Almighty painter

Chapter 524: One kind of flower, hundreds of words

"That painting——"

Sakai Katsuko patted Gu Weijing's cheek, indicating that he could turn over and change his face, exposing the ear hole on the other side.

Then she continued to laugh: "——The painting where Mr. Cao Xuan said, You are calm, I know how to paint it. This is a secret between the two of us."

Gu Weijing turned his face sideways and rested his head on Miss Shengzi's legs.

Magnolia pieces were floating in the air, and the sunlight passed through the shade of the trees in the old church yard, cut by the shade of the huge old locust tree like whitebait jumping in the air.

The air was given the texture of layers of water waves.

Gu Weijing seemed to remember that day on a small fishing boat in the botanical garden.

He also lay beside the girl like this, looking at the mist shining like clouds under the sunset, and listening to the old piano sound coming from the lake.

It was the most peaceful time he had ever spent in his life.

Shengzi put the magnolia piece on Gu Weijing's nose and rubbed it on his face playfully, "This kind of continuous blood color just fell into the soil casually."

"No, I'm talking about the painting that Mr. Cao mentioned."

"But no matter what kind of brush strokes I change over and over again, or how many times I dye and adjust the color, I will still owe a few points."

Sakai Katsuko sat up straight.

"Yes, that is my painting, and it was also painted for you. My Shengzi is the best." Gu Weijing spoke slowly.

This is one of the Japanese Hundred Harmony Songs.

Shengzi stretched out her palm and dragged a piece of magnolia floating from the air.

perhaps,

"Forehead."

But there is a faint plum-colored trace like a crane's beak at the root, like a lingering blood-colored trace.

Gu Weijing said nothing.

Gu Weijing turned his neck slightly.

"I know, you gave it to Mr. Cao Xuan. It doesn't matter, you don't have to worry. I tried to find a way to let dad take care of Mr. Cao Xuan. It is so meaningful to me. I sincerely explain that I think Cao Xuan is so moral and respected. Old gentleman, you probably won’t steal it from a junior like me.”

“This unique way of expressing thoughts and emotions with brushstrokes may be the most precious, unique and memorable part of a painting,” he said.

"I want it."

"Magnolia?"

"It might be a little difficult, it's out of my hands now."

The petals are as white as jade.

Gu Weijing was startled, "Isn't it just in your hand? Maybe soaking it in water can keep it fresher."

Just a little grassy smell.

"I can draw another one for you." Gu Weijing said.

Magnolia is not a fragrant flower.

"When I hold a petal of a flower, the sky and the earth reflect the color of the elixir. In this petal, I send you hundreds of thoughts. In this petal, there are hundreds of words hidden. Don't underestimate it."

"That's good, so I want it."

Shengzi tapped Gu Weijing's nose with a magnolia piece, showing off the majesty of a rich young woman holding a Citi Private Bank Platinum Card.

The girl held the magnolia piece between her fingers, and her voice was soft and long, as if coming from a very far away place.

Miss Sakai chanted it at this moment, and it also has a Bai Juyi style of sincerity and straightforwardness that can be easily understood by old women and children.

"Even so, I want it, I bought it. No one likes your works more than me, and no one knows how to appreciate your works better than me. If others take it, the pearl will be covered with dust. They want "What I want is speculation. No matter who it is, I will give it to him."

Fujiwara Yukinari is known as the founder of the elegance of Japanese pen and ink. His calligraphy skills were taught by Wang Xi, and his literary style was taught by Bai Letian.

"Otherwise there will be less variety, or it won't look full enough."

Shengzi took out a wet wipe, wiped Gu Weijing's ear, and replied.

"But... this constant process of getting closer to the origin of nature is also the joy of painting. Without that tremor of emotion, no matter how perfect the tone is, it will become hollow." Gu Weijing sniffed.

"No, I want that one. That one is unique and contains hundreds of words. It is the most memorable work." Sakai Katsuko was unusually stubborn.

Waka poetry is inherited from the Han Dynasty Yuefu, and pays attention to rhyme and narrative. Compared with heiyu, the wording is simpler and easier to pronounce.

Ms. Sakai tilted her head and said to the young man: "This is a work completed by the two of us together. It is so precious, so unique, and so memorable. I want to keep it and treasure it for a lifetime."

"Ok?"

It’s also the best time.

"If you had spoken earlier, there should be no problem. However, a few days ago, Cao Xuan's assistant Yang Ge came over just now. He told me that the painting had been taken away by someone else, Mr. Cao. ”

It was written by the great minister and calligrapher of the Heian period, Fujiwara Yukinari, the great minister and calligrapher of the Heian period.

"Nature's shaping of beauty always has aspects beyond the reach of pen and ink."

The petals falling from the branches in late spring are as pale as snow.

"what happened?"

"Even if he wanted $100,000, I would buy this painting." Sakai Katsuko poked him in the head.

One hundred thousand dollars.

Make sense.

Shengzi is right. Under normal circumstances, this is indeed a price that is enough to take back the works of art of most painters in the world.

Don’t look at the top ten painters on the list of richest artists and wish they could sell them for hundreds of millions a year.

Just treat one hundred thousand dollars as money.

One hundred thousand dollars is equivalent to the price of an ordinary work by an international first-tier painter.

Works in this price range are already qualified to be displayed in top galleries such as Gagosian Gallery, and the most sold works by super galleries are also in this range.

An ordinary painter who sells two paintings a year can advance directly to the bottom of the Hurun Art Rich List.

Don't talk about Gu Weijing.

Even if it is a distant Picasso, contemporary art leader Hirst or cultural star Banksy, this kind of existence is outrageously expensive.

Basically, you can’t even think about buying a large oil painting for $100,000.

Art agents will laugh at you for being such a fool.

But at least you can buy some signed prints, Lao Bi's ceramic and silver art works, or small sketches and watercolors.

Moreover.

No one’s money comes from strong winds.

You’ll know it once you’ve been in contact with it.

The portraits of the big collectors in the industry are really not the kind of people who are too lazy to pick up a hundred dollars if they fall on the floor, or "just talk to me about a small business worth tens of thousands of dollars?" I can waste millions of people every minute. Time." Rich brother.

Unless they are customers like the Shah royal family or oil oligarchs who almost don't like to take out food.

otherwise.

Even some investors worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

In the field of art, they often adhere to the Rockefeller-style "smart investment" concept that even if they can make a penny, it is worthy of serious treatment.

Even the terrier-like dog is rumored to be a wealthy Middle Eastern royal family.

They are also divided into two different collection systems: the royal family’s personal collection and a professional investment team like ADIA (Abu Dhabi Investment Authority) Art Project Office.

The latter is a purely profit-making financial institution. As long as you don't really like it from the bottom of your heart.

Or really optimistic about it from the heart.

A work purchased from someone else can be resold for $100,000 in two days. Even if it is a painting bought by Mr. Bill Gates, if you have connections, you will probably be able to sell it.

but.

Gu Weijing felt that Anna Elena might be an exception.

People may really like it and really think that "Wisteria Flower Picture" is worth remembering.

At least, she probably really doesn't care about the one hundred thousand dollars.

At least, one thing is clear - the small gold jewelry that was given to him by the other party in the silk bag in the drawer of Gu Weijing's bedroom cannot be bought with a hundred thousand dollars.

Gu Weijing looked at Miss Shengzi and opened his mouth.

I quickly reviewed the Sloth Strategist's Love Bible in my mind.

then.

He closed his mouth again.

In life, it seems that everyone who has come into contact with Miss Elena will feel that Anna is different.

Perhaps her breath coming from the pile of gold and jade was too heavy.

Maybe she is too beautiful, maybe she is too majestic.

There are so many things about Miss Elena that are different from ordinary people.

Therefore,
There is no clear reason, no one tells you, but you just take it for granted.

It wasn't just Lao Yang who didn't dare to secretly make pornographic jokes about Anna.

Gu Weijing did not dare to mention the other party to Shengzi.

Even if she would rather mention Kou Kou, she is not willing to mention this matter.

really weird.

My family knows their own affairs.

He and Kou Kou really have some uncontrollable natural ambiguity. It's not that he doesn't like Kou Kou, he just knows what he wants, what he should do, and what he shouldn't do. He is very self-disciplined and doesn't want it to become uncontrolled. control.

Hurt two girls.

And the relationship between him and Miss Elena is really just a relationship between a painter and a collector, or at best the relationship between Bole and Maxima.

However, Gu Weijing was able to mention the matter of Kou Kou's birthday gift to Sakai Katsuko very frankly and asked his girlfriend to make the decision.

But it's out of a complicated psychology.

When it came to things about Anna, he just didn't know how to speak.

Probably because Miss Irina is so special.

But Gu Weijing is special.

Ms. Sakai is also special.

There are many young and beautiful girls in the school, and Koko is also very beautiful, but Gu Weijing finds it hard to imagine that Sakai Katsuko would be jealous of any of them.

It's even harder to imagine who Katsuko Sakai would be jealous of.

From the moment she was born, Shengzi had almost no need to be jealous of anyone in this world, and was the one-in-a-million winner in life.

However, what if it was Anna?
Austria has a population of nine million, and the Jelena family was once the fourth richest among them, ranking 69th among the world's richest women.

Even now, she is ranked ninth on the Austrian rich list.

Miss Jelena is truly one in a million.

If you look at the world, it might be one in a million.

When one part in ten thousand meets one part in one hundred million, it immediately becomes a small denominator that only one in ten thousand people can produce.

It's not that Gu Wei's nerves are sensitive.

But...it's so pitiful that Shengzi is such a soft, gentle, and good-natured girl!
Who would have thought that when such a young lady was watching a mobile video together, she would suddenly throw out a question without any precautions, "In the eyes of boys, which one of us is more beautiful? Is she much prettier than me?"

This is comparable to the classic fatal question of which one of your girlfriend and mother will you save first if they fall into the water?

I almost dug a hole and buried Gu Weijing on the spot.

"Hmm... hum, you just said that there are hundreds of words hidden in these petals, and you also said that the color of the magnolia pieces, no matter how you dye or mix the colors on the canvas, is it not even close to the meaning?"

Gu Weijing suddenly said, "Since you like this unique color, I will try to give you this unique color."

"You mean?" Shengzi lowered his head and frowned slightly.

"I'll make you a bet. Do you believe it? I can create interesting textures and brushstrokes on the canvas without using a brush?"

Gu Weijing saw that Shengzi was indeed diverted from the dangerous topic just now.

He immediately gave a thumbs up to his cleverness in his heart.

"Romance, the key to romance is a tacit understanding, and love is a brilliant spark inspired by tacit understanding. Talking to your lover more about topics that interest both parties can eliminate most unpleasantness and hidden emotional turmoil." - "Sloth" Chief Military Advisor

The words of the love guru, hey, are philosophical.

He said "Ahhh", bit Katsuko's finger, and picked up the white magnolia petal from Miss Sakai's fingertips.

Gu Weijing sat up from Miss Sakai's knees, walked to the easel on the side, and compared the magnolia in his hand with the magnolia on the painting.

The last magnolia fragment on the flower tree in the sky has just fallen from the tree.

But on Ms. Katsuko’s canvas, there is still a scene of bright magnolias adorning the branches in April.

"how do you want to do it?"

Sakai Shengzi's eyes lit up, she ran to Gu Weijing and asked with great interest.

The color of the magnolia flowers in Katsuko's painting is like the candlelight behind the stained glass in the oil painting "Old Church on a Thunderstorm Day".

They are all places that test the painter's ability to handle paint.

of course.

This magnolia flower is not in the center of the picture, nor is it as colorful as the candlelight.

But the magnolia tree is almost directly facing the sun in the sky. It has the most brilliant colors and the most obvious light contrast in the picture. It is also the most effective in the distant view when the audience appreciates the profile of the Jasmine girl sitting side by side with Nga Wang. Bright colors that enhance the atmosphere.

The color matching of magnolia paintings is inherently difficult in color processing.

It doesn't require as much skill as flickering candlelight.

The colors are simple but difficult to paint well.

There are literally only three colours.

Big white, big green, big red.

All three are vulgar and elegant colors.

White petals, green leaves, red roots.

The overall white, as prosperous as a sea of ​​flowers, can be used as the background of the entire picture, but the remaining red and green colors match well, with red lingering and green fresh.

And once it is not handled properly, it will become red with green, a rural Shamat Auto Parts City style that even a dog will dislike.

It's very difficult to draw.

This had troubled Shengzi for a very long time.
