Chapter 99: The beauty in ink and wash painting, stunning everyone!

Chapter 99 The ink beauty, stunning skills!
After acquiring the skill of "Master of Painting", Jiang Ning realized that Chinese painting is a very large category.

For example, the themes include people, landscapes, birds, beasts, insects and fish.

For example, according to the classification of techniques, there are line drawing, boneless painting, freehand brushwork, fine brushwork, ink painting and boundary painting.

Jiang Ning plans to use ink and wash when painting Yin Muyan this time.

The so-called ink painting is a painting made by mixing water and ink with different shades of ink.

However, in order to achieve better colors, Jiang Ning planned to paint the characters with ink first, and then color them with paint.

In Jiang Ning's opinion, he has now reached the top of his skills, so there is no need to tiptoe like a novice.

When the ancients painted, they focused on spirit rather than form, and paid attention to the resemblance of spirit rather than form. In other words, charm was more important. To put it more simply, it was to give characters spirituality, making them seem alive and lifelike, as if they were right in front of them.

Just like Cao Zhi's "Goddess of Luo River", although it describes what the goddess looks like, it mainly tells readers the goddess's charm and temperament, allowing people to imagine how beautiful this woman is and how beautiful she is, instead of constantly talking about what her hair, skin color, and eyes are like. The goddess is truly a deity, not an mortal woman.

This is the romance of the ancients, focusing on spirit rather than form.

At this moment, Jiang Ning gained a lot of insights into Chinese painting.

At this time, he picked up a brush and tried the feel of it.

When painting figures in ink and wash style, the main tool is naturally the brush.

Then Jiang Ning looked at Yin Muyan who was sitting over there.

To be honest, Yin Muyan wasn't just sitting there stupidly, or fidgeting.

Girls like Yin Muyan, who come from wealthy families, have the right sitting posture and temperament, and look like ladies from noble families at first glance.

However, Jiang Ning felt that it was still a little lacking.

He feels that whether it is the ancients or modern people who paint, they all focus on capturing the eternal moment. Simplicity and deliberateness will both be lacking. Just like taking photos, sometimes photos taken unintentionally seem to be better looking than those taken carefully.

Or one day you were walking on a small path under the sunset, and inadvertently saw the red glow formed by the setting sun shining on the clouds. You thought it was beautiful, so you took a photo. At this time, you looked at the photo, and saw the afterglow of the setting sun, the red glow of the clouds, pedestrians walking on the road, and a child holding his hand. It turned out that you inadvertently took the people returning home in the photo. This scene was very warm, and you understood that this is a peaceful life.

Many beautiful things are actually left behind in such inadvertent moments.

As for Yin Muyan, there were dozens or even hundreds of people watching her not far away.

The main reason is that she is so beautiful, like a fairy, so many people look at her.

Yin Muyan actually didn't feel anything.

Whenever she goes out, because she is so beautiful, tall and has a good figure, she always gets people turning their heads to look at her on the street.

Yin Muyan has become accustomed to this, so naturally she doesn't think there is anything wrong with it.

She could even automatically ignore these people as if they didn't exist.

However, at this moment, Yin Muyan found that Jiang Ning was looking at her, as if he was thinking.

So, Yin Muyan smiled, and nodded slightly to Jiang Ning.

It was also this smile that gave Jiang Ning a feeling of enlightenment.

Correct!
This is exactly the feeling he wanted, not deliberate, but a casual smile.

Afterwards, Jiang Ning dipped the brush in a little ink and began to draw shapes on the rice paper with the tip of the brush. The so-called drawing shapes means drawing the entire outline of the character.

For Jiang Ning now, this step can be drawn very casually and is not difficult at all.

So all of a sudden, the people who were watching him paint noticed that Jiang Ning quickly drew the entire outline of Yin Muyan.

Hair style, facial contours, body contours, and so on.

"Wow! This guy is really good!"

"It took less than three minutes to draw the outline of the whole person. How skilled is this?"

"Even if it's just the outline, it's already perfect. I just wonder if he can draw the girl?"

"This boy should be the painter here, right?"

"It doesn't seem like it. They came here together just now. Is the girl his girlfriend?"

People were talking a lot.

At this time, everyone saw that Jiang Ning tore the hair of the brush in his hand into a broom shape. Then, Jiang Ning painted hair on the head of the person just drawn on the rice paper. This is a relatively simple way to paint hair.

It didn't take long to draw Yin Muyan's current hairstyle.

Yin Muyan's hairstyle is forehead-revealing, an ancient style of young beauty, very much in her style.
As for Jiang Ning now, the hairstyle is easy to draw, and the hair accessories will be drawn later.

As for the facial features, Jiang Ning thinks this is the last step to draw.

This is the finishing touch.

Whether a beauty is beautiful or not depends not only on her overall appearance but also on her facial features.

Of course, the facial features are also the most difficult to draw, because Jiang Ning wants to give Yin Muyan in the painting a kind of charm and spirituality. If he draws casually, he will not be able to find that feeling.

Therefore, Jiang Ning would draw the whole figure first and then add some embellishments to the facial features, so that the whole character can be more vivid and outstanding.

Then, Jiang Ning started to draw clothes.

Hanfu is actually quite complicated. If it were someone else, they might have to take their time. However, Jiang Ning's current painting level has reached its peak. He does not need to draw the clothes on Yin Muyan exactly the same, even the lines and folds. Jiang Ning chose simple lines from the complex lines of Hanfu to paint.

Simply put, it's good enough.

Beauty is about spirit rather than form. Clothes, hairstyle, etc., these are not the most important. What is important is to give the beauty charm and spirituality.

Jiang Ning would never put the cart before the horse.

The clothes are also in the ink style, but Jiang Ning does not use very heavy ink, but lighter colors. This way, the painting will not be too thick. Too heavy ink does not look good, and pigments will have to be used to add some color later.

After more than ten minutes, Jiang Ning had drawn Yin Muyan's clothes, including the two little hands exposed from her sleeves, which Jiang Ning also drew perfectly.

In the painting, Yin Muyan is sitting on a chair with her hands resting between her legs, giving her a gentle and dignified beauty.

"This guy's skills seem very high. Not only does he draw very quickly, but his work also looks good. He feels much better than the other three slow painters!"

"Why hasn't he painted his face yet? He's just a faceless man, but he should be able to paint it pretty well, right?"

"Is there anyone who knows anything? How is this young man's painting?"

"I feel his level is very high. I can also draw in ink, but I definitely can't draw as fast as him. And he can draw so smoothly and naturally, and even so vividly, like him. His level must be very high!"

"Is this a professional painter? He has been practicing for a long time, so he should be very skilled, right?"

Everyone was talking about it.

"No, his level is no longer comparable to that of a so-called professional painter!"

At this time, the couple of bespectacled painters who were accused by Jiang Ning and others of writing in a petty manner came up.

The one who speaks is the painter.

He pushed up his glasses and continued, "His brushwork is beyond the reach of so-called painters. In the appreciation of Chinese painting, one of the points is called bone-method brushwork, which requires the painter's brush to have strength. Look at the strength he uses when he moves his brush, whether it is soft or hard, light or heavy, as if he has controlled the strength to the extreme, so the lines of the characters he draws are clear and have a strong sense of layering. And look again, the girl he painted is not a direct copy of the surface, that is to say, he did not copy the painting, but only drew the general outline, and he didn't even draw the facial features. I think he is looking for a feeling. In Chinese painting, charm is the most important, much more important than the simple shape."

"Hiss! Here comes someone who knows what's going on!"

someone exclaimed.

After all, today this is an art exhibition with the theme of Chinese painting, so there are many people who understand it.

At this time, another Chinese painter spoke up and said, "In Chinese painting, form is the foundation and spirit is the soul. Everything has life, but if you want to put that life on paper and make it come alive, it depends on the painter's level. So it depends on how this young man paints the facial features and whether he can paint the spirit. It depends on whether he can add the finishing touch!"

"What do you mean by whether you can add the finishing touch? Can you?"

Another painter said, "The people here today are just a bunch of rabble. Who can add the finishing touch? This is not something that a rat can learn. Only a master can do it!"

"Cough cough..."

The painter who spoke originally felt embarrassed to continue speaking because what the other party said did make sense.

"Look! This young man is really good, and has already taken ink painting to a high level! I guess he has some great elders in his family."

Everyone continued the discussion.

At this time, Jiang Ning lightly dipped the tip of his pen into the ink.

In painting, the facial features of a person are not simple, especially the eyes.

Therefore, Jiang Ning saved his eyes until the very end.

Eyes are the soul of a person and the most important step.

Soon, Jiang Ning drew Yin Muyan's nose and mouth.

Yin Muyan in the painting is smiling, but Jiang Ning drew a slightly mischievous smile.

As for the painting process, he paints very casually. The so-called casual does not mean casually, but he paints based on a feeling, so he does not paint randomly. Feeling is very important, and it can also be said to be inspiration.

In art, being too cautious will not do you any good.

Mindset is very important.

There is a saying: A good article is a natural creation, and it is the result of a skilled hand.

That's what I said.

If you try hard to do something, you won't do it well. That's the truth.

Once the feeling comes, you can write as if inspired by God and inspiration will flow like a spring.

"The nose and mouth are all there, it's such a beautiful drawing!"

"This boy is really talented, much better than the other three painters!"

"A cherry mouth and a beautiful nose, the ancients were not wrong!"

"I'm really looking forward to drawing this girl's eyes and eyebrows, that's all that's missing!"

Everyone discussed.

At the same time, Jiang Ning glanced at Yin Muyan, and then began to draw her eyebrows.

I have to say that Yin Muyan, Yu Churan and the others all have very beautiful eyebrows. They are not the kind that are drawn after putting on makeup, but are purely natural and beautiful.

Sure enough, the beauty of a beautiful woman is in all aspects.

Soon, Yin Muyan's eyebrows came out. They looked very beautiful, but they were just two casual strokes by Jiang Ning.

This is Jiang Ning’s level.

Next, the eyes.

Because eyes are the most important, Jiang Ning thought about it for a while and looked at Yin Muyan again.

Yin Muyan also looked at him, but Yin Muyan was not the kind of girl who was truly cold and aloof. She could be naughty, lively, cunning, or had other characteristics that Jiang Ning did not understand.

For example, now, she blinked at Jiang Ning, mischievously and smartly, like a vixen.

But when Jiang Ning saw her blink, he felt it.

In fact, what he wants is the feeling.

After all, he was not painting a wooden beauty, he wanted Yin Muyan in the painting to be lively and spiritual.

Then, a pair of eyes appeared.

First, the beautiful outline of the eyes.

Yin Muyan's eyes are almond-shaped.

The so-called phoenix eyes refer to eyes with pointed fronts pointing downwards and eye tails upturned. This type of eyes is particularly lively and can convey all kinds of charm in the movement of their eyes.

Soon, the outline of the phoenix eyes appeared.

Then Jiang Ning began to draw eyelashes. Yin Muyan's eyelashes were long and beautiful.

But it shouldn't be fake, right?
Jiang Ning knew that some girls had fake eyelashes.

But Yin Muyan should not be fake.

At this moment of painting, Jiang Ning became a little picky. He felt that the beauty in the painting should be perfect and pure. After all, he was responsible for painting, so naturally there was his own will involved.

"The last pupil is missing!"

"This boy's painting skills are really extraordinary. He hasn't finished the painting yet, but the girl in the painting looks like she's about to jump out!"

"This is a master! Damn, how can he be so young?"

"The final pupil is the highlight! This is where the finishing touch is!"

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Jiang Ning's pen, waiting to see how he would draw the eyes.

This is also not difficult for Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning drew the pupil with just a few strokes.

This is the feeling, just get started.

As I said, doing things cautiously will not do the job well.

It was also at this moment that Yin Muyan in the painting seemed to come alive.

A beautiful girl full of charm seems to be coming out of the painting. She seems to be looking at everyone, looking at everyone, and seems to be walking out of it. The moment she has eyes, she in the painting comes alive.

Even if it's just an ink painting.

"It's done!"

"Awesome! This guy is really talented!"

"No! His level is super high! Look at the girls in Hanfu drawn by other artists, their eyes are far worse than his! It's like copying a cat, and they can't capture the spirit of the characters at all! But this guy's drawing seems to come alive!"

Everyone exclaimed.

The painter with glasses said at this time: "The spirit and charm are vivid and jump out of the paper. This is the painting that captures the spirit! This is the first time I have seen someone paint ink paintings so well in real life!"

"Yes, he already has that kind of charm. Does this young man have someone behind him? Not only is his calligraphy good, but his paintings are also so good!"

The woman in the Tang suit couldn't help but admire him. She wasn't a person who cared too much about face. She had been criticized by Jiang Ning and the others before, but she would admit that Jiang Ning's calligraphy was good. Now, she would also admit that Jiang Ning's paintings were good!
"Ink painting, calligraphy, doing so well in both fields, is this an all-rounder?"

The bespectacled painter couldn't help but marvel at it. In his opinion, he could paint Chinese paintings and write calligraphy, but it was impossible for him to be as good as Jiang Ning in both.

What's even more frightening is that Jiang Ning is very casual whether he is writing or painting in ink.

This is not an ordinary person.

Only after reading thousands of books can you write like a god.

When those great poets wrote poems, just one or two lines of emotion could become famous lines that will be passed down through the ages.

That's casual.

In other words, Jiang Ning's level of painting and writing is very high, otherwise, he would not be able to do it so casually!

Let’s talk about this now.

Yin Muyan saw people exclaiming in amazement and became curious.

"Jiang Ning, have you finished painting?"

"Almost done, come and take a look!"

At this time, Jiang Ning painted the hair accessories and hairpins.

In fact, all that’s left now is coloring, that is, coloring the skin color and the clothes.
