Reborn as a great painter, with a system, you can be willful

Professor Qin's office.

Because of one of Jiang Zhe's works, the two people became more and more interested in the conversation.

"By chance, I have visited some foreign museums and I have some feelings. When it comes to classical paintings, Europe still has a richer heritage than the United States. However, at the end of the 19th century, the French still looked down on Impressionism and did not pay enough attention to Impressionist and modernist paintings, so many of them were bought by Americans."

Professor Qin talked about his experience and said, "For example, many important works of Renoir in his later years are in the United States. Many works of other modernist masters are also in the United States.

Of course, if you want to see masterpieces from the Renaissance to the Baroque, you still have to go to Europe. To see Rembrandt's great works, you have to go to the Netherlands, where the Hermitage Museum also has them.

Almost all of Velázquez's masterpieces are in Madrid.

If you have the chance in the future, you must go and see it more often. "

Jiang Zhe felt that he had gained a lot from his two trips abroad, and that he would have more opportunities in the future so he continued to broaden his horizons.

After leaving Professor Qin's office, Jiang Zhe returned to the studio to continue to complete his sketch. He estimated the time and came to the school art gallery. He saw Wang Zhen's car parked not far from the art gallery.

He walked over and saw Wang Zhen sitting in the car from the side, so he walked up and knocked on the window.

Wang Zhen turned his head and saw Jiang Zhe coming, so he opened the car door and got out.

She saw that Jiang Zhe was holding a small portrait and asked, "Is this a new work?"

Jiang Zhe replied: "Yes, I knew you were coming, so I brought the new work here and asked you to help frame it."

"Don't worry, leave it to me."

Jiang Zhe knew that Wang Zhen came to help Lan Xin transport the works, so he asked, "Is Lan Xin not here yet?"

"They are already here. I asked the workers to help her move the works."

Jiang Zhe nodded.

Wang Zhen continued, "You told me that the selection will be held in the art museum. I asked someone and found out that there is some truth to this matter."

"Oh, what's the situation?" Jiang Zhe asked.

Wang Zhen said: "There are quite a few people from several art schools in Binhai City who were selected for the city's selection. Most of the works of professional teachers in your school were selected, and there were also many student works selected. Therefore, several social art groups and institutions, especially some professional painters, have complaints about this matter. Some people even found the Artists Association and the Federation of Literary and Art Circles.

Your school took the initiative to propose that the selection be held here, but some people disagreed. "

Jiang Zhe suddenly realized: "Before, I heard Teacher Hu say a few words, and it seemed to mean the same thing."

Wang Zhen said: "I am a little worried that a large number of students from your school may fail in this selection.

Especially after these opinions, it is very disadvantageous to you. "

Jiang Zhe said: "If it is not selected, the painting will be sent to auction."

Wang Zhen smiled and said: "I don't think it's a big problem whether your work will be selected. If someone wants to remove your work, they have to find a reason that convinces the public, which is very difficult.

I am worried about Mou Xing and Lan Xin. Their works are really dangerous, not to mention their quality. They are not famous enough, and there is a high possibility that…"

She didn't say it too specifically, but Jiang Zhe could understand it.

“Among professional painters, there are too many Chinese paintings and calligraphy works selected.” Before Wang Zhen finished speaking, Lan Xin and the workers were carrying the works and walking out of the art gallery.

Wang Zhen immediately said to Jiang Zhe: "Don't show this in front of Lan Xin. I have always encouraged her to participate in various competitions."

Jiang Zhe nodded.

The two of them went over to help.

Lan Xin greeted Jiang Zhe, and the workers said they didn't need to intervene. After delivering the works to the car, Lan Xin saw Jiang Zhe taking another painting to frame it and said, "You are too hardworking."

Jiang Zhe replied: "It's just a practice. So I drew it quickly."

Wang Zhen got in the car and said to Lan Xin, "Keep your painting in the gallery for a few days. Send it there together with Jiang Zhe and others' paintings before the selection."

"Thank you, Manager Wang." Lan Xin agreed.

"Hey, do you want to go home? I'll take you back." Wang Zhen asked.

"No need to see me off, you can go back first." Lan Xin replied.

"Okay, we'll go first." Wang Zhen waved at the two of them.

The car starts.

Jiang Zhe watched the car drive away and said to Lan Xin, "You want to go home? That's great. I'll drive back and give you a ride."

"I trouble you every time." Lan Xin hesitated.

"Let's go back. Go get your things, I'll wait for you in the parking lot." Jiang Zhe said.

Soon, Jiang Zhe drove away from school with Lan Xin.

On the way, the two talked about the works selected by Lan Xin.

Lan Xin told Jiang Zhe that she had prepared three or two works, but several teachers asked her to choose this one.

"This is the first draft. Several teachers said that this one is more vivid."

"Really? You are also very hardworking. What else did your teacher say?" Jiang Zhe was very interested in this topic.

Lan Xin said: "I drew the draft and asked several teachers to look at it. I made some changes based on the teachers' suggestions and then drew the final draft.

Because Chinese paintings are difficult to revise, I felt that the first draft had some flaws, so I drew it again. However, several teachers said that the second draft was a bit slick. I never quite understood it. "

Jiang Zhe looked at the road ahead and said, "I don't know much about Chinese painting and its professional terminology. But I can talk about the case of oil painting.

Constable has a landscape with a waterwheel, the final draft is not as good as the draft, both paintings have been preserved and can be compared; Corot's sketch of the bridge is very vivid, a very small sketch, full of spirit, but in the final draft, it is a bit rigid. It can be seen that even the masters will encounter this problem.

My understanding is that when you first start painting, what you see and think about are fresh objects, and the painting process is random, so it is possible to create vivid effects.

From the rough draft to the final draft, or even the second drawing, I already have a complete image in my mind. Drawing according to the predetermined image is just copying and checking, which will inevitably make me bored, so it will lack vividness. "

Lan Xin said, "I remember that I have seen those two paintings by Corot. However, I still don't quite understand that there are flaws in the draft. Can flaws or failures be tolerated for the sake of vividness?

I have seen oil paintings, those huge works that require the artist's full energy and talent. Rembrandt's Night Watch and Napoleon's Coronation, are the final drafts worse than the drafts? "

Jiang Zhe said: "If I study this issue in depth, I will not be able to do it. The draft and the final draft are also changing.

Today's painting drafts no longer pursue completion.

Picasso drew many sketches for his work, Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, which were like exploded diagrams, and some were even oil painting drafts.

Speaking of this issue, you should actually understand it better if you study Chinese painting and calligraphy. Wang Xizhi's Lanting Preface and Yan Zhenqing's Memorial to My Nephew are both manuscripts with traces of smears, but they are also unsurpassed works. "

When discussing highly theoretical issues, the two spoke their minds without hesitation. Although some issues were unclear and could not be agreed upon, the atmosphere was still lively.

When Lan Xin got off the car, she still felt a little reluctant to leave.

Jiang Zhe and Lan Xin waved goodbye and watched her turn and leave, thinking, I hope her work can pass the selection. (End of this chapter)
