Almighty painter

Chapter 233 Wall Dong
"I forgot to mention it in class just now. You, you, you...and you, give me the portfolios you have prepared. If you don't bring them today, then the next class, I have a little free time on the weekend, you can check it Take a look at the progress of your portfolio."

Professor Vatel returned to the classroom without looking at the students who were playing games under the table or sleeping secretly.

He just walked between the desks and called a few names.

From one week after the course started, the classwork was actually collected sparsely.

Painting the grid with a sketch pencil is quite a laborious job.

In terms of practice techniques, it is not too difficult. It is not as difficult as painting complex still life arrangements, let alone the complex small folds on the faces of old men and women.

But it's boring.

The main test is a stillness.

Every practitioner needs to calm down and endure loneliness.

It is definitely not easy to paint well and quickly, and you must have the level of a professional painter.These high school students blindly pursue speed and speed, and it is easy to lose sight of one another, and instead paint a mess.

But if you are serious enough, you are not afraid of taking a long time to paint, and you can calm down and paint slowly one stroke at a time.

So even beginners who have just learned art can still start this kind of practice and draw well.

"It depends on whether they have the intention." Teacher Vatel thought to himself.

"Teacher, it's not fair! Why do you only show it to these students and not to the rest of us." Some students were dissatisfied with the sketch teacher's blatantly different treatment of students, and muttered in a low voice.

Professor Vatel shook his head, his square Chinese character face was full of disdain.

"Who else wants me to read the portfolio? The homework drafts submitted by all of you are still in my office. I will go find them now. If I can find more than eight homeworks that I think I am serious about, I will not sleep today." Change it for you. Shut up if you can’t find it.”

Vettel suppressed all dissatisfied opinions with one sentence with a blank face.

He didn't like those lying-down students who were neither talented nor able to do even the most basic efforts.

If you want to go on in the art industry for a long time, hard work is the bottom line of success.

Only by putting in 99% of your efforts can you be eligible to win the 1% chance of luck and appreciation from noble people.

Otherwise, what do you compare with those talented geniuses who were born to eat this bowl of rice?
This is not a game of the tortoise and the hare.

The genius might be more curvy than you in private!
Professor Vettel himself is the kind of art student who has worked hard and still has not had enough luck.

He knew that his sketching level was above the passing line for signing a gallery, but he was not lucky enough to be spotted by a hunter agent.

In the end, I can only be an art teacher with a monthly salary of not high or low in a private school.

Therefore, Professor Vatel has more understanding and sympathy for those children who are not lucky enough to be selected by Mrs. Sakai's improvement class, but still work hard meticulously.

We're all just ordinary people who worked hard enough and weren't lucky enough.

In the past few days, he planned to select a few students in the classroom who listened carefully to the class and handed in their homework seriously.

Mr. Vatel hoped that they would submit their portfolios in preparation and review them by themselves.

It is also very energy-consuming to follow up and revise the student art collection meticulously.

Teachers teaching large classes do not have the responsibility to provide private instruction.

Professor Vatel is still willing to give them a small talk, talking about his personal creative experience and some tips for applying for interviews.

God helps those who help themselves.

A child who is willing to seize every opportunity to work hard, as a teacher, he is willing to take the trouble to give a hand when he can.

"Gu Weijing?"

Professor Vatel walked around the classroom, and finally walked to the corner of the classroom.

He was satisfied when he saw that Gu Weijing was practicing hard on the sketch paper.

Just as he was about to reach out and tap on the desk to remind the kid, Professor Vatel's hand suddenly froze.

The sketch professor stared at Gu Weijing's pen tip.

When Vettel first looked at it when he walked in, he just realized that Gu Weijing's drawing method on the sketch paper was not what he wanted.

It seems that the final painting effect is not bad.

What attracts the professor even more is that when he uses a pen, he has a confident temperament all over his body.

"You are not very young, but the state of painting is a bit like an artist." Professor Vatel smiled kindly in his heart.

But when Professor Vettel stood in front of Gu Weijing, concentrating on savoring again.

The whole person is directly a shock.

"Uh……"

His breathing suddenly stopped, his pupils trembled, and his fluffy blond hair was about to explode from the roots.

Professor Vatel felt that his head had been hit by a big mouth, and he was dizzy from being pumped, and he was a little dazed.

What is this?

Gan, is this the sketch class assignment I assigned?
Can this thing still draw like this?
what,
How the hell is this drawn?

Professor Vatel looked at the squares on the paper that were covered with various lines. The fine lines vented from the central point and spread out to the surroundings, forming a triangular plane with different shadow details.

The two-dimensional plane shows the texture of three-dimensional space.

Obviously, there is only a small square in front of him.

But Professor Vatel can even artistically imagine it as Egypt under the setting sun, and the Pyramid of Khufu overlooking it from a high altitude.

Sunlight streams on the surface.

The different mottled surfaces of the square pyramid form different light and dark contrasts due to the different intensity of light.

This sketch practice—no, this kind of small grid filled with Gu Jing’s personal creativity, in the eyes of Professor Vettel, can already be separated from the scope of practice, and can be regarded as a simple geometric sketch.

The sketch itself was good, but not to the point where it deserved Professor Vatel's shock.

Make sense,
It's just a top view of a quadrangular pyramid with light and shadow effects.

Drawing geometric plaster models, conical spheres and even various crooked asymmetric figures are the basic skills for art students to learn sketching.

The base is a square pyramid without curved surfaces, and the light and shadow changes are not complicated.

Just take a child from Dulwich's sixth or seventh grade art class, and you can draw such a shadowless overhead view.

What really made Professor Vettel's heart swell, and he was so shocked that he wanted to swallow his tongue into his mouth...

He could tell that all the strokes of this sketch were drawn by Gu Weijing with an ordinary 2B pencil from the beginning to the end!

Graphite pencils have different manufacturing processes, the larger the B value is, the thicker and softer it is, and the larger the H value is, the harder and lighter it is.

The soft and hard texture of the pen tip can also bring lead quality with different adhesion, leaving pictures of different thicknesses on the sketch paper.

In theory,
High-hardness lead is suitable for painting on brighter surfaces and when it is necessary to modify the details of the work in depth.

Use a thicker graphite pen for backlit planes.

Usually 6B to 4H pencils are the usual alternatives for art students to draw sketches, and they are used to draw different light and shadow changes.

In front of Gu Weijing, most likely, it is for the convenience of painting the grid. He only used a sketch pencil to complete all the work.

Also very well done!

The three colors of black, white and gray that can be seen in the top view of the quadrangular pyramid that can be seen in the picture.

In essence, it is a light and shadow gradient shown by a pen according to the density of the lines and the weight of the pen, so that the layers of lead adhered to the paper are different.

The precision of this brush is simply wonderful!

"Outrageous."

Professor Vatel has always been proud of the level of his sketching skills.

Even compared to the professors in Dulwich College campuses in more developed cities such as Cairo, Bangkok, and Yokohama, Vettel's sketching level may as well be better.

Looking at the whole of Myanmar, there are definitely not many people who can have his pen skills.

Vatel quietly estimated in his heart,
If he was given enough time, he might be able to draw at most with a sketch pencil to the level of the student in front of him.

And Gu Weijing even drew it in a small square with restrictions everywhere in the short period of time in class!

All the brush strokes left by him are very "full".

Neither overstepped the line nor lacked the slightest bit.

It stopped abruptly at the border of the square, as if hitting an air wall.

And the charming swirl lines drawn by Gu Weijing on other grids made Professor Vatel think of Van Gogh directly.

It's just that Gu Weijing's brushstrokes do not have the impulsiveness and passion of Van Gogh, but they are more regular and concise than Van Gogh.

Van Gogh liked to use swirls to depict thick and compact pines and cypresses.

The lines drawn by Gu Weijing are as fine as the wind cutting the grass.

There is a flowing rhythm in the still picture.

The curves are infinitely close to the precision of half a millimeter but separated from each other, making it easy for Professor Vatel's eyes to fall into them.

God!

Professor Vatel opened his mouth. He has a thousand words to say now, and his mind seems to be filled with a whole movie of [-] whys.

The words were stuck in my throat.In the end, by accident, it became the vocabulary he learned a few years ago from the parents of a Dongxia businessman who had been engaged in jade gambling business in Yangon for a long time——

"NewBee."

The old professor let out a well-spoken admiration.

Gu Weijing painted so well that he didn't even notice that Professor Vatel ran to his side.

The sudden "beautiful" sound startled him so much that Hao Xuan didn't throw all the pencils out together.

As soon as he turned his head, he saw the sketch professor staring at him with big copper bell-like eyes.

Professor Vatel took the sketch paper in front of Gu Weijing.

The teacher didn't speak either.

The professor just stared at the sketch paper in front of him for a few seconds, then turned his head to stare at Gu Weijing, then stared at the sketch paper, and then stared at Gu Weijing.

It's just like this endless cycle of behaving weirdly, like a robot stuck in a bug.

Gu Weijing was taken aback by the old gentleman.

"Professor, I'm sorry, I want to try a different painting method. Do you have any good guidance or suggestions?"

Gu Weijing took the initiative to break the weird atmosphere.

"Sorry? It's painted like this, what do you have to be sorry for?"

Professor Vettel heyed and shook the paper in his hand. "I'm sorry that Dulwich College can only send teachers of my level to teach you?"

"Ask me if you have any good guidance, classmate, I can't draw such a picture. Hell, I've been talking on stage for so many days." Professor Vatel smiled wryly.

"Otherwise, you should come and guide me. You don't need to take this class at all."

His words were joking, but there was sincerity in his tone.

In modern schools,

It is not surprising that the students' subject strength is stronger than that of the teacher.

Whether it is because of extracurricular self-study or tutoring classes, many academic masters can solve difficult problems that teachers cannot solve.

If you play in the Olympiad, you can win the provincial award or even enter the national training team. It will not be too easy to kill an ordinary high school physics high school chemistry teacher.

Art is a special case.

Because art is really a purely technical discipline.

Whether it is art or music, the accumulation of techniques takes time to accumulate.

At the same time, if the students do not have the guidance of a better teacher than him.The speed of progress will slow down, and you may not even know where your efforts should be.

Ordinary people don't have such a simple and crude method of adding experience to the system.

The general rule is that art subjects often have to change teachers after they have learned a certain level.

Those who are musical geniuses and artistic geniuses in history, the principal violinist of the symphony orchestra can be admitted to the famous students of the four major art academies-it is not unusual to change five or six private teachers at different stages of study from childhood to adulthood.

At the beginning, I learned from a certain teacher, but the teacher was too good to teach me.It is not uncommon in the art industry to be recommended to learn from the teacher's teacher at the beginning.

Otherwise, like Sakai Katsuko, she has studied with famous masters since she was a child.

"Now every student draws like this. Damn, my level is so high, my teacher is under a lot of pressure!"

Although I don't want to admit it.

After carefully studying Gu Weijing's works, Professor Vatel came to a conclusion.

This guy's sketch level should be better than his own.

All the students watched Mr. Vatel's appearance, and there was a burst of surprised murmurs in Dulwich's classroom.

They have been taking classes in school for so many years, when can they see the bully Germanic sketch professor showing such an expression to a student's work.

Gu Weijing belongs to the class with good grades, and the evaluation of sketch class is often A.

It's just someone who can get an A, and he's not the only one.

Those who were selected by Mrs. Sakai to go to the advanced class have never seen anyone make Professor Vatel so gaffe.

Could it be that this kid suddenly chewed the elixir?

"You are overrated."

As the central focus of people's discussions, Gu Weijing was a little embarrassed to be praised by Professor Vatel.

This old man still took good care of himself in the past.

"I've also thought about reputation. I have good line skills, so I can draw whatever I have time. The pen and ink on paper are the most deceiving. It's hard for me to draw this sketch so well."

Professor Vatel was amazed.

Facing such a level of sketching, Professor Vettel even felt a little guilty.

I really don't deserve to teach such a student by myself, and it's a bit of a mistake to mislead the children and delay others.

Apart from embarrassment, Professor Vettel is more confused and puzzled.

He is clear about the overall level of the graduate students. Gu Weijing is one of the good candidates, and the level still needs to be polished.

It's only been a vacation,
The painting in Vettel's hands now has grown trunks and branches from a good seedling.

The towering trees are too exaggerated, and it can be seen that the embryonic form of a mature artist is really not fake at all.

It also grows too fast.

"Gu Weijing, did you hire an external tutor for you during the holidays, or did you attend some art training classes?"

Professor Vatel's guess.

He was curious about what kind of sketch tutor could have such a good effect.

If there is really a famous teacher to teach him, he can improve as if he has taken aphrodisiac.

Professor Vatel is also going to turn around and enroll himself in a class, even if it costs hundreds or thousands of dollars, he is happy.

After all, Professor Vatel spent most of his life on a pencil.

At his age, he doesn't really think about signing galleries or anything.It is always very good to simply touch the higher realm of sketching techniques.

"I just figured it out by myself, and I got a feeling when I painted."

"That's it, that's a sudden enlightenment. You're a bit fierce in your enlightenment."

A look of disappointment appeared on Mrs. Vatel's face.

The professor had an answer in his mind.

The art industry pays attention to inspiration and epiphany.

The urban legend that Mozart fell down the stairs as a child, hit his head, and went on to become a musical prodigy is not very credible.

There is an art student who suddenly seems to be enlightened while painting, and it often happens that his painting skills suddenly jump to a higher level in a short period of time.

Facing the facts before us,
Professor Vatel can only attribute the answer to this reason.

"Look at this painting. I told you to paint the small grid with a pencil. You are still too tired to practice. At first glance, it seems that the three melons and two dates in my pen can already be used. It's on the table."

"Look at the sketches of some of your classmates who also come to class with a schoolbag on their backs every day! I don't ask you all to draw like Gu Weijing, but I ask you to open your eyes and take a good look at it. Look at this rounded pen, look at this exquisite control. Whoever said that if he is not picked by Professor Cruz, he can't shine by himself!"

Professor Vatel looked a little refreshed at this sketch.

He couldn't help showing off the paper in front of him to all the students present.

Those who work in the profession of teachers rarely have teachers who don't like good students.

How dizzy they are to criticize the unqualified homework every day, and how clear their eyes and ears are when they see a paper with a perfect score.

In addition to the beneficial factors such as the "bonuses" and "excellent teacher" titles that students from prestigious schools can get, it is also very refreshing to simply look at their homework.

It's like practicing a perfect trumpet in a game.

Professor Vatter is really excited right now.

"Awesome, this painting showing the basic skills of sketching can be hung directly on the publicity board in the school to show the achievements of sketching teaching in our school!" He said.

"Wow, it's so beautiful."

"This vortex makes my eyes dizzy."

Some students chimed in.

"You didn't ask us to draw like this. It's just that the lines are a little messy. Draw slowly, and everyone can draw it." Some people still don't think so.

Appreciation of beauty is also a kind of cultivation.

And such a cultivation base has never been possessed by everyone.

"Everyone can draw it?" Professor Vettel laughed angrily, "With this hand sketch without looking at anything else, the interviewer at the school recruitment fair will snatch him, believe it or not."

The professor didn't say the last half of the sentence.

Just with this hand sketch... most of the others here, maybe all of them, may not be able to draw in their entire lives.

The art business is cruel like that.

"You don't have to bother with my homework in the future. I use this painting of yours, and I took it away."

Professor Vatel is not interested in explaining the beauty of Gu Weijing's pen to those useless people who put their masterpieces in front of them and are unwilling to bow their heads to appreciate them.

He took Gu Weijing's sketch paper, turned around and walked out of the classroom.

……

"Hey, classmate Gu. Why are you avoiding me?"

Gu Weijing walked out of the classroom which had started to become noisy.

This was originally a class assignment, and since he wanted to draw it like this, he expected that Professor Vatel would be surprised.

It's just that I didn't expect Professor Vettel to deal with his works in such a high-profile manner.

Gu Weijing was not used to dealing with this kind of scene surrounded by classmates, so he quickly walked around a few corners and walked into a secluded corridor in a hurry.

He suddenly felt someone patting his back.

Gu Weijing turned his head and saw Kou Kou standing behind him.

I have to say that the style of dressing is really the innate ability or talent of some girls.

Obviously everyone wears the same school uniform every day, but the cheerleaders can wear different effects every day.

Kou Kou didn't wear her favorite iconic cool little skull earrings today, and a small sequin-like ear sticker was stuck on her earlobe.

He wore a baseball cap on his head, and his long hair was braided from the back of his head to his shoulders.

She was wearing the trousers she wore during the painting and sketching class today, and Kou Kou had worn out a few holes on her knees and calves.

Don't be surprised, the girl did it on purpose.

Kou Kou manually transformed the cotton school trousers into trendy ripped jeans. With the magnolia brooch pinned on the chest, it looks like a mix of fashion and sports.

Sometimes, it really makes people feel emotional, it's a pity that Kou Kou will not become a female star in the future.

"Professor Vettel actually doesn't ask for classwork now, and many students in the class don't draw too seriously. So I don't think you need to ask me to do homework."

Gu Weijing smiled.

Since half a month ago, he deliberately avoided the seat next to Kou Kou.

Kou Kou rolled her eyes at Gu Wei Jing.

She took a step forward, squeezed Gu Weijing to the wall, and leaned against the wall with her hand.

Practicing dancing and learning fencing made Kou Kou's figure very smooth. Her figure was originally taller than Sakai Katsuko, about 1.7 meters two.When standing on tiptoe, he was on par with Gu Weijing.

Kou Kou succeeded with a wall-dong.

"Answer my question." Kou Kou tilted her arms forward, leaning one hand on the wall, looking straight into Gu Weijing's eyes: "Why are you avoiding me?"
