How did I become an old artist?

Chapter 118 Dragons fly and Phoenixes dance, the beauty of cloisonne!

In the morning, the sun was just right and very mild.

After four days of hard work, Zhao Chen finally completed the step of sticking the cloisonné.

At this moment, the surface of the copper censer is covered with various intricate patterns of copper wire, including flowers, plants and leaves, as well as flying dragons and phoenixes spreading their wings.

However, the copper tire is still colorless, like rusty iron, and the latitude surface looks very smooth.

In the morning, Zhao Chen started the live broadcast, and was not in a hurry to carry out the next operation of Cloisonne.

"Cans, Coke, juice, and I will go to the village and pick some grapes from the vineyard."

Zhao Chen shouted.

Hearing Zhao Chen's words, the little ones ran over with excitement.

Then, Zhao Chen took a dog and two little foxes, and leisurely went to the vineyard outside the village to pick grapes.

Now is the season of ripe grapes, and the grapes in the vineyards in the village are big and sweet.

"Go pick grapes this morning, and then start dealing with cloisonne in the afternoon."

"This kind of handicraft can't be rushed, and life must go on."

Zhao Chen said to the netizens in the live broadcast room.

He was strolling on the road in the village, and the puppies and foxes followed him around, their little feet were swaying quickly, and they looked very cute.

Everyone looked at the little guys on the live broadcast with envy on their faces.

[Why is the anchor's fox so well-behaved? I also raised a fox, except for howling, it feels similar to Erha's personality, silly. 】

[The animals raised by the master are not simple. 】

[I'm so envious, I don't even want to pet cats, other people can pet cats, dogs and foxes casually. 】

The depths of the village are relatively quiet. Occasionally, a few villagers can be seen passing by, and when they go outside, it gradually becomes lively.

Nuwa Village is a mountain village not far from the town, and there are many farmhouses and parent-child activities outside the village, which attract many tourists.

There was no one in the vineyard in the morning. After Zhao Chen brought the little ones into the vineyard, he took a bamboo basket and was ready to start picking grapes.

Looking at the grape groves in the live broadcast, the netizens showed a touch of amazement.

The picture is so beautiful.

The purple grapes hung so high on the shelf, each one was full of crystals, and at a glance, they were all grapes like this.

[I'll go, is there such a place in the village? 】

[Have you never been to a vineyard or a strawberry field? 】

[Vineyard strawberry field, what is that?Aren't grapes and strawberries both found in supermarkets? 】

[Don't tell me, picking is also a kind of fun! 】

[So my hometown still has to pick corn. I will also hold a corn picking farmhouse in the future. I pay ten yuan to go in and pick whatever I want, but I have to leave the corn when I leave. 】

[Good guy, capitalists feel ashamed after hearing your words! 】

The bullet screen came in an instant.

Seeing the grapes, the two little foxes yelled anxiously on the ground, and their impatient look made netizens cute for a while.

After Zhao Chen walked into the vineyard, the owner of the vineyard greeted Zhao Chen and said:
"Zhao Chen, come pick grapes!"

"You are really good now. I heard from people in the village that many big bosses have come to you to ask for porcelain. You make so much money by making porcelain. Do you think we can start doing it without learning?"

Hearing what the boss said, Zhao Chen immediately replied:
"It depends on talent, and it takes a long time to practice. I have practiced for many years."

Many people are like this in real life. When they hear that others have made money, they will ask how they made money, and then they want to follow suit and make some money.

However, it is difficult for people to earn money beyond what they know.

Zhao Chen didn't say much about this matter either.

"Okay, I'll just ask casually." The boss said with a smile.

Then, Zhao Chen started picking grapes in the vineyard.

He selected the grapes carefully, then put the selected grapes into the basket, and from time to time he picked two grapes and fed them to the two little foxes.

Zhao Chen said to the netizens in the live broadcast room:
"Pick some grapes and go back to make wine. Wine making from grapes is very simple."

"And the wine that I make myself has very little taste, more like grape juice."

"Although I seldom drink alcohol, I prefer to drink the brewed wine."

"Everyone can try it at home, there is no difficulty at all."

[Brother Chen, you overestimated our operational ability. 】

[To be honest, some people don’t even know how to cook dried noodles. 】

[I admit that I am pure waste in terms of manual work! 】

[Master: No way, there are still people who can't make wine, are there such stupid people in the world? 】

Today's live broadcast room is extremely lively.

The picture of Zhao Chen picking grapes with two little foxes is very relaxing.

Many people who have stayed at home for a long time feel a little anxious after seeing this scene. Some people take out their mobile phones to check if there are any vineyards around them, and plan to go up there tomorrow to pick some grapes.

However, the soul wants to move, and the body is honest.

Lying comfortably on the bed the next day, most people would think why such a toss.

Life is roughly like this, if you can't resist, you can only enjoy it.

After Zhao Chen finished picking grapes, he returned to the yard with a huge basket of grapes.

He washed the grapes and fed them to the little fox, and ate some by himself. Then, Zhao Chen continued to be busy with the cloisonne.

The current cloisonne is still a dull copper tire.

However, a new look is coming soon.

Zhao Chen returned to the workshop and put the incense burner on the table.

The surface of the incense burner is covered with various fine copper wire patterns, just like a work that has just completed a line drawing.

Zhao Chen held the incense burner and said to the netizens in the live broadcast room:
"The next step is to start the lottery. Before the lottery, there is still a very important step."

"That is to evenly sprinkle solder containing silver powder, copper powder, etc. on the copper tire."

"Then burn it in a 900-degree high-temperature kiln to remove impurities and firmly weld the copper wire to the copper tire."

As he spoke, Zhao Chen took out some gray powder and sprinkled all the powder on the surface of the incense burner.

The powder filled the gaps in the incense burner, and then, Zhao Chen put the copper body into the kiln, and it was tempered again at high temperature.

About an hour later, Zhao Chen closed the kiln, waited for the copper tire to cool down for half an hour, and took out the copper tire of the incense burner with heat-resistant gloves.

"After high-temperature quenching, some of the copper wires on the copper tire will be deformed and deviate from the original position, so a positive wire is needed to ensure that all the copper wires are perpendicular to the copper tread."

"And make sure there's clearance."

As he spoke, Zhao Chen took care of the copper wires that were somewhat out of position on the surface of the copper tire, and then he let out a sigh of relief.

"The next step is to paint. In cloisonné, this step is called dot blue."

"I bought a lot of precious glazes for the sake of blueness."

"Top works of art often spend a lot on raw materials, but they are also necessary."

"Each type of glaze has gone through different ratios to make oils of the same color and different shades, and the formation is very complicated."

Then, Zhao Chen set out nine small bowls one after another on the table, and then poured some prepared glazes into the small bowls one by one.

These glazes are crystal clear top enamel glazes.

Just by looking at it, you know it's worth a fortune.

[Master is such a rich man! 】

【It's full of the smell of money! 】

[The liquid in this small bowl must cost tens of thousands! 】

[The unpretentious artistic life of the rich! 】

The barrage was immediately lively.

A clean white cloth was placed on the table, and several blue guns and straws were placed on the white cloth.

"The next process of spotting blue must be absolutely focused. If there is a little carelessness, the color will spread to other gaps, and there will be color difference, and this cloisonné work will fail."

"The technique of Dianlan includes various techniques such as rendering, covering and dyeing, and shaving and dyeing."

"I use the simplest method, but it is enough."

"Everyone can remember what the copper tire looks like now."

"Next, after you're lustful, you can make a simple comparison."

Zhao Chen's words caught the attention of netizens.

At this moment, Zhao Chen's live broadcast is very popular.

Moreover, his live broadcast popularity on station B is much higher than that on Douyin.

The users of the two platforms overlap, but there are also differences.

Then, Zhao Chen began to color the cloisonné little by little.

This process is like when an innocent child was coloring a colorless picture in childhood.

The beauty of art is universal.

However, the coloring of cloisonne is much more difficult.

Netizens watched quietly, and everyone saw that Zhao Chen seemed to have the ability to turn decay into magic.

The initially ugly copper tire was filled with various colors by him, and it turned into a noble appearance full of colors.

Moreover, the glaze color of the enamel glaze is so beautiful and full of texture.

It is precisely because of this that the enamel colored porcelain produced by Zhao Chen was able to win the best art award in the World Art Exchange Competition.

On the surface of the incense burner, the golden dragon stretches its teeth and dances its claws, full of majesty, and the phoenix sings up to the sky, and the phoenix looks like a world.

There are intricate patterned patterns all around, as well as foliage and flower decorations.

The base color is also filled with light red.

This piece of work initially reveals its beauty.

Even so, it is enough to make people feel extra amazed.
