Royal Master Painter

Chapter 22 The Identity of Lu Daoxuan
"So you can sell me paint? Aren't you afraid of offending Tongbao Pavilion?"

Jiang Greed didn't expect that there would be a bright future.

"Tongbao Pavilion can find your scribes and painters, but I can't take care of it. The most important thing for three generations of stonemasons in my family is paint. Of course, I also have some in Tongbao Pavilion, but friends are friends. The rules can't be broken, and I still have to collect money. of"

"what price"

"The paints used by the painter are nothing more than four colors of blue, red, purple, and yellow, and then add ink. According to the texture, they are divided into three grades. The lower grade is five taels, the middle one is 200 taels, and the upper grade is 5000 taels. .Purple is the most rare, and the same grade of purple pigment is twice as expensive as other colors.”

"so expensive"

Jiang Li was a little stunned. The gap between top-grade and middle-grade pigments was dozens of times higher. One catty of top-grade pigments needed 50 taels of silver?No wonder Lu Daoxuan's face was twitching when he used the paint in Nanping Town!

"Although the paint is expensive, it is much cheaper than the paintings of your painters. As long as the paintings are high-quality, even if they are low-quality, they are at least a hundred taels."

"Is it so expensive? What about ordinary products?"

"At least a thousand taels, and there are more than two or three thousand with outstanding painting skills."

Jiang Li's heart twitched after hearing this, and then he remembered the 600 taels of Chunxuan picture, which was a fine painting in Fanpin.
"I have 600 taels now, pack some for me except purple, inferior paints."

Although he can do it himself, the ones he sells in the pharmacy are really inferior, without any spiritual storage, and it takes three or four paintings to reach the low-grade painting.

"Then you come home with me to pick it up"

Lin'an City is not very big, only 50 million people. The two of them did not enter the city, but spent more than half a circle outside the city. They came to the place where he lived within an hour.

"My grandfather is getting old and has worked as a stonemason all his life. Many people say that his temper is as smelly and hard as the stones in the latrine, so he lives outside the city. Don't mind if his words offend anything."

"how could be"

Jiang Li knew that most capable people have their own tempers, especially Lin Fan's special greetings proved his extraordinaryness.

Before entering the thatched hut, there was an old man who was drunk and sloppy lying at the door.

Hearing someone coming, the old man got up from the ground, leaned on the door frame and looked at Lu Yufu and Jiang Tan.

"Get out, I don't welcome outsiders here," the old man said drunkenly.

"Grandpa, he's here to buy paint"

"Painter?"

After looking up and down for a few times, the old man was unexpectedly not looking for faults but moved out of the way.

"It's not as bad as you say."

Lu Yufu was also a little strange, did the old man change his temper today?

Jiang Li looked curiously at the place where the stonemason lived. There was a huge craftsman's furnace and all kinds of strange stones in the yard. One of the huge stones was carved into a lifelike human head, even the eyebrows and beards could be seen. You can see it clearly.

Lu Yufu took some paints from the shelf, put them in several small bags, and handed them to Jiang Tan.

“The portion is not right”

He can only buy a catty of paint for 600 taels at most, but after weighing the bag, it is definitely more than that.

"It's the first time I come here to buy, and the rest is my extra gift"

"Thank you then"

"If you trust me, I'll help you make that sweaty red stone into a paint, and you don't need to pay a penny to make friends."

After these two days of contact, Jiang Li felt that Lu Yufu was still a good friend. After all, the relationship between the painter and the mason was here. Although he had never seen Lu Yufu's work, everyone in the stone house respected him very much. , I think it is also a good player.

"Yes, here you are"

Jiang Greed also directly threw the sweaty red stone to Lu Yufu, and before leaving, he took another look at Lu Yufu's grandfather, who was still drinking like a drunkard, and the two left without saying hello.

"There's something wrong with you today." The old man who usually speaks acrimoniously, only scolded one sentence today?
"Your friend? What's his name?"

"Jiang Li is a painter, even better than Lin Wanxi. In terms of painting skills, I don't think the talented painter in Guzong City who is known as the number one young generation in Yunzhou may be better than him."

The stonemason and the painter belong to mutual achievements, so Lu Yufu also has a certain experience in appreciating paintings, and the picture of a tiger left a deep impression on him.

If the drunken old man heard what Lu Yufu said, he would definitely sneer at him, but this time he was noncommittal.

"Did you see his bookcase?"

Book tubes are often the embodiment of a painter's identity. Lu Yufu recalled that he didn't think Jiang Li's book tubes were special.

“It's normal after a few glances”

"You've lost your eye. This bookcase looks ordinary, but there is a mystery in it. It's impossible for anyone who is not an acquaintance to see it."

"You know?"

"Of course I know, the bookcase belongs to that old man Lu Daoxuan."

"You mean Lu Daoxuan, the great painter in the Wenfu who traveled the world and preached that every phenomenon must be perfect?"

"Is there a second Lu Daoxuan in the world?"

Lu Yufu was a little surprised. If this is the case, then it is not surprising that Jiang Li has such a talent.

Jiang Greed just saw Lu Daoxuan's extraordinary manner and conversation, but he didn't expect Lu Daoxuan to have such a background.

The pen was a gift from Lu Jing, and the paint was purchased by Lu Yufu. The only thing left to deal with was paper and money. Of course, he didn't consider the thousands of taels of clear paper.

After returning to the inn in the city and staying there, it didn't open for a few days. Jiang Li tried his best to plan a big plan to make money, thinking about how to save paint and make money.

Chengjun Academy is a good place to buy and sell paintings, and there are many people who sell paintings and paintings. There are stalls selling calligraphy and paintings along the street, and what they sell are either fake paintings or secretly selling erotic palaces.

Selling erotic pictures?

An idea flashed in Jiang Greed's mind, yes, he can sell erotic pictures!
The more Jiang Gu thinks about it, the more he feels something is going on. First of all, he himself is too young, and a painter is like a Chinese medicine doctor. People who come to him don’t care whether you know it or not. In addition, age is the key. People who buy paintings will never look for him. boy.

Secondly, erotic pictures use very little paint, which saves a lot of expenses, and the requirements for paper are not too high. As long as the paintings are realistic, even if they are painted on toilet paper, people will want them, and you never know what a man will do for them. How much is a erotic picture willing to pay.

Just do what you say, of course it is not vivid enough to conceive out of thin air, Jiang Li began to recall who the most beautiful woman he had ever seen was.

Needless to say, it must be Erika!
Jiang Li immediately spread the paper to grind it, and after holding the pen in his hand, Jiang Li's whole temperament seemed to be a different person.

Light ink draws the outline of the basic shape positioning, Jiang Li's painting skills are superb, and the changes in shades are done in one go, and then a perfect and soft line is drawn in one stroke, and then the blush and powder are applied to sweep the eyebrows.

Like this kind of painting, the most important thing is the figure and long legs, wearing a light gauze and acting frivolously and charmingly!

Naturally, the painting skills of this painting are lacking, and the paint has only been used a little, which has reached the category of low-quality painting.

Jiang Li heard from Lu Daoxuan that painting is divided into three categories, figures, landscapes, and flowers and birds.

Both landscapes and flowers and birds can easily appear painting spirits, so more than [-]% of the world's painters specialize in landscapes, flowers and birds, and few dabble in figure painting.

The painting spirit of figure painting is a special taboo in the painting method. If you want to create a painting spirit of a self-created character, you need to consume several times the spiritual power of the same quality painting.

If the painting is of the dead, it is somewhat similar to the color-painting craftsman, and it is said that it can awaken the souls that have fallen asleep in the underworld.

Therefore, even if the figure painting reaches the middle grade or even the excellent grade, the painting spirit will rarely appear. No matter how much spiritual power is used, it can only make the painting look more vivid and vivid.
