walked towards the study.

In the study, Lu Yingcheng and Shen Xinlan saw that the children were concentrating on painting, the two did not say anything, and walked gently and quietly to Xiao Xian'er's painting, Xiao Xian'er seemed to be startled when she saw them, and immediately hid the painting in a panic, a little weakly smiled Mimi's smile, her eyes flashed with unnatural starlight, Lu Yingcheng and Shen Xinlan glanced at each other, and then Shen Xinlan asked with a smile

"What is Xian'er hiding? We've all seen it," Lu Xian'er said busily while hiding the painting

"I didn't hide anything", but the little face smiled secretly, like a little fox stealing food, which made people want to laugh when they saw it, Abba Lu Yingcheng smiled and said I saw it all.

Lu Yingcheng and Shen Xinlan didn't really want to see what their daughter Xian'er was drawing, but when they saw their little daughter's snickering movements, like a little fox stealing food, they couldn't help but make the two of them very curious, the two glanced at each other, grabbed Xian'er's arm together, reached out and took out the painting she was hiding, and opened Xiao Xian'er's painting, Xiao Xian'er took a step back when she couldn't fight, Abba Lu Yingcheng looked at the painting carefully, and saw a man and a woman painted on it, But the peculiar thing is that the man actually drew two small pigtails on the back of his head, and there was a red umbrella above his head; The woman's mouth was painted with a big beard, but she was holding a long knife in her hand, and the corners of her mouth instantly rose with a smile

"You little girl, now it's funny", her eyes were suddenly stunned, and she found that the color and style of the clothes on this man's body, and why are the clothes on the woman's body so familiar?

In a blink of an eye, I saw my wife Shen Xinlan, and saw that the clothes on her body were exactly the same as the clothes of the woman in Xian'er's painting, and then saw that the color and style of the clothes on her body were the same as the man's in the painting, and then looked carefully at the man's face in the painting was quite similar to herself, the smile on her face froze, Shen Xinlan was looking at her husband and daughter with a smile,
