Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

Chapter 34 Master Lin's Shock
Li Feng was using the materials made by Master Lin to draw lines, which was quite impressive.

The smoothness is really good. After all, Master Lin is a level seven painter, and his skill in preparing materials is truly amazing.

However, Li Feng finished drawing the material prepared by Master Lin in about twenty minutes.

The paint on the paintbrush is finished.

So Li Feng had to prepare the materials.

So Li Feng started preparing the materials according to the method that Master Lin had taught him at the beginning.

After Li Feng finished preparing the materials, he started drawing again.

When Li Feng drew on the porcelain plate with his brush, he found that the lines he drew were broken and discontinuous.

As Master Lin just said.

That must be dried.

So Li Feng added some camphor oil and started mixing the ingredients.

He then started practicing again.

It's barely usable.

So Li Feng started using a pen to lengthen the lines.

When painting meticulous brushwork, Li Feng knew that beginners had to hold their breath.

That way you can draw long and straight lines.

This is the method Li Feng used when he practiced meticulous brushwork painting.

The technique of applying it directly to porcelain painting is still very useful.

With Li Feng's practice.

Li Feng's painting experience is also increasing.

"Ceramic painting experience +1"

"Ceramic painting experience +1"

"Ceramic painting experience +1"

"Ceramic painting experience +1"

As Li Feng's experience in ceramic painting increased, his lines also improved. Initially, Li Feng's lines were thicker than Master Lin's.

You can start drawing in more detail later.

By the very end, the fine lines Li Feng drew were still able to stand up.

Li Feng felt his own progress.

He believes that if he keeps practicing, he will be able to draw lines better and better.

but!

Li Feng still wants to paint those real works.

After all, that's what gives you a sense of accomplishment.

This is also what Li Feng hoped for.

Li Feng now hopes to fulfill this wish through his own practice.

Next

Li Feng began practicing with complete absorption.

Unconsciously

Time quickly passed to eight o'clock.

When Master Lin saw the time, he couldn't help but frown.

He didn't expect to be painting so late today.

He then looked at Li Feng and noticed that Li Feng was still drawing lines seriously.

Master Lin put his painted inlay piece down from the shelf and then walked over to Li Feng.

Then Master Lin said to Li Feng.

"Li Feng".

"It's already eight o'clock."

"Aren't you going home yet?"

At this moment, Li Feng, who was practicing his lines, entered a state of complete absorption, and did not even notice when Master Lin walked up to him.

At this moment, Master Lin's voice pulled Li Feng out of his reverie.

Upon hearing Master Lin's voice, Li Feng immediately stopped writing and turned to look at Master Lin beside him.

Only then did he realize that Master Lin had already walked up to him.

So Li Feng apologized to Master Lin, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Excuse me, Mr. Lin."

"I've lost track of time."

Master Lin also recognized Li Feng's efforts, so he nodded approvingly at Li Feng.

"Practicing hard is great, but you also need to remember to rest."

"It's getting late, you should go back now."

"Let's practice again tomorrow."

Upon hearing Master Lin's words, Li Feng immediately nodded in response.

"Okay, Master Lin." Li Feng then quickly packed his things and left.

Master Lin watched Li Feng's departing figure and shook his head helplessly.

Master Lin felt that Li Feng was a very hardworking kid, but he didn't take good care of his health.

Painting can actually be harmful to your health, since sitting for long periods of time is not good.

Thinking of this, Master Lin prepared to turn around and leave, after all, it was getting late and he should go home.

Just as Master Lin turned around, he saw the porcelain slab that Li Feng had just used to practice his lines.

At this moment, Master Lin noticed that the porcelain slab that Li Feng had just practiced on was covered with lines.

Moreover, each line is solid and powerful.

The most important of these is...

The lines are drawn very finely.

On ceramics, the ability to draw fine lines is very important, and this is closely related to hand control.

If you draw fine lines, you can use the silk-hair technique to draw very fine lines such as hair and feathers.

To draw in detail, you need to spend a lot of time practicing.

Master Lin was very surprised that Li Feng's lines were so fine and powerful, with a sense of being piled up.

Li Feng has only been learning for a month.

When he was drawing the picture before, Master Lin thought that Li Feng's drawing was good, but drawing with ink and outlining with pearl pigment are two different things.

Thinking of this, Master Lin couldn't help but take a deep breath.

If someone can draw the outline of a pearl-like material to this extent, then after becoming more familiar with the material's properties, they can basically start drawing on their own.

only!
If Li Feng only comes to study after get off work, that's indeed not ideal.

Looking at the lines Li Feng had practiced, Master Lin made a decision: he would talk to Master Wang tomorrow.

And ask if Li Feng could switch to painting.

After all, Li Feng is still Master Wang's apprentice, so if he wants to hire someone, he needs Master Wang's permission.

If we get his consent, then things will be much easier.

As for his transfer from the potter's wheel workshop to the painting workshop, Master Lin believed that the two directors would still give him some leeway.

Master Lin is fifty-five years old this year.

In a few more years, I won't be able to paint the fine, meticulous porcelain anymore; if I want to paint, I'll only be able to paint the freehand style.

In fact, ceramic painters are very similar to artists.

As you get older, your hands start to shake.

If your hands shake, you can't draw very detailed things.

Master Lin's meticulous figure paintings are now very detailed, but none of his apprentices have mastered his style. Many of them, after studying for one or two years, still haven't mastered even the most basic lines.

of course!

It's not that you can't draw porcelain if you're not good at drawing lines.

But in that case, they could only paint ordinary porcelain pieces; they simply couldn't paint the finest pieces.

When he saw Li Feng's talent, he felt...

Li Feng should definitely have mastered the skill, after all, he has only been learning for a month, yet his line drawing is better than that of his apprentice who has been learning for almost a year or two.

This is talent.

To some extent, talent is very important.

So this led Master Lin to decide to go see Master Wang tomorrow and see if he could persuade Master Wang to switch Li Feng to a painting job.

the other side

After Li Feng returned home.

After he finished washing up, he lay down on the bed.

At this moment, he looked at his own panel.

"Reward: Random skill level 1!"

After looking at his own panel, Li Feng sighed.

It's been a month, and my pottery throwing skill is still only level 2, while my ceramic painting skill has only recently broken through to level 1.

As for the task of becoming an apprentice at the Five Star Ceramics Factory, it was not yet completed. At this moment, Li Feng couldn't help but think that perhaps this task would be completed after he completed his apprenticeship.

After completing the apprenticeship, one becomes a formal apprentice, and after becoming a formal apprentice, one can participate in the assessment for a Level 1 worker.

Perhaps it will be at that time that I will truly take the first step.
