Early in the morning of the next day, Fang Yi rushed to the studio. Firstly, he was preparing to learn classical techniques, and secondly, he also wanted to prepare a stretch cloth to lay the foundation for his "September 10th".
When he arrived at the studio, Fang Yi was a little dazed looking at the picture frames placed on the teacher's easel, because Liu Hongshuo's existing picture frames, even the large stretch cloth frames, all had some cross beams between the square frames.
Yi doesn't like this kind of thing very much, because the stretched canvas will have some elasticity even if it is pressed lightly. Fang Yi can still tolerate it if it is a small frame, but this time Fang Yigui plans to paint a large one with a width of 130cmx195cm.
When painting, I hope the canvas will be smoother, preferably a solid panel for easier focus. This will make it easier to paint by yourself.
Since there is none now, Fang Yi is not in a hurry to wait for the teacher to come and talk to the teacher. Thinking of this, Fang Yi starts to stretch out the small picture frame. So Fang Yi is just preparing the color draft, not necessarily
The painting needs to be very detailed, but at least the big color relationship needs to be adjusted well. As for the dynamics of the characters, Fang Yi is going to start sketching, not only the characters but also some backgrounds, etc., Fang Yi is going to sketch them all.
reflected on.
Now Fang Yi stretches the canvas quickly. In less than half an hour, he stretched a 38x46 picture frame and applied the first coat of rabbit skin glue.
After fixing a piece of paper on the drawing board, Fang Yi began to arrange it on the paper according to the scene he saw yesterday. Fang Yi's first step was not to use a pencil to draft, but to lightly scan the paper with a charcoal pen.
There are some general character dynamics, background buildings, etc. I just scanned them very lightly so that I can change them later if they are found to be inappropriate.
Sometimes when you imagine a perfect thing in your mind, when you actually put it on the screen, it will make you feel a little inappropriate. Although Fang Yi is already very good at it, this feeling still occurs.
The two large and small ovals on the screen represent a character. Others can't see anything, but Fang Yi already knows what the final effect of his sketch will be if he completes it as he does now.
If you are not satisfied, there is only one way! That is to change it until you are satisfied! Fang Yi picked up the soft brush in his hand and brushed away some areas that he was not satisfied with, then stood in front of the drawing board with his chin in his hands and continued to look at the picture.
Frowning, he thought carefully about how to unify his entire picture.
Fang Yi arrived at the studio before seven o'clock, spent half an hour stretching the cloth, and then took less than ten minutes to transfer the large shapes in his mind to the paper. Most of the rest of the time was spent thinking about how to arrange the painting.
, at almost ten o'clock, the teacher Liu Hongshuo entered the studio, and Fang Yi only touched a few strokes.
Liu Hongshuo walked to the student's easel, took a look and asked, "What are you planning to paint?".
Fang Yi turned to look at the teacher and said: "The scene of the high school return to school yesterday was very interesting. I decided to draw it. Now I am thinking about how to arrange my painting!".
Having said this, I then thought about the picture frame I wanted: "Teacher! I want a 195x130 drawing board, the one with a lining on the front!".
"Are you going to make this painting so big?" Liu Hongshuo asked. He looked at the student and nodded without asking any more questions. He pointed to a table in the corner: "The little book over there has the phone number of the frame master. He
His craftsmanship is the best in Shicheng. From now on, just ask him to make it in whatever size you want and send it to the studio!"
"Yeah!" After hearing this, Fang Yi immediately moved his legs and walked towards the small book. After finding the frame master's phone number, he immediately started calling. After explaining his requirements in detail, he hung up the phone.
"Teacher! What are you doing with such a big piece of paper under your arm? Drawing a sketch?" Fang Yi then discovered that the teacher was gently holding a roll of paper under his arm. This thing is really not small, it is definitely a size zero!
Liu Hongshuo said: "Today I will demonstrate Titian's technique to you. Of course, you need to find something to draw on. It is just to test the technique that there is no need to find a model, so I brought this thing! Go and hang it on the easel!
"With that said, he handed the paper tube in his hand to Fang Yi.
Fang Yi took the thing and unfolded it to take a look! Good guy! It turned out to be a big photo, and it was not an ordinary photo! On it was a naked horse, with long brown and slightly red hair hanging down the pink and white neck.
On the chest, covering the left chest of the body, only a white arc was revealed at the edge of the hair. The one on the right was openly exposed, and the whole body was naked. Only the left hand was holding a peacock tail feather.
The fan was placed between the chest and waist, and the other hand was hanging naturally. Yangma lay on the purple bright velvet lady's chair with a lazy look.
"What are you looking at! Hang it up first!" Liu Hongshuo said to Fang Yi: "I want to take it home to see it in the future! Have you ever seen a woman with naked buttocks?" Fang Yi's performance made Liu Hongshuo a little dissatisfied, boy.
My eyes were fixed!
Fang Yi raised his head and smiled at the teacher and said: "I have never seen a Yangma so clearly before." It was indeed clear, so clear that you could even see the light hairs on the skin!
"Okay! Okay! Hang up quickly and let's see what potential you have!" Liu Hongshuo was so amused by the students that he had no choice but to say continuously.
After hanging the painting, the shelf was placed two meters in front of the teacher's easel. After placing it, Fang Yi stood directly behind the teacher.
"I don't need to say more about Titian's greatness! He is known as the father of Western oil painting. Some people commented on Titian: neither Leonardo da Vinci nor Raphael can compare with him!" Liu Hongshuo sorted out his painting box.
The brush tool said to the students: "His greatness was that he developed the new Van Dyck technique."
After a pause, he said: "Although Van Dyck's technique can make the whole picture smooth and gorgeous, this method is most suitable for small prints like those in Northern Europe. If this technique is used for large murals, the picture will appear reflective.
It's very powerful, and Titian solved this problem after research! Because Titian invented a new mixing oil, Titian became the first painter in history who could paint that smoke-like feeling.
This effect made the whole character be placed in the space. In the later period, he got rid of the previous tradition of sketching first and directly used colors to shape the body on the canvas. His painting skills had a profound influence on later painters!"
.
"Beeswax oil is used in Titian's technique, so the color of the painting dries a bit slowly, and the painting will not become dry or sticky even for five or six hours. If you feel that the time is too long, you can add some linseed oil.
Fragrant coloring oil can usually be left to dry overnight, so that you can proceed to the next stage of painting! But for the sake of insurance, you should wait one to two days!" Having said this, Liu Hongshuo picked up the brush and pointed it at himself
Said a ball of gelatinous beeswax toning oil in the middle of the palette.
Fang Yi stood quietly next to the teacher and listened to Liu Hongshuo's explanation.
"Titian prefers red or gray background colors." Liu Hongshuo said while using the earthy red background color that he had asked Fang Yi to apply: "Then use a round-tip pen to take some brown and add a little mixing oil directly on it.
After saying this, Liu Hongshuo picked up the colors according to what he explained, and started drawing on the canvas in front of him according to the posture of the model in the photo.
After the entire manuscript was finished, I took white and ivory black on my palette and mixed them into a gray: "Use this gray to apply to the character's skin." After the entire human body's skin was painted, I mixed it again.
The same two colors were used on the palette to create a heavier gray.
"A heavier gray is applied to the dark parts of the body, which will be the shadow parts in the future," Liu Hongshuo said while sweeping the color from the brush up on the model's body.
"Then lift the highlights on the body with pure white."
Now Fang Yi saw something weird on the teacher's canvas, because the entire human skin looked nothing like it. It looked very weird! There were white patches and black patches, especially the white ones on the model, which looked very uncomfortable.
. But I didn’t ask. Of course the teacher knew how to change the current color into that skin color. It was unnecessary to ask!
"Now I use a flat-headed bristle brush to mix colors. The main purpose is to mix the colors in the highlight area and the shadow area." Liu Hongshuo said while swinging the large flat-headed brush in his hand. Following the teacher's hand, the skin color of the human body on the picture was not complete.
Like, but there is no longer the fussy feeling before, and the color on the whole skin is much softer.
"The next step is to use the same method to draw the details of the face, and then continue to use the brush to mix colors in order to create a sense of space for the body!" After Liu Hongshuo said this, he did not speak, but continued to paint in front of his face.
The master and the apprentice remained silent together for more than an hour.
"Okay, now let's go back to eat." Liu Hongshuo put down the brush in his hand and said, "Waiting for the afternoon to continue!".
"What's the next step?" Fang Yi quickly helped the teacher take off the protective sleeve.
Liu Hongshuo shook his head and said: "It's still this step. It will take at least three hours to be officially completed, and then it is drying. If it can be completely dried, the next step can be started tomorrow. If it is not completely dry, you have to wait until it is completely dry. This matter cannot be rushed.
!But with the current weather, it won’t be a problem if it dries out!”.
"How many days do you plan to finish the lecture?" It takes a whole day to draw like this now, and it will take at least a week later. It is much more detailed than the lectures given to those students.
Liu Hongshuo looked at Fang Yi and said, "What's the matter with you?".
Fang Yi smiled and said: "What do I have to do? Even if I do, I still paint!".
"Yes!" Liu Hongshuo nodded and said, "I plan to speak in detail and draw as detailed as possible. But my body may not be able to handle such continuous demonstrations and explanations every day. I plan to take a day off every three days.
, so it takes up to a month! Not enough time. In some places, Titian himself had to do twenty to thirty times of over-dyeing. Without time or effort, it would be difficult to make the painting stand out."
Fang Yi couldn't help but take a breath inwardly after hearing this: It takes so long? It seems that he can only carry the painting with him for his first work and the time will be postponed.
Liu Hongshuo said this and said to Fang Yi: "After I finish explaining, your task today is to follow the steps I just took again. At least it should be close to my current painting. It cannot be too far away. What you did
It’s here! If you want to be lazy, just redraw it tomorrow!”
"Got it!" Fang Yi nodded and said.
The master and apprentice then went home to have dinner together.
