The Growth System Comes at the Age of Thirty

Chapter 106 Portraits

"Anyone else wants to buy my calligraphy and painting?"

Chen Jingle was stunned for a moment when he saw the message from Li Beixing.

No, are your works so popular?

Or is it that there are too many rich people in the world, and they have so much money that they have nowhere to spend it, so they would spend tens of thousands of dollars to buy the work of an unknown minor character?

Hiss~

Chen Jingle took a deep breath and asked with a smile, "Does this mean my reputation is gradually spreading?"

"Why doesn't it count?"

Li Beixing's eyes looked like crescents when he smiled.

Speaking of which, she was the first person to buy Chen Jingle's works.

At that time, I bought two calligraphy works for 10,000 yuan. Based on the idea that money can’t buy them, I like them, so the price was higher than the market price.

How long before and after? This has increased the price several times.

It shows that the quality of his works is indeed recognized by everyone.

Chen Jingle said sincerely: "Thank you, Teacher Li!"

Li Beixing was a little unhappy: "Didn't you agree that you can just call me by my name?"

Chen Jingle: "That's easy to say, sorry."

Li Beixing didn't hesitate: "You can take it, right?"

Chen Jingle replied: "Of course I will accept it. If you have money but don't make money, wouldn't you be a fool? Please help tell that customer and ensure that he is satisfied. If he is not satisfied, he will paint until he is satisfied."

Boss Long's request was nothing to him.

Take it with your hands!

"Guests come like clouds" hanging in the store are similar to those such as "God rewards hard work" and "Good things are like water". As for the flower and bird pictures, you can consider taking the meticulous route to highlight the Lingnan characteristics as much as possible.

Satisfied!

Li Beixing couldn't help laughing: "You are really..."

"What is it? Are you blinded by money?" Chen Jingle asked with a smile.

"No, I didn't mean that." Li Beixing was a little embarrassed and quickly explained.

But Chen Jingle didn't care: "It's okay. Even if I say yes, I don't mind, because this is a transaction. When people spend money to buy my works, they naturally have to satisfy the customers. You can't let others spend money to take advantage of them."

Li Beixing asked him curiously: "Are you short of money?"

Chen Jingle: "I don't think many people dare to say that they are not short of money, right? I can only say that they are not short of small money, but not big money."

He is really worried about money now.

I was lying down fine at first, but suddenly my material desires in some aspects began to rise again, which somewhat disrupted the rhythm of my life. This is not good.

Fortunately, he can still control his thoughts and does not let material desires control his heart, nor does he suffer too much mental internal friction.

Just think about it, there is no sin in thinking about it.

Just think about it, respect objective reality, and don't turn it into a daydream.

Li Beixing fell into thinking after hearing this.

Before she could think about it, Chen Jingle added, "By the way, I told you last time that I would give you a painting. Have you decided what to paint?"

Li Beixing was interrupted: "I haven't thought about it yet. How about you give me some advice?"

Chen Jingle was surprised: "Me? Uh, how about I draw a portrait for you?"

"Ah? Is that okay?" Li Beixing's eyes lit up.

As for painting, she doesn't like much, and portraits are indeed a good choice.

Chen Jingle: "Of course! Do you want Chinese painting or sketching? I'm average at oil painting, so I won't show off my shame."

Li Beixing thought for a moment: "Chinese painting. Do you need photos?"

Although the sketch is realistic, no matter how good it is, it doesn't feel very classy and is not easy to frame and hang.

Or Chinese painting is more suitable for her.

Chen Jingle said: "Of course it would be better to have photos."

"Then I'll send it to you."

She bit her lip, found a photo of Hanfu that she thought was the best among the thousands of photos on her phone, and sent it: "Can you look at this one?"

This photo was taken when she traveled to Shendu at the beginning of the year. It is also the most satisfactory among the many photos she has taken in recent years.

Chen Jingle replied: "Okay."

Such a lackluster reaction?

Li Beixing's mouth twitched and he put away his phone, pretending to be relaxed.

Okay, I don’t really care what you think.

…

Chen Jingle was looking at the photos sent by the other party.

The person who took this photo is pretty good, at least he’s not the kind of person who takes photos and deletes them for free 50 times.

The key points of the three elements of portrait are vividly expressed.

Li Beixing in the photo perfectly interprets what it means to have bright eyes, white teeth, and a beautiful smile. His appearance is not inferior to those of the models at the National Style Exhibition, and his recognition is much higher than those of Internet celebrities.

She knows her own characteristics very well, and her smile is so pretty.

"Just this one."

Chen Jingle already had a general direction in his mind.

Of course, there was no rush to write.

Considering that Li Beixing had helped broker several business deals, he felt that he couldn't draw too casually, and at least he had to be in a good state before he started writing.

If you want to draw, draw well. When it comes to figure painting, the pinnacle of Chinese figure painting is naturally the Tang Dynasty.

However, in figure paintings before the Song Dynasty, the pursuit of "likeness" was not pursued, but the pursuit of charm.

What is Shen Yun?

For example, Shen Yun is "A lone man in a boat and a coir raincoat fishing alone in the snow on the cold river."

After the Song Dynasty, realistic theories and early creations began to appear, and portraits gradually developed what is now known as structural perspective.

For example, Li Gonglin's "Vimalakirti's Teaching Picture" in the Northern Song Dynasty takes a realistic route.

Unfortunately, due to some reasons, this theoretical painting method did not become the mainstream at that time and gradually disappeared in the long river of history.

Like calligraphy, figure painting in the Song Dynasty is still more dedicated to the expression of "meaning".

In today's popular parlance, it is emotional transmission.

To be more vulgar, look at those spring pictures in ancient times...

On the contrary, the meticulous painting of flowers, birds and animals has reached its peak.

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

In the Ming Dynasty, Zeng Bochen tried to integrate Western techniques into Chinese portraits, which gave rise to the "Bochen School", which became popular for a while.

As for some people who conclude from this that the art of figure painting in ancient my country is not good and that "the so-called freehand brushwork is actually a fig leaf", you must know that Western painting schools are not limited to realism. If painting is good only if it looks like it, then Picasso's paintings are all rubbish.

To say that realism is good, contemporary hyper-realism style has been criticized by more people than praised.

A very important point of painting is to convey emotions, which is common in the fields of Eastern and Western painting arts.

There was no realistic art of figures in ancient my country, but the forms of expression were more in sculptures.

For example, the terracotta warriors and horses, and various statues of gods.

Although the development of Chinese figure painting has not surpassed the peak of the Tang Dynasty, it can be regarded as a hundred flowers blooming.

For example, Mr. He Jiaying, Vice Chairman of the Artists Association, his meticulous figure paintings are elegant and clear, combining Chinese and Western styles. They enhance the sense of reality and life while retaining the oriental charm of traditional Chinese paintings.

It can be called innovation.

It’s just that many of his paintings are not suitable for children under 18 years old.

In comparison, Chen Jinngle personally prefers Mr. Bai Bohua's paintings of ladies, which perfectly integrate freehand brushwork and realism, and are more in line with his aesthetics of traditional Chinese painting.

If Chen Jingle were asked to paint characters, he would take the meticulous route.

For example, "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is a classic, but now he likes "Mysterious Resurrection".

However, the fine brushwork technique is a matter of personal level and style.

It's the same fine brushwork. Some people can draw it and everyone will applaud, while others can't draw it well.

Anyway, he took note of the writing and drawing, and tried to finish it one by one in the next few days and deliver it to the customer as soon as possible.

No matter what you do, it's not appropriate to keep people waiting.

on the other side,

After several passes, the news finally reached Boss Long Zhijie. He was very happy to learn that Master Chen Jingle agreed.

"If the quality is not inferior to the two paintings collected by Liu Deqiang, in a few years, it can be conservatively doubled or tripled!"

I don’t have the idea of ​​making a lot of money from this, but many times, it feels good to see the prices of the things I buy rise instead of fall.

It’s not about the amount of money you make, but the sense of accomplishment that comes from successful investment!

…

After driving Chen Qiyun back, Chen Jinngle prepared to take a nap.

I have become accustomed to taking a nap at noon every day. Otherwise, I will feel that my mental state is not good enough when I study or do things in the afternoon.

After you wake up, consider whether you want to learn calligraphy, painting or something else.

Speaking of which, it seems that many places do not take naps at noon.

He only knows one of the Three Jins in the northern provinces, and the level is even more exaggerated than that of Lingnan, where everyone takes a siesta.

In Lingnan, most people take a nap at noon, usually in class or at work. The two hours between 12 noon and 2 pm are used for eating and resting, and some even take a nap until 2:30 or 3:00.

When Chen Jingle woke up, the rain had basically stopped, with only some drizzle falling from time to time.

I stared out the window for a while, looking at the thick clouds in the sky, and suddenly I had a new understanding of the four words "Guests come like clouds".

Well, inspiration comes suddenly and I can’t stop it!

He immediately took out his pen, ink, paper and inkstone and wrote down four words that made him very satisfied.

"Done!"

Even if today's calligraphy and painting tasks are completed, you can spend the remaining time reading some knowledge content that interests you.

Such as history.

After reading the National History Outline before, I sorted out my little historical knowledge in chronological order and initially built my own historical knowledge system.

Next, you can do in-depth research step by step in chronological order.

The parts before the Shang and Zhou dynasties are controversial, but Chen Jingle doesn't care. His current idea is to learn first and stuff all the knowledge into his mind. Only when he has enough knowledge will he be qualified to question or debate and put forward his own opinions.

Otherwise, with his current level, what is the point of denying or affirming? Isn’t it the same as Minke?

So you have to learn it first!

History is really interesting stuff.

As a contemporary person, as a modern person who has only lived for 30 years, he can stand in the vast river of time and observe the lives of many people from a higher dimensional perspective. From birth to death, their experiences All the experiences, big and small, and all kinds of emotions have been recorded by history.

The parts that have not been recorded are waiting for you to explore and discover.

This kind of dialogue experience across time and space cannot be given by other disciplines.

Furthermore, reading history will help Chen Jingle’s research on historical materialism and Ma Zhe. In addition to reading history, he also reads ideological and political education and Ma Zhe, all of which are inseparable from history.

Even calligraphy and painting can find relevant descriptions in history.

In addition to reading, Chen Jingle will also write an essay while watching.

Maybe it will work, maybe it won't.

Regardless of whether he needs it or not, he feels that he should write it down first, and he will naturally use it when needed.

Update one chapter first.
