On the morning of the next day, Fang Yi drove towards the museum. When he arrived at the entrance, he called Nick. Although he had come here often before, the gatekeeper had not forgotten Fang Yi's appearance, but without a pass, Fang Yi had to wait at the entrance.
Stay and wait for Nick to come and pick you up.
Standing next to the car, waiting for Nick to come over, Fang Yi opened his mouth and asked: "How much damage is the painting?".
Nick showed the pass in his hand to the gatekeeper, and then said to Fang Yi: "The area was very large, about one-fifth of the area was damaged!".
After taking the pass, Fang Yi pinned it on his jacket pocket and walked in side by side with Nick.
When he arrived at Nick's studio, Fang Yi directly saw a work on the workbench. When he picked it up and took a look, he knew that it was indeed Ingres's work. It was also a work by Ingres at his peak.
The most famous work of the female body, the young woman on the picture has just stepped out of the bath, but now the bath and a large area of the floor tiles under the canvas have turned into a dark color, and it is basically impossible to tell what it looks like.
Some vague line outlines can be seen.
"How come it's damaged like this!" After carefully examining the work for five or six minutes, Fang Yi asked Nick with a bit of regret. Angel's later years were full of flowers and glory, unlike the hard-working artist.
, his life was quite comfortable and he enjoyed a supreme status in the art world at that time.
According to Chang Li, his works should not be destroyed like this! Because he was a master when he was alive. His works should be well preserved.
"The original owner had no idea that the painting hanging behind the sofa in his home was by Ingres. He just thought it was an ordinary realistic work of the human body! He took it down when he was redecorating and threw it upstairs.
He put it in the storage room, and what happened next was like this. When the original owner was sorting out his old stuff, he put it up for sale, and the fifteen euros went into the hands of someone who noticed something was wrong. He bought it and brought it to us for appraisal.
That’s when it was finalized!” Nick said with regret as he looked at the work.
Nick was not envious of someone who bought an authentic work for only fifteen euros, but was sad that such a good work had been ruined like this. Fang Yi also felt the same way. For a master's work that he liked and had a bit of admiration for, in his own
It's so sad to see things like this before my eyes!
"Have you decided on the restoration plan?" Fang Yi asked, looking at some color sketches placed on the workbench. There are some matching color sketches on the workbench now, regarding the color of the floor tiles and the bottom edge of the bathtub.
color matching scheme.
"This is the plan I thought of!" Nick picked up the third plan. Fang Yi shook his head after looking at it. The bottom line in the color matching was not correct, and the color of the floor tiles was also off. Nick was too obsessed with color.
Matched.
Fang Yi suddenly pointed out a lot of problems to others in his mind without thinking about it. As soon as he saw the work, he automatically added the original color, but Nick's mind didn't think about it.
With this thing, only a small piece of the bottom line pattern under the bath can be seen. And it is gray. Who can guess this thing!
"This is the plan we decided on!" Nick pointed to the restoration plan on the top of the table and said to Fang Yi: "I think this color combination is the most perfect we can think of!".
Looking at the plan that Nick pointed out, Fang Yi began to get confused. The difference from the original work in his mind was that the color was too off. It was not as good as Nick's own plan that he just saw.
Thinking that such colors would be applied to this painting from Ingres' peak period, Fang Yi felt uncomfortable in his heart.
Do you want to remind Nick? It’s just a reminder, so how should I remind him? After turning around, Fang Yi walked to another glass box placed on the wall, stretched his head and took a look, and said without thinking:
"Who sent another forgery of Rubens?".
"Why is it a forgery?" Nick was stunned after hearing this. He ran to Fang Yi's side and looked at the sketch of a lion painted by Rubens in the glass frame and asked.
After being stunned for a moment, Fang Yi finally realized that he knew. Nick still doesn’t know that this work is a fake! His uncle accidentally made another mistake! Fang Yi wants to slap himself in the face to make you talk too much!
Nick looked at Fang Yi without saying a word and continued to ask: "How can you tell it's a forgery? I see something wrong but I can't find the problem! Comparing it to the Namien lion painted by Rubens, the technique is not that big.
There is a difference, why can you tell it is fake at a glance?".
Fang Yi scratched his head, thought for a moment, pointed to the lion's fur and a small tuft of hair on its tail and said: "There are some lines on the mane that look redundant! And the distance from the bridge of the nose to the eyes is densely red.
The lines are a little denser!" Fang Yi's sketching is now at the master level. Even if he is not at the master level, if Fang Yi is left to draw by himself, he will not draw these useless lines on it.
, this is superfluous!
After listening to Fang Yi's words, Nick put on his gloves and opened the lid of the glass box, took the sketch paper in his hand, looked at it carefully with a magnifying glass for a while, then raised his head and glanced at Fang Yi, and continued to look at it.
I got up and looked at the two places for almost five or six minutes before I put down the paper and said, "It is indeed a fake! The lines in these two places are a bit stiff!".
After putting down the paper, Nick said to Fang Yi: "You are really talented!"
"It's too late!" Fang Yi opened his mouth and said. Looking at Nick's look, he thought about running to the museum to repair the paintings. He quickly said: "I don't have time to stay in a studio like this!". Now.
A painting costs more than 200,000 yuan. You want me to go to the studio to repair the paintings, earn a middle-class salary, and come to check in every day? You can't imagine that!
In order to prevent Nick from saying anything else, Fang Yi turned to Angel's picture of a woman taking a bath, holding her chin and admiring it carefully. While admiring it, she was struggling in her heart, thinking that Nick had confused what he had studied.
This masterpiece makes me feel sick to my stomach.
In the end, I couldn't help but watch them destroying Master Angel's peak work, so I opened my mouth and said, "I also came up with a plan, and I'll draw it for you to evaluate!".
Nick nodded and pointed to the easel next to him and the oil painting board not far away.
Fang Yi directly took the oil painting board, borrowed Nick's palette and began to enter Angel's soul chain, using a 90% similarity, and started painting directly on the oil painting board.
Naturally, I spent time in the museum at noon, trying to use classical techniques in such a small amount of time. Fang Yi had to add quick-drying medium oil to the colors to speed up the progress. That's it, even one sample was spent.
It took Fang Yi three full days to complete the painting.
"Isn't it a little too bright? Overall, it's a little too lively." Nick looked at Fang Yi's plan and said, "But your technique is really good!".
"I think it should be like this. It doesn't ruin the style of the work as a whole, and it also adds some vitality, making the color of the human body more beautiful." Fang Yi opened his mouth to explain. He said this, but in his heart, Fang Yi
Yi thought that was all he could do. As for whether to adopt it or not, that was Nick's business. I did what I should do. If you can't save him, you can't blame me.
It's impossible for Fang Yi to pinch Nick's neck and say loudly, just follow my plan to fix it! Don't worry about whether it's stupid or not, just do it like this. The best result is probably that Nick will just call the security guard, which may not be better.
I received a summons from the court!
Now that it was finished, Fang Yi directly cleaned up the oil paint on his hands: "Anyway, my ideas are here, and there is nothing else for me to do next! I will go back first, because the work I owe to the gallery has not been completed yet.
!".
"Yeah!" Nick looked at Fang Yi's plan and thought about it carefully, then waved his hand to Fang Yi casually, not sure whether he understood what Fang Yi said.
With both hands empty, Fang Yi walked out of Nick's studio. As for the following things, Fang Yi couldn't care about it. As for whether Nick would adopt his own plan, Fang Yi didn't hold anything too big in his heart anyway.
Hope! I can save Ingres's painting, and I have done everything I need to do. I might as well just be out of sight, out of mind, to save myself the trouble of having to worry about this problem again!
After driving back home, Fang Yi opened the door and saw Beronica standing in front of the easel in the corner of the living room, staring at the easel with her eyebrows furrowed.
"What's going on?" Fang Yi walked to Beronika's side, stretched out his hand and lightly scratched his girlfriend's face with his finger.
Beronica looked at Fang Yi standing next to her and said: "I still can't draw the ninth layer, and the timeline or edges of the transparent cover on the eighth layer are deformed!".
Fang Yi looked at his girlfriend's easel and said softly: "How can such a simple thing be possible!". Although Beronica was eating Fang Yi's small stove, the technique cannot be improved in a day or two. There are some things that Fang Yi
It's very simple to draw, but it's something I've learned through years of constant practice, with the help of things in my head!
"Don't be anxious, take your time! Besides, your works don't use many such techniques!" Fang Yi could only comfort his girlfriend in this way. Nowadays, the works of Fang Yi and Keshma tend to be realistic, saying
Partial resemblance means resemblance but not pure resemblance. The body is somewhere between resemblance and dissimilarity. Among the five people, some are somewhat similar and some are not, depending on their personal style. But Beronica’s style requirements are different.
.
Beronica looked at Fang Yi and said: "I can't let my skills continue to be so bad!".
Fang Yi smiled and said: "They are all in their thirties, how old are you!".
"Are you in your thirties too?" Beronica asked.
"Me?" Fang Yi was stunned after hearing this. Fang Yi really didn't compare himself with his girlfriend in his mind, because he had something in his mind, but his girlfriend obviously didn't, so he had to explain: "I copy classical works by myself.
It’s not less than them! You only made a few pictures, so you usually bring them slowly!”
After hearing this, Beronica became happy: "Yes!" (To be continued...)
