God-level Golden Hand

Chapter 198

Of course, a good work of art does not only have the background and the finishing touch. Any factor in the work is directly related to the beauty and grade of the work.

For Shoushan stone carvings, in addition to the shape and color, the carving is the most important thing. The more delicate, realistic and realistic the carvings are, the more popular they are.

Xu Jingxing himself had never been to Fragrant Hills, and he didn't know what Fragrant Hills looked like, but he had seen such a photo in Old Man Zhu's room, which was old man Zhu taking pictures with several people on Fragrant Hills, with the background The red leaves of Fragrant Hills.

He carved it in front of that photo, and coincidentally, the shape of this Shoushan stone is slightly similar to the outline of Xiangshan in the background of the photo, especially the red leaves, which are even more similar to the stone. The red part above is very similar.

It can even be said that this piece of Shoushan Stone exists for this photo.In addition, old man Zhu seemed to value that photo very much, so he decided to use that photo as the original shape to carve this Shoushan Stone.

The effect is natural and impeccable. The Shoushan stone carvings on the base are almost at the same level as the background of the photo, and the details are even more detailed than the photos. The rocks, paths, trees, streams and characters on the mountain are all lifelike. The smallest The details are only the size of a grain of rice.

The content of the whole carving is actually very simple. It is a scene of several tourists climbing the Fragrant Mountain to view the red leaves. The main purpose is to highlight the stretch of the Fragrant Mountain and the fiery red of the red leaves. Techniques, while highlighting the theme, every detail has been taken care of.

For example, the four villains who climbed the mountain together, although they look like ancient people in ancient costumes, and they don't show their faces, they can only see their backs, but the back of one of them is almost exactly the same as that of old man Zhu, and he knows old man Zhu People who know it at a glance know, "Oh, this is old man Zhu".

In addition to figures, he carved stone paths, rivers, trees and other themes in detail. The stone paths are used to pave the stone slabs and the gaps between the stone slabs can be seen clearly. The railings at the corners of the stone paths It’s even more like the real thing, the size and ratio even the patterns on the railings are not overlooked, it’s just like a “picture-in-picture” effect.

This is the characteristic of Shoushan stone carving, because the material of Shoushan stone is fine and soft, and it can be carved very strong. It will not collapse if you carve it however you want. It is not as brittle as ordinary stone. Finely carved.

Therefore, the general Shoushan stone carvings are in this extremely complicated and extremely detailed style.

Of course, Xu Jingxing's craftsmanship is worth so much money, so it is definitely not so simple. It is not difficult to make it extremely complicated and detailed. A normal sculptor can do it after a few years of hard work.The difficulty lies in how to make the scenes of the carvings show the magnificence and magnificence of the scenes in the extremely complicated and fine details. After all, what he carved are landscape-themed carvings. If a mountain is too petty, can it still be regarded as a mountain?

To achieve this, it doesn’t mean that you can do it just because you can carve it. You need design, and you need to compose the picture according to the shape, color and other details of the stone. To put it more bluntly, you need to paint on the stone, and what you need is creation. Ability, rather than pure hands-on ability.

Creative ability, especially high-level creative ability, is not possessed by ordinary sculptors. If an individual has strong carving ability and high-level artistic creation ability at the same time, he is like a master.

Xu Jingxing naturally dare not call himself a master now, but his artistic creation ability is unquestionable, especially when carving, he has a very precise grasp of the selection and layout of various themes, and he is very precise about the space, light and shade, yin and yang, Elements such as density and hierarchy are also well controlled.

When he carves details, he doesn't blindly seek fine details. The places that should be detailed are very detailed, and the places that should be rough are appropriately thickened. The connection and transition of each theme in the works are also smooth and natural.

Only when this can be done can the carving be regarded as an excellent work and have a wider appreciation space.

Obviously, this piece he created is very good. The overall layout is dense and dense, the layers are clear, the structure is clear, and the conception is not particularly lofty, but it fits the old man Zhu's heart and is not out of the ordinary. In addition to his exquisite carving, This Shoushan stone carving is obviously several grades higher than those sold in the market.

The old man Zhu has been overjoyed to see this carved piece transformed from a stubborn stone step by step to what it is now. When the carved piece is combined with the base, his eyes are even more shining. I couldn't help but slapped the bear's paw and praised loudly: "Beautiful, so beautiful."

Xu Jingxing chuckled, "I'm afraid it won't be pretty, you always slap it down, I can't stand your slaps."

"Hahaha, you kid, didn't you accidentally slap you that day, and you still missed it, is this trying to ridicule me until the New Year?" Old man Zhu laughed and took a magnifying glass, and moved it to the sculpture. Before looking at the piece seriously, the expression is very careful, as if he wants to keep every detail on the carving in his heart, and he nods while looking at it, obviously very satisfied with the carving.

An Xin poked Xu Jingxing's shoulder from the side, then gave a thumbs up to express her appreciation, then pursed her lips and smiled, which was pretty nice.

Xu Jingxing was stunned for a while, and then laughed.

At this time, someone knocked on the door "dong dong dong", An Xin hurriedly said, "I'll go and open the door."

Old man Zhu put down his magnifying glass and said with a smile, "I guess it's Lao He."

"Ah? Mr. He is here too?" Xu Jingxing asked in surprise. He really didn't expect Mr. Zhu to invite Mr. He here. What's the intention? Obviously, it's just to show off. It's the same meaning as in "Journey to the West", Huang Shijing got Zhu Bajie's nine-tooth nail rake and wanted to hold a nail rake feast.

Old man Zhu was able to smile and said: "Not only Lao He, but also a few old friends who like arty people, hehe, let them see what a real treasure is."

Xu Jingxing was a little flustered, "Uncle Zhu, isn't it, is there such a big battle?" As the creator of the sculpture, he will definitely become the focus of everyone's attention. Generally speaking, works are eligible to be rewarded Those who meet are famous masters, if ordinary people do the same, it will only make people laugh.

So he felt something was wrong.

But old man Zhu waved his hand nonchalantly, "What am I afraid of, who dares to laugh at you? You won't lose to a few bad old men with half a foot in the coffin?"
