Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

After hearing Li Feng's words, Master Deng nodded.

Because he knew that what Li Feng said was also correct.

The foundations of Western painting and traditional Chinese painting are indeed quite different.

Then Master Deng asked Li Feng.

"Although the idea of ​​this nine-square grid is indeed quite good."

"But I still can't quite control myself when it comes to painting things that are too big."

At this moment, Li Feng waved to Master Deng.

"That's easy. If you encounter something complicated, you can just add more grids."

"For example, a 12-square grid, a 16-square grid, or even a 20-square grid or a 24-square grid are all possible."

"I just don't think it needs to be divided into such small parts, because if it's divided into too small parts, it will affect the creative space."

"However, with this method, there is absolutely no problem in drawing the shape accurately."

"The remaining issue is color application. After all, the color application standards in Chinese painting are different from those in Western painting."

"I have also incorporated the coloring techniques you taught me before."

"So I think that as long as they learn the textbook, they can draw accurately and make the drawings look like the real thing."

"Once they become more proficient, I believe they should be able to complete the tasks assigned by the state."

After listening to Li Feng's words, Master Deng nodded deeply and said...

"Um!".

"That's true."

Then, Master Deng thought of something and said to Li Feng.

"That's right!"

"Have you seen the list of new members joining the New Color Group?"

Upon hearing this, Li Feng nodded directly to Master Deng.

"Xiao Yu from the personnel department showed it to me. As long as it's someone you've chosen, there shouldn't be any problems."

"However, the most talented one is Hou Yun. He is now the deputy leader of the Qianjiangcai group, but I can teach Hou Yun along with him."

"Hou Yun learns quickly, so we can have him teach them later."

Master Deng thought for a moment, then nodded to Li Feng.

"That's what I think too."

At this point, Li Feng asked Master Deng.

"How many tasks has been drawn up for the nation?"

Master Deng answered directly.

"I've finished part of it. I'm an old man, and I've still drawn so much."

"well".

"However, Hou Yun also helped me draw part of it, and it was alright..."

After understanding the situation, Li Feng nodded to Master Deng.

"That's good. Once they've learned it, you can just guide them from the sidelines, and then you won't have to work so hard."

"And since you're retiring next year, I reckon the factory will rehire you so you can give them some guidance."

At this moment, Master Deng couldn't help but sigh to Li Feng.

"If you've been with the new color group, you don't need to worry about this."

"However, after thinking it over, I realized that you also have your own future, and I can't be so selfish as to insist on keeping you in the New Color Group."

After hearing what Master Deng said, Li Feng felt somewhat guilty.

After all, Master Deng had always groomed him to be his successor. Now that he had been admitted to university and promoted by Director Zheng to deputy director of the factory office, he was bound to be unable to take care of both the production and management of the new color group.

At this point, Li Feng could only apologize to Master Deng.

"Master Deng".

"I".

Before Li Feng could even apologize, Master Deng simply waved his hand at him.

"No need to say anything more."

"I know all that." "You've also made a lot of contributions to our new color team."

"So you don't need to say anything."

"Next, let's teach everyone else, master and apprentice."

"I've never seen your method before."

"Then I'll try this method first."

At this point, Li Feng didn't know what to say, so he could only nod heavily to Master Deng.

"I'll teach you how to use it."

Two hours later.

Master Deng used Li Feng's nine-square grid painting technique to create a new color portrait.

At this moment, Master Deng praised Li Feng.

"This method is really useful. Even apprentices who haven't learned much about the new painting method can now paint relatively accurate new paintings."

Li Feng nodded to Master Deng and said.

"That's right!"

"However, this method is only an auxiliary method at most. In reality, you still have to rely on yourself most of the time."

"If you don't practice properly, no amount of supplementary methods will be of any use."

Master Deng deeply agreed with Li Feng's words.

At this moment, he couldn't help but sigh to Li Feng.

"You're right."

"You worked very hard at drawing back then. Neither Jiang Fei nor Zhang Jiefang could compare to you."

"However, if Jiang Fei and Zhang Jiefang learn the nine-square grid drawing method, they will definitely improve a lot."

Li Feng nodded to Master Deng.

"Both of them are now top-level painters."

"If they learn the nine-square grid drawing method, then the two of them can apply for the level two drawing skills assessment next year."

"I think they both have a very high chance of passing the assessment."

Upon hearing this, Master Deng sighed and said to Li Feng.

"If they had half of your talent, they wouldn't have passed the exam to become first-class painters this month."

Li Feng didn't know what to say about this, because he knew that he had reached such a level by relying on the system and practicing day and night.

As for Jiang Fei and Zhang Jiefang, they didn't have any system help and didn't have much talent, so it's normal that they've only become first-level painters now.

However, with time, they will definitely improve their skills gradually.

That's how crafts are; you can gradually improve your skills over time.

of course!

The most crucial point here is that you have to do it seriously.

If you just go through the motions, you won't make any progress.

Because this principle applies to everything.

At this moment, Li Feng suddenly remembered something, and then he couldn't help but ask Master Deng.

"Master Deng, did Hou Yun also get promoted to Level 4 painter this month?"

Master Deng nodded directly to Li Feng.

"That's right!"

"Hou Yun did indeed achieve a Level 4 painting skill rating this month; Hou Yun's talent is truly remarkable."

"You're now a level 5 painter. If it weren't for your age, you could apply for a level 6 painter exam with your current skills."

"But now that you're a cadre, you probably won't be applying for Level 6 drawing skills again."

Upon hearing Master Deng's words, Li Feng immediately shook his head at him.

"I will definitely apply for Level 6 drawing skill in the future."

Master Deng was somewhat puzzled by this, since Li Feng, as an administrative cadre, was not eligible for subsidies, so he didn't quite understand why Li Feng wanted to apply for Level 6 painter certification.

Next, Master Deng... (End of this chapter)
