When repairing the original work, Fang Yi had to minimize the use of some modern quick-drying media, so the time had to be extended. This area really took five and a half working days to complete.
After finishing the last stroke of painting, Fang Yi threw the brush in his hand onto the cart, picked up a cloth and wiped the paint on his hand: "I have completed the repair part. If you think it is suitable and worth keeping, then there is no need."
What's wrong with me!" The remaining varnish still had some problems with the picture. Fang Yi didn't plan to continue working on it and handed it over to the museum.
After the whole restoration, Fang Yi got only a little more than a thousand francs, which is a little over two thousand euros. If it weren't for Ingres's work, Fang Yi really wouldn't be interested in playing with it. I'll leave the rest to him.
If the museum does it, we can't let these bastards hold their heads for nothing, right?
"Fang! You really should work in a museum!" Nick said again as he watched Fang Yi stand up from the painting.
"Your skills are outstanding! It's a genius to reach such a level at such a young age! Nick, it's a waste for you to ask him to do restorations." An old man standing behind Nick said: "Devoting yourself to artistic creation has a better future than restoration.
Too much!".
This old man understands! Fang Yi looked at the old man who was talking and smiled. How much income can he earn in a year when he goes to work in the museum to restore? I am afraid that his salary in a year is not even enough to pay for one of his works!
"I think this is Angel!" Another old man walked up to the canvas and looked at the part painted by Fang Yi and said in admiration: "If it had been processed in the post-processing, without knowing the situation, it would be impossible for me to tell the difference.
Yes! You are really great, and your classical techniques are also very powerful!”.
As soon as the title of the painting turned to classical techniques, these old men became interested and started discussing it with Fang Yi.
Fang Yi's classicism techniques are really very powerful, but after discussing these things for more than ten minutes, Fang Yi became a little interested. Many classicism techniques were summarized by the previous masters from generation to generation. Fang Yi
Most of the people here are doing their studies.
Everything that is used, what is beautiful and gorgeous, is also a style. It is a style that is not favored by people here in France. In terms of technique alone, Fang Yi has not jumped out of the rules drawn by the previous masters. Now Fang Yi only sees one
People think outside the box, that trash can!
After chatting for a while, Fang Yi made an excuse and went back home to tinker with his small workshop. He left a group of old men standing in front of Angel's almost restored work.
Nick sighed and said: "He is really talented, but it's a pity that he doesn't like doing this job!".
"You think it's a pleasure to come into contact with these masterpieces every day, but it's a pity that he doesn't think so!" The old man who spoke in front of him opened his mouth and said: "If you have such a level, then you can be more flexible. Sign with a good gallery and then do some inexplicable things.
It's easier to come out than to live here! To put it bluntly, when I was as old as him, I also wanted to stand out and become an art master who established a sect. Who would think of coming here?
Fix the painting!".
"Hahaha!" This sentence caused several old men to laugh.
"Fang has restored Ingres to such a level that other classical masters won't have much of a problem, just like Ingres back then. He painted the figures beautifully, that's Raphael!"
The bald old man said.
"Yeah!" This sentence aroused praise from other old men.
The few old men now have no big doubts about Fang Yi's level of restoration of classicism. They guess that some styles may be more difficult, while those similar to Fang Yi's own style may be easier. This can be seen from this work.
It turns out that Fang Yi's technical level is up to par.
Another old man replied with a smile: "If he restored Ingres like this, then the next restorer recruited in the museum will be in trouble!" After that, he laughed out loud.
It is impossible for Fang Yi to work in the museum. In addition, the Versailles Museum has lost its trash can, so another restorer will definitely be recruited. For the subsequent restorer, this Ingres work that was directly waved up will definitely
I was quite stressed, so I just painted it like this. The style is no different from Angel’s original painting!
As soon as the restoration of the work was completed, Fang Yi let go. Several well-known restorers in the Versailles Museum also saw Fang Yi's technique on this work and gave high praise to Fang Yi's restoration ability.
evaluate.
Two days after doing it, Nick also sent Fang Yi the title of restoration consultant of the Versailles Museum. Of course, this title does not allow you to eat, drink, or take money! Like most types of consultants, it is in a state of indifference, but this
It is also an affirmation of Fang Yi’s restoration of masterpieces.
Fang Yi definitely doesn't care much about this, and cares more about the things he tinkered with. Now he is taking the first small bottle he tinkered with to the discussion meeting.
"Yi! Is this thing you mentioned okay?" Rude took the glass bottle from Fang Yi's hand and put it in front of his eyes for a while.
Now this bottle is nothing to look at. The mouth of an ordinary glass bottle is stuffed with a ball of paper stopper, and there is only more than half of the transparent liquid in the bottle. Shake it a little, and you will find that the liquid inside is very thick, thicker than ordinary glass bottles.
The cooking oil is a little thicker.
Fang Yi smiled and said: "I tried it myself, and it is really easy to use. This is the isolation oil I researched, and it is a quick-drying medium!" After speaking, Fang Yi pointed to the experiment he brought on the easel.
Work: "Look at my current painting, does the color look a little better than the previous two days? The main feature is that the oil in the paint will not be mixed with it, and it will be isolated!".
Keshima looked at it and nodded and said: "It looks very good. Can the difficulty of the technique be reduced a little?" Taking the bottle from Rude's hand, Keshima looked at it and asked: "Why is there only this?"
It’s a small bottle, and it’s not full! You won’t let us share it, right?”
"Of course, use them separately!" Fang Yi looked at his friend and said: "Of course, I also kept a small bottle for myself. You guys can try it out first. How much can I produce in a small workshop? Save it! If this
If the product is qualified, then I will study the next one!”.
Anders looked at the oil in the small bottle: "We can't be allowed to go to someone else's painting box to get this thing!".
"Wait for you to use it first," Artur said: "I have been painting for the gallery these days, so I can't take risks! Let me know if you use it and it works well!".
"You won't put it into small bottles!" Fang Yi said to Angles: "Again, I am a small workshop and do not provide personal services! I think it is good, let everyone try it, if there is anything good
If you bring up your opinions, I would like to make some improvements!"
Fang Yi talks about improvement, but in fact he has no intention of improving it at all. Even if Fang Yi wants to change it, he doesn't have the ability. How can he change something he copied from his mind and there is no follow-up model?
"Who will try it first?" Rude doesn't have the same confidence as Fang Yi. He feels the same about this thing as Artur, so it's better to let others try it out first and then see what the effect is. Oil paintings don't just look at what's on the canvas at that time.
Performance also depends on whether the color of the work can be preserved for a longer period of time after the painting is completed! It is risky to use a new thing rashly.
Bang! Anders snapped his fingers, waved to Keshima, and told Keshima to pass the bottle in his hand to him, took it and put it into his arms: "Then let me try it first.
!".
"I didn't say no," Keshima looked at Anders's movements, smiled and said, "Let's try it. Sometimes there may be a certain color that will conflict with it, or the ingredients may change over time.
A chemical reaction occurs!”.
Fang Yi told his friends how to use the new gadget and some things to pay attention to. To put it simply, this thing is to isolate the colors painted successively on the canvas. Now the oil dries faster and forms a
A very thin, completely transparent film-like partition will not affect the color of the covered part or the color of the cover above it, and it has a certain beautification effect.
Fang Yi's first research result was marketed in this way. In addition to himself, Keshma and Anders, the other two insuranceists were in a wait-and-see state. Regardless of whether others use it or not, Fang Yi has come up with it anyway.
When this thing came, I threw the original two bottles of medium oil aside, kicked it out of my painting materials list, and started using it happily.
The next day after selling his 'invention', it was time for Qu Gu, Su Meng, his wife, and Luan Xiao to arrive in Paris. Fang Yi naturally drove his Renault and took his girlfriend Beronica with him.
Pick someone up at Charles de Gaulle Airport.
Fang Yi, who has a deep understanding of airport customs, did not wait impatiently for the flight to arrive this time. Instead, he waited for almost ten minutes before slowly walking Bellonica toward the exit.
Even so, Fang Yi and the other two still waited for almost twenty minutes before they saw three people dragging large and small bags out of the passage.
"Why did you bring so much luggage? Are you moving?" Fang Yi looked at the three people carrying large and small bags and asked.
Luan Xiao only had two big boxes, a large backpack in each hand, and a bag hanging around her neck. Qu Gu was also dressed in the same way, only Su Meng was better, carrying a green backpack and holding a bag in his hand.
Carrying a small handbag.
The way the two of them were dressed made it impossible for Fang Yi to give his three friends a hug! He directly took a suitcase from Qu Gu and led the three of them towards the car.
"The French customs are so fucked!" Luan Xiao put her luggage in Fang Yi's car, and then she freed up her hands to give Fang Yi, whom she hadn't seen for almost two years, a big hug.
Patting Luan Xiao on the back, Fang Yi said jokingly: "They have always been very fucked up, and their fucking skills have never been surpassed. I never encountered such fucked up airport customs when I went to the United States!".
All the things he had were put in the car. Fang Yi introduced his girlfriend Beronica to Luan Xiao and the others, and then they all drove towards the house Fang Yi originally rented.
