Shenhao with a learning panel

Chapter 196 Standing on the Shoulders of Giants

He has graduated from university for several years, and he has completely thought about the postgraduate entrance examination.

Suddenly there was a movement in my heart, thoughtful.

If you choose to study fine arts, as a project to impact the master...

Li Shi clicked on the input box, and with his fingers flying, he typed and asked, "Mr. Gao, can I take the postgraduate entrance examination of the Academy of Fine Arts if I cross majors?"

As soon as I asked, Gao Mei's news kept coming back.

"Of course, I used to know a graduate student when I was in school, and she majored in English as an undergraduate."

"But it's very difficult. Not only do you have to pass the initial test, but you also have to impress the interviewing tutor with business lessons during the retest."

"In art colleges, the postgraduate entrance examination actually depends more on the tutor...to successfully pass the re-examination. After all, the grading of art major examination papers is subjective, especially in relatively low-ranking colleges...As far as I know, teachers usually admit themselves first. Institution’s top academics > their own students > academic tops > students.”

"If you really have this idea, I would suggest that you choose the best school to prepare for the exam, because the better the school, the fairer the exam will be, and the discrimination will be relatively less. It is mainly judged by test scores and professional ability. .”

"To be honest, if you prepare well for two years, if you can pass the initial test and enter the re-test, I think you should have a chance! After all, you have only studied for so long, and you can draw such works... Copying and modeling skills aside, The key is that in these two paintings of yours, I saw 'spiritual energy', and even my family, Guo Ying, admired your talent."

Li Shi looked at Gao Mei's constant messages, and was a little embarrassed by her compliments.

"It seems that Teacher Gao really thought about mobilizing himself to take the postgraduate entrance examination."

But, is my talent in painting really as high as she said?

After Li Shibing thought calmly and rationally, he felt that he did have a good talent in painting. This was due to his superhuman physique, which made his memory better, his hands more stable, and his perception ability stronger...but that's all. , I can have such a fast progress, half of the credit is actually due to my own efforts.

Over the past month or so, apart from going to the studio for six hours of class during the day, I will continue to study on my own when I get home. I often don’t go to bed until two or three o’clock in the morning, and especially wake up at six o’clock the next morning to continue studying for two or three hours , and then go to class.

One day for yourself is to be like someone else for five days to learn!
As for Mr. Gao’s saying that he saw his “reiki” in these two paintings, it should be derived from the aesthetic accumulation of female portraits during his photography studies.

I felt it clearly when I was painting——painting women with good facial features and outstanding temperament is obviously more inspirational than painting other objects.

Li Shi thought for a while, and replied: "The postgraduate entrance examination is too far away from me, and painting is just a hobby (smiley face)."

Gao Mei: "Oh, yes, even if you are talented, the time to learn painting is still too short. If you want to achieve the same level of academic ability as a bachelor's degree, you must prepare wholeheartedly for two years. Can't do anything... Forget it, you're not short of money, and it's good to treat it as a hobby. (呵牙)"

Li Shi replied with a smile: "Yes."

In my heart, I wrote down the "postgraduate entrance examination".

In the future, no matter what knowledge or skill you choose to learn to challenge the master, after reaching (proficiency-), taking the postgraduate entrance examination is one of the means to continue your studies.

Next, Gao Mei sorted out and edited her comments after the discussion with Guo Ying, and sent them over.

A long review, very detailed, with a lot of advantages and disadvantages.

After Li Shi finished reading, he compared the two paintings, and suddenly felt a sense of wonder.

Before, I thought that there was "nothing to modify" in the painting, and it seemed that there were a few "flaws" out of thin air.

"Sure enough, it's clear to the bystanders. As mentioned in the comments, my handling of the boundary line between light and dark can indeed be more delicate, and more changes will be better..."

"Basic skills! Although my current basic skills are good, they are not enough!"

After thinking about it for a while, Li Shi scratched the back of his head, and sent another WeChat message to Gao Mei: "Mr. Gao, if I want to continue to strengthen my basic skills, how should I practice?"

On Gao Mei's side, she originally thought that today's guidance had come to an end, she put down her phone and was pestering the drowsy Guo Ying.

Guo Ying squinted her eyes and looked at the girlfriend who hinted with her hands that he would pay the public rations, and complained in her heart.

He saw Gao Mei's work status before, and thought that she didn't have that kind of thinking tonight. While she was communicating with Li Shi, he found an excuse to go to the public bathroom in the living room to take a shower, and then watched a ten-minute short video... Unexpectedly, as soon as Gao Mei put down her phone, she became interested.

Just as Guo Ying gritted her teeth and decided to risk her life... Gao Mei's cell phone rang again.

She patted her boyfriend's thigh vigorously, gave him a gouged look, and then picked up the phone. After reading Li Shi's question, she thought for a moment and began to type a reply.

Seeing this, Guo Ying quickly said, "I suddenly got a little inspiration, go over there and create something, don't wait for me, go to bed first."

After speaking, he got up and left the bedroom.

While typing, Gao Mei looked at the back of her boyfriend going out, and the corners of her mouth twitched. After answering Li Shi's message, she opened the Jingdong app and bought five catties of good wolfberries.

After Li Shi received the message, he quickly read it carefully.

"Of course it is still copying famous works, but it is different from your previous copying method, which is equivalent to copying the results directly when doing a problem. Now that you have a certain level, this copying method of copying the results It doesn't matter much to you, you need to push the essence."

"Before copying, first think about why the original author composed the picture in such a way, why the light and shadow are rendered in such a way, what principles are in line with, and the reasoning of colors... In short, it is necessary to clarify the purpose of copying in advance, such as observing and studying how the original author handles the boundary between light and dark , When copying, we must seriously experience it with questions."

……

The reason is very simple, Li Shi understood it at a glance, and immediately replied "Thank you, Mr. Gao", then found the ultra-high-resolution atlas of famous sketches from the tablet, and began to train positively.

Because he was alone, he didn't suppress his hand speed during training.

But because the way of copying has changed, the speed is much slower than before.

In the past, some uncomplicated works usually only took ten minutes to copy, but this time, he thought about the problem for 10 minutes first, and then wrote, and slowly realized while copying. Minutes, a piece of work can be copied for as short as four to five or [-] minutes, and as long as more than one minute.

But in this training, every time he copied a painting, he could clearly feel his progress!
This feeling brought Li Shi a great sense of accomplishment, which made him enjoy it very much, immersed in it, and forgot the time for a while.

One, two, three...

It wasn't until the sky outside the window turned from black to white, and the light in the room changed, that Li Shi suddenly came back to his senses. Looking at the time, it was already 55:[-] in the morning.

"This feeling is so cool, like staying up late chasing "Coiling Dragon" when I was a freshman. I feel like the sky is dawning after watching it for a while... Sigh, at that time, I had just left the bitter sea of ​​high school, and my mother hadn't been sick yet. It is the most worry-free time before I get the learning panel."

Li Shi smiled with emotion, and flipped through the sketchbook.

"I only copied six copies in one night, which is extremely slow for me, but the harvest is even greater than the sixty copies I copied before!"

He called up the learning panel, stared at it, and vaguely felt that the sketch he was learning was not far from being upgraded to (proficient).

"I'm standing on the shoulders of giants, absorbing nutrients that are useful to me from the works of various famous artists, so as to grow and develop myself."

"I feel like copying seven or eight more copies with questions will be able to upgrade!"

Li Shi put down his sketchbook, set the alarm clock for an hour, went to bed and slept for a while, woke up at [-]:[-], copied a picture of "Ayiguli" by the painter He Yu, and went to the hotel restaurant at [-] o'clock After having breakfast, I continued copying after returning.

At eight o'clock, he called Lu Congwei.

The phone rang for a while before being connected: "Brother, wait a minute, I still have something to do here, I will get back to you later."

This time it was Lu Congwei himself who answered the phone, but he hung up the phone after only one sentence.

Li Shi smiled and shook his head. At [-]:[-], when he was copying the third painting in the morning, Lu Congwei called back.

Lu Congwei went straight to the point, and said with a smile: "Brother, I'm sorry, brother, I met a girl who is quite eye-catching, and I decided to accompany her well today. I can't go to the sea on the yacht."

What else can Li Shi say, and he didn't care whether he went out on a yacht or not. He didn't go this time, but next time he will go. As long as he has money, he can go wherever he wants in the future. He smiled and said, "It's okay." , Brother, take it easy, after all, you are of this age, so make sure you are in good health."

After joking a few words, I hung up the phone.

After a while, Chen Yao called and asked him if he would go to the fair.

Today is the last day, and the bidding will be opened tomorrow, but the stones in the venue have been seen almost the same two days ago. He didn't plan to bid, and it would be of no use if he went, so he said that he would not go today.

All morning, Li Shi stayed in the hotel doing copying training for famous masters.

For him, this type of training works too well.

At [-]:[-] noon, Li Shi finished copying another portrait of an old man by the painter Zhao Chengming, put down his pen, and called out the learning panel again——

"It's only one line away from upgrading."

This time, the faint feeling from the panel was clearer, and Li Shi's spirit was lifted!
However, he quickly calmed down again.

"This poor line cannot be broken through by copying, it needs to be created!"

"Copying improves the basic skills, and creating is to bring out these improvements!"

Li Shi got up, stretched his waist, and was about to go out to look for food, and at the same time see if he could find some creative inspiration.

I went into the bathroom to wash my hands, went out with the room card, and came to the lobby on the first floor. As soon as I let the front desk call a car for me, I answered Lu Congwei's call.

"Brother, it's urgent, do me a favor!"
