Rebirth of the Painted Soul

Chapter 24 Grayscale...

For Qi Hengzhi, Liang Hanqing these past few weeks was incredible.

For Pan Xiu and others, Liang Hanqing in the past few weeks is very gratifying.

For Liang Hanqing himself, these few weeks... Uh, he didn't feel much.

It is still two points and one line, or maybe there is no line at all. Liang Hanqing has been in the studio for the past few weeks, and sometimes he may go to the cafeteria, but most of the meals are still brought by Qi Hengzhi for him.

Since the last epiphany, Liang Hanqing found that the brush seemed to have life in his hands. Painting a painting is as easy as breathing. Such a wonderful feeling has made Liang Hanqing unable to stop these few weeks, immersed in the world of lines and colors. Inextricable.

Every time he finishes painting, he doesn't care whether the painting is good or not, but cares about whether the painting process is beautiful. This fresh feeling makes him relax a lot. Yan Mingzheng, Pan Xiu and He Zhiyan came to teach in silence. Looking at his progress, each painting is a small step, but Liang Hanqing paints more than one painting every day. With his hard work and talent, it is not an exaggeration to make a thousand miles a day.

Today's class is attended by He Zhiyan. Teachers like them generally don't care about Qi Hengzhi, but just show him the paintings occasionally, because they all know that Qi Hengzhi's talent and hard work are at this stage of improvement. There will be plans of their own, and they have no intention of interfering.As for Liang Hanqing, although he painted very well and made rapid progress, these are only relative terms. There is still a big gap between Liang Hanqing and those world-renowned young painters, not only him, but also Qi Hengzhi.

He Zhiyan stood behind Liang Hanqing, watching him painting. He Zhiyan touched his chin. He once discussed Liang Hanqing's current situation with Pan Xiu. Pan Xiu once said that when Liang Hanqing was painting, as long as there was a teacher standing behind him, he would I know, then his painting is definitely not good.But today He Zhiyan found that when he was standing behind Liang Hanqing, Liang Hanqing didn't even look back at him as before, but just drew his own picture. He Zhiyan smiled in relief. This change is really good, Liang Hanqing is no longer restrained , then his painting talent can be displayed to the fullest.

With a sigh of relief, the last sketch of today has been completed. Because he found that Qi Hengzhi had his own practice plan, he also took the time to draw up one. Among them, sketch the human body twice a day, with no time limit, and today's second After the painting was completed, he breathed a sigh of relief. Liang Hanqing turned around and smiled at He Zhiyan, got up and put the painting away, and then walked to He Zhiyan's side.

He Zhiyan crossed his arms and rested his cheeks, carefully looking at Liang Hanqing's painting, well, the relationship between light and dark is handled very well, the stretching and turning of the muscles is not bad, and the facial expressions of the characters are particularly wonderful, thanks to Pan Xiu's guide.After looking at it again, He Zhiyan walked a few steps to the painting, pointed at a place and said to Liang Hanqing: "Ah Qing, you have to deal with it here, this painting will be wonderful, come and see it , where is your failure here." After He Zhiyan finished speaking, he stared at Liang Hanqing and remained silent.

Liang Hanqing looked at the painting, looked at the place He Zhiyan pointed, and said hesitantly: "Could it be that the wrist is not handled well?"

He Zhiyan nodded approvingly, and said with a smile: "That's right, look, the wrist is a relatively flexible joint, and the shape of the wrist depends largely on the dynamics of the wrist. Your character's hand rests on the knee. Yes, then his arc should be relatively soft and stable, and the turning of the finger joints still needs to be practiced more. Others, there is nothing. In addition, you need to pay attention to the texture of the characters. If it has a big impact, you still need to observe more in normal times.”

After listening, Liang Hanqing stared at the painting and fell into deep thought, looking at the wrist movements from time to time, as if thinking about how to shape various changes in activities. After a while, Liang Hanqing nodded and said: "Well, I understand, this painting is still Have you passed the test?" I only draw two sketches of characters every day, but these two paintings must pass the teacher's test, otherwise the unqualified one needs to be redrawn, and it will not pass the test until it can be drawn well. Liang Hanqing set the rules himself.

He Zhiyan nodded and said: "Well, of course you have passed the test. The next painting on your schedule is gouache, and there is still some time before lunch. I saw that your paint box was dirty yesterday, and there is not much paint left. Now, you take advantage of this time to clean up and tidy up, and you just have a rest." After that, he went to the side to rest, and He Zhiyan felt relieved about Liang Hanqing's gouache.

Qi Hengzhi on the other side just finished his painting at this time. What he drew was a sketch of a landscape, which is a little more difficult than a sketch of a figure.Qi Hengzhi stretched himself, with a slender waist and long legs, and a tall figure, which was a kind of visual enjoyment for others.He heard the conversation between He Zhiyan and Liang Hanqing just now, put down his arms, and looked at Liang Hanqing's painting just completed, Qi Hengzhi raised his eyebrows and smiled, um, it's really good, and there has been progress.He was praising in his heart, but he didn't show half of it on his face, he still had that indifferent expression.

Liang Hanqing was squatting there with a scraper scraping the paint, his hands were colorful, like a palette, but he didn't care, he was still scraping the remaining, dirty-looking paint in the paint box.For Liang Hanqing, these colors are the best gift from heaven to him.Liang Hanqing puts all the dirty colors in a gouache box. He does this every time he disposes of the paint box. The reason is not because he needs to save money and keep these, but because he knows that the purity of these dirty ones is no longer there. The paints like before are useful. He puts these paints together, and then stirs the colors together with a spatula until they blend into a very gray color, and each time the color is different from the previous one.

While mixing those paints, a pair of long legs appeared in sight.

Liang Hanqing stopped and looked up. The one standing in front of him was Qi Hengzhi. Seeing clearly who was coming, Liang Hanqing lowered her head and concentrated on disturbing him.

Qi Hengzhi squatted down, hugged his knees and watched Liang Hanqing adjust the color. After watching for a while, he suddenly asked, "Why do you keep those dirty colors? Is it useful?" Qi Hengzhi asked this because he saw Liang Hanqing would do this every time she tidied up the paint box, and today she finally couldn't help asking.

Liang Hanqing didn't even raise her head, she kept her hands in her hands and said, "It's useful, you don't need to know it's useless."

Qi Hengzhi asked again: "What's the use?"

Liang Hanqing raised her head this time, and said, "When you paint, do you have to paint some places with dust?"

Qi Hengzhi nodded.

Liang Hanqing said again: "Then did you find that the 'advanced gray' in the gouache is a bit unnatural?"

Qi Hengzhi nodded again.

Liang Hanqing continued: "Look, isn't the gray scale of this one very good?" Liang Hanqing said while handing the finished paint to Qi Hengzhi.

Qi Hengzhi took it over and looked at it, and replied: "Yes, indeed."

Liang Hanqing took the paint box that Qi Hengzhi handed over, and while covering the lid, said: "Sometimes these things will give you unexpected effects in the painting, if you want it some other day, just ask me, I will There are still several cans."

Qi Hengzhi nodded, sat aside, and didn't speak.

Liang Hanqing took all the colors out of the paint box and went to the water room with the things.Sitting on the stool, Qi Hengzhi crossed his legs and looked thoughtfully at Liang Hanqing's receding figure.

He is from a family of painters, so someone in his family knows that the "advanced gray" in gouache is too pure and raw, making it unnatural to paint, so when he was just learning to paint gouache a long time ago, someone taught him how to make it The color becomes grayer, no doubt more colors are adjusted, the environment color is strengthened and colored, and then other used colors on the palette are added, and the painting is very natural.Bending down to pick up the small box of dirty paint on the ground, Qi Hengzhi frowned, remembering Liang Hanqing's words, smiled slightly, maybe it would be good to try a little, and see if there is any surprise.
