Chapter 1: style
The sky gradually darkened, and there was only a small half of the sun left in the sky, slanting down into the mountains in the distance.
The thin sunlight changed from golden yellow to warm orange red, passed through the large transparent glass windows, and fell obliquely on the room. There were fine dust particles flowing in the air, like fine quicksand.
At the beginning, Shang Shang would explain Yu Mian's paintings a little bit, but then he gradually stopped talking, and sat by the side in silence, quietly watching the pictures drawn by the girl presented on the snow-white drawing paper one by one.
The tree that has been stained with rain has become greener, the wet branches are wet, the green large oval leaves are still dripping with water droplets, the gray and white chubby bird has a pair of round and shiny eyes, and the eyes are thin. The claws hooked the gaps between the branches, and the head tilted as if thinking about something.
The girl holding the paintbrush tilted her head slightly, observing whether there were any omissions in the painting, and repairing some subtleties from time to time. The brush fell on the paper and rustled.
Until the merchant broke the silence in the room: "It's fine."
Yu Mian turned her head to look at him, her jet-black eyes were crystal clear, reflecting the last ray of light from the sky, shining like black pearls immersed in water.
"Is there anything left unpainted?" She bit her lip, glanced at him, and then stared at the painting again.
Shangshang shook his head: "That's enough." He didn't hesitate to praise her, or the painting in front of him, "It's much better than I imagined. Although the basic knowledge is lacking, I can see that you have worked hard. Painting The technique is very skillful, has its own style, and is very good at shaping the shape and meaning, and the colors are very bright and fresh..."
"You seem to be more interested in traditional Chinese painting?" He raised his finger to the lifelike bird in the painting, "This bird is a typical traditional Chinese painting of flowers and birds. The skill in drawing lines is a bit weak. If I guessed correctly, you should not be very good at sketching?"
Yu Mian listened carefully, seeing that Shen Shang could see all the details of her from a painting, her eyes couldn't help but widen, full of surprise and admiration.
"Yes... I've always liked Chinese painting, and I've been studying on my own. I really don't know much about modern painting."
Because he didn't see the memory of participating in the business in his mind, and he was not afraid of being found out that he was not the original Yu Mianmian, so Yu Mian told his situation in detail.
Shen Shang understood, "In this case, I will teach you modern painting next. Since you have chosen a comprehensive painting major, you must learn various painting styles. You don't need to be proficient, but you must be familiar with it."
"But... Teacher, I've only started school for two months, do I need to learn so much?" Yu Mian felt her scalp tingle when she thought about the tuition to come.
As far as she knows, there are many types of painting. She likes ink painting, oil painting, mural painting, comics, printmaking, freehand painting, fine brushwork painting, gouache painting, etc. There are 16 kinds in total. and energy.
The merchant slightly raised his eyebrows, noncommittal, "If you don't want to learn, that's okay, I can just teach you the basics."
Hearing this, Yu Mian shook her head hastily, this is a friend of her brother and a teacher of the Art Academy, so she must not be an ordinary person. And after a short time of getting along with each other, Yu Mian can naturally discover the professionalism of the merchant in the field of painting. If you miss it this time, you may not be able to find a better teacher in the future.
What's more, she also wants to go further in the field of painting, and it is definitely not enough to only understand Chinese painting.
"No, I'll learn!" Yu Mian stood up and bowed to him with a determined face: "Teacher, I will trouble you next!"
Shenshang looked calm, and let out an "um" from his nasal cavity, holding his airs very well.
Once she recognized her teacher and regarded Shenshang as her own, Yu Mian let go of it naturally, and suddenly thought of the picture of Shenshang she saw before, she asked curiously: "Teacher, I saw the picture of Shangshang before." Your WeChat, is that avatar drawn by you?"
Today's teaching came to an end. The merchant stood up and was putting down his rolled up sleeves. His white fingertips were stained with a bit of the color of the brush, leaving inconspicuous marks on the snow-white cuffs.
Hearing this question, he lowered his eyes and glanced at the girl with sparkling eyes, and saw her small face the size of a palm upturned, her eyes full of curiosity that couldn't be concealed.
Instead of answering, he asked, "What do you think?"
Yu Mian was taken aback for a moment, puffed up her cheeks and thought for a second, then said hesitantly, "It should be... right?"
This teacher seems to be teaching modern painting, but the head portrait is an authentic ink painting, and his attainments are extremely high, which can be called a master. It's not that Yu Mian doubted him, it's that Shenshang looks too young, it's hard for people to believe that he has such a high level.
After buttoning the light blue crystal cuffs, the merchant looked away from her face and landed on his fingertips, and said softly, "Yes, what should I add?"
It took a while for Yu Mian to react belatedly, her small face lit up instantly, and she said in surprise, "So it really is!"
When she saw that painting, Yu Mian wanted to worship the painter as her teacher in her heart, and this would suddenly tell her that her tutor was actually the master she thought. This feeling was like finding gold on the road. It is the unexpected joy of a windfall.
Unintentionally worshiping a master as a teacher, Yu Mian only thought that she was lucky, she was so happy that she didn't know what to do, her big eyes were smiling and her eyebrows were curved like crescent moons.
She thought that Shenshang taught her because of her brother's face, but she didn't know that the corners of his lips were slightly raised under his calm face.
There are so many people painting in the world, but very few people really love Chinese painting. Canshang has dabbled in all kinds of painting methods, but his favorite is only Chinese painting. His grandfather is an internationally renowned master of Chinese painting, and his talent for Chinese painting is extremely high. Jie is already a figure who has reached the top.
Traditional Chinese painting is not like modern painting. If you want to learn, you can enroll in a class. After learning the basics, you can build proficiency through a lot of exercises.
Chinese painting is an art that pays attention to inheritance. Even at the famous art school Shengming University, only a dozen students majoring in Chinese painting are admitted a year. The teachers who teach are basically domestic Chinese painting masters. The teaching method is the same as in ancient times. One-on-one lectures after apprenticeship.
Chanshang does not teach traditional Chinese painting classes, nor does he accept apprentices. He has excellent aptitude, so he doesn't think much of those students, even if they are talented and hardworking.
Today, I just came to Yu's house at the request of my friend. Before I came, I never thought that he would meet the student he was satisfied with here.
Yu Mian is indeed weak in terms of foundation, but he can see from the details of her paintings that she has a profound foundation in traditional Chinese painting, but it should be the result of talent and hard work.
Perhaps because she did not receive orthodox teaching, her painting techniques were very complicated, and in his eyes, it was like a piece of rough jade. Because no one had carved it, it was hit by wind and rain to form an imperfect shape, but it also revealed the precious and flawless inside.
The fact that she was able to learn to such an extent without receiving professional instruction is enough to show that her talent is amazing.
Most importantly, she has her own style.
There are tens of thousands of people painting, why only a few people can be famous forever?
Because they have their own unique style, they appear to be unique and eye-catching among countless crowds.
Style can also be said to be a personal color, and it is the painter's understanding of the world in front of him. When looking at a person, you only need to look at his paintings.
Such as participating in business, his paintings are far and vast, but also free and unrestrained.
Like Yu Mian, Shenshang saw the softness of the wind, the warmth of the sun, the freshness of the green trees, and the childishness of the birds.
Just like what he saw in her eyes, the clean, gentle, and clear light.
Learning Chinese painting requires not only sincere love, but also extremely high talent and a pure state of mind.
And Yumian met all the conditions.
So today, whether it is for Yu Mian or Shangshang, is a day of great harvest.
Both of them felt that they had taken advantage of it, and they got along more and more harmoniously. Yu Mian's personality has always been easy-going and soft, while Shang Shang is very polite and demeanor, but after a few words, they seem to have known each other for a long time, and they are no longer unfamiliar with each other at the beginning.
Shangshang came over at three o'clock in the afternoon, waited for Yu Mian to finish painting a picture, and then communicated, it was getting late.
The setting sun fell to the horizon, and the sky gradually dimmed. The merchant bid farewell, and before leaving, he did not forget to assign homework to Yu Mian, and he would check it when he came over tomorrow afternoon.
Yu Mian sent him out, and not long after, Yu's father and Yu's mother returned home. After leaving the company to their sons, they now have nothing to do. They spend their free time fishing and drinking afternoon tea, and sometimes go out for travel and shopping.
Surprisingly, his elder brother Yu Xing also came back at night, seeing Yu Xing's car driving into the gate of the villa, Yu's mother was very surprised.
"Usually I don't come back once in ten days and half a month, why did I go home for two consecutive days this time?"
Yu Xing changed shoes at the door, ignoring Yu's mother's questioning. He never liked to say meaningless words, he always felt that he was wasting his time and tongue. Changing his shoes on his own, he walked into the living room, turned his sharp eyes, and met Yu Mian's eyes, which were quietly sizing him up.
He stopped going upstairs, "How about the tutor I found for you?"
Seeing him ask this, Yu Mian's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that my brother came home this time because he was worried that she would not like the tutor he had found?
She pursed her lips, and said obediently: "The tutor my brother found is very good, and he is teaching me with special care. I like it very much."
Yu Xing raised his eyebrows lightly, and a trace of surprise flashed across his eyes. He is very clear about the character of Shenshang. It can be said that his eyes are above the top, and few people can fall into his eyes. If it weren't for the two being friends, he might not be able to invite him over.
Yu Mian actually said that he taught her "very carefully"?
"The teacher also said that he will come to teach me often in the future." Yu Mian thought of something, and added, "Brother, if the teacher teaches me for a long time in the future, can you give him a raise?"
