God-level Golden Hand

Chapter 276 Vanishing Point Theory
What Xu Jingxing wants to do now is to integrate boundary painting and landscape painting, and use the expression method of boundary painting to describe the artistic conception of landscape painting.

It's easy to say, but very few can do it. The few famous world painters in history left their names in history only when they were able to do this. The painter who painted the architectural renderings of Jiechi was immersed in the tide of history without even splashing a wave.

Although Xu Jingxing said that he drew well, he hadn't done it for a long time, so he didn't dare to make too much of it. He directly took the construction drawings of the five wooden towers and the wooden arched bridge for reference, and compared the dimensions and The structure was clarified one by one, and a sketch was sketched on the straw paper with a pencil, and it was officially started after repeated revisions.

Cheng Lin and An Xin were watching on the sidelines. They couldn't help but marvel at his painting style.

I can't blame the two of them for fussing, but Jiehua's painting method is indeed a bit weird, because when painting, you need to use a ruler to draw lines, which is similar to the posture of preschool children when they learn to write.

But don't think that there is no difficulty if there is a boundary ruler. On the contrary, it is more difficult, because the boundary drawing is not a pencil, but a brush. Even if there is a boundary ruler as a standard, it is very difficult to draw thin and long lines with a brush. Difficult, because the brush cannot stick to the boundary ruler like a pencil, but must be separated by a certain distance to prevent the ink from contaminating the boundary ruler.

In this way, the stability of the palm is extremely high. If the hand is unstable, it is difficult to draw a slender straight line that meets the requirements even if there is a boundary ruler as a standard.

However, this is exactly Xu Jingxing's strength. His basic skills are very good, and his arm strength is far beyond ordinary people. Therefore, when drawing lines, it is called a standard. It doesn't matter whether the line is long or short, thin or thick, how straight it should be , How uniform and uniform it is, just like the ones drawn by laser inkjet.

You should know that a brush is not a pencil. The tip itself is thicker, and the flow of ink is not well controlled. It is very difficult to draw a thin, long and uniform line with a brush. The thinner the line, the more difficult it is. The requirements for details are very high, the lines are very thin, the thinnest is thinner than the diameter of a single hair, which is almost impossible for normal people to do.

But this is the main reason why Jiehua can become a separate genre. Masters of Jiehua must have the ultimate level of control over the brush. Drawing that kind of extremely thin and straight lines is just a basic skill. If you can do even this If you don't, then you can't even count as a painter.

Xu Jingxing is obviously a master painter, the lines he draws are almost impeccable, the thinnest one is thinner than a hair.

However, even though his palm is far more stable than ordinary people, he still has to concentrate on drawing lines. After all, he uses a brush, and the tip of the brush is very soft and uncontrollable. If there is an offset, such a line will be useless.

After one morning, he only finished drawing five wooden towers, and the wooden arcade bridge has not yet started to draw. It is not because he is inefficient, but because the boundary painting has too strict requirements on size. He made two mistakes when he first started. Can only start all over again.

Fortunately, I gradually regained the feel of the hand, and the five wooden towers were painted smoothly.

Because the boundary painting adopts the "vanishing point" painting concept in focal perspective, the five wooden towers appearing on the paper have a strong sense of three-dimensionality. point" theory, but it does not prevent them from applying this concept in practice early.

The five wooden towers with a strong three-dimensional effect appear alone on the rice paper, but the effect is very realistic. At first glance, it looks like five physical models standing there. If you do some shadow rendering, the three-dimensional effect will definitely be even better. Strong, comparable to real three-dimensional paintings - three-dimensional paintings are also one of Xu Jingxing's special skills.

However, boundary paintings are traditional Chinese paintings after all, and the requirements for rendering effects are not so high. If the rendering effect is too good, it will be realistic, but it will also destroy the artistic conception in traditional paintings. After all, boundary paintings are not architectural renderings, and the pursuit of traditional paintings has always been It's not the ultimate realism, even fine brushwork is the same.

If it is too realistic, it will reduce the imaginative space left to the viewer by the painting, especially the boundary painting. If there is no room for imagination, it will be a pure architectural rendering, and it is not as beautiful as the real rendering. What is there? meaning?
The content is too monotonous, and lacks the artistic conception and charm of traditional culture, and the realism is not as good as real meticulous painting, so it is no wonder that it is not left out.

What Xu Jingxing wants to do is to enrich the content of Jiehua, and the wooden pagoda is only one of the most basic contents. Based on the attics, houses, and buildings that Jiehua is good at, landscapes, figures, scenery, flowers and birds are used as the basis. The background, using creative concepts other than the boundary painting to enhance the connotation of the boundary painting itself, can make the boundary painting a work of art, not an architectural rendering.

In the afternoon, he started to draw the wooden arcade bridge first. The wooden tower and the wooden arcade bridge are the basis and the soul of the boundary painting, and the next thing he will do is to draw the wooden tower and the wooden arcade bridge. Draw mountains and water around, and other scenery for embellishment.

Because the template is a resort area, the mountains are not particularly high, and the water is not particularly beautiful, but it is enough to set off the wooden towers and wooden arched bridges, and a little exaggerated decorative brushwork is enough to play a very good role. foil effect.

The hills that are not high but stretching, the reservoir that is not beautiful but clear, with the appropriate brush strokes and blanking techniques, immediately make this somewhat monotonous painting come alive. The building with strong three-dimensional effect and great room for imagination The landscape background is matched together, presenting a unique and harmonious look, with clear primary and secondary, clear space, vivid brushwork and peaceful charm.

When he finished the last stroke, Cheng Lin who was on the side hurriedly took out her mobile phone, "This picture is very similar to a photo I took, and the angle is almost exactly the same," she said, showing the photo to Xu Jingxing.

Xu Jingxing glanced at it, nodded and smiled, "This shows that our ability to discover beauty is on the same level. Hehe, it is the most beautiful to see the whole resort from this angle. You can take all the scenery into your eyes, just like admiring a whole resort. A beautiful landscape painting."

"It's not about landscape painting. Your painting is too good. Although the level of realism is not as good as the photo, it looks more charming than the photo. From the same angle and the same scenery, my photo is more vivid, but it is not as good as yours. Compared with black and white paintings, there is no beauty at all.”

"This is the charm of art," Xu Jingxing said with a smile, but then shook his head, "I suddenly feel a little bit reluctant."
