Siheyuan: Beginning with a Ceramic Artist

For example, the Qianlong hunting map is the representative of Lang Shining's paintings, but what?

The colors are too bright, just like the feeling of Western oil painting, but the characters are the feeling of meticulous painting, so Lang Shining's meticulous painting is like a combination of Chinese and Western.

And what about Master Hu?

It is more like the kind of Western oil painting, whether it is characters or flowers and birds, there is a real and gorgeous feeling, but the only thing missing is the agile feeling of freehand brushwork painting.He Yutong felt that if the two were combined into one, they would be able to break through their limits.

At this time, He Yutong thought about it, there must be many smart people from ancient times to the present, and his ideas must have been thought of by others, but there should be deviations in the implementation.

After all, combining Chinese and Western is not so easy.

He Yutong was grinding the paint while thinking about this.

But to be honest, grinding paint is really hard work. There are more than a dozen colors alone, and this does not include mixed colors, such as what is the ratio of a certain color to a certain color.

This recipe plus this plus something makes the finished product more beautiful, it's all experience.

In fact, in the field of ceramics, painting skills are one aspect, and more is the firing process. Some of these things are accumulated through countless experiences, and it is not necessarily something that can be changed by painting skills.For example, your painting is very good, but it is not very good when it is burned out. This is a very common thing.

Now the technique He Yutong has learned is Xincai, also known as Western Cai, formerly known as Yang Cai.

It is said that it was imported from Germany and then from Japan during the Guangxu period.

Also known as "new color" began to prevail in Jingde.

After a series of reforms and innovations, the decorative style has formed the local characteristics of Jingde ceramic art….

Of course, it was popular in Jingde, where Master Hu also studied art, and he was instructed by Master Deng, one of the Eight Friends of Zhushan in Jingde.

As for what he gave, He Yutong didn't know, and neither did other people in the factory, but I heard that Master Hu and the people above met Master Deng when they went to Jingde for inspection, and they passed Master Deng's instructions.certainly!

It wasn't just Master Hu who visited the factory.

Others have been there too.

Even his master Lin Guochang has been there, but Master Lin was instructed by another master, Master Wang.

It is said that this Master Wang was also received by the leader.

He Yutong thought to himself, this is a great man.

It's definitely not a small thing.

Chapter [-] What He Yutong Lacks

Now He Yutong's hands are a little sore.

This hammer is too small, and it is very difficult to hold. Basically, it can only grind a small part, but some people draw a lot, and they will grind a lot at one time.

Grind and setback, literally have different meanings.

The actual action is also different.

There are many colors of new colors, but most of them are sand-like material colors. They have to be ground into powder by beating in a bowl, and then become a fine powder like pearl material, and then use frankincense oil to form the paste. shaped paint.

So He Yutong has been doing these things all afternoon.

Although these are all made by apprentices.

But He Yutong did it willingly, after all, it was to learn new knowledge.

"Ceramic painting experience +1"

"Ceramic painting experience +1"

"Ceramic painting experience +1"

"Ceramic painting experience +1"

Huh?

Can this also add experience?

He Yutong was a little surprised to find that he could also gain experience by making paints by himself?

By the way, why didn't you gain experience before?

Haven't I found a way to gain experience?

He Yutong thought about these questions strangely. After all, after thinking about these things, he can also know how to quickly gain experience, which is particularly important for skill upgrades.

But there are a lot of these things.

After about five days, He Yutong finally broke down about dozens of kinds, they are respectively.

Western magenta, pink, ochre, big blue, cyan, ochre, red ochre, agate red, magenta, cyan, red purple, sea blue, blue purple, bright black, carmine, water red, western red, vermilion, hemp , Adzuki bean tea, red and yellow, grass green, golden red, Sichuan color, cyan, Ganqing, thin yellow, golden water, electric light water, etc.

After a few minutes, He Yutong looked at so many colors in front of him and felt a little emotional.

So many colors are finally down.

It's just too much.

He Yutong finally thought about it, and there are really many preparation procedures for the new color.

However, the new color is not like the old color or the pastel, because the coloring part of the pastel and the old color is specially made for the filling work.

The work of filling is to help the painter to fill in the color. After all, the color of the pastel and the ancient color is the same, and it is a color when you fill it in, but some parts need to be washed and dyed.That is, the color transition.

Of course, this also depends on experience. Some of the painters hope that the color will be heavier in a certain place, and he will fill in it himself. As for the effect, it can only be seen after it is burned.After all, everything is based on the finished product.

He Yutong looked at so many paints in front of him, and felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart, all of which were rubbed by himself, and it still took several days, how could he let himself have no sense of accomplishment? At this time, Master Hu looked at He Yutong. After rubbing all the colors, he nodded slightly in admiration.

"So fast?".

"Like a normal apprentice, it takes at least a dozen days...".

He Yutong thought he wouldn't praise people, but he didn't expect that he would praise himself.

This is something He Yutong didn't expect. During this period of frustration, he found that Master Hu was still quite cruel to his apprentices, and he was about to scold his apprentices.

So most of the apprentices are afraid of him.

He Yutong didn't feel anything.

Because Master Hu's swear words are nothing new, what swear words have never heard of He Yutong, who has passed through the information age in later generations?

What's more, there are local versions.

Therefore, He Yutong has automatically filtered out Master Hu's scolding of his apprentices, and at present, this Master Hu has never scolded himself.

It is normal for the master to scold his apprentice in this industry, just like talking about cross talk.

It's just that He Yutong is not interested in learning cross talk, but it is interesting to listen to cross talk, but it costs money to listen to cross talk, so He Yutong is too lazy to go.

At present, this consumption is naturally not worth it.

He Yutong naturally responded with a smile to Master Hu's praise.

"Don't you want to start learning quickly?"

After Master Hu heard what He Yutong said, he picked up a purple sand pot, drank tea with his mouth to the mouth of the purple sand pot, and then looked at He Yutong with deep eyes.

"It seems that you are in a hurry. In our business, the most taboo thing is to be impatient. If you are impatient, you won't be able to draw good things...".

"Just scold me for these people, can they draw good things?".

After Master Hu finished speaking, he then looked at a group of apprentices who were drawing lines under his hands.

He Yutong thought.

Do you also know that you are scolded for being in a bad mood and draw bad things?Then you still scold?

It's just that He Yutong didn't say this. It's not important to say that. After all, Master Hu is not considered bad in his eyes, it can only be said that his character is like this.

At this time, Master Hu continued.

"I can't paint well, I don't know if I go home and continue to work hard, what can I learn even in eight hours a day?".

Master Hu took another sip of tea.

His expression seemed to be regretting something.

He Yutong looked at the apprentices sitting on the other side of Master Hu, who were timid. He Yutong suddenly felt that he seemed to understand something.Is this what he lacks?

Chapter [-] There's definitely something going on here

Is it hard work that you lack?

Or an obsession with something?

It may be that when I go home, I will think of some bad times, and I am not in the mood. Is it possible that I have been disturbed by other things now.

Thinking of this, He Yutong suddenly felt that what Master Hu said was very reasonable. Sure enough, he still needed to deal with some things rationally.

At this time, He Yutong felt that his heart suddenly seemed to be much calmer.

He smiled at Master Hu.

"Study art really has to work hard beyond eight hours, otherwise it's really not hard enough...".

"Your words, I have been taught...".

After Master Hu heard He Yutong's words, he didn't say anything, but pointed to a picture on the table.

Above is a piece of period porcelain (a leather porcelain).

Of course, this is just the predecessor of the era porcelain, but the craftsmanship should be similar, but the subject matter is slightly different.

The porcelain of this era is painted with a bumper harvest of the working people. Several farmers are holding rice in their hands. There is a paddy field behind, a busy scene, which is very modern.At this time, Master Hu said.

"Look!".

"How is it different from what you've drawn before?".

He Yutong looked at this almost two-foot-four porcelain plate painting, and really saw some differences.

So He Yutong replied to Master Hu.

"This doesn't seem to be Western painting...".
