Chapter seven hundred and sixty-six cheap sale Hai Zhang five
Clay figurine Zhang's method of selecting clay and practicing clay must have some reference significance for Chen Wenzhe.
The most important thing is the kneading process. Of course, Chen Wenzhe also wants to see the final firing.
Chen Wenzhe is pretty good at all the skills of selecting clay, practicing clay, clay sculpture, painting and kiln firing.
However, a stone from another mountain can attack jade, not to mention that this stone from another mountain is still a piece of jade.
Soon, Chen Wenzhe settled on a clay figurine with the best craftsmanship.
After the "clay figures" are completely dried, they are fired in a kiln at a temperature of about 700°C.
After leaving the kiln, it can be colored after polishing and finishing.
The color used in painted sculptures has made great progress compared to the past.
In the past, the pigments were water-pink, had poor coverage, were prone to bursting, falling off, fading, and could not be stored for a long time.
With the development of technology, acrylic colors are now used, although they are more expensive, but they have many advantages.
This new material has strong covering power, does not burst, fall off, fade easily, and is insoluble in water after drying, so it can be washed with water.
A complete work usually takes about 30 days to complete.
Why should I be afraid of professionalism? Chen Wenzhe came to his senses and could only sigh.
There are too many various inheritances in the country. Let’s just talk about the inheritance of clay figurine Zhang. It can be said that playing with mud has turned it into the top art work. This is Niubi!
I just took a brief look and found that Chen Wenzhe had gained a lot.
Clay sculptures are sometimes more difficult to burn than porcelain sculptures.
This all depends on Mud. If you can't play well with Mud, you won't be able to accomplish anything.
Therefore, he is truly a master of playing in the mud.
This is the first time that Chen Wenzhe admits that he can't play with others when playing in the mud!
The most basic one is to choose clay and practice clay, and you will really get good at playing and reach the realm of playing.
After learning something from others, naturally you can’t do it in vain.
After taking a look, Chen Wenzhe saw in front of him a seated statue of a wealthy man who looked like an ancient member of the imperial family. Chen Wenzhe planned to buy it.
This statue was probably made by a junior member of the Zhang family. The workmanship is not bad, so the price is 8,000.
The market price is 8,000 yuan, and the ex-factory price is only 4,000 to 5,000 yuan. Young people with this kind of craftsmanship are considered experts among the younger generation.
Such a master's work, if you buy it and collect it, it shouldn't be bad.
When you come to an antique stall, naturally you can't just sell modern art.
Besides, it is impossible for other stall owners to make money only by relying on modern art. With such a clear price tag, they cannot make a lot of money.
Therefore, those who can come to this antique market to set up stalls naturally have some old things.
The clay figurines in this stall are no exception. In addition to the painted sculptures that are obviously new, there are also many old things that look more historical.
Chen Wenzhe understood the allusions of these old things at a glance, like a man watching a goose and a child holding a goose. This must be Xi Zhi's love for geese.
There is also a beautiful woman who is very heroic. She seems to be Mulan who is in the army.
The others are all beautiful women, probably characters from Dream of Red Mansions.
There are also some characters wearing ancient costumes, and each has its own unique charm.
Each of these clay figurine painted sculptures is lifelike, which seems to be the characteristic of Clay Figurine Zhang.
If I have to say it has any shortcomings, it would be an eye-opener.
The opening of the eyes of these classic works by Clay Figurine Zhang is definitely not as good as the finishing touches of Chen Wenzhe, and the eyes look a bit small!
Chen Wenzhe has finally found some confidence, he is still a bit awesome!
These clay figurines are all alive and are handicrafts, and they all look a bit cute!
So, no matter which one you buy, it’s okay.
Old things, or things from the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, will naturally not be cheap.
A brief inquiry with Chen Wenzhe revealed that the price of these clay figurines is seven to eight thousand.
Slightly better ones, such as Xizhi Loves the Goose and Mulan Joins the Army, which Chen Wenzhe just pointed out, cost more than 30,000 yuan. Because there are several characters, the price is naturally high.
Unfortunately, I don’t know who made these. He didn’t even see the inheritance of clay figurine Zhang.
However, the things are old, at least hundreds of years old.
Old things are not necessarily good things!
I don’t know whether the old people have become bad or the bad people have become old. There are more and more old people like this.
Chen Wenzhe doesn't want these fish and dragons mixed together. He wants dragons, not fish!
Choosing one by one carefully is too professional and not very good. For example, right now, he is dazzled by the selection.
If you were an ordinary person, you would have been dazzled by it for a long time. Where can you pick out some exquisite products?
"Huh? This character is a bit realistic!"
Suddenly, Chen Wenzhe discovered an interesting clay figurine sculpture.
This clay figure sculpture is relatively simple in shape, but its expression is extremely expressive. Looking at the technique, it is no less impressive than his finishing touches.
Chen Wenzhe mainly uses a pair of eyes to reveal the character's demeanor, personality, expression, etc.
But in this case, his personality is clearly revealed through the character's overall image and actions.
A scoop-shaped head, small bulging eyes, and an arrogant face.
But no matter how much I looked at him, I never saw that this person seemed arrogant.
Seeing this guy with bared teeth and claws, an allusion suddenly popped up in Chen Wenzhe's mind.
The most indispensable thing in the antique city is all kinds of stories. It turns out that the stall owners here will tell a story to almost every customer they see.
The story about the clay figurine Zhang is not simple. It has become an allusion, and it seems to have been included in middle school textbooks, right?
Selling Hai Zhang Wu at a low price seems to be such a story.
This story about the clay figurine Zhang was included in the second volume of the eighth-grade Chinese textbook published by the People's Education Press. Chen Wenzhe must have remembered this correctly.
For those who are skilled in craftsmanship, "Clay Figure Zhang" ranks first in making clay figures.
Moreover, there is a first place, but there is no second place, and the third place is a thousand miles away.
The clay figurine Zhang’s name is Zhang Mingshan, and he often visited two places during the Xianfeng period.
One is the theater Daguanlou in the northeast corner, and the other is the restaurant Tianqingguan at Beiguankou.
Sitting there, I wanted to look at all kinds of people and pinch all kinds of people.
Go to Daguan Tower to see various characters on the stage, and go to Tianqing Pavilion to see various characters in the human world.
There are more of the latter kind, and Chen Wenzhe can memorize these storylines as soon as he thinks about them.
One of the protagonists of the story is Hai Zhangwu. He thinks he is a character, very arrogant, and looks down on clay figurines.
After hearing what he said, the clay figurine Zhang stood under the table and dug out a piece of mud from the sole of his shoe.
I started playing with the ball of mud, quickly squeezing it with my fingers, and soon the work appeared.
He pinched out Hai Zhangwu's head, as if it had been cut off and placed on the table.
With his gourd-like head, small bulging eyes, and a mad face, he looks more like Hai Wu than Zhang Wu.
However, it is only the size of a walnut.
Hai Zhangwu was over there, and from two feet away, he could tell that it was him who was being pinched.
"You want to make money with this crappy craft? No one wants it even if it's sold at a low price."
