My art is too advanced.

Chapter 206: The gifted monster cannot be stopped! (Monthly ticket requested!!!)

"Teacher Zhou, please come and show us what it's like to be respected even though you are not from a professional background." The senior executive in charge said with a smile.

He could naturally see that the students of the Academy of Fine Arts admired Teacher Zhou's painting skills, otherwise they would not have asked Teacher Zhou to paint in front of so many people.

He has been in the world of fame and fortune for so many years, and he can tell at a glance whether the person in front of him wants to embarrass Teacher Zhou in public.

The blond young man was sincere, even expectant.

He was also curious, does Teacher Zhou really know how to do it?
But it doesn’t matter whether it will happen or not. Since someone wants him to come up, it’s better to help them.

Moreover, he seemed to have heard about the story of Teacher Zhou designing the Provincial Grand Theater next door and stunning the audience with his painting skills.

Since it was handled by Teacher Zhou and it was also an accomplished building, he paid some attention to it.

I've heard about this incident, but I don't know any details.

If Teacher Zhou draws on the spot, they will naturally welcome it with open arms.

"I think it doesn't matter what Mr. Zhou's level is. What's important is that he adds luster to today's event. I think the paintings drawn by Mr. Zhou can also be permanently collected by the art museum."

Another senior executive also agreed with a smile. He is the director of this art gallery.

"It's enough to have this thought and idea."

Even Professor Huo looked over at this moment.

"Teacher Zhou, just paint with confidence. Although we are professionals, we lack craftsmanship. Many times, we cannot paint what we have in mind."

"If Mr. Zhou has some time to show us how folk artists who are not trained in painting can actually do great things."

Professor Huo really had some appreciation for this humble young man in front of him.

From the conversation, he also knew the status of Teacher Zhou in front of him.

In Ning Province, it can be said that it is very famous.

Such people are worth making friends with.

Moreover, after making friends, people will definitely feel that they are enjoying each other.

Zhou Yue no longer refused.

If I refuse again, it will sound fake. "Since the leaders and Professor Huo think highly of me, I will give it a try."

"That couldn't be better!"

Spread out a piece of rice paper.

Zhou Yue picked up the brush beside him and moistened it with the clean water beside him.

Dip the belly of the brush into thick ink and put a little blue pigment on the tip of the brush.

This move alone made Professor Huo, who was standing by, take it seriously.

Apart from anything else, this action is extremely professional, and this type of color mixing is one of the most common types in Chinese painting.

“Do you want to draw mountains too?”

Zhou Yue didn't hesitate and started writing quickly.

Rich in color.

Start writing from one side and with just a casual stroke of the pen, you can naturally see the outline of a mountain emerging.

"Freehand painting? And large-scale freehand painting?" A student quickly recognized his technique and exclaimed.

While meticulous brushwork is intricate and delicate, freehand brushwork is imaginative, unrestrained and unconstrained, and can use very exaggerated brushstrokes to express a painting.

However, this technique is rarely seen in this art gallery.

They are basically all fine brushwork.

Because it is difficult to graduate from freehand painting, the pursuit of individuality and unrestrainedness requires a deep accumulation of humanistic background, which is difficult for many people to do.

And it's not easy to judge that kind of free and easy attitude.

You can simply use a few strokes to highlight a scene, but how many points can you get with just a few strokes?
Therefore, most people are good at detailed painting.

The delicate brushstrokes, coupled with the soft lines, were enough to graduate with high marks.

They are students of the Academy of Fine Arts, and graduation is indeed their priority.

As for some inspirations for painting, some of them can be simply highlighted, but not all of them.

You can practice it, but if you don't get any results, it's worthless in this evaluation system.

Therefore, what most people pursue are things whose depth can be seen at a glance.

Professor Huo also looked a little serious.

So many things can be seen from this mountain and this stroke.

With one stroke of the brush, a mountain peak appears vaguely.

Then, with just a few strokes, the outline of the entire landscape painting was revealed.

Rugged rocks and green pines and cypresses.

They all seem to be hidden in a touch of green.

This is the simplest painting method in Chinese painting.

Everyone can draw, but not everyone can draw well.

Many students in the Chinese painting department have surprisingly serious expressions.

Staring quietly at the tip of his pen.

No one can imagine where his next move will be, and no one can guess what he is thinking.

This is what freehand painting is like.

Spread out a picture, let all the scenery talk to people, and describe what a person is thinking.

There are some simple similarities with Western abstract paintings.

The sense of picture is presented through the metaphor of colors and the rules between some scenes.

However, it is different from abstract paintings. For example, a flower is painted in freehand style. What is painted is that thing. No matter how the brush is drawn, how it is exaggerated and expressed, it is still that flower.

An abstract painting requires someone to interpret it as that flower.

As for what the final product will be like, that depends on the skills of the writer.

Everyone held their breath, waiting for the painting to be completed.

Each stroke is made at a surprising angle, but after completion, each stroke makes people feel that it should be that way.

Just right.

Whether it is mountains or rivers, they can be fully expressed with just a few strokes.

In some places the ink is very thick, and even different pens are used; in other places it is extremely light and elegant, but from the overall perspective, it seems that one can feel the changes in light and shadow that come from nature.

There are even large areas of blank space.

It was just painted with a very light color, and you can't tell it unless you look closely, but it adds a lot of brilliance to the overall look.

"Finish."

Finally, use a few strokes of light ink to outline the sea of ​​clouds around the mountains, and the painting is completely completed.

All in all, it took less than ten minutes.

It is difficult to imagine such a large work.

It can be completed in such a short time.

"Is that all?" A senior executive next to him was surprised.

It feels like waking up from a dream, and looking at his paintings is a real pleasure.

It can allow people to break away from the secular state and completely immerse themselves in the painting in front of them.

"It's over."

"I think some villages or something like that would be better. There should be people living deep in the white clouds." The leading senior executive spoke up.

"it is good."

Zhou Yue continued to pick up the paintbrush and adjusted the color.

With a few dots and a faint line, a village appears.

In this painting, the added things don't feel out of place, as if there should be such a village there.

And very little is written about it.

After all, it was Party A who asked to add it, so Zhou Yue was very obedient.

Because once the client is satisfied, they will hardly raise any excessive opinions. Although the client's aesthetic standards are erratic, as long as you do it with your heart, there will naturally be no big problems.

If there are any unreasonable requests, it will be Party A’s problem.

Everyone burst into applause unconsciously.

Zhou Yue was also looking at the painting in front of him.

There is no doubt that although it took only ten minutes to make, the brushwork is quite delicate.

Not so many lines are used to express various shapes.

However, the depth of color and some color changes can be used to clearly show the light and shadow and even the color of the shape.

He felt that this painting could at least be rated s-.

After all, the top management wants to put this painting in a museum.

It couldn't be too bad, so I just put in a little effort.

"It's a great painting." The leading senior executive spoke up.

After Zhou Yue added a few strokes, the picture looked more vivid, at least that's how he felt.

"Yes, this painting and Professor Huo's painting are both excellent. They are fully qualified to be displayed in a contemporary art museum. This is real art!"

"It is amazing that Mr. Zhou can paint so vividly even though he is not a professional."

"I even think that this painting is not inferior to Professor Huo's landscape painting."

This senior executive just says whatever he wants.

The artistic conception and interest conveyed by the two are different.

There is no difference between the two.

"Teacher Zhou, have you really never learned it?" Professor Huo smiled bitterly. "Some of his techniques are even much better than the Chinese painting skills of some senior masters I've seen."

"If he really figured it out by himself, then he can definitely be called a genius."

"I am impressed by Mr. Zhou's level."

"I've taken some courses." Zhou Yue responded ambiguously.

Professor Huo said solemnly, "Chinese painting requires talent, and talent accounts for a much larger proportion than hard work."

"Especially this kind of freehand painting, whether it is the sensitivity to color, light and shadow, or the clear expression of things, it all requires a strong talent. I see the shadows of many famous artists in this picture."

"But it doesn't mean that this painting is a copy, or borrowed from the techniques of those famous artists. It's completely a common trait of strange talent."

"With such a strong talent, it's impossible not to accept it."

"Teacher Zhou is one of the top three people with the most talent I've ever met."

No wonder Gao Yingjie had previously suggested that Teacher Zhou also paint.

If he had known this would be the case, he would have suggested it earlier.

And the two paintings were right there.

If you look closely, even Professor Huo thinks that Zhou Yue's painting is better.

This has nothing to do with ratings.

Just according to aesthetic requirements, Mr. Zhou's paintings are obviously more in line with the aesthetics of traditional Chinese people.

Whether it is the majestic mountains, or the natural images sketched out with just a few strokes, and the rich colors when necessary and the perfect display of images when necessary.

It seems that no stroke is superfluous, every stroke expresses something and is deeply appealing.

At this moment, he thought of his teacher.

He was a great Chinese painter from the last century, and he has long passed away.

This is the teacher's painting style.

Gao Yingjie, who was standing by, guessed that Teacher Zhou's painting would be very good.

But I didn’t expect it to be this good!
"A person like Teacher Zhou is indeed beyond the comprehension of us mortals."

After all, the last time he saw Teacher Zhou painting.

That's still painting with oil paint.

At that time, he felt that Teacher Zhou's color matching was extremely professional, and even every color was extremely vivid.

Every color is just right and is the color the writer wants most.

But it was an oil painting.

Today's painting.

But it’s a serious ink painting style!

Whether it is the various pigments of Chinese painting, or the use of different sizes of brushes.

These are the basic skills of traditional Chinese painting.

Many people may spend their entire lives and it would be good enough if they could reach the pinnacle or even reach a level of specialization in one field.

however.

With Teacher Zhou, not only can you master it, you can even astound everyone with your skills.

He could feel that the applause from those around him was extremely approving.

Recognize the level of Teacher Zhou.

Because they can understand this painting and can see the strong emotional fluctuations expressed in the painting.

This requires a very deep level of attainment.

It can shock laymen and shock experts even more.

This is amazing, it is even more difficult for amateurs than those who have received professional training.

They are indeed trained professionals, but Chinese painting is something that takes years and months to achieve.

Especially this kind of thing that can be called "literati painting".

Freehand painting is this kind of literati painting.

It requires extremely profound background and academic accomplishment to be able to present this scene vividly.

Gongbi is the style most people use for practice.

Freehand brushwork is the pinnacle of literati painting.

As for those who combine the two, that is another matter.

“I didn’t expect that Mr. Zhou has dabbled in both traditional Chinese and Western painting styles, and has achieved such a high level.”

“It’s really admirable.”

Gao Yingjie opened his mouth and couldn't help but admire.

The people nearby were also discussing it.

"Mr. Zhou's painting skills are really high. Does he also know Western painting?"

"I declare that Teacher Zhou is my number one idol."

"How come you're so amazing? Not only is you a university professor, but you're also developing a side business? Are you planning to enter the painting industry?"

"If nothing else, Mr. Zhou is such an all-rounder, and this kind of talent could only have appeared during the Western Renaissance."

"Professor Huo previously drew a mountain in Ningling. I wonder which mountain Teacher Zhou drew?"

“I look like Huangshan.”

"It looks like Wuyi Mountain to me."

"It's obviously Mount Qingcheng."

"..."

"Teacher Zhou, can you tell me which mountain is this painting?" asked a senior executive nearby.

"A mountain is just a mountain, there is no specific mountain." Zhou Yue said with a smile. "Traveling around the mountains to prepare a sketch is the basic skill of landscape painting."

After Professor Huo heard this, his eyebrows moved.

"What a wonderful sentence!"

"Traveling through the mountains and coming up with a sketch is easier said than done. Teacher Zhou is indeed a freehand painter. Even his casual words are so Zen-like."
