God-level Golden Hand

Chapter 213 Copying
"Now that you have mastered it, let's try," Xu Jingxing said with a smile.

An Xin nodded, then focused her attention on the portrait stone in front of her to enter the state, and began to copy this seemingly very simple pattern in her heart.

Don't look at the simplicity of what An Xin did, in fact, this is Xu Jingxing's unique secret, which he learned from his father, and ordinary people can't master it.When almost everyone learns calligraphy, painting or sculpture, they start with the skills of their hands, how to grasp the brush and the knife, how to use the brush and the knife, but Xu Jingxing starts with imagination.

Whether he learns sculpture, painting or calligraphy, it all starts with imagination. First, he imagines in his mind what other people's works would do if he created it himself.It was difficult at first, because he couldn't concentrate at all, and he hadn't mastered some skills, so he could only rely on his own imagination. But after getting used to it, he found that this seemingly lazy imagining process made his creation easier It is simpler, faster, more focused, and more agile in thinking than ordinary people.

He didn't pay much attention to this before, but after accepting An Xin as his apprentice, he suddenly realized that the training he had received seemed to be chaotic, but in fact everything contained his father's good intentions.

Now, he entrusts this trick to An Xin, his precious apprentice. As for how much An Xin can master, it depends on her understanding, because no one else can see the effect of this trick, only he knows it best .

Half a minute later, An Xin shook her head dejectedly, "Master, no, I can't carve the feeling of the painting. I obviously think that my engraving is better, but I don't have that feeling. Anyway, it's just that I can't tell." feeling."

"You hit a nail," he teased with a smile, and then said, "Take out your mobile phone and take a picture of this picture. This picture is the question for your first-stage graduation exam. Copy it when you have time. Not only do you have to copy in your heart, but you also have to copy on paper, with a brush, when you can copy three-point charm, even if you have graduated from the first stage, after the first stage, I will teach you the second stage."

"Huh? This is the first stage?"

"Of course, didn't you say it? Such a simple painting is not as good-looking as yours. I'm giving you a graduation question, and I feel like I'm letting water out."

"Master, stop teasing me, tell me quickly, what is the mystery in this painting," An Xin yelled dissatisfiedly with her mouth pouting.

"Do you know there is a mystery?" He chuckled, and then explained seriously: "Even though this portrait uses the most basic ground-relief relief technique, the characters are also very simple, but the characters in the painting are fine. Their basic features are on display, and they are so clear, so obvious, that they can be identified at a glance."

"In addition, the most important point is to look at their lines. Although the lines are simple, they are surprisingly smooth, and there is a bit of ancient taste in the smoothness. Unfortunately, you can't touch them. Otherwise, you can close your eyes and touch them gently. You can feel the beauty in the simple lines.”

"During the Han Dynasty, the art of carving was still in its infancy, especially the art of stone carving was still in a very primitive stage, which was several grades behind jade carving, but it did not mean that they lacked the most basic aesthetic ability and artistic creation. Although the social status of these stone portraits was not comparable to that of jade and gold and silver wares at that time, they were not available to ordinary people, and each of them was the embodiment of the highest level of those stone carving artists at that time."

As soon as Xu Jingxing opened his mouth, he couldn't stop talking, because An Xin's background was too poor. Although he was smart and eager to learn, he lacked too many things. He had to talk more, even some basic historical common sense. Talk for a long time.

But that's how it is with apprentices. If you want to teach a truly good apprentice, you must teach them hand in hand. There is no other way.stocking?Unless your apprentice is a genius with strong self-discipline, outstanding learning ability, and a good living environment.Otherwise, it would be good for the apprentices who are free to let go and lose the other, if they don't take evil paths and detours, will they be successful?Don't even think about it.

Recalling his learning process and energy when he was a child, his father raised him as an apprentice, and his every move was full of deep meaning, but he woke up a bit late, and only after he accepted An Xin as an apprentice did he gradually realize his father's kindness at that time. Work hard.

Fortunately, it is not too late to wake up. While teaching Anxin, he is also having an experience similar to "ruminating", taking out what his father taught him to re-understand and re-learn, so that he can improve his abilities in all aspects. It has been further strengthened, which is equivalent to remaking yourself.

For example, now, he seems to be explaining to An Xin, but in the process of explaining, it is also a process for him to re-acquire this knowledge. After all, he never had the opportunity to observe these ingenious and ineffective portraits so closely before. .

What he said was enjoyable, and An Xin also listened to it, like a large dry sponge that fell into a lake, eagerly absorbing these seemingly useless knowledge.

As a result, the master and apprentice strolled until the museum was about to close, and only visited a small part of it, not even finishing the part of "Shinto Heavenly Road".But facing the strange eyes of the staff in the art gallery, the two of them could only sneak out in despair. When they came out, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.

An Xin smiled and said: "Master, it's really enjoyable, and I will definitely come again next time I have a chance."

He nodded, "I must come, not only here, but also the stone portrait art museums in Wancheng, Jinguan City, and Chang'an City. The domestic stone portrait art museums are centered on these four areas. The portraits in each area Each of the stone capitals has its own characteristics, and it is worth observing carefully," he said, looking back at the art museum that was about to close, and sighed softly, "Unfortunately, time is a bit tight, and it will be next year or even the year after at the earliest."

An Xin giggled, "Master, what are you afraid of? We are still young. Take your time and take a long look. Anyway, these art museums will not suddenly disappear."

He nodded, "That's reasonable, but it's better to see the good things earlier, not only when you get old, but also feel regretful, your master and I are a little regretful now, I didn't get to see these portrait stones earlier, otherwise, hehe , your master's carving level must be higher than now."

"Hey, Master, what do you mean, you have made progress now?" An Xin blinked and asked.

"That's natural, otherwise I'm sorry for the money I spent," he said, shaking off a large pile of rubbings he bought in his hand.
