Chapter 416: The Painting Method of Pioneering School (Part 2)
Li Er just took the drawing board in Zhang Nan's hand and took a breath of air conditioning. How could it look so similar? Li Er even felt that Zhang Nan had printed him on paper. Of course, this was a bit exaggerated, but it is undeniable that in ancient times when he focused on freehand painting and honoring gods, Zhang Nan suddenly took out a painting with obvious layers and differences in light and shadow, which was able to attract people's attention.
Due to cultural differences, with the Western Renaissance as the dividing point, the paintings on both sides of China and the West can be said to have gone in different directions.
Chinese painting emphasizes rather clumsy than cleverness, and rather ugly than charming Chinese classical paintings divide the painting objects into two parts: form and spirit. Focus on spirit rather than form. Chinese painting emphasizes vividness and uses all things to take the truth. Freehand characters mainly express the emotions and inner thoughts and feelings of the characters, and will appropriately deform in painting techniques to highlight their external characteristics. It is not to be reproduced purely. Unlike Western paintings, Western classical painting emphasizes the structural accuracy of the shape.
Line shape is the essence of Chinese painting. First of all, the tool limits this shape. The traces left by the brush on the paper are almost linear. Although paintings include brushing, rubbing, dots, dyeing, etc., these are all unfolded in the online shape.
Using line shapes as the basis of painting is destined to be completely close to reality, which is impossible.
Secondly, another point is that another reason why Chinese paintings are not very realistic is the two key parts of perspective and light and shadow. Although Western paintings did not have the concept of perspective and light and shadow before the Renaissance, they finally had them.
So this has two directions: freehand painting and realistic.
It is obvious that Comrade Li Er, who is used to seeing freehand paintings, suddenly saw Zhang Nan's realistic paintings, and it is impossible not to be shocked.
Li Er's air conditioning sucked in, which made the ministers present even more curious. Li Er didn't take it too much and handed the portrait in his hand to Yan Liben. Yan Liben took it and saw it was shocked.
Zhang Nan's painting method that he had never seen before made this master of painting in the early Tang Dynasty burst into attention. There was nothing else, because Zhang Nan's paintings were so similar.
"Yan Aiqing, what do you think of the paintings made by Qingquan?" Li Er asked.
At this time, Yan Liben was still staring at Zhang Nan's paintings, as if he wanted to find out why the portraits of the characters Zhang Nan painted were so vivid.
Li Er asked a few questions in a row, but Yan Liben didn't hear it. Finally, Changsun Wuji, who was looking at the painting, pulled Yan Liben's sleeve. Yan Liben reacted.
"This is the paintings made by the emperor and Lord Zhang, I am not as good as that. I have never seen anyone who can use fine brushwork so well." Yan Liben was not stingy with his praise at all.
"Mr. Yan has been too proud, but the one I use is not meticulous brushwork. The way I use is called sketching, which is a kind of sketching." Zhang Nan said.
"Sketch? Sketch? What is that? Why have you never heard of such painting skills?" Yan Liben asked with a strange look. After all, Yan Liben, who is proficient in painting, has never heard of any sketches.
"If you have heard of it, there will be a ghost." Zhang Nan complained in his heart, but when he said that, Zhang Nan still explained to Yan Liben what sketching is.
"Simply put, it is to use charcoal, pencil and other objects to draw monochrome paintings of light and darkness of objects with lines. This is called sketching. Sketching is just a branch of the sketching." Zhang Nan said with a smile.
"Charcoal? Can charcoal be painted?" Yan Liben expressed deep shock.
"Of course, as long as you want to draw, aren't everything that can leave traces all brushes? Lord Yan, did you say that the murals in Shandong in ancient times were all made of brushes?" Zhang Nan said with a smile.
After hearing this, Yan Liben showed a thoughtful expression, and then bowed and said, "I've been taught."
"Yan Aiqing, how do you see clearly what sketch Quan said?" Li Er asked. After all, in Li Er's eyes, Yan Liben's painter was impeccable. Zhang Na suddenly took out a new thing, and Li Er could only ask Yan Liben.
"This... the emperor, I will not hide it from it. The paintings I have made are all drawn by learning from the brushwork of my predecessors. I think Mr. Zhang's paintings have reached the level of being able to establish a school. This sketch really shocked me too much." Yan Liben said seriously.
After Yan Liben finished speaking, Li Er was shocked now. There was nothing else. In Li Er's eyes, Yan Liben's painting skills were naturally considered to be above the top level. Otherwise, Comrade Li Er would not have handed over so much image rendering work to Yan Liben. Now Yan Liben said that Zhang Nan's painting method could be established, so there was absolutely no problem.
This made Li Er a little depressed. It was not that Li Er was jealous of Zhang Nan's talent. Li Er was depressed by why Zhang Nan was unwilling to be his son-in-law. After all, when Zhang Nan accompanied him and Queen Changsun and Li Lizhi yesterday, Zhang Nan's eyes were not too stupid for Li Lizhi, which was enough to prove that Zhang Nan had no meaning to his daughter.
This made Li Er, who wanted to marry Li Lizhi to Zhang Nan, quite depressed. Of course, if Zhang Nan could hear Li Er's voice, he would definitely shout that he was wronged. Zhang Nan didn't want to see it, so he didn't dare to see it. Although Li Lizhi is a very good-looking and a standard beauty, compared with the beauty, Zhang Nan still pays more attention to his life safety. What if he took a few more glances and asked Li Er to grab his braid and forcefully stuff Li Lizhi to him?
Of course, Zhang Nan is a typical person who has a thief heart but not a thief courage. Although Zhang Nan likes beauties, it does not mean that Zhang Nan has to live a life of three wives and four concubines. Although Zhang Nan really wants it, Zhang Nan always feels that he will be sorry for Cui Yue.
Thinking of this, Li Er not only hummed, but then said, "Qingquan, you are so well-painted. Why not Qingquan, just want to draw one for me and all the ministers." Li Erdao.
When Zhang Nan heard this, he was stunned. What is this? Why did the work of portraits of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion fall on me for no reason? Zhang Nan expressed his confusion.
Cui Shao seemed to see Zhang Nan’s idea, so he stood up and said, “Master, aren’t we discussing the national flag? If you want to paint a portrait, why not wait until the court disperses?”
When Li Er heard this, he remembered that they were discussing the design of the national flag, so Li Er waved impatiently and said, "Then draw the national flag first. Qingquan, you can draw the national flag you designed first. It would be fine if I am satisfied. If I am not satisfied, hum."
"You hum, you, why did you stand up as the first person? Is there any mistake?" Zhang Nan didn't know where he got offended this guy. Of course, if Zhang Nan knew Li Er's inner thoughts, he would definitely sigh that Li Er's imagination was so big. After all, if he could think of his daughter from the national flag, except Li Er, there would probably be no other person who could do it.
