Fang Yi thought that the teacher was just telling him anecdotes about the master and giving him a pat on the back. Little did he know that Liu Hongshuo was afraid that Fang Yi would become pampered and frivolous after receiving too much pampering. It's not that pampered and frivolous people can't draw well.
Masters with eccentric personalities throughout history were able to show off their abilities. If you want to make your artistic journey smoother, you'd better restrain your temper.
Let’s not talk about others, let’s take Liu Hongshuo himself as an example. This is the old man’s character. How much has he suffered because of such a temper? To be honest, if the old man had a milder temper, he would have been the dean of Hangzhou Meizhou long ago, and he would be the leader in the domestic oil painting industry.
.
Liu Hongshuo thinks that Fang Yi's character is pretty good now, but it doesn't mean that his character will always be this good in the future. The master's character is not formed in a day or two! Moreover, Liu Hongshuo thinks that Fang Yi doesn't have arrogance in his heart. To be honest, he doesn't have any in his heart.
Without arrogance, even if I am capable of doing better than others, I will not be able to do it even if I put in the effort. Not to mention in the field of painting, it is impossible for you to become the best in any industry!
Now Liu Hongshuo discovered that not only Fang Yi's parents, but also his wife doted on him as a student. He was afraid that so much love would make Fang Yi, a good seedling, grow crooked. Liu Jiangshuo was worried about others and did not think about his own heart.
How much do you like Fang Yi? If not, others wouldn’t be so angry when they mentioned that Fang Yi walked through the back door and entered his door, insisting on competing with others! So this person is prone to looking at other people’s shortcomings and looking at his own.
Disadvantages are difficult!
The master and apprentice painted for more than half an hour, and Liu Hongshuo took a rest first. He sat on a chair not far behind Fang Yi and closed his eyes for four or five minutes. Then he opened his eyes and looked at Fang Yi's paintings on the canvas. He was very satisfied.
nodded.
"What have you been doing at school these days?" Liu Hongshuo asked casually as he watched his disciple put down his brush.
Fang Yi turned around and faced his teacher and said, "I just listened to the lectures. I skipped the things I was sure about and listened more carefully to the things I didn't understand. I also went to the art classroom for two afternoons!"
Then he reported to the teacher what he had done in the past two days, and finally said: "I drew two more model paintings!".
After hearing this, Liu Hongshuo said: "How can you give away your paintings to others casually?" After saying this, he sat up straight on his chair, stared at his student and asked: "How many paintings have you given away to others so far?".
Fang Yi lowered his head, roughly counted and said: "There are twelve, most of them were left in the art classroom as models! Except for the sketch that was given away this time, only one was given away.
A classmate who helped me a lot in the past!".
"Do you have a good relationship with these people?" Liu Hongshuo asked.
Fang Yi thought for a moment and said, "That's not too bad! But if the teacher in the art class says that I can stay and do demonstrations, I have to agree!"
"If you stay in school until there's nothing wrong with it, just refuse it if you're not very friendly to personal requests. From now on, you'd rather give money to others than give them paintings!" Liu Hongshuo emphasized again.
Fang Yi said with a nonchalant expression: "Oh! Then I know!".
Looking at the students' expressions, how could Liu Hongshuo not know that this was perfunctory and directly said to Fang Yi: "Do you think a painter of the same level has painted a thousand paintings, or a painter of ten paintings, which artist's paintings are more expensive?".
"Of course the ten-pair one is more expensive." Fang Yi looked at the teacher and answered directly. Everyone knows this question. Rare things are more valuable!
Liu Hongshuo looked at Fang Yi and said, "You know it too! Think about it if you were at my level and painted a painting for sale. As a result, the market was filled with paintings that you had given away before. What do you think you would do?"
If the sub-painting is worth 100,000 yuan, then you give away 100,000 yuan to others! If you pay 500,000 yuan, you give away 500,000 yuan! And so on!"
"Uh!" Fang Yi didn't know how to answer after hearing the teacher's words. Because Fang Yi had never thought about how much his paintings would sell for in the future. Of course, he never valued his current paintings, and he didn't even think about giving them to others.
Drawing concept of giving money to others.
"Then let me give you an example, which is Professor Zhang Xianshan who you have also met in our stone art department! How do you think his painting skills compare to Liu Yuchan?".
Fang Yi shook his head and said: "It's half a level worse than Mr. Liu's traditional Chinese painting!".
Liu Hongshuo said: "But in the current market, the price of Zhang Xianshan's paintings is only much more than Liu Yuchan's. In terms of square feet, they are even higher than Liu Yuchan's. This is because the old man Zhang Xianshan's paintings on the market now are less than 100 yuan."
Fifty paintings! And Liu Yuchan has more than 400 paintings over the years! Many of the early paintings were given by Liu Yuchan to his friends, and he gave away nearly 200 paintings of various sizes! Of course, there are certain historical reasons for this.
!Now these paintings by Liu Yu Chan Guang are worth eight to nine million. What would you think if you gave away nearly ten million to others?"
"Of course I can't bear to part with it!" Fang Yi nodded and said directly. Ten million is not a big deal. According to ordinary people's methods, a family of three can live from birth to death. Maybe it would be enough to take the son with him and the whole family.
It would be hypocritical to be willing to give it to others.
"Then do you know why I only paint three paintings at most a year?" Liu Hongshuo said to Fang Yi: "These three paintings are not necessarily all sent to the gallery to buy. Sometimes I keep one painting, sometimes I keep two paintings.
!If you paint a dozen or so paintings a year, how can you guarantee the price of your paintings in the market? After all, you are still alive. It would be easy to say if you were dead. As long as you have achieved that level, the price of your paintings will naturally go up.
Turn over! If you are alive, you must consider that you should let the price of your paintings keep going up and not go down, and let the people who want your paintings wait for something that is not available for grabs. Almost every painting by Van Gogh is
Only masterpieces by Picasso can be worth more than 10 million US dollars, because Picasso has more than 37,000 paintings in existence, and some of his works can only be sold for a mere 20,000 to 30,000 US dollars."
Fang Yi asked: "Is this how you control the price of your paintings?".
"It's not only to control the price of paintings, but also to give your senior sister and my grandson something to rely on." Liu Hongshuo said: "No matter what, I still have some of my paintings in my hands! I will kick them out when they encounter difficulties in the future.
You can also exchange it for some money."
At this point, he continued: "Actually, there are many ways to increase the price of paintings. Some people send them to auctions and then buy them back anonymously, or ask others to come forward. Some are even hyped by contracted galleries. There are all kinds of methods! But I hope you use
The methods are usually based on quantity control, rather than taking some crooked ways."
Fang Yi nodded and agreed, but then he remembered something and joked with the teacher: "Can I draw less from now on?".
"We'll wait until you become famous. Now just paint your own paintings honestly!" Liu Hongshuo glared at Fang Yi and said, then he laughed. It would be difficult for his students not to paint.
Fang Yi himself also laughed.
Liu Hongshuo said: "Since you went to the art classroom, you might as well go back to the studio, but I have to say that if your test scores show a significant decline, you can go back to the classroom!" Liu Hongshuo was afraid that his students would be stunned.
In the art classroom, he was pulled to do a demonstration painting again! For Fang Yi, Liu Hongshuo thought that it was expected to surpass him, but now he only looks at how much he surpassed him! He had already arranged a path for the students in his heart! The old man didn't want Fang Yi to let Fang Yi
Put your energy into figuring out what others have drawn.
"Okay!" Fang Yi was so happy that he almost danced.
Liu Hongshuo looked at Fang Yi and said: "The results of the additional art test have been released, and your results are full marks!".
Fang Yi was a little stunned when he heard the news. Quan Man? He couldn't help but reached out and touched his head and said, "Isn't Quan Man a bit too ostentatious?".
"From the first day you became my disciple, Liu Hongshuo, you showed off!" The old man raised his head and said proudly to the student: "I haven't been able to catch anyone in my eyes for so many years. Now that you have entered my sect, how much will it cost you?"
My eyes are looking at you? What’s wrong, are you afraid?”.
Fang Yi shook his head and said: "I'm not afraid! I have nothing to be afraid of. I paint very well!" After speaking, he emphasized his tone and said: "Extraordinarily good!". When it comes to diligence and love for painting, Fang Yi is confident.
I don’t think I can surpass me, and I still have such an indescribable thing in my mind. If I can’t beat others anymore, I might as well go to the tofu stall and buy quick tofu and get killed.
At the moment of speaking, Fang Yi's face and body showed extremely strong confidence, which made Liu Hongshuo nod his head, but he also became a little worried when he thought about how to make Fang Yi's character less arrogant and complacent.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart and thought to myself: I want my children to be confident and humble at the same time. Am I asking too much? But there is nothing I can do about it. As someone who has lived abroad for more than ten years,
Painters, of course, know how difficult it is for a yellow-skinned person to achieve success in the field of oil painting! From the time oil painting was introduced to China to now, how many of them can take advantage of the oil paintings in the world? The only one who is really successful is Zao Wou-Ki.
, and Mr. Zhao Wuji is a French citizen.
Therefore, Liu Hongshuo believes that the path he has arranged for his students is not so smooth and easy. If he wants to become famous in a field dominated by white people, he really cannot do it without a good character!
Fang Yi didn't think so much. He was happily thinking about whether there would be any important classes tomorrow. If not, of course he would come to the studio to start painting! Thinking of being able to come to the studio, he also remembered what he said about going to the art classroom when he had time in the future.
, couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, thinking that he was going to break his promise again.
I thought for a while that I should take a class in school to show the paintings to those students who really want to learn my own style, and don't let others lead them into the trap! Now Fang Yi doesn't think that any academic school is orthodox sketching.
You think what you draw is called a sketch! You don’t even know what you want to express, how dare you call yourself orthodox?
Liu Hongshuo's words today only made Fang Yi remember two things. First, control the number of paintings he puts on the market, and second, don't give away 100,000 yuan when you have nothing to do!
