Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

Chapter 89 was colored in just one day?
This time, a considerable number of porcelain pieces were fired in the blue and white kiln.

Aside from the flower and bird design with its strong contrast between sunlight and shadow that Li Feng initially saw, there were also many landscape porcelain vases.

At this moment, Li Feng remembered that landscapes were a relatively large category in blue and white porcelain.

Because it has the most students.

It's also quick to learn.

Because in underglaze blue and white porcelain, the lines for painting rocks, thatch, and various trees do not need to be stacked with the lines for painting figures, and can have a feeling of iron wire.

It's okay if you can only draw short lines.

Long lines are rarely used, or almost never, in landscape painting; most of the time, two short lines are joined together.

Therefore, it is easy to learn how to paint blue and white landscapes.

It's easy to get started, but difficult to master.

Therefore, skilled blue-and-white landscape painters are usually quite old.

As for the path of mountains and rivers, Li Feng has no plans to get involved yet.

Although landscape painting is quick and has a high ceiling.

But Li Feng felt that he didn't have that kind of insight when it came to painting landscapes.

Currently, although Li Feng can imitate the landscape examples in Ma Tai's Painting Treasures, it takes a lot of time. Moreover, Ma Tai's Painting Treasures are more skilled in figure painting, while he studies Mustard Seed Garden more for landscape painting.

of course!

This was also what Li Feng had heard.

Li Feng hasn't looked into the Mustard Seed Garden Manual of Painting yet.

I heard that the factory seems to have a Mustard Seed Garden, but it should be located in the archives room.

As for why the above wasn't shown to everyone, Li Feng had no idea why.

The higher-ups wouldn't mention this, and even the masters would recommend buying books from bookstores outside.

Next

Li Feng waited here for the low-temperature porcelain to be fired in the kiln.

About forty minutes later.

The low-temperature kiln has finally been started.

It must be said that the production process of ceramics is indeed quite complicated.

But this also endows it with high artistic value.

At this moment, Yuan Xin patted Li Feng on the shoulder and then said to Li Feng.

"Your porcelain slab is ready."

Then Yuan Xin pointed to the porcelain slab at the very edge of the low-temperature kiln.

Li Feng nodded and thanked Yuan Xin.

Thanks.

"I'll go get it right away."

"Master Deng is waiting for it urgently."

Yuan Xin nodded, then asked Li Feng.

"Do you need any help?"

Li Feng shook his head.

"Is this too much for me to carry?"

"Back when I was in the pottery workshop, you saw how I moved the pottery blanks."

At this moment, Yuan Xin nodded and said.

"All right.".

"I have something to do, so I'll go take care of it now."

Li Feng immediately waved his hand at Yuan Xin and said.

"Go..."

Next.

Li Feng carried the large porcelain slab directly back to the painting workshop.

When Li Feng appeared in the new color painting group of the painting workshop, Master Deng looked in Li Feng's direction.

He then stood up and asked Li Feng.

"How's it burning?"

Li Feng placed the porcelain plaque on the table and then pointed to it.

"The lines are very stable and haven't fallen off."

"There was no color fading from rubbing or scratching."

Master Deng nodded, then looked at the porcelain plaque.

Although Li Feng had just said it once, he still wanted to check it again.

After all, this is a task that needs to be completed.

Master Deng was just testing Li Feng to see if he was careful enough.

After Master Deng finished his inspection, he noticed that Li Feng had examined the area very carefully.

The current condition of the ceramic slab is as described by Li Feng.

He was very satisfied, and then Master Deng told Li Feng to continue painting, while he went to do his own thing.

After all, Master Deng is quite busy every day.

Meanwhile, the other members of the Shinsai Group were diligently painting their own porcelain pieces.

Two yuan in performance bonus is still very high for apprentices.

At that time, they could paint one round porcelain plate in a day and a half.

If you calculate it this way, they earn much more than they did in the pastel workshop before.

So

Li Feng then spent the next day completing the remaining painting on the porcelain slab. However, this left him quite exhausted.

Fortunately, it was only the coloring part; otherwise, Li Feng might not have been able to finish drawing all of these today.

Li Feng finished drawing this part today and gained a lot of experience.

This made Li Feng quite happy.

The more proficient Li Feng became, the more skillful he became in using his techniques.

Five p.m
After Li Feng finished drawing, he told Master Deng about it.

After all, this was a task assigned from above, so no matter what, we still had to let Master Deng check whether it was up to standard.

So Li Feng went directly to Master Deng to discuss this matter.

When Master Deng learned that Li Feng had finished painting the porcelain plaque today, he was completely stunned.

So he couldn't help but ask Li Feng a question.

"You've filled in the entire large porcelain slab with color?"

Li Feng then answered Master Deng earnestly.

"I've filled it all out."

Although Master Deng knew that Li Feng could draw quickly, he didn't expect it to be this fast.

He couldn't help but think that Li Feng's coloring process should take two days.
As a result, Li Feng finished filling in the colors today.

This greatly surprised Master Deng.

At this moment, Master Deng nodded to Li Feng and said...

"Um!".

"I'll go take a look."

After Master Deng finished looking at the parts that Li Feng had colored.

He didn't find any problems because Li Feng's color transitions were very good, and every part looked comfortable.

Moreover, the expressions of the working people depicted by Li Feng are very simple and honest.

At this moment, Master Deng felt that Li Feng's painting was perfect.

With Li Feng's skill level, he is fully capable of completing the tasks assigned to him.

So he couldn't help but nod and praise Li Feng.

"Um!".

"You drew very well."

"As long as there are no problems after burning, you can hand it in."

Li Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"As long as there are no problems, I'm relieved now."

Seeing Li Feng's relieved expression, Master Deng smiled and patted Li Feng on the back.

"This is nothing."

"What you'll experience later might be even more important than this task."

At this moment, Li Feng seemed to understand what Master Deng meant.

Currently, many of the tasks assigned by the ministry need to be completed by the new color porcelain group, followed by blue and white porcelain and famille rose porcelain.

In other words, Master Deng is very likely to entrust this kind of task to me in the future.

Thinking of this, Li Feng was filled with mixed emotions.

Master Deng entrusted such an important task to himself, which shows the trust Master Deng placed in him.

After all, Li Feng knew that most masters wouldn't dare entrust such an important task to their apprentices.

Because Master Deng is the one primarily responsible, if I mess things up, Master Deng might also be disciplined.

So Li Feng nodded seriously to Master Deng.

"Master Deng, I understand."

"I will definitely give my all to every task."

After hearing Li Feng's words, Master Deng nodded in satisfaction and praised him.

"it is good!".

"That's the drive I need from you."

"You've had a tough day too."

"After you get off work, go home and get some rest. Tomorrow is a holiday, so relax at home."

Li Feng nodded to Master Deng in response.

"it is good".

Next

When it was time to leave work, Master Deng directed the other members of the new color team to take the porcelain slabs that Li Feng had painted to be fired.

This porcelain slab was fired twice.

The first step is to fix the lines and draw the shaded areas.

The second firing will produce the finished product.

Li Feng finished his meal in the canteen and then left the factory to head home.

Li Feng walked and thought at the same time.

Tomorrow is Sunday, a day off, so I can finally relax at home.

At this moment, Li Feng remembered something else.

I'm going to the library to see Ding Qiunan tomorrow because I need to tutor her.

Even so, I can still sleep until eight or nine o'clock tomorrow.

Thinking about it this way, it's actually quite good.
