Shu embroidery

But she appeared here to become an apprentice embroidery artist, apparently for the 10 annual salary. It was precisely because she saw that it was her that Zhou Xu deliberately increased the annual salary to 20, hoping that she would pass the interview smoothly. solve the current economic crisis.

"It's okay!" Zhou Xu returned all the award certificates in his hand to her, but hid the surprise.

He continued to say gently: "Although you have won more certificates, it can only prove that your basic drawing skills have been recognized, and there is no way to prove your embroidery skills.

There is a complete set of embroidery tools here. You have two hours to embroider a work at will. After getting my approval, it will be regarded as passing the first test, and I will immediately arrange for you to participate in the re-test. "

After Zhou Xu finished speaking, he sat down directly five or six meters in front of the stretcher, ignored Shen Chuqing, opened the laptop on the table, and started to work on his own.

Shen Chuqing carefully looked at the embroidered manuscripts on the shelf next to her, including traditional Chinese paintings, oil paintings, and even some exquisite photos.

The only thing that made her breathe a sigh of relief was that although there were pictures of dragons in these sketches, there were also other types. In other words, Mr. Qunfang did not require everyone who came for the interview to embroider dragons.

Selecting a good embroidery manuscript is the most critical first step in an embroidery work. First of all, it is necessary to estimate whether this embroidery manuscript can be completed within the specified time?
Next, the most important thing is that the theme must be clear, beautiful, atmospheric, and not too complicated. It must be simple and expressive.

In other words, the embroidery manuscript is the soul of embroidery, which is as important as the design drawings for architecture.

As a student of the Academy of Fine Arts, Shen Chuqing naturally has a unique vision. It only took 2 minutes to select what she wanted to do from the many manuscripts.

The next step is to start sketching. This is a special test of art skills. However, with the development of technology, many people have learned to use cameras or computers to make tricks and directly print the drawing on the base material.

But this set is definitely not going to work here. Looking at the whole room, except for the laptop in Zhou Xu's hand, almost all the embroidery tools are traditional.

Obviously, Mr. Qunfang is a master who abides by traditional culture very much, otherwise he would not be required to be a graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts.

Shen Chuqing has a solid background in art, she can see the size and ratio of the drawings at a glance, and even the color levels are all printed in her mind.

It is completely possible to put the base material on the stretcher without drawing, and start to plan and allocate according to the colors on the drawing, and select embroidery threads.

After finding out all the embroidery threads to be used, Shen Chuqing quickly determined the color blocks of each part and the direction of the silk texture, and went through the needle movements of each part in her mind before she began to think about it. The order of needle application.

Zhou Xu looked up at her occasionally, and saw that she was making preparations in an orderly manner. From her unhurried expression, it could be seen that she did have some background.

Two hours is very fast, so I can only embroider a simple work. For relatively simple reasons, Shen Chuqing didn't even mark the contour line, color block difference mark and silk texture direction indicator line.

He took out the embroidery thread to be used in the first step, and started to enter the embroidery program directly. Simple overlapping embroidery is generally divided into three layers of embroidery. Understand.

When the second layer is embroidered, it is required to be slightly thinner than the first layer, and the embroidery is carried out according to the order of priority, from large to small. The stitches must be short, and they must be fully pressed and thrown. There is a slight improvement, but people who have played with embroidery needles since childhood do not find it difficult.

It took only half an hour to complete the first two layers, and the outline of the entire embroidery surface was completely presented in front of my eyes.

Shen Chuqing checked again carefully, improved some areas that needed improvement, and began to enter the most important third floor.

Finely and plump the entire embroidery surface, and carry out artistic processing according to the drawing, so that the brightness and color of the line trend can be unified with the drawing.

In it, Shen Chuqing added some of her own understanding and perception, making the embroidery look a little more lively than the drawing, and making the whole embroidery look more energetic.

Shen Chuqing's movements were particularly fast, because she hadn't done a complete sketch, so she added some elements she liked more to the embroidery.

It took about an hour and 45 minutes, and a pair of Xiahe embroidery in full bloom was fully presented under her hands.

Shen Chuqing was not in a hurry to deliver the manuscript, but she lowered her head and carefully checked the difference between the drawing and the embroidery. Is there any deficiencies in the layout?

Needless to say, she really found it at this point. At the lower end of the lotus petals, the positions of the light pink and light pink were changed, which made the layered colors of the whole lotus look a little weird.

Such a mistake, as a student of the Academy of Fine Arts, cannot be committed in any case.

While Shen Chuqing secretly despised herself, she looked at the embroidered surface on the stretcher, and when she was thinking about how to remedy it, Zhou Xu had already put away her laptop, and said gently, "It's time, please submit your work." .”

Shen Chuqing took the embroidered mask off the stretcher, walked up to him with a guilty conscience, and handed it to him.

Zhou Xu knew from the beginning that what she embroidered was lotus, but he still couldn't help asking, "Why not embroider dragons?"

"Why embroider dragons?" Shen Chuqing asked directly.

"Follow what you like"

"I'm afraid of painting a tiger into a dog"

Originally just asking casually, she began to be tit-for-tat again. Zhou Xu thought it was her habit, but he didn't know that Shen Chuqing's aggressive emotions at the moment were actually just to cover up her inner worries and inadequacies.

Zhou Xu did not continue to argue with her, but carefully looked at the embroidered surface in his hand. To be the chief examiner of Mr. Qunfang's first test, Zhou Xu naturally possessed a high level of technical appraisal, and he could see the entire embroidered surface at a glance. The problem.

"It can be seen from this stitching method that a lot of effort has been put into it, and the strength of the stitching is also very good. The whole embroidery surface is clean and fresh, but the color is slightly lacking.

The changes in stitches mastered are also relatively simple, and they are all common to the general public. Although the work can reach C-level or above, the overall heat is still somewhat lacking. "

"If I can really do everything, why should I come here to learn from a teacher?"
