Shut up, I am really a pure love god of war!

Chapter 38 The colors of the world are not so monotonous

It started raining again in the evening, and the sound of rain hitting the windows added a touch of atmosphere to the small space of the studio.

Art students are still drawing sketches and still lifes. Drawing is a boring thing, and this daily routine will almost continue until they go to art training.

Apples, jars, plates, and poplars sit in front of a simple still life composition.

Unlike others, he painted not in sketches but in colors.

The gouache painting of poplar is not very familiar, but the basic color mixing is still no problem. Use a thin brush dipped in burnt brown to make a draft, then use a large brush to scoop up the paint and mix it quickly on the palette.

The red of the apple, the blue-gray of the lining, the white of the plate, the pale green of the jar—

Bai Yang mixed the colors fairly accurately, and moved the brush around on the paper in an expert manner.

But Mr. Luo, who was standing behind Bai Yang, frowned deeper and deeper.

"Bai Yang, I thought you were being modest when you said your color painting was average."

Bai Yang stopped writing helplessly and said, "I hope so."

"Too rigid, Bai Yang." Teacher Luo commented bluntly: "You are too focused on the accuracy of the colors, but you completely ignore the most important point of color painting."

"The color of the light side is too pure, while the color of the dark side is too dirty. Most importantly, there is no change at all. When you adjust the color of the dark side, you should simply make the color of the light side darker, right?"

Bai Yang nodded: "Yes."

"This is completely a sketching technique." Teacher Luo asked, "I now believe that you are self-taught. Have you not been exposed to the relevant knowledge of color painting? For example, cold and warm colors, pure and gray?"

"I've learned it before..." Bai Yang said with a lack of confidence. Not only was he not self-taught, but the person who taught him was even a serious painter. "But I still can't quite understand and apply it. For example, when should I use warm colors? Some dark areas should be warmer, some should be cooler, some places should be gray, and some places should be close to pure color."

"Some of the paintings I've seen have colors and brushstrokes that can even be called unbridled, but they are very harmonious. However, in my eyes, still life is what color it is, with only shades of light and dark."

Mr. Luo was silent for a moment before he said, "It seems that you are aware of your problem."

"You have a foundation in modeling, so even if your colors are rigid, you can still get a passing score and go to a very good art school. But I don't think you will be satisfied with just this, right?"

"My goal is CAFA." Bai Yang said with a serious expression.

"Then you have to work harder." Teacher Luo nodded: "Fortunately, you still have two years to improve your sensitivity to colors."

"Although what you practiced in high school were all basic things, painting is an art after all, Baiyang. The essence of art is self-expression, not a universal formula."

"Please give me some guidance, teacher!" Bai Yang stood up and made way.

Art teachers usually teach by revising paintings and drawing samples.

"There's no point in revising your painting." Mr. Luo said bluntly:
"Change the paper, Chun Yuwan, come over and draw a sample picture."

"Huh?" Bai Yang was a little surprised.

"Chun Yuwan's foundation may be a little weaker, but her perception and ability to express colors are better than mine." Teacher Luo said, "And this is what you lack the most."

As a high school art teacher, although Mr. Luo's level cannot be called that of a painter, he is certainly not weak. He actually admitted so frankly that Chun Yuwan was better than him in some aspects. This made Bai Yang suddenly realize.

No wonder Chun Yuwan was able to get into CAFA. Her sketching skills were much better than her peers. But in fact, they were her weakness. Chun Yuwan did not refuse. She put down the pencil in her hand and sat over. She asked Bai Yang politely, "I didn't prepare anything today. Do you mind if I use your paint?"

"Please feel free to use it." Bai Yang said with some anticipation.

Chun Yuwan did not make any modeling, but directly took out a large brush, dipped it in water in the bucket, and scooped out a large ball of white from the paint tray without hesitation.

Then, as if without thinking, red, yellow and blue were all added to the palette and blended together. Bai Yang didn't even have time to react, and the colors on the palette had turned into a very high-grade light blue-gray.

Unlike Bai Yang who was cautious when he started to paint, Chun Yuwan brushed the paint up with big strokes, and from time to time added colors that Bai Yang could not understand at all. Soon, the whole picture was filled.

"I usually lay the base color first." Chun Yuwan explained in a cold voice: "Determine the overall tone of the picture, and then when laying the base color, divide the space into layers. If the main color is a cool tone, then the farther away in the space will be slightly warmer."

poplar:"."

I couldn't understand it and was deeply shocked.

Even though there is only a layer of background color on the picture, which is light blue-gray overall, Bai Yang can already see that other colors are harmoniously integrated into the blue-gray, and the cold and warm colors become very distinct because of the differences in these colors.

The most important thing is that it is very smart!

As Chun Yuwan's brush continued to dance, the agility not only did not diminish, but became more and more eye-catching, even ready to burst out.

It is clearly a light green jar, so why is the bright side closer to blue and the dark side closer to yellow?

Bai Yang saw that Chun Yuwan even spread the pure blue to the dark side, but it did not seem abrupt at all, but rather richer and more gorgeous.

"Do you see the difference?" asked Teacher Luo.

"Chun Yuwan's use of colors is very bold, and it is not completely within the framework. She has her own feelings and ideas." Bai Yang hesitated for a moment and replied: "But those colors that do not exist in the still life itself are not just randomly painted by her, right?"

"Wrong." Teacher Luo said, "Why don't these colors exist in the still life itself?"

"You see a single color, but she sees a richer color. Baiyang, the color composition of the world is not so monotonous."

She sighed: "Why let Chun Yuwan be the model painter, there is another reason."

“The more complicated a person’s mind is, the less he sees. The simpler the mind is, the more detailed he can feel the world.”

"After all, my mentality is old, and I can't compare to the vividness that young people see."

poplar:"."

You may not believe it, but I am actually not younger than you, and my thoughts are even more complicated.

"take it easy."

As if he could see Bai Yang's mood, Teacher Luo comforted him: "You are still young and have a lot of time."

"If you have any questions about color, you can discuss it with Chun Yuwan later. Of course, your modeling foundation is better than hers."

"You two can help each other."
