Chapter 443: Cook like a master!
It’s not that Song Xingliang has any intention to compare with Lin Zhibai. He has been studying painting skills for many years, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is “invincible against the young people of Qizhou”.
Otherwise Shi Yun would not have given Song Xingliang the comment that "he will become a master within ten years" in front of so many people.
Although Lin Zhibai is not from Qizhou, he is about the same age as himself, and even seems to be younger than him. Naturally, his painting skills cannot be better than his own.
is.
Song Xingliang just glanced at Lin Zhibai's paintings accidentally, and did not have any ideas in his brain.
But after this glance, Song Xingliang noticed something was wrong, so he let out such a soft sigh——
Lin Zhibai used ink to paint shrimps, which is of course not surprising.
After all, everyone has to go to Tiantianju, so it is impossible to choose to draw something too complicated, which will only waste time.
What really made Song Xingliang feel something was wrong was:
Lin Zhibai’s shrimps look very simple at first glance, just a few rough strokes.
But if you look closely, you will find that the different postures of these shrimps actually have their own charm.
To put it more mysteriously, Lin Zhibai seems to have given souls to the shrimps, making them appear in the painting in another posture.
In fact, this is the characteristic of Qi Baishi’s paintings of shrimps:
The expression and overall layout of the shrimps painted by Qi Baishi will bring about the re-creation of imagination, which is reminiscent of the posture of shrimps in the water.
However, this kind of charm is extremely difficult to imitate, otherwise "White Rock Shrimp" would not be unique in the painting world.
At this moment, the "White Rock Shrimp" was perfectly imitated by Lin Zhibai. After all, he already has a master-level painting ability...
therefore.
The more Song Xingliang looked at it, the more surprised he became. The more he appreciated it, the more exquisite it became. His eyes gradually widened!
At the same time that Song Xingliang was surprised, the literati who came from Tiantianju to greet Lin Zhibai immediately noticed the picture of the ink shrimp in his hand.
“Is this painted by Mr. Lin?”
Shi Yun, the only Qizhou painting master present, walked up to Song Xingliang. After looking at him for a moment, his voice was obviously strange.
"Yeah."
Jiang Shourang smiled and said: "I saw Mr. Lin's drawing with my own eyes, and it seems to be pretty good."
"not bad?"
Song Xingliang glanced at Jiang Shourang and said, "If this can only be considered good, then my painting can only be described as garbage."
"What?"
Jiang Shourang was stunned. He knew that although Song Xingliang had an unreliable character, he was extremely confident and even arrogant when it came to the field of painting.
How good is Lin Zhibai’s painting to allow Song Xingliang to say such a thing?
Also stunned, there are other literati who do not understand painting skills at the scene. Is Lin Zhibai's paintings so good?
With various thoughts, everyone looked at Lin Zhibai's paintings together.
This look.
Someone finally said in surprise: "This painting is so strange. Why didn't Mr. Lin paint a drop of water, but I seemed to see a shrimp swimming in the water?"
“Because of the sense of perspective…”
Song Xingliang, who was silently watching the painting, suddenly opened his mouth and explained: "To be precise, it is the movement of the shrimp that allows people to feel the presence of water, and even the resistance of the water to the movement of the shrimp. The expression of the shape and movement of the shrimp conveys the relationship between the shrimp and the water." With a seamless visual effect, we can see that the shrimp changes in shades throughout the layout of the painting. This change actually refers to the projection of light on the shrimp from different angles, rather than simply forcing it to change the picture."
Shi Yun, who was also looking at the painting, added:
"In order to express the sense of perspective that Xingliang said, he also put a lot of effort into the lines. Therefore, to our naked eyes, these shrimps appear to be both virtual and solid. Some places seem to be soft but solid, and some places seem to be disconnected. It can be said that There is a sense of order in the straight and the chaotic, so everyone will feel that the shrimps on the paper seem to be playing and swimming in the water. Even the tentacles of the shrimps, which appear to be messy but are actually exquisite, also seem to be moving but not moving. "
Speaking of which.
Shi Yun looked at Lin Zhibai and said seriously to everyone: "Mr. Xiao Lin's painting skills are much better than Xingliang's, and he should not be inferior to me."
The voice fell.
All the literati showed a look of astonishment.
Even Hu Wei did not expect that his old friend would give such a high evaluation!
Judging from Song Xingliang's reaction, there seemed to be no "unconvinced" emotion. Instead, he was appreciating the painting more seriously, with an expression as focused as if he wanted to delve into the essence of the painting.
at the same time.
Every audience in the live broadcast room was stunned, and many people who knew Shi Yun's status in Qizhou painting circles were even more incredulous!
【Did I hear correctly? 】
【Shi Lao actually said that Lin Zhibai's painting level is not inferior to his! ? 】
I think I say this out of humility, Shi Lao is one of the few painting masters in Qizhou! 】
Even if I am being modest, it is at least 70% to 80% valuable. Besides, although I don’t know how to draw, looking at this picture of ink shrimps does have a special artistic conception. And you didn’t notice that Song Xingliang didn’t even refute it. 】
【The richest man is too fierce! 】
【Really a full-level human, right? 】
【Shi Lao is a master of painting, and the richest man is almost the same as him. Does that mean that the richest man is also a master of painting? 】
I’ve never heard of it. If Shi Lao’s words are not discounted, the richest man may be the youngest painting master in history! ? ] Lin Zhibai’s painting received too high a rating!
The audience in the live broadcast room was stunned. No one had ever thought that Lin Zhibai’s paintings were so awesome!
Even when Lin Zhibai said that he would choose painting instead of calligraphy this round, many viewers were quite disappointed. After all, everyone wanted to see the strength of the calligraphy master, but they did not expect that he was very good at painting. Maybe a master too!
“Excessive praise.”
Lin Zhibai smiled and cupped his hands and said: "Actually, it's not that I'm that good. Regarding the painting method of shrimp, I also learned it from a certain master..."
“It doesn’t matter who you learn from.”
Shi Yun said: "The important thing is this technique. If you don't have master-level painting skills, you won't be able to learn it even if you learn it."
Master painting techniques?
Hu Wei's eyes were bright and he said: "Old Shi, do you mean that Mr. Xiaolin is really a master of painting?"
Industry specializing in surgery.
Hu Wei was better at poetry, and his level of couplets was acceptable, but his painting skills were average, at the beginning level, so he only felt that Lin Zhibai's painting was good, but he couldn't explain how good he was.
“Still have any questions?”
Shi Yun said categorically: "Mr. Kobayashi can confirm his identity as a master of painting just by looking at this ink shrimp picture."
"Yes."
A literati who was also good at painting said at the scene: "This is a master-level painting technique. Masters focus on details. Look at the joints and toughness of the shrimp's whiskers. The joints and toughness of the whiskers are not drawn using conventional realistic techniques. Instead, the dry brush is used to show the free and easy elegance of the strokes. This whiteness makes up for the weakening of the tenacity of the whiskers caused by the trembling brushstrokes. No non-painting master has such aesthetics and understanding!"
As soon as these words came out.
All the masters of painting at the scene were nodding, and everyone was whispering while looking at the painting closely. Some people even had the idea of stealing from the painting, and analyzed it while watching:
“Look at the tail of this shrimp!”
“The blending of each limb section is very good.”
“Using realistic brushwork to express the shape and interpenetrating relationship of the tail limbs, and at the same time, the smudged layers vividly express the translucent texture of the limbs.”
“The pseudopods are integrated into one body!”
“Mr. Lin’s skill in using the pen is fully demonstrated in all the details!”
“I think the most important thing is that he controls the proportion of smudged water and ink color very well. This is a reflection of the extremely high basic skills of ink painting!”
“I also think the shrimp tail treatment is the best.”
"For example, the middle stroke of this tail not only explains the structural relationship of the tail, but also creates a wonderful echo with the structure of the body in front, showing the relationship with the armor in the front and the bending and interpenetration of the limbs in the back, adding to the The structural charm of the bouncing body.”
“Still life painting, but full of agility!”
The painting masters were exclaiming while communicating.
The literati who didn’t understand painting around him were stunned for a moment.
Including Hu Wei, he actually couldn’t understand it, but he was greatly shocked.
In ancient times, a person was described as having many talents, and it was usually said that he was good at playing music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and singing.
But the reality is:
Few people can really do everything well, although this is the ultimate pursuit of every literati, whether ancient or modern.
Can be present.
Hu Wei felt as if he had met a true genius who was also good at "playing music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and poetry"!
“Let’s not just stand around.”
At this moment, a clear voice sounded: "The poetry meeting should start soon."
Only then did Hu Wei react and said with a smile: "Xinyi is right. Mr. Xiaolin has undoubtedly passed the third level, and he is also the leader of this level. Since Mr. Xiaolin has successfully passed the third level, we also invite Mr. Xiaolin will officially go to Tiantianju."
"please!"
Shi Yun made an invitation gesture to Lin Zhibai.
Lin Zhibai returned the gift and was about to leave when Song Xingliang suddenly took his painting and said:
“Can you sell this painting to me, Mr. Lin?”
“We traveled together all the way, and we can be regarded as gentlemen’s friends. We can tell you whether to sell or not, and if you like it, I will give it to you.”
Lin Zhibai smiled and spoke.
This painting is actually not that good, it is just a masterpiece by a master.
Lin Zhibai has now accumulated some skill points. If he is willing to study hard, he can even become the **** of painting directly!
It was just that Lin Zhibai felt that it was just a way to get through, and there was no need to engage in such a big battle, so he just drew a picture of the ink shrimp in a low-key manner.
Had he known that so many literati were welcoming him, Lin Zhibai might have really considered stud just now.
The shock brought by his paintings is not just as simple as making Shi Yun say, "Mr. Xiaolin's painting skills are no less than mine."
And if you look at your painting from the perspective of the **** of painting -
It's hard to believe that Lin Zhibai had to say something like "he cooks like a master".
that's all.
With Song Xingliang's thanks, Lin Zhibai and the group of literati from Qizhou entered Tiantianju together.
