God-level Golden Hand

Chapter 1434 This is talent

Well, to say ruined is a bit of an exaggeration.

An Xin's character and ability are here. Even if she takes a slant on the way of painting, it will not really make her a useless person. At most, she will not have too much achievement in painting, or take more detours That's all.

But there is a smooth road, so why do you have to take a detour?
Are you looking for abuse?
What nonsense such as taking more detours to improve experience, etc., just listen to it, comforting people, it is the same as the nonsense of "everyone is dead, it is good to charge a little gift", it sounds reasonable, but in fact it is bullshit Not as good.

Going back to learning painting, taking a detour does have some advantages. You can try other ways, know that the way is wrong, and experience the feeling of going the wrong way. It is really beneficial.

But if you want this kind of experience, you don’t have to test the poison yourself, and there is no need to take a detour when laying the foundation. Learn from other people's work by analyzing it.

So it is better to avoid detours if they can be avoided.

Moreover, after taking a detour in the foundation stage, and then wanting to return to the right path, it is not enough to just talk about it. It takes a long time, a lot of practice, and the determination and perseverance of a strong man to do it. The time span It can be as short as three or two years, as long as ten years, and it may even be impossible to get back for a lifetime.

This is no joke.

To give the simplest example, when learning calligraphy, the calligraphy teacher will talk about the posture of holding the brush, and then tell everyone which one is correct and which one is wrong, and then everyone remembers the correct one.

But does grip actually matter?

important, not important.

For beginners, correct pen holding posture is indeed essential.

But after getting started, the posture is not so important, because the posture is only the posture of holding the brush. For calligraphy, the gesture, structure, and strength of the brush are the most important. As for how you hold the brush and what kind of pen you write with, It doesn't matter at all.

If the posture of holding a pen is so important, why don't left-handers learn calligraphy?What about Six Fingers?What about the four-fingered man?Or simply people without fingers?These people don't need to learn calligraphy?

of course not.

Throughout the history of calligraphy, many calligraphers have different postures for holding the brush. The most typical one is Su Shi. Su Shi's unique method of holding the brush is taboo in the eyes of many calligraphers, but this does not affect Su Shi at all. Become a Calligraphy Master.

Similar examples include the height of the pen grip, the position of the wrist and elbow, and so on.

Perhaps beginners really need to pay attention to these, but for someone like Xu Jingxing who is fully engaged in the profession and has some attainments and his own understanding of calligraphy, these rules are no longer rules, and they can be broken or established at any time. new.

In a word, come as you like.

With his current ability, he can write well even with a brush in his mouth, but is it suitable for beginners?Not at all.

Therefore, it is very important to choose the appropriate entry-level genre at the foundation stage. If you choose the wrong one, the foundation will be missed, and future achievements will be affected, and it will be more difficult to change, just like the method of writing. It is very difficult to change the law after learning it.

Why change?
Su Shi's writing method may be suitable for some people, but it may not be suitable for everyone, and beginners cannot accurately distinguish this point, and by the time they can distinguish it, it has been hard to return.

Therefore, it is very important for beginners to have a good master to teach seriously.

Especially for beginners like An Xin who are determined to develop to a higher level, having a good master is the most important thing, so as not to make detours when laying the foundation.

But now, An Xin bypassed Xu Jingxing, the master, and learned the theoretical knowledge of traditional painting by herself.

Although An Xin has a certain foundation in art, what is such a foundation compared to the vast number of traditional art theories?That is the difference between a drop of water and an ocean.

So Xu Jingxing was very worried that An Xin had gone the wrong way.

But he can't reprimand directly.

After thinking about it, he spread the painting in his hand on the table, "Tell me what you think about this painting first."

An Xin observed the painting carefully for a few minutes before saying: "It's very beautiful, the techniques and colors are very natural, the layers are very clear, and the layout is very clever."

"Be specific."

An Xin grinned: "Master, no matter how specific I am, I can't understand it. I just think it's really beautiful, and I feel a sense of peace when I'm there."

"How many chapped brushes can you recognize?"

"Well, there is mochi chapped, and cloud-toed chapped. And then, I don't know. The chapped method in this painting is very strange. Many of them are specious but natural. They are completely different from the chapped methods I know."

"Then what do you think is the best part of this painting?"

"The best?" An Xin scratched the center of her eyebrows, tilted her head and looked at the scroll for a few more minutes: "Is it the layout? This layout is very natural, and the combination of density and density is very good. The proportion of the mountain and the division of the water are very clever, especially the mountain path, which extends from the upper left to the lower right of the picture and turns three small folds in the middle, dividing the whole picture into two large ones. part, creating a clever visual effect that draws the focus of attention to the two masters and servants on the path."

After hearing An Xin's answer, Xu Jingxing smiled in satisfaction.

This apprentice is really worry-free. He can learn this level by himself, which has surpassed the students who graduated from many professional art schools.

Don't think the answer is simple, in fact it is not easy to tell the difference accurately.

The standard of Shi Tao's works is naturally very high, there is no need to doubt this, it is impossible to praise too much, any art student can pick out a lot of advantages.But it is difficult to find the most brilliant content on such a painting.

It is easy to find a good piece of jade in a pile of stones, but it is very difficult to find the best piece of jade out of a lot of good stones. You must have good eyesight.

Shi Tao's paintings are such a large pile of beautiful jade, and An Xin successfully found the best piece from this pile of beautiful jade.

That's right, the most ingenious point in Shi Tao's painting lies in the layout.

What is layout, is the layout of these scenes in the painting, just like decorating a house, where to put the cabinet, where to put the bed, where to put the coffee table, all of these are particular. Whether they are placed well or not depends on the layout ability of the decorator. .

Putting it in the painting, how to arrange the landscape, figures, wood, stone and other elements in the painting is a test of the painter's layout ability.

Naturally, Shi Tao's layout ability is not bad, but in this painting, it is not very eye-catching, because other skills in the painting are also not bad, or even better, such as brushwork, coloring, conception, etc., but ingenious, really Still have to count the layout.

The layout of this painting is not outstanding at first glance, but in Xu Jingxing's eyes, this natural layout ability is the most brilliant part of this painting. It can completely integrate so many wonderful elements into such a painting, and makes This painting looks very natural and harmonious, and all the credit lies in the layout of this painting.

And the line-of-sight cut mentioned by An Xin is only a part of the layout.

But An Xin can see this, which is enough to prove that this precious apprentice of him is not just kidding around, nor has he taken a detour, and has learned a lot, not simply hiding it.

With such an apprentice, what else is he dissatisfied with?
So he chuckled: "It seems that you have learned a lot. Come on, tell me where you learned it from."

An Xin shrunk her neck and stuck out her tongue, knowing that this test was passed, and then honestly began to talk about the learning experience of these days, the talk was very detailed, not only about what she learned, how she learned, but also how she learned it. She talked about her own feelings about those theories.

And Xu Jingxing had to admit after listening patiently, An Xin is really a genius.

His precious apprentice didn't suddenly want to learn on a whim, but felt some limitations in sculpture, so he tried to start from the art of sculpture, observing the works of other master sculptors, studying the creative ideas of those master sculptors, and pondering Those sculptors' attainments and theories in art, and then find something suitable for her.

Such a person is not a genius, what is a genius?
And because An Xin does not directly start from various art theories, but explores from the aspect of sculpture art combined with reality, so he is more sensitive to elements such as layers, space, light and shade, lines, and three-dimensional, and naturally he is slightly biased when studying related force theories. Because of these, Shi Tao, as a master of layout, is naturally within the scope of An Xin's research.

Therefore, it is really not a surprise that An Xin can perform like today.

Thinking of this, Xu Jingxing decided to send An Xin to a formal academy of fine arts for further studies.

But after thinking about it, I decided to give up this plan, because for An Xin, formal and systematic learning might not be beneficial.

If it is an ordinary wild way, formal and systematic learning is definitely necessary, but An Xin started from sculpture and based on traditional culture. Under his guidance, he has embarked on a fairly formal path. Although it is also a wild way, But it is the kind of wild road with a bright future, and even a brighter future than regular professional colleges.

In this case, it would not be good for An Xin to accept that kind of learning.

Well, such a good apprentice, it's better to cultivate it yourself.

Maybe after a few years, a real master can really be cultivated.

Of course, with An Xin's talent, everything else is just side-effects. Practice is the best way out for An Xin. That is more meaningful than becoming an art master or making a lot of money. There are right and wrong, but there are degrees of severity, he believes that An Xin will make the right choice.

If An Xin really wanted to be a simple master of arts and crafts, then he wouldn't say anything.
