Almighty painter

Chapter 354 Mature
Two 10 minutes later.

Kazunari Sakai, who survived the disaster and was as limp as mud, sat in the rest area of ​​the gym, carefully holding the small cup of suspicious green liquid with both hands.

The way he sipped it was like an explorer who lost his way in the primitive jungle and had a complicated psychology of disgust and curiosity when he found edible bear dung.

"It's vegetable juice with added vitamins and minerals. I deliberately changed the ingredients from kale to celery. Doesn't it taste better? It can also add fiber by the way."

The coach was also holding a large glass of vegetable juice with a small amount of milk and natural animal cream beside him, and drank it with relish.

Uncle Sakai didn't have the strength to speak.

He moved his gym bag, took out a towel and wiped the sweat randomly, then took out his mobile phone and headphones, wanting to look at his mobile phone for a while.

The screen lights up.

The screensaver cover is the beautiful poster of the 2022 Victoria's Secret underwear show with the theme of "Scar Goddess".

Professor Sakai changed into a comfortable position, leaned back on the chair, and rolled his eyes twice, feeling a little more energetic.

In the pain of fat burning, only the reverie of promising rewards to his wife could revive Professor Sakai's hope in life.

"Nowadays, the shapes of Victoria's Secret Angels are all weird and weird. Art can be avant-garde where form is greater than content, but underwear is not necessary. Apart from anything else, the buling buling crystal inlays on it don't feel uncomfortable to the touch. Hands? The two shows of Sexy Candy and Russian Baby in the early years are still the best."

Kazunari Sakai first criticized the aesthetic degradation of the Victoria's Secret curator with a critical eye.

Just when he was about to open Instagram and check out the supermodel girls, he noticed his daughter’s missed call in the status bar.

"I'll make a call."

Uncle Sakai waved his arm towards the coach and dialed the phone back with his fat fingers like little carrots.

His daughter is his caring little cotton-padded jacket, much cuter than Tsuna Chang who was in his rebellious youth period.

Especially the news that Katsuko's article in "Asian Art" has basically been confirmed has made Kazunari Sakai look at him for a few hours, even when he was like a dead pig hanging on a pull-up machine, he came to the fitness class. other professors from the same school.

His little eyes were also filled with arrogance.

When he reaches his position, he still has ambitions, but if his works sell for [-] or [-] million yen more and sell for [-] or [-] million yen less, that's all.

What really makes him proud is a pair of children.

While the sons and daughters of other great artists are busy playing with luxury cars, going hunting in Africa, smoking leaves, and showing off their family's luxury collections on Instagram and YouTube.

My son Shengzi is already going to receive AHCI.

I am middle-aged, my wife is beautiful and in good shape, and my daughter is well-behaved and cute.

Uncle Sakai is dissatisfied, but whoever is dissatisfied is dissatisfied.

"Hey, Katsuko, congratulations, I saw your message, it's great..." Kazunari Sakai lowered his head and took a sip of celery juice, "Hmm... um... what, you want me to give you some advice? What works are you famous for participating in the exhibition?"

Face this request.

Professor Sakai patted his belly and pretended to think.

"Let that kid beg me for this kind of thing. Besides, he has his own teacher. That kid always refuses to come over and be my student. It's hard for me to do that. I also want to save face, your dad." Where are the people."

Uncle Sakai said to Katsuko mostly jokingly, but partly seriously.

Professor Kazunari Sakai admired Gu Weijing from the very first time they met.

Carrying a crowbar and digging for a long time, Professor Lin Tao couldn't find a corner.

Seeing the little native pig that his daughter likes always trying to get into other people's pig pens makes Professor Sakai, who is conjoined and fat, a little unhappy.

Oh shit.

I am really awesome, awesome, awesome!

Is that guy Lin Tao rushing to find a gallery for you?The key is...Does Lin Tao have a beautiful daughter at home for you to pick up?

What's going on!

I, the dignified Kazunari Sakai, want to give you some advice, but why don’t you rush over to me to become my disciple?Besides, in Kazunari Sakai's mind, to put it harshly, Chinese painting is really practiced by Asians or Asian immigrants all over the world, and oil painting is the avenue with a higher market ceiling.

Even if he wants to ride in two boats, he can enjoy the benefits and connections of both Lin Tao and Kazunari Sakai at the same time.

I always have to come to him to beg him several times and flatter him. After Uncle Sakai enjoys the compliment and is happy being patted, he reluctantly gives pointers to this kid.

Shengzi turned her arms outward.

It seemed as if his name as Sakai Kazunari was no longer valuable.

"Humph, kid, you know how much connections and connections a Japanese entrepreneur would need to put a student into my studio, and how much money it would cost."

Kazunari Sakai curled his lips and swayed his big belly, feeling that his value was not fully valued by his daughter's boyfriend.

"Dad, please help me, you are the best." My daughter's soft and waxy voice came from the phone receiver, "I also learned a lot from Gu Jun. Today he told me a theory about apples. …”

"Um, uh, huh?"

Kazunari Sakai leaned back in his chair and squinted his eyes, lazily listening to his daughter's voice.

He originally just wanted to tease Shengzi, tease her, listen to her daughter's praise, and finally agreed to her request.

But after hearing this, Kazunari Sakai straightened up slightly.

"Painting sunshine is like painting rotten apples, eh, this is quite interesting."

Uncle Sakai praised softly.

He rubbed his chin, which had just lost weight to five levels due to three days of high-intensity training, and smacked the taste for a while.

"However, everyone will say that beautiful principles can be expressed, but it is not certain whether they can be painted with some true meaning."

"Forget it, let's do it this way. Seeing as that kid is very sensible and lists you as a co-author, your dad will take the trouble to enlighten him. The last time I saw his base map, it was better than the originality, but If we want to show off enough at this year’s Lion City Biennale, there is still a lot of room for us to show off.”

When the final paper is submitted to the journal.

Gu Weijing took the initiative to put Sakai Katsuko's name as the co-author, rather than the second author.

Many schools in Asia only recognize the first-ranked "joint author" when they graduate with doctoral and master's degrees. However, in the Western world (especially Europe), it is generally believed that even if they are joint first authors, their contributions to scientific research results and articles are different.

By default, the author who writes first contributes more than 60% to the whole process, and the author who writes later contributes about 30% to the process.

even so.

One work is one work.

Ranked last, it is also very fundamentally different from the second author.

This heavyweight paper fell from the sky, and Shengzi was able to find a co-author position.On this point, everyone from Kazunari Sakai to his wife was very satisfied with Gu Weijing.

Come to think of it, this kid is pretty good at being a human being.

"Shengzi, you can have a facetime meeting, turn on the camera, and watch your dad take action and train your little boyfriend. He will definitely fall into admiration and his level will rise. Tell Gu Weijing that I am quite strict. Yes." Uncle Sakai vowed.

"Then please."

He remembered that he hadn't seen Gu Weijing's paintings for a while, so he opened his daughter Katsuko Sakai's Instagram and took another look at the half of the base picture she had uploaded some time ago.

When Hanks, the agent of Ma Shi Gallery, first met, he could see the youthfulness of Gu Weijing's painting method.

Uncle Sakai believes that although he does not have many opportunities to come into contact with this kind of painting method, there are many places where he can provide criticism from a high-level perspective.

In the field of art, only with criticism can there be progress.

When Cao Xuan taught disciples like Lin Tao, he would always scold them head-on. This was how he did it when he was his master's disciple.

If you have a bad mentality and can't stand being scolded, don't make this money.

After he really started to gain some fame, there were few internationally renowned art criticism magazines that were not venomous enough to criticize people.

"Kid, prepare for a storm of criticism. Just think of it as a preview before going on the stand in the second half of the year."

In front of his wife, Professor Sakai is a well-behaved and fat sheep who can only bark.

But in front of students, he was still very dignified. There were several times when he scolded the strong and sunny boy in the studio until he burst into tears.

Uncle Sakai held his neck high, with a dangerous and sharp light in his pupils.
-
Sakai Katsuko took her mobile phone and walked back to the studio from the corridor.

at this time.

Gu Weijing also completed the drawing of all the main structural shapes on the canvas based on the line drafts and base drawings, leaving only some final small color mixing and overall paint adjustments.

At this point.

The final appearance of the oil painting has already been drawn.

If you use the traditional thin coating method or the over-dye method of covering acrylic with oil, you need to wait a day or two for the canvas to dry before applying a final layer of color.

The way he now combines painting, he doesn't need to layer the paint, just add a little embellishment on top and it's done.

Gu Weijing's paintings are very detailed.

After an afternoon of running-in with each other, the three professional second-level techniques became more and more smooth and smooth.

The pages of a book seemed to be turning rapidly in his mind, and the templates from "Lang Shining's New Body Painting" flashed across the knowledge cards.

Even though there are systematic knowledge cards to help.

Gu Weijing used to occasionally be confused as to why certain brushstrokes looked strange.Finally, when the proficiency in all three painting methods has been completed.

He completely understood how this top ten painter of the Qing Dynasty painted.

Historically, Castiglione's painting methods were very complex.

People like Gu Weijing, whose ancestors were court painters, know best that it would be ridiculous for people who work in this profession to earn royal food and want to talk about artistic autonomy.

You can draw whatever His Majesty asks you to draw.

What kind of painting method is required for you to adopt?

When Castiglione was painting, in many cases he was deciding whether to use form or freehand brushwork, and whether he wanted to be "Western-style" or not.

The imperial edicts of Emperor Qianlong in the Qing palace archives were all clearly arranged.

Therefore, among the works he left behind, there are both oil paintings and Chinese paintings. There are even a few cases where he used a brush to paint oil paintings, or used an oil brush to outline meticulous lines.

This unique and unconventional way of working makes Castiglione's painting techniques extremely versatile and integrates many different art theories.

The unique palace painter system often requires him to break the rules.

Got it.

Fan brush, hazel brush, flat brush.

Pat, rub, line, sweep, stamp...

Various brushstrokes are used alternately in different places by Gu Weixin's hand.

Sometimes, he even holds an oil paint brush in his hand, but he is not limited to the use and shape of the oil paint brush, and uses the side-edge outline that is only used with a brush.

Whatever you think about, be at ease.

As the last layer of window paper was pierced.

Gu Weijing was completely immersed in the joy of painting, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth involuntarily.

"Gu Jun? My dad came in and wanted to see how your painting went."

Sakai Katsuko tapped her shoulder, called Gu Weijing to the side, and turned over her phone.

"Uncle Sakai, good evening. Please forgive me."

Gu Weijing waved the paintbrush in his hand and greeted Uncle Sakai's iconic round face on the screen that almost filled the entire screen.

She didn't know what Shengzi's father was doing, but his whole face looked oily and smooth.

Kazunari Sakai hummed in a low voice, looking serious and unsmiling.

"Gu Weijing, I can teach you, you can... However, I don't know how Professor Lin Tao teaches you. I am a very demanding person, and I am never polite when I teach students to draw. The ugly words come to the front, If you feel uncomfortable, you can hang up the phone. I am still my daughter's boyfriend, and I am still the kind and kind uncle Sakai. If you are willing to let me teach you, then I will no longer be an uncle, at least on this end of the phone. During the time, you have to treat me as your teacher! In the face of criticism, you have to-"

Kazunari Sakai turned his head and glanced at the bald physical trainer next to him, and said with a raised chest and belly: "Well, you also have to show your manly nature. Can you use setbacks as motivation?"

"Dad, Gu Jun's paintings are very good." Shengzi sniffed at the side.

"Quiet, Shengzi, this is an agreement between us men. Good or bad is just what you think. Since you have spoken, I cannot ask him according to the standards of an art student. The second is to show the judges of the Lion City Art Exhibition. standards. I am your judge, and before this standard, you are still too immature." Uncle Sakai said fiercely.

Gu Weijing nodded again.

Only a strict teacher can produce a good disciple. His grandfather Gu Tongxiang also believed this since he was a child.

"Okay. You continue to draw. Shengzi, hold up your phone and take pictures with the main camera at the back."

While Gu Weijing was painting, he listened to Uncle Sakai's voice pointing out the country.

"If you want to win a prize, in my opinion, you have a chance, but not very good. Including you, Shengzi, you can only rely on luck... Zoom in closer... Even if I use a relationship to find someone, why? Because Singapore The art exhibition is a very mature art exhibition, but your painting method is too immature, like a high school student carefully driving a racing car. Unless... focus and turn off the portrait mode. I am looking at the painting, not your man. friend's……"

Professor Sakai's voice stuttered, and his powerful voice suddenly became softer.

"Unless... come up with such a piece of work."

"What a great painting."
