Painter

Chapter 56: Chapter 56: Retouching ([-])

Under the palace wall, after talking with Liu Jianpan for a few words, Li Chan continued to look at the picture of Cang Bi on Dancha.The painting just now seemed to come alive, but after looking at it for a while, he could also see that the divine birds, auspicious beasts, bears, tigers and leopards on the palace wall were not monsters enclosed in the painting, they were indeed painted.Since this gray mole is only drawn, but it can take shape, is this the so-called self-flying on the wall?

Li Sijian looked at the damaged murals and said to the painters: "I'm going to restore this painting of all spirits towards the Yuan Dynasty. Although the Buddha's head is covered with dung and the dog's tail is continued with sables, the sacrificial work is very important. I can only bite the bullet. Do you think there are any difficulties in restoring this mural? Please tell them one by one, and it is best to discuss and solve it.”

All the painters were talking about it, and Liu Jian said: "The traces of these paints are blurred by the rain, and it is difficult to see the original shape of the Cangbi painting. Director Cao, who is in charge of Xunning Palace, should have seen this Cangbi painting... ..."

"There are tens of thousands of pictures in the painting of Wanling Dynasty and Yuan Dynasty." Cao Yun smiled bitterly, "I have seen this picture of Cangbi, but I only have a general impression. If I want to talk about the details of the picture, I can't remember the details. of."

Li Sijian clicked his tongue, stroked his beard and said, "It's difficult, it's difficult."

A painter said: "There are records in "Shuyiji" and "Xuanguailu" that this cangbi has a snake head and a body covered with green scales, and has the blood of Mengzhang Shenjun, who is an oriental black dragon. Si Chun was born in the palm of his hand and created things during his time, so he secretly thought that he could set up an altar to worship the god Meng Zhang, or he could get a trace of the charm of Cang Bi Tu?"

Cao Yun said: "This is a good idea. I will send someone to try it out, but I can only ask you how to draw it. As for me, I have some impressions of this picture. I will only draw it in the end. Then, we can make a judgment.”

Li Chan has been quietly standing under the Cangbi map, observing the flow of energy in the Wan Lingchao Yuan map.The so-called energy is a form of heaven and earth vitality. He has not planted the Tao and is not yet a practitioner, but he can feel this energy. It is not relying on the few physical spirits on his body, but the innate magical powers of his eyes .

The more he observes the flow of energy in the painting of Wanling Chaoyuan, the more he feels that it is like a painting environment constructed by him with his blue eyes to draw the demonic energy.In Li Chengzhou's painting of Wanling Chaoyuan, there is actually a painting scene?Is it true that all the pursuits of painting the road lead to the same goal in the end?
After a long time, he looked along the palace wall, Wan Ling Chaoyuan map spread far away, calculated to be thousands of feet long.

Li Sijian approached Li Chan.On the mural next to it, there is a green ox stepping on a stone, next to a resident bird in clothes. He said: "This green ox has a strong backbone, and it is walking on mountains and rocks. It is probably painted in the color of sky and water, which has the style of Western Shu. This clothes The resident bird is "boneless", and the painting method of Tianshui Tongcolor has the style of Jiangnan. It has always been that the art of Jiangnan is not as strong as that of Western Shu, but it is chic and wild. They are two completely different factions, but the master of painting Now, the painting styles of hundreds of schools are easy to come by, and they are eclectic, which is really unimaginable and amazing."

A painter nearby said: "Although the Cangbi picture is damaged, the style and implication of this picture can be glimpsed from the decoration on the side of the painting."

"Yes." Li Sijian nodded, "Which style does Li Lang think this picture of Cangbi is?"

Li Sijian's question made Li Chan recover from his thoughts. It's really hard for him to say which faction painted this Cangbi picture.After traveling in the West for many years, he has learned a lot about Western painting, but after coming to Dayong, he devoted all his energy to seeking Tao, but did not have much communication with the painters of Dayong.I only know the three major painting schools of Academy, Wen, and Zen in general, but I don’t know much about the complicated factions subdivided under the three major schools of painting, so I said: “Mr. What style is the mural painting in?"

Just as Li Chan finished speaking, a painter next to him said, "The color of this gray scorpion is peculiar. I don't know the ratio of the pigments in it. Why don't you scrape some off and have a look?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone echoed.After all, to repair the murals, the damaged pigments must be scraped off after all. An old painter from the Hanlin Academy of Painting came forward with a scraper and a plate.

Li Chan hastily stopped him. He looked at the painting of Wanling Chaoyuan from a different angle than these painters. The painters looked at the paintings on the wall, but he looked at the painting behind the paintings.In Danqing's eyes, the Qi mechanism of Wanling Chaoyuan map has been unable to flow smoothly in this damaged Cangbi map, but this Cangbi doesn't seem to be "dead" yet.If it is destroyed again, the consequences will be hard to say.

The old painter frowned, "If you don't know the ratio of paints, how to repair the murals, does Li Lang have a better way?"

"Yes." Li Chan looked around the crowd, and finally his eyes fell on Cao Yun, "Director Cao asked me to preside over the restoration of this mural, does that count?"

Cao Yun looked at Li Sijian, hesitated for a moment, and replied, "Do the math."

Li Chan said: "Then please don't touch this picture of Cangbu before I come back."

……

Upstairs in Deyue, Han Ke drank to pass the time by himself.Lu Zijing watched from a distance as Li Chan left Cangbitu and walked slowly along the palace wall from south to north. After half an hour, he only walked a few hundred steps.

After watching for a while, Lu Zijing left Yunlan.He took out the unpolished bronze mirror from his pocket, and polished it carefully with the suede side of the calfskin.
