God-level Golden Hand

Chapter 259 Is it difficult?
Seeing An Xin's helpless look, Xu Jingxing couldn't help but want to laugh a little. This girl is very quick at everything, whether it's housework, handwork, or learning to carve. It didn't take long. She found the trick, so it's rare for her to look embarrassed on weekdays.

But laughing, as a master, he can't patronize the master to see the disciple's jokes. He walked over and glanced at it, and asked, "I don't know where to start?"

"Yeah," An Xin nodded with her mouth aggrieved, "Master, you never taught me."

"Why didn't I teach you to draw so many pictures every day, and the feelings are all for nothing? Also, you have learned sketching before and have a certain foundation. Why can't you draw now?"

"But, but, can those be the same as this one? It's for carving," An Xin scratched her head and asked puzzled.

"Why is it different? Aren't they all in the category of art? You can draw and sculpt, just combine them."

"How to combine? Master, please teach me," An Xin said coquettishly with a smiling face.

An Xin is just that good, just ask if you don't understand, never pretend to understand, and don't feel embarrassed at all, to put it simply, it is "easy to learn".

Xu Jingxing was very satisfied with An Xin's attitude, so he nodded, but he didn't answer directly, but asked instead: "Have you thought about what you want to draw?"

"No, I feel that nothing I can paint is worthy of the inkstone you carved, Master," An Xin stuck out her tongue, and even said a little flattery.

"That's because you don't have any goods in your stomach." He tapped An Xin on the head, and then explained: "But your idea is correct. The most important thing in doing this kind of half-job is not how beautiful it is, but how beautiful it is. To be able to match with the other half, one is the style, the other is the theme, the two can be combined, even if the level is not good, it will look pleasing to the eye."

"Yes, yes, what Master said is too accurate. I have such a concept in my mind, but I just can't express it, hehe," An Xin nodded quickly.

"Since there is such a concept, it must involve the ability of art appreciation. If you can't even tell what level the other half of the art level is, then naturally there is no way to proceed, right?"

"Yes."

"Okay then, let's do a simple appreciation of this inkstone."

"This..." An Xin wrinkled her worried face when she heard his request.

"is it hard?"

"That's right, master, I, as an apprentice, am not qualified to comment on your works," said Anxin flatteringly.

"Don't do this with me, hurry up, I'll give you 3 minutes, I have to say something," he glared at An Xin, this is not just a joke, but teaching, his teaching mode In this way, regardless of time, location and factors, he can teach whatever he catches. He believes that the best learning is the accumulation of bits and pieces in daily life.

An Xin shrank her neck, picked up his square inkstone and looked at it seriously.

He reminded a few words from the side, "Just now we talked about style and subject matter, you should start from these two aspects."

An Xin's eyes lit up, she nodded vigorously, and said after a few seconds: "The theme is bluegrass, with ancient poems and curly grass patterns. The style is simple and clean with a bit of elegance and grandeur, hehe, isn't it so?"

"That's right, the summary is very accurate, so now you know how to match it with an inkstone cover?"

"Yeah, got it," An Xin nodded like a chick pecking at rice, picked up a pencil and dragged her cheeks to think for a while, and sketched a plum blossom on the paper. Not to mention, her art level has indeed improved, although it is only A simple plum blossom, but it is not easy to sketch it by hand.

After sketching the plum blossom, I thought hard for a long time, took out my mobile phone and searched for ancient poems describing plum blossoms, and after searching for a long time, I added two sentences on the paper, "It seems that it is actually an ordinary color, and the shade depends on him."

After finishing writing, he glanced at him timidly, "Master, is this okay?"

He didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically, "Tell me why you chose plum blossoms and these two poems."

An Xin thought for a while before answering: "Master, you said that the four gentlemen of plum blossom, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum are the favorite subjects of traditional literati, and both plum blossoms and orchids have the meaning of nobility and arrogance. One is leisurely and independent from the valley, and the other is It blooms indifferently in the cold winter, it is different from the common customs, and it feels very matching, so I chose plum blossoms."

"Well, what do these two poems say?"

An Xin swallowed quietly before continuing to answer: "Well, because these two poems are easy to understand, there are no too obscure words, and the shades are determined by him. They not only describe the scenery, but also describe the nobility of plum blossoms, and the inkstone is made of ink. When used, ink also pays attention to the change of shade, so I feel that the four words 'the shade is up to him' are very suitable for the inkstone."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at him cautiously, "Master, am I right?"

He stared at An Xin fixedly, very satisfied in his heart, but there was no expression on his face, and he said seriously after a few seconds: "Remember, there is no right or wrong, never doubt yourself. The way of thinking is wrong, because artistic creation requires a lot of trials and changes, only in this way can you find the way that suits you best, if you put a "right or wrong" set on your thinking, you will never want to have your own for the rest of your life. style."

An Xin nodded half-understood, "Master, I remember," she said "I remember", not "know" or "understand", she said that, it proves that she doesn't understand, But take this to heart.And this is the most sincere attitude towards learning. It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand, you must keep the words you should remember in your heart. Maybe at some point in the future, you will suddenly understand.

How did the so-called epiphany come about?It is sudden enlightenment when a question that I didn't understand before but kept in mind suddenly has an answer.If you can't even remember the questions you didn't want to understand, how can you talk about epiphany?

Keeping the questions that you don't understand in mind is to build the foundation for future epiphanies.

So he was very satisfied with An Xin, his apprentice, and then he praised: "Your ideas and ideas are very good. The most important thing is that you have a clear mind, know what kind of work you want, and know how to make up your mind before doing it. If you understand the central idea, everything will be a matter of course, but there is one point, I want to criticize you."

"What?" An Xin was just happy, and when she heard his words, she shrunk her neck again.

"Why are you checking your phone?"

"Ah? Me, I have very few poems about plums in my mind. I can only check my phone," An Xin realized the problem, and admitted her mistake without waiting for him to speak. "Master, I will try my best to recite Tang poems and Song poems in the future."
