Fang Yi sat in front of the easel and thought carefully about which step he did not do enough or did too much, which led to the failure of his final creation. After carefully recalling it, Fang Yi came up with a little clue.
The gray base is too heavy, so that the inherent color of the object behind cannot be completely covered, and it seems that there is also a problem with my own cover dyeing. Not only are there not enough layers, but each layer is too light.
Watching the teacher draw it step by step, and his own drawing is quite good. This result made Fang Yi feel a little relaxed and thought that this thing is not difficult. Unknown, although Fang Yi did not follow the teacher's painting shape
, but Fang Yi still had a reference for Liu Hongshuo's color control at every step. Now that the reference is gone and Fang Yi needs to paint independently, Fang Yi is a little confused.
It's like learning a software. You follow the examples in the book and the result is very simple. If you do it step by step, of course the result will come out. But if you change the pattern and ask yourself to do it, you may not necessarily be able to do it! Now Fang Yi
The result of the drawing is similar to this situation.
Standing next to the student, Liu Hongshuo looked at the disciple's eighty-ninety percent completed painting and said, "Do you know what went wrong?".
To be honest, the old man is very satisfied with the current result. The brightness of the whole picture is gray, but the inherent color of the object can still be seen. It is not that the color of the whole picture is deviated from what the old man thought at first.
It can be said that this is the first time for Fang Yi to think independently and complete such a large painting, and the results he has handed in are not bad. Moreover, the old man feels that this painting will be quite interesting when it is completed.
Fang Yi nodded and said, "I thought of a few things!"
"Tell me about it!" Liu Hongshuo nodded and gently raised his palm towards his disciple.
"My gray base is a bit thick, and I haven't done enough in the over-dying. If I increase the number of over-dying or lower the brightness of the gray, I can avoid this situation!" Fang Yi said truthfully.
I told my teacher my idea.
Liu Hongshuo nodded while listening: "In general, that's the case! But there is a little something small! I asked you not to rely too much on thinner, but I didn't ask you to save to this extent. Now you use a little less oil.
It has a thickness when it dries, so when the light shines on it, it will naturally have a sense of beauty. Now some of the colors on your canvas are not bright, not only because of what you said, but also because of this factor."
Pointing at some parts of Fang Yi's painting, Liu Hongshuo said to his disciple: "These places are not done enough, and you are not doing enough to blend the single layer of colors. The reason why the classical painting method is called indirect painting method or
This is the transparent painting method, which uses multiple layers of single-color layers to achieve a realistic effect in the final picture. This requires you to have in mind the color of each layer, and the color of this layer will have an impact on the final image.
The impact on the overall picture must be clearly and accurately grasped. Each step of the drawing will be what it is, and what determines each step is the final overall effect of the picture, not your mood at the time!"
Fang Yi nodded while listening, frowning and constantly thinking about the meaning of the teacher's words in his own mind.
Facing Fang Yi's painting, Liu Hongshuo pointed out the shortcomings and explained to Fang Yi in detail how to avoid these shortcomings. After talking for about ten minutes, Liu Hongshuo stopped and asked the student: "How are you going to change it?"
this painting?".
"Shovel it off!" Fang Yi said directly.
After glancing at Fang Yi, Liu Hongshuo asked again: "Start immediately and start again directly on the canvas where the color has been removed?".
Fang Yi thought for a while and shook his head and said: "No! I want to draw some small-format things first, sketches of figures and still lifes. I will start painting it after I have control over it!".
"I'm waiting for you to finish painting it!" Liu Hongshuo said to Fang Yi as he looked at the picture that was about to be wiped out. The effect of the picture now shows what Fang Yi wanted to express.
The teaching building is in the background. Some students are standing on the railings, each with different movements. In the center of the picture is a fire. Five students are tearing apart the textbooks in their hands. Among them, the girl holding English has her arms stretched out and is tearing.
, and the boy standing next to him stepped on half of the political book under his feet, bent down and pulled it with one hand. The third student was looking out of the screen, waving with a smile on his face, holding a
A Chinese language book seemed to be greeting the artist or the viewer. One of the other two threw the book into the fire, and the other raised his hand and threw the torn pages into pieces above the fire. The broken pages were like a
A butterfly danced above the fire, and the half-page cover that fell at his feet had the word "wu" plus half of the word "reason" written on it.
The sky in the picture should be bright lake blue, and the bright national flag on the top of the teaching building seems to be driven by the heat rising from the fire, and the entire flag is rolling into the air. The flag is not the only one that moves the most intensely in the picture, also
What’s more intense is the smoke from several fires scattered far and near in the picture. The smoke is not gray, but a refreshing light blue. First it separates, then mixes together in the middle of the picture, and finally dissolves into
The color of the entire sky. Although all the characters on the picture have different postures, they are not so ostentatious. Although there is a smile on their face, there is a hint of elegance in their respective movements.
Liu Hongshuo admitted that if his students could make the colors of the painting brighter, the painting would definitely be outstanding. For his students' first full-scale creation, Liu Hongshuo was very satisfied with the current composition and characters.
.
"Your classmates are all very elegant!" After having finished raising his opinions, the old man said jokingly to the students.
Fang Yi chuckled and said, "I control the picture. If I want them to be extraordinary, they will be extraordinary. If I want them to be wretched, they will be wretched!" Fang Yi thinks that I am a camera again, recording whatever I see.
.I am painting on the canvas, so what I want to paint and how I want to paint is none of other people’s business!
"This idea is very good! Keep this way of independent creation and thinking!" Liu Hongshuo was very happy after hearing this. The idea in the old man's head was: Only those with independent personality and thoughts can be considered artists! He follows what everyone else says.
Or maybe those who follow power are sycophants and incompetents!
"Yeah!" Fang Yi nodded and said. Look at what he said, it is categorical that I have the final say in my painting! Otherwise, if you are close to red, you will be red, and if you are close to ink, you will be black. Fang Yi, a student who has stayed with the teacher for so long
Naturally, he had a bit of arrogance, which shaped Fang Yi's future character. He had a warm smile on the surface, but although he was very gentle to others, he was not very approachable. Of course, Fang Yi could not be like Liu Hongshuo.
If you don't like others, you will open your mouth to sarcastically or even scold them. Fang Yi just ignores you and despises you to the point of ignoring you! Anyway, he looks down on you in his heart, but he never wastes his words to argue with others!
For ordinary people, such a personality is a bit cold, but for artists, it is considered a good temper. How can one be considered an artist if he has no personality? Because he was born in a wealthy family, Fang Yi also has a generous personality, right?
So fussy about everything, this kind of personality is more likable in the art circle.
"What do you want your own style to be like in the future? What effect will the work achieve after it is completed?" Liu Hongshuo asked the students.
Fang Yi said directly without thinking: "My characters should be as beautiful as Raphael, and the colors should be as rich and clear as Titian, brisk and smooth! And they should have the light of Rembrandt!".
Liu Hongshuo was stunned for a moment, then looked at his student with his head upturned and said: "Not to mention the beauty of Raphael, because your paintings have a tendency to do so! Titian's colors are difficult
, but it’s not unattainable, but it’s too difficult to incorporate Rembrandt’s light!”
He paused for a moment and said: "If you could do it, do you know what it would be?". As mentioned above, Rembrandt abandoned the bright inherent brightness of objects to some extent in order to express light.
Color, bypassing the conflict between bright colors and light. By using this method to avoid the failure of the painting, Rembrandt's unique painting style was achieved.
"A great master!" Fang Yi thought for a moment and said.
"A great master of a generation! A great master of a generation!" Liu Hongshuo looked at Fang Yi and repeated two sentences after hearing this: "Work hard! If you can do it, although I am not as great as Verrocchio, I will be remembered in the history of painting in later generations.
When you introduce your life, you will also mention me! Just like when you mention Leonardo da Vinci and Botticelli and other masters, you will think of their teacher Verrocchio!".
Having said this, Liu Hongshuo suggested to the students: "Don't be busy blending Rembrandt's light first, leave the most difficult step to the end!" If Fang Yi is in a hurry to blend in now, when can he do it?
It’s really hard to predict how to produce works. Maybe his students will not have any successful works in their lifetime. As a painting veteran, Liu Hongshuo knows how difficult this matter is.
Fang Yi said: "Well! I want to do this kind of research in small paintings while painting!" Fang Yi also knew the difficulty of this matter and was mentally prepared. He would hone his skills through small paintings first.
Wait for the time to come true and then incorporate that strong sense of light.
After hearing this, Liu Hongshuo nodded and said: "Well! This is all for the future! You'd better solve the current problem first!" After saying that, he waved to the student: "I'm going back first!".
When he reached the door, Liu Hongshuo turned to the student and asked: "One more thing, do you want to live in a graduate dormitory or an ordinary dormitory in the future? There are two people in the graduate dormitory. If you want to be quiet, you can be alone."
"Is this still a challenge?" Fang Yi looked at the teacher and said in surprise. In the past, the teacher was afraid that others would say that he was looking for connections through the back door, but now he took the initiative to do it himself!
Liu Hongshuo looked at Fang Yi and said: "It was originally my arrangement. If you get 500 points, then I can mention your bachelor's degree and master's degree. Now that you have 600 points, I will naturally mention it!".
"ah!"
"Ah what! Is it possible that the students I teach, Liu Hongshuo, are not worthy of a master's degree?" the old man said, glaring at the students.
"Oh!" Fang Yi thought for a moment and said, "Let's just stay in the undergraduate dormitory!" Fang Yi has lived alone in a room since he was a child, and now he wants to experience the fun of four people living under the same roof.
"I'm going to take the CET-4 and CET-6 exams this year. Although it's useless, with this thing, others can't twist their mouths even if they want to." Liu Hongshuo said and walked out the door.
