Painter

Chapter 245 94: Azure
As soon as Jiang Ru finished speaking, Liu Ang heaved a sigh of relief and quickly agreed.

Originally, Li Dan, who has been in the limelight recently, served as the chief painter, so this mural is already very important.In addition to another Qianyuan bachelor, the miracle of the white dragon teaching Taoism in the dream, once this painting is completed, it will definitely leave a mark in the history books.

The Lizhu, Jade, Dragon, Immortals, Officials, and Heavenly Maidens on the wall were probably finished, and most of them were erased around noon.

Li Chan had eaten at the soup restaurant and came under the mural.

The method of painting for the work of the prison is to draw the powder book first, and then use red ochre to draw the draft on the wall, and then color it.

Jiang Ru's painting method is different. First, he starts with a wood rotten child fired from thin willow sticks, and outlines the outline on the wall.

The scorching sun hangs high in the sky, and the heat of shining jade and flowing gold almost burns the charcoal traces on the wall.

All the prison guards hid under the eaves of Longyou Tangyuri Hall, which was more than one zhang deep. Only two bachelors were not afraid of exposure to the sun, and they were still under the murals.

With charcoal dust on his hands, Jiang Ru concentrated on painting and said, "When I was learning painting, Mr. Xu repeatedly told me that painting should be done once and for all."

The so-called nine rotten is to draw and revise with wooden rotten child many times, and only after the outline of the draft is confirmed can the formal painting be started.

"I asked again, Xu Gong's painting of the Three Thousand Miles of Jiangling was handed down from generation to generation as a cohesive work. Is it necessary to be immortal? I found out later that it was already a higher level, but I am not good at learning, so I can only It takes repeated revisions to make the painting not ashamed."

Li Chan said: "Learning painting is also like practicing, step by step, there will always be progress."

Jiang Ru blew off the excess charcoal powder on the wall, then turned around and asked, "Then what state has Li Lang reached?"

"Me." Li Chan smiled, "Although there are times when you get it by chance, you can't force it."

"You, if you say it, it's like you didn't say it." Jiang Ru continued to paint.

The painter next to him came to ask: "You two bachelors, lead red, cinnabar, azurite and other things are here, is there anything missing?"

Li Chan thought for a while, and said: "Since Bachelor Jiang wants to draw a white dragon, let's bring more chalk." Then, he glanced at Jiang Ru.

Jiang Ru said, "I also want some Huang Dan."

The painter brought a pottery plate, which was filled with ripe persimmon-colored powder, "I have yellow dan, I have it, Xueshi Jiang has a look, can this color be used?"

Jiang Ru took a look from afar and nodded.

The painter was about to put down the pottery plate, but Li Chan said "wait a minute", picked up some yellow dandelion, rubbed it on the belly of his finger, and smelled it.

Seeing Li Chan frowning slightly, the painter carefully asked, "What advice can Li Xueshi have?"

Li Chan asked: "Is orpiment used in this yellow pill?"

The painter was surprised and said: "As expected of Li Xueshi, there is not much sulfur left in the warehouse. It is used to fumigate medicinal materials, and it is in short supply for a while. These yellow pills have been replaced with orpiment, lead powder, and hydrazine..."

Li Chan shook her head, "Don't use orpiment with lead powder yellow dan, otherwise, if you use it on murals, it won't be long before it will change color."

The painter was taken aback, holding the pottery plate, but forgot to put it down for a moment.He was the one who made these yellow pills, this matter can be big or small, if the two bachelors use other pigments, he will not be punished.If the yellow dan was indispensable and the painting was delayed, even if the two scholars didn't say anything, Liu Shaojian would definitely pursue it.

Seeing the panicked look on the painter's face, Li Chan said in relief: "It's not that you have to use yellow dan. The yellow dan in this plate can be used for painting practice or thrown away. Just be more careful when you practice next time."

The painter was still a little nervous, but Li Chan patted him on the shoulder with a smile and told him to leave.

Jiang Ru stopped painting and watched from the sidelines. After the painter left, she smiled and said, "It's good for you. You did the good thing, but I don't have Huang Dan to use. Could you go and practice some for me now?"

"It will take two days to practice now."

"What should I do?"

"At that time, we will find our own way."

……

Liu Ang hid from the sun under the Yuri Highness. The weather was already hot to death, but now it was inexplicably humid. Although he hid under the eaves of the palace, it was like entering a steamer. After a while, he was already sweating Such as pulp, a crimson dress tightly stuck to the back and chest.

The old painter walked over from a distance, wiping his sweat anxiously, Liu Ang drank the plum soup brought by the maid, and asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"

The painter concealed his guilty conscience and replied: "The two bachelors painted very smoothly."

Liu Ang sized up the painter suspiciously, then looked to the north from a distance, and saw that the charcoal traces on the white wall had gradually formed a dragon shape, so he nodded without doubting him.

At this time, there was a light cry from behind.

Liu Ang turned his head, and stood under the shadow of the eaves of the hall as the supervisor, and looked up at the sky, so he followed the gaze of the right school office to look up, and then gave a light surprise.

According to Si Tianjian's calendar, just two days after Xiaoshu, today should be a sunny day.Early in the morning, Toutuo, a traveler from various temples in Yujing, also announced "the weather is sunny" along the street.There should be no mistakes in the weather. Just now, the sun was still scorching.How come now, some dark clouds have gathered in the sky, and it has become overcast?

……

Under the north wall of Longyoutang, Jiang Ru put down the wooden rotten child, raised his hand to cover the sunlight on his forehead, raised his head and said, "It's finally cooler."

Li Chan also raised her head, squinting her eyes: "It's a good thing when it's cooler, I'm afraid it's going to rain."

Jiang Ru said: "The general prisoner should have counted the weather. If not, the shed will not be built, and the tarpaulin will not be covered."

Li Chan looked back and stirred the chalk in the basin, "Now it's time to color the dragon's body."

"Wait a minute." Jiang Ru took a few steps back, folded her arms, and looked at the dragon shape on the wall, "I always feel that it is not very vivid here." She pointed at the dragon's beard with Mu Kuizi.

Li Chan looked at it, "It's not bad."

Jiang Ru shook his head: "I want to draw the posture of the dragon's beard in the water, but when I draw it, it looks like it is blowing up against the wind."

Li Chan pondered for a while, "Give me a try."

Jiang Ru handed over Mu Xizi, and Li Chan went over with a handkerchief, wiped off the dragon's beard, and sketched a few more strokes.

"That's right!" Jiang Ru clapped his hands, as if he saw the white dragon in the spiritual book again, and the dragon's whiskers seemed to be floating at the bottom of the water.

She looked at Li Chan in amazement, and exclaimed, "Amazing!"

But Li Chan didn't hear Jiang Ru's words. When he was drawing the dragon just now, he had a strange feeling. At that moment, the white dragon seemed to come alive.This feeling is slightly similar to when he painted Cang Bi in Sunning Palace, but it is completely different.But it was too late to figure out what was different, and this feeling disappeared in a flash.

When he came back to his senses, he asked Jiang Ru, "How is it now?"

Jiang Ru said happily: "The only thing left is to paint it! However, where do you get the yellow dan used in the dragon's belly? Don't just dig some mud to paste it on."

"It's easy." Li Chan smiled, picked up the ink cup, and started to draw.

The pen was dipped in pitch-black pine smoke ink, and when it was applied to the dragon's belly, a cloud of yellow came out.

At the same time, the color of the yellow dan powder on the table also became lighter.

Jiang Ru was stunned for a moment, looked away from the dragon's belly, looked at the yellow dan powder on the table, then looked at Li Chan, and exclaimed, "This is... Yishenquantitative?"
