Chapter 540: Boneless Painting
Zhong Qi had been communicating with Hu Jinquan, but Li Yi, who was sitting aside, never spoke. From the moment he heard Hu Jinquan ask him to draw the cliff, he was thinking about what method should be used to perfectly express this spectacular and monotonous, shocking but unaware of the scenery.
The first thing he remembered was the long scroll of landscapes. Since there were some local changes and insufficient elements, expanding the scope of the scene should be able to improve to a certain extent.
But if it is really a long scroll, there will be more elements to be incorporated. Moreover, this place seems to lack a sense of momentum, because it seems to be quite shocking at first glance, but if you observe and experience it carefully, it always makes people feel that something is missing.
As his eyes passed through the mountains and rivers outside the window, Li Yi quickly found the roots. The mountains were not high enough and the water was not vast enough, so he gave people a feeling of being petty everywhere.
After reading this several times and confirming this feeling, Li Yi rejected the idea of long scrolls of landscapes from his heart. If that was really the case, there would be too many things that needed to be added artificially, and if the scenery itself lacked the majestic and spectacular temperament, even if it was drawn, it would give people a feeling of being four-dimensional.
The car soon arrived at Sandu and drove forward for a few minutes. The river in front suddenly widened and a large beach appeared. At a bend not far from the beach, a three-story building with red roof appeared in front of several people. The resort arrived.
This resort is not big, at best, only a thousand square meters of land, but the greening is very good, and it is backed by stone mountains and river beaches. It is naturally a landscape, so the overall look gives people a good feeling.
In the resort, I saw a large pomegranate forest. It was the flowering season. The beautiful and bright red pomegranate flowers bloomed all over the garden, giving people a particularly pleasing feeling. The gardenias mentioned by Hu Jinquan are of southern variety, so they are all planted in flower pots, with dozens of pots of large and small together, which makes the modern hotel lobby a bit inconsistent, but the rich fragrance of flowers floating in the air makes people feel excited.
Two works were done in two days, and time was tight, so when I put down my things, I didn’t have time to carefully look at the facilities in the room, Li Yi and Zhong Qi went out, one headed straight to the pomegranate garden, and the other walked along the river beach, slowly towards the way they came.
Looking closer, the shock when I saw it disappeared without a trace. There was nothing else. The river here was too narrow. The water was indeed very clear, but it was very shallow, only about one meter deep, so the sand and pebbles at the bottom of the river could be clearly seen. Li Yi estimated that the height of the cliffs next to the river was difficult to exceed 60 meters. It was too difficult to deal with such a landscape into a magnificent landscape painting.
Of course, landscapes will inevitably undergo a certain artistic processing when painting, but since it is processed, it must have an original shape. If the difference between it and the original shape is too big, the meaning of sketching will be lost.
While bored, Li Yi was kicking the pebbles on the beach, he looked back at the famous works of landscape masters in his mind. After a while, he shook his head helplessly. It seemed that Master really wanted to let him learn from nature this time.
If you want to draw a landscape painting with artistic conception, there are only a few aspects. A sense of space and layering are essential. If you go deeper, the temperament of grandeur, vast, vast, distant and other temperaments are also indispensable for landscape paintings.
Of course, there are also famous landscape masters in history who can draw a small landscape with their profound skills to majestic and spectacular. But Li Yi knew that it was all under the premise of being tempered and hiding with beauty. Moreover, I didn’t know how many spectacular mountains and rivers they had painted before, so that they could move around in this small space, with points leading to the surface, and with prejudice, they painted such fine works.
And with his current skills, he probably cannot do these things. If he tries hard, the results he draws will probably be likes to imitate and make a joke.
However, the master should know his situation better than himself, but he still gave him such a question for what?
Thinking about it all the way, when Li Yi suddenly looked up, he found that he had already reached a crossing. He couldn't help but shake his head slightly. It really didn't work. He still had to pull the world up and drive around the road twice to see if he could find any good entry points.
Returning along the same road, he was about to walk to the resort. Li Yi, who was frowning all the way, suddenly laughed silently, "Silly, this is not a competition, why do you have to think about it alone?" There is a mountain and river man next to him. If you can't figure it out, won't you ask for advice?
Even if Hu Jinquan was unwilling to give any tips to test their abilities, he could argue with reason. This trip was originally intended to improve their abilities and broaden their horizons. If it ended up becoming a pure trouble, what else would it mean?
Of course, this consultation is also knowledgeable. If you do nothing and ask how to solve it, you will probably be turned away. But if you say something, you will prove that you have indeed thought about it carefully and you should be able to get some guidance.
After thinking about this, Li Yi's mood suddenly relaxed. Suddenly, he felt that the mountains and rivers in front of him seemed to have become more vivid, especially not far ahead, the girls standing on two bamboo rafts flirted with each other, became more beautiful.
It took Li Yi and his team to practice basic skills for 5 days, so when they arrived in Shidu, it was Saturday morning. Although most people who came to Shidu would choose to live in a farm stay near Badu Jiudu, since Sandu can build a resort, it means that some people still like the scenery here.
Compared with the deeper eight, nine and ten ferries, the scenery in the previous ferries is relatively plain, with the mountains not so majestic and the water not so turbulent.
But each has its own love for vegetables and carrots. Not everyone will like the feeling of the mountains and rivers, and not everyone is willing to drift in the turbulent water. Just like now, on a gentle and quiet water surface, a group of companions are scribing bamboo rafts, splashing water, and even jumping into the water to make a fuss. It is also a different mood.
Standing on the beach from afar, watching the girls getting more and more fun, Li Yi felt something in his heart. After a while, he clicked and turned around and walked towards the resort.
"Why, I feel embarrassed? I feel that everything in front of me is too different from the landscape paintings you have seen in the past?"
Hu Jinquan seemed to have expected Li Yi to come to him, so before he could speak, he asked the question directly.
Seeing Li Yi nodding, Hu Jinquan pondered for a moment and said:
"From the perspective of creative themes, the earliest Chinese paintings appeared in figure paintings, and the mountains and rivers originally depicted also appeared as complementary scenery for figure paintings, and later it gradually developed into an independent painting science."
"The main line of the central axis of landscape painting is the inner cultivation consciousness of taking mountains as virtue and water as nature. From landscape painting, we can concentrate on experiencing the artistic conception, style, aura and color of Chinese painting. It reflects the relationship between man and nature, so it must include the relationship between man and animal, man and plant, and even, it cannot be separated from the relationship between man and man."
Seeing Li Yi lowering his head and looking thoughtful, Hu Jinquan smiled.
"Maybe you can try the boneless landscape."
Boneless landscape?
Li Yi jumped, his thoughts suddenly became wider. He happily thanked Hu Jinquan, quickly slipped back to his room, and searched the Internet for information.
Landscape painting is a major category. Traditionally, according to the style of painting, it can be divided into green landscapes, golden and green landscapes, ink and water landscapes, light crimson landscapes, small green landscapes, boneless landscapes, etc.
Li Yi has been learning about ink and painting landscapes before. Although he has also learned about others, because those basically involve the issue of color application, he has never really tried it.
"Boneless" is the name of a technique in Chinese Chinese painting. It refers to a landscape painting drawn using this method without outlining the lines and directly depicting the objects and scenes in large pieces of ink or color. It is called "Boneless Landscape".
The characteristic of boneless landscape is that it does not use brush and ink to outline, but the various parts of the brush and ink image have their own internal connections, thus forming a certain meaning in the form of the picture.
This painting method is a bit closer to some Western painting techniques, but in fact, the boneless method is not very different from traditional Chinese paintings that traditionally attach importance to bone method. It is nothing more than a different path.
Li Yi searched the Internet for a while, then closed his eyes and pondered for a while. Slowly, a landscape painting slowly emerged in his mind. It was a distant mountain surrounded by clouds and mist, and the close-up was two opposite stone cliffs. In the middle of the stone cliff, a green water was like a jade belt breaking through the barrier, winding and flowing long.
After careful consideration, he felt that this could be his first work, and the second work also had a preliminary idea, which still came from Hu Jinquan's inspiration.
Since landscapes reflect the relationship between man and nature, then as a natural element, man can of course become the protagonist. He decided to try it out and describe the scene of bamboo raft playing in the water that he just saw with fine brushes.
But in this way, his two paintings are quite different from the works he is planning to participate in the competition in the future. There are only more than 30 days left before the competition. Now, if you study these things, is it a bit contrary to your original intention?
"Haha, the competition is originally intended to motivate everyone to improve their level. Of course, we cannot compete for the competition. No matter when, improving ourselves is the foundation."
"Then... Master, are you saying that as long as your level has indeed improved, then it doesn't matter if you can't win the first prize?"
Upon hearing this, Hu Jinquan stood up and glared at Li Yi.
"How is that possible?!"
