Yan Liben was overjoyed to finally succeed in his apprenticeship. He couldn't help but humbly ask Li Min for advice: "Master, how did the sketching technique you created highlight the three-dimensional sense of the characters?"
Li Min couldn't help but patiently explain: "To achieve this effect, you must first pay attention to the light and shadow, and then through some simple lines, you can achieve this effect."
"Light and shadow?"
After hearing Li Min's words, Yan Liben couldn't help but show a look of confusion on his face.
Is there any necessary connection between painting and light and shadow?
What Li Min was interested in was actually Yan Liben's craftsmanship and architectural abilities.
Now that I have decided to win over him, I will certainly not deal with him now.
Li Meng carried out a Zhenguan table and placed it outside, then took out a tea bowl and placed it on the table. Under the sunlight, the shadow of the tea bowl was left on the table.
Li Min couldn't help but point to the tea bowl and said to Yan Liben: "Liben, did you see it? When the sun shines down, this side is the bright side, and this side is the shadow."
"If you want to highlight the three-dimensional effect, you need to process the light side and the shadow part differently when painting. To do this, we can do it through some lines."
As Li Min spoke, he sketched lines on the rice paper. After a while, a tea bowl appeared vividly on the paper.
If you don't even pay attention, you will really think that there is a tea bowl placed on the rice paper.
After receiving such a novel and ingenious painting technique, Yan Liben was so excited that he could not contain himself. He quickly took the charcoal from Li Min and started painting by himself.
Li Min, on the other hand, stood behind Yan Liben, constantly giving instructions on painting techniques.
…
At this time, Li Mengxin and Wu Jue came together.
Xiao Liuzi did not dare to neglect, and quickly led the two girls into the Lixiang Courtyard where King Liang lived, and said to the two girls: "Our Highness is in front, ladies and gentlemen, please come!"
Li Mengxin smiled and said: "We are not here to see your Highness, we are here to see Xiaoxiao!"
"Xiao Xiao, we're here to see you!"
"Xiao Xiao, you look so cute in this outfit!"
Faced with the compliments from Li Mengxin and Wu Jue, Xue Xiaoxiao suddenly felt embarrassed and said quickly: "How can you not, two ladies? (Misty rain changed the title to miss later, okay? They probably didn't call them that in the Tang Dynasty)
, but I still think I need to get used to it as a lady.) That’s what makes me beautiful!”
"My Royal Highness is teaching students to draw inside. Please, ladies!"
Hearing Xue Xiaoxiao's words, Li Mengxin couldn't help but curiously asked: "His Highness actually has students?"
Xue Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "I just came here today to be my apprentice. I heard he is the Minister of Civil Affairs."
Wu Jue couldn't help but clapped his hands and said: "That's just right. I just wanted to ask His Highness about painting techniques. Now it's a coincidence that we can go to the class together."
As they spoke, the three women walked in gently.
Inside, a pair of teachers and students were extremely entranced, and the three women walked lightly.
The three women walked directly behind them, and neither the master nor the disciple noticed it.
At this time, Li Min happened to be giving instructions to Yan Liben.
"What you're doing here is wrong. Look here, the light comes from here, so the light here changes from bright to dark. There's something wrong with your light processing."
Yan Liben nodded repeatedly after being taught, and then made corrections on the drawing paper.
Although the three women behind him couldn't quite understand what Li Min was talking about, they all felt that they were very powerful.
Especially the person taught by His Highness is still a high official, and now he respectfully obeys His Highness's teachings.
And the way His Highness teaches others is full of magnanimity and unique demeanor.
Next, the two women watched Yan Liben's painting carefully.
Li Mengxin and Wu Jue felt very magical when they saw Yan Liben's sketches and the tea bowls being shaped bit by bit on the rice paper.
It was not until after Yan Liben finished the painting that Li Min accidentally turned around and discovered the arrival of Li Mengxin and Wu Jue.
Li Min couldn't help but smile and said: "Huh? You are here, why didn't you call me? You are really neglectful."
Li Mengxin's pretty face blushed slightly, and then she said nonchalantly: "We are here to play with the little girl, not you!"
Yan Liben stood up and said: "Master, since you have a friend coming to visit, I will leave first."
Li Min didn't have any guests, so he got up and sent Yan Liben out of the hospital.
After coming back, I saw the two women looking at the paintings on the table with curiosity.
Seeing Li Min coming back, Li Mengxin couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, I also want to learn painting from you. Can Your Highness teach me?"
Li Min smiled and said: "Okay, since you want to learn, then I will teach you."
Next, Li Min once again explained the theory of sketching to Li Mengxin and Wu Jue.
After the explanation, Li Min asked Li Mengxin to sit down and start drawing the tea bowl.
When she was watching it from behind, Li Mengxin thought it was very simple and could be completed easily.
What she didn't know was that Yan Liben was originally a highly accomplished painter.
He just doesn't understand the theory and techniques of sketching, but his basic skills are very solid.
As for Li Mengxin, although she was also literate, she had never painted before.
As soon as you get started, how could you master it so quickly?
As soon as I started to draw it, I started to draw it crookedly, making the tea bowl look as ugly as possible.
Li Mengxin pursed her lips and asked: "Your Highness, why do I draw so ugly?"
Li Min smiled slightly and said: "The lines you draw are not soft enough, and don't be so thick. Come, let me teach you how to use the brush."
After saying that, Li Min stood directly behind Li Mengxin, reached out to hold Li Mengxin's hand, and led her to teach her how to use the brush and how to draw lines.
Rou Yi was held by Li Min. Li Mengxin's face suddenly turned rosy, her heartbeat increased by eighty paces, and her whole body was so nervous that she couldn't even hear clearly what Li Min was saying.
After an unknown amount of time, Li Min finally let go of her hand, and Li Mengxin breathed a sigh of relief, but for some reason, a feeling of reluctance arose in her heart.
"Now, do you know how to use a pen?"
Li Mengxin bit her lip and nodded slightly.
Next to him, Wu Jue looked at the two of them with a half-smile but said, "Your Highness, I also want to learn painting. Can you teach me?"
Li Min nodded and said, "Of course!"
Wu Jue picked up the brush and started painting, but it seemed that her foundation was worse than Li Mengxin's.
Seeing this scene, Li Min couldn't help but walk over, hold Wu Jue's hand, and show her the familiar line drawing method.
Not long after, after finishing the painting, Wu Jue raised his head and smiled charmingly at Li Min.
This smile was so charming that it filled the garden with spring, and Li Min couldn't help but be stunned.
This Wu Jue is very charming at a young age. If he grows up, will he still be able to do it?
Li Min couldn't help but murmured to himself: "Meiniang, Mei Niang, she really lives up to her name."
Hearing Li Min's words, Wu Jue was stunned for a moment, then smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for the name!"
