The Growth System Comes at the Age of Thirty

Chapter 115 A masterpiece handed down from generation to generation

Two embroidered eyes.

One of them stood at the end of the treetop, shaking slightly, looking left and right, lowering his head to peck from time to time. The other one fluttered its wings and flew over, but it did not land on the branches and leaves, but stayed in the air in front of its companion.

Chen Jinngle's eyes lit up, the scene in front of him was simply a living picture.

He doesn't lack skills, what he lacks is inspiration.

"But the green leaves and green eyes are overlapping in color, making it difficult to draw."

Just when Chen Jingle frowned, an embroidered eye flew out from the dense longan leaves and flew to the branch of the bougainvillea in his yard, followed closely by two more.

"This is good, this is good!"

Chen Jingle was delighted.

With red flowers and birds, there is no need to worry about color.

Whether it was embroidered eyes or bougainvillea, Chen Jingle was very familiar with it, and immediately decided to use these two as the main subjects to paint a flower-and-bird painting.

I have the idea, but it is still not easy to draw a bird picture well.

This does not mean that you can draw at will if your level is high. On the contrary, the higher your level, the more energetic you must be.

Painting is a process of striving for excellence.

First determine the overall structure, dynamics, form, and the sequence of flowers and leaves. These must be taken into consideration, and then draw the key points of each part.

Specifically refer to the work "Pipa Mountain Birds" by the Southern Song Dynasty painter Lin Chun, which is the meticulous embroidery eye, which can be called the pinnacle representative of the ancient meticulous painting of flowers and birds.

The work is now collected in the Palace Museum.

Meticulous brushwork pays attention to realism and creates a sense of reality.

For example, when painting a bird, you need to constantly adjust the ink color according to the color of the bird's feathers, define the relationship between black and white and gray, and then divide and dye it step by step.

The shapes of branches and leaves, and the veins of petals must be presented one by one to create a three-dimensional impression.

Painting is something that tests your patience, especially gongbi, which is notoriously slow, so don't rush, as it's easy to make mistakes if you rush.

Not like the freehand brushstrokes.

The time it takes to paint one gongbi painting is enough to paint ten freehand paintings.

Many painters who make a living by selling paintings just sell freehand paintings for money, and then slowly paint with fine brushwork.

With the development of fine brushwork flowers and birds to this day, various techniques have become very mature, but people who are not good at painting are still not good at painting.

The reason why "Pipa Mountain Bird Painting" has become a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation is largely because the birds are painted extremely flexibly. The bird's expression and movements must be vivid and vivid, not dull.

Especially the eyes.

You must know that birds are very vigilant creatures. They always look around with their eyes to deal with dangers that may arise at any time.

Nikon guys who like to shoot birds should have a deep understanding of this.

Therefore, the bird's eyes must not be painted too dull. Being dull means lack of energy. No matter how well the other parts are painted, it cannot be called a good work.

Chen Jingle writes very steadily.

He already had a picture of the finished piece in his mind, he just had to sketch it out.

The movement may seem unpleasant, but there is no hesitation or mistake in the middle. The flowers and birds are presented one by one in his paintings. After one hour, it is almost completed.

Really fast!

…

After finishing the last stroke, Chen Jingle looked at the work in front of him and was very satisfied.

"good!"

Signed and stamped.

He took out the calligraphy he had written earlier, took a photo together and sent it to Li Beixing: "The calligraphy and painting for Boss Long is done. Please help me see if there are any problems."

Although he had gradually gotten used to Chen Jingle's speed, Li Beixing was still a little surprised when he received the news.

After clicking it and taking a closer look, he exclaimed in surprise.

"Yeah~"

The calligraphy fonts are elegant and unrestrained, and clearly have a touch of Wang Xizhi's style.

Awesome!

Although everyone is in the right army of Lin Wang, those who can express some true meaning and integrate it into their own style can already be regarded as the best.

It is rare even in contemporary calligraphy circles.

"The progress is so rapid. How much time does he spend on practicing every day?"

Li Beixing was immediately impressed.

No wonder he always likes to stay at home and doesn't go out. He probably doesn't have enough time to practice calligraphy, so he doesn't have time to go out and recharge.

There is no shortage of talent and hard work. In time, he will definitely have a place in the contemporary calligraphy world.

When she clicked on the picture of flowers and birds, she was even more stunned.

She thought the calligraphy work had given her a strong enough shock, but she didn't expect the real highlight was yet to come.

This painting of flowers and birds is obviously better than the big rooster that Liu Deqiang painted before. No matter the size, or the agility and three-dimensionality.

Apart from a temporary breakthrough in painting skills, Li Beixing could not think of other possibilities.

If this is a work of the Song Dynasty, it will undoubtedly be a treasure handed down from generation to generation, and major museums will compete to collect it.

Even if it is painted by people today, Chen Jingle himself is not well-known and the value is greatly reduced. However, due to the quality of this painting, if you meet someone who knows the goods, you can still sell it for a high price.

If one day Chen Jingle's fame soars, after hundreds of years, he will also be qualified to become a masterpiece of art passed down from generation to generation.

She sincerely praised: "Your level has improved again!"

"It's okay, I have some enlightenment." Chen Jingle replied modestly.

Li Beixing really envies such talented players. Unlike himself, who has been practicing for so many years, he is only at the entry level.

If such a good work only sells for 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, it feels like a huge loss.

So she said: "I will help you get a suitable price!"

"Thank you!" Chen Jingle was a little embarrassed. He had promised to treat others to dinner before, but it took so long that he didn't honor it. He also asked for all kinds of help from others. He really... didn't know how to say it.

Oh, I'm ashamed.

You have to find an opportunity to express your gratitude properly.

…

The photos of the calligraphy and painting were passed from Li Beixing to her father Li Qiguang.

Li Qiguang took a look and saw that the handwriting was really good, but it was a pity that he was not a shop owner. The flower-and-bird paintings particularly caught his eye, and seemed very suitable for his office.

Do you want to get one too?

Anyway, the price is not expensive, only 10,000 to 20,000 yuan, maybe 40,000 to 50,000 yuan for a larger article? Pretty much the same.

I made up my mind and asked my daughter for her opinion.

He first called Fatty Liu over: "Brother Liu, when Boss Long returns to Jiangbei, you have to give him a good beating. Look at this calligraphy and this painting, it is better than the two paintings you bought."

When Fatty Liu saw it, he couldn't sit still: "Damn, it's so much better than mine?!"

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

If it is a work by a famous artist, I am afraid it will not be able to sell dozens of pieces.

His eyes suddenly widened with greed.

"I guess it's because he practiced more in private and improved again."

Li Qiguang chuckled: "What my daughter means is, can you give me a little more for the price of the painting? After all, this painting is much bigger than your big rooster."

"It should be so! With such quality, even if it is not famous, it will cost at least thirty to fifty thousand. If he pays less, I don't mind cutting off my beard."

Fatty Liu chuckled.

Li Qiguang quickly stopped: "Hey, hey, that's not necessary. I originally said that I could help Boss Long paint it, and the price is about the same."

"Don't worry, I'll tell him." Fatty Liu said that he knew what was going on.

He sent the picture and Long Zhijie read it and expressed his satisfaction.

After consulting Fatty Liu for his opinion, Boss Long decided to spend 20,000 yuan on the calligraphy and 40,000 yuan on the flower-and-bird painting.

This is a very good price for Chen Jingle.

After learning the news, he was very happy. He immediately received 60,000 yuan in his account, and his assets were expanded. The total amount was about to exceed 600,000 yuan.

Delightful!

Boss Long feels that the quality of his two works is higher than Fatty Liu's. It's okay if the price is higher. Besides, it's not much more expensive. In the final analysis, he still makes money for himself, so he is very satisfied.

Anyway, everyone is happy.

Although Li Beixing felt that the price of the painting was a bit low, considering Chen Jingle's reputation, it was a bit difficult to get a higher price.

Had to give up.

"If I could send it to an exhibition to win an award and gain a reputation, the price would probably increase tenfold!"

…

By noon,

Li Beixing received a message from Zhou Manlin: "Xingbao, I would like to treat Chen Jingle to a meal on Friday night. Can you come over with me then?"

Have a meal?

Oh yes, last time when Manlin had a car accident, she said she wanted to treat Chen Jingle to dinner.

Li Beixing blinked: "Has your car been repaired?"

"It's not that fast. It will probably take half a month. I'm driving that Minced Pepper Fish Head right now."

"How do you plan to arrange it?"

"How about Xingchu's private kitchen?" Zhou Manlin asked.

The two of them went there some time ago. The food tasted good and the environment was good. It was suitable for young couples or friends to gather for dinner. It was not too formal and restrained, nor did it feel too low-level.

Li Bei force."

"How do you know he can cook and is very good at it?" Zhou Manlin was confused.

Li Beixing was very calm: "His cousin is my student. I usually see her sharing a lot of delicious food, all made by Chen Jingle."

"Is this so..."

Zhou Manlin fell into deep thought: "If you want to talk about the taste, then you can only go to Tang Garden?"

Li Beixing thought for a while: "Tangyuan should be fine."

Tangyuan is a restaurant that has been around for a long time. It can be said to be the ceiling of Jiangbei's cuisine. Although it is not as good as the provincial capital, it is still good at it.

Zhou Manlin immediately made the decision: "Then we will decide on Tang Garden. I will tell him on Friday night."

He turned around and sent a message to Chen Jingle: "Handsome Chen, are you free on Friday night? I want to treat you to a meal. I haven't thanked you for what happened last time on Huancheng West Road."

Chen Jingle was making five-finger peach stewed with chicken soup. He was watching the fire and checking his phone. When he saw the message, he quickly replied: "You're too polite. It's just a small matter."

Unexpectedly, the other party was still thinking about inviting him to dinner.

Zhou Manlin said: "If you are afraid of being too embarrassed to eat with me, don't worry, I asked Shang Beixing to come with you."

Call Li Beixing?

Um, are you sure it won't be more embarrassing?

Originally, he wanted to find a suitable opportunity to invite Li Beixing to dinner, but it turned out that his friend came to invite him to dinner first.

Chen Jingle scratched his chin, his expression hesitant, and he replied after a while: "Since you are so kindly invited, it would be too unkind for me to keep refusing. Friday is OK, what is the specific time and place?"

He made up his mind to look for an opportunity to ask Li Beixing alone later. After all, he had helped him so many times.

Zhou Manlin was very happy: "How about six-thirty? The venue is Tangyuan."

Chen Jingle had no objection: "Okay, I'll see you then."

"Well, see you then~"
