"Mr. Cao said that the level of this painting has not yet reached the threshold to participate in the professional group of art exhibitions."
Professor Lin Tao's WeChat reply was very good: "Master is generally not willing to praise others. You can figure out what the old man means by yourself."
Have you not reached the threshold to participate in the professional group of art exhibitions?
Gu Weijing looked at the new messages on his phone and understood the meaning of the little old man's words.
"In other words, we have reached the level of joining the ordinary student group."
It’s almost the same as I estimated.
His basic painting skills are better than those of many college students from local art academies.
The first level of the lv.4 career on the system panel should be average among professional painters, but it is extremely excellent in the field of art students.
Mr. Cao should be very satisfied with his progress.
"Don't be too proud. This is "Hundred Flowers", a work written by junior sister Tang Ning when she was twenty-two years old. It is also the next coursework assigned by Mr. Cao for you."
Professor Lin Tao sent a message.
That was a press release from the official website of the Shanghai International Art Biennale a long time ago.
[Tang Ning's "Hundred Flowers", a close disciple of the master of Chinese painting Cao Xuan, won the gold medal at the Shanghai International Art Biennale, setting a record for the youngest winner]
This is a press release from the official media of the Magic City.
The accompanying picture shows a girl in her twenties wearing a beige coat, standing among a group of government officials and old men from the organizing committee.
She holds a golden trophy in her hand, and on the left is Mr. Cao, who looks much younger. Behind him is a four-foot Chinese painting.
The photo in the press release is not clear, but the link provides a portal to the official sub-album of the art exhibition.
Gu Weijing rummaged through the competition album for a moment and found the "Hundred Flowers" painted by Tang Ning that the news said was at the top of the electronic album.
"This is...a naked show of skill."
The moment Gu Weijing saw the electronic album, he excluded Ms. Tang Ning, who is now regarded as the top female artist of the Mesozoic era in Eastern Xia. The award was given by the judges because of her status as Mr. Cao's currently closed disciple.
The theme of the whole painting is a flower tree,
The branches are covered with all kinds of colorful flowers, colorful and colorful.
The name of this painting is "Hundred Flowers" - there are not a hundred kinds of flowers in the picture, but there are more or less fifty or sixty kinds.
"It's really awesome."
Gu Weijing praised him.
For flowers in oil paintings, if you learn one type, you have actually learned everything. At most, you can only pay attention to some changes in light and shade.
But the flowers in Chinese paintings are different.
Just for daylily, iris, crabapple, magnolia, peony, morning glory, okra, peach blossom, narcissus, lily, wisteria... there are dozens of different corresponding painting methods.
There are dozens of painting methods and dozens of artistic conceptions of flowers in this "Hundred Flowers", cleverly blooming on the same flower tree.
The orchids are painted vertically and horizontally, the plum blossoms are proud, and the lotus flowers are like hibiscus emerging from the water... Gu Weijing is not a master of Chinese painting, but at least he can see that this has the pattern of a famous artist.
Just for the different postures of these dozens of flowers, it is well-deserved to win the gold medal.
"Your next lesson is to copy this painting and figure out how to draw each flower. This painting itself is an excellent Chinese painting learning material. I will teach you a flower painting technique every week, this The week starts with orchids.”
Professor Lin Tao wanted to officially start teaching, and Gu Weijing had no reason to disagree.
"By the way, I have contacted Junior Sister Tang Ning in the UK. An insurance company will contact you soon to confirm receipt of the goods."
Gu Weijing was startled.
He guessed the answer in his heart, but he was still a little unbelievable.
"What to receive?"
"Of course it's "Hundred Flowers". When copying, you have to copy the original work. Your family owns a gallery, so I don't need to say more about how to maintain calligraphy and painting works. This painting is just lent to you, don't damage it."
Professor Lin Tao's tone between the lines was very calm, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
In the field of painting, an authentic masterpiece of calligraphy and painting is like a set of profound martial arts secrets.
Even famous painters often copy works in art galleries.
But there are so many people coming and going in the art museum, especially those famous paintings. Among the tourists queuing up, it is difficult for you to even have time to calm down and appreciate them, let alone set up an easel in front of them to copy them.
A few years ago, a major artist wanted to obtain the convenience of copying the treasure "La Las Meninas" of the National Gallery of Spain.
He went through various connections and finally begged Felipe VI, the current king of Spain, to get permission to copy in an afternoon.
Today's electronic technology is very advanced,
even so,
The difference between electronic photos and original works by famous artists is also very big when copied by professional art practitioners.
Ten minutes of viewing an original work may be more effective than looking at an electronic album for a whole day.
The light and shadow at different angles, the grainy texture of the paper, the feel of the brushstrokes...an authentic painting is an authentic painting, and a photo is a photo.
Learning painting is a very expensive business. Painting tools and paper only account for a small part of the cost of learning for art students. All kinds of copying are the real big deal.
Basically, starting from middle school, top private art schools spend less than half of their class time in organizing students to travel to major art museums in Europe to copy the original works of masters.
Even international high schools like Gu Weijing and others will open summer camps or winter camps every holiday to visit famous art museums.
Including hotel tickets, visas, and local pick-up, the registration fee is approximately US$8,000 to US$10,000 per month.
For Gu Weijing's family background, it was indeed a bit too expensive.
But he didn't expect that he would be lucky enough to copy the original painting of Hundred Flowers, and let him hold it in his hand and copy it as he wished.
This is the gold medal work at the Shanghai Art Exhibition Biennale.
Although it is not a mature work made by the painter Ms. Tangning after she was thirty years old, this painting is still worth more than hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Being able to directly teach and observe learning in one's own hands is a sign of supreme trust and love.
"Thanks."
"Thank you, Mr. Cao. This is what he meant. Junior sister Tang Ning has the best painting foundation among the brothers and sisters of our generation. Although I always thought that the bet was just a joke. But if you can do it in the next few months, The painting inside shows five points of her divine will. Not to mention winning an award, she might actually have the opportunity to participate in an international art exhibition."
…
Forrest Gump said that life is like a piece of chocolate, you never know how the next piece will taste.
The care of the elders is like a cup of warm hot cocoa, but there are also some things that make Gu Weijing feel like a lump of shit is stuck in his throat.
His online store received malicious negative reviews.
Three days ago, Gu Weijing suddenly found that he had an inexplicable negative review on his virtual dashboard.
When I opened the website and took a look, I discovered that the latest order from the Detective Cat online store had a big [BAD] negative review.
This is as dazzling as a drop of ink on a white paper in a stream of positive reviews.
It is not uncommon for an artist's paintings to receive negative reviews from buyers.
After all, art is a very subjective thing.
Everyone has different eyes, and there are many people who think that Picasso's paintings are ugly.
But Gu Weijing still had an impression of this guy's order, which was an illustrated head portrait of a fat blue man. To be honest, it had no technical content and there was almost no possibility of it being poorly drawn.
He originally thought he had met a client who wanted to blackmail the painter for free by relying on bad reviews.
There have always been people like this,
After the painting is finished, nit-picking and wanting to reduce the remuneration have been done by some difficult customers since the Middle Ages in Europe.
Gu Weijing still has tasks to do. The system's serial tasks require a positive rating of 95%, which means that at most one of the twenty orders is not a positive one.
Seeing that his mission is almost completed.
He didn't want anything to happen now.
Gu Weijing immediately contacted the buyer, hoping to revise the manuscript or provide a full refund. The only requirement was that the buyer could cancel the negative review.
As a result, the good-natured gentleman who had some problems when submitting the manuscript suddenly became very determined for no reason.
A few minutes later, a long comment was added to his transaction record.
"Expensive piece of shit for three hundred bucks." - This was the title of the order review.
He clicked in for evaluation and found that the buyer's tone was full of hostility.
He did not explain clearly what was wrong with his painting, but throughout the article he compared his painting with the blue fat man painted by another online store called "Cheap but not bad".
Well, Fatty Lan, to put it bluntly, as long as you can draw a circle, you can draw it, so it’s hard to make a big difference.
See here.
Gu Weijing became convinced,
He must have met a colleague now.
