Datang: Li Er, are you teaching me how to do things?

Chapter 222 The class is over

After two full hours, when it was time to eat, Li Yun completely taught Dugu Yanjun the essence of modern painting.

She absorbed very quickly, just as Li Yun predicted, Dugu Yanjun has a very high talent in modern painting.

Moreover, her paintings are vivid and joyful, with a small sense of joy.

"Cuckoo!"

Dugu Hong's stomach protested, he smiled awkwardly, and hurriedly asked his servants to prepare and let them arrange lunch.

An hour later, Dugu Hong came to Li Yun gently, "Your Highness, many painters want to meet His Highness, do you have time?"

Li Yun thought about it, and decided to meet these painters.

From the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the level of traditional Chinese painting was low, and there was no unified standard for painting at this time.

It was not until Jing Hao in the Five Dynasties period that he put forward a systematic aesthetic theory of traditional Chinese painting.

Li Yun's speaking out now can be regarded as a contribution to Tang Dynasty painting.

After a while, Li Yun came to the hall of Dugu Mansion, and he found that hundreds of people had already gathered there, and these people were undoubtedly well-known painters in Chang'an.

Only then are they eligible to enter the hall of Dugu Mansion.

Dugu Yanjun also followed. She was originally curious, but seeing so many people, she couldn't help being a little scared, and then worried about Li Yun.

"Master Mu, be careful."

Her voice was very low, and thanks to Li Yun's good health and sharp eyes and ears, she heard Dugu Yanjun's words.

He smiled slightly, paused, waited for Dugu Yanjun to stand beside him, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, in my heart, these people are all big wax gourds."

"You too, don't be afraid when you meet strangers, just treat them as big watermelons."

Dugu Yanjun was taken aback, looking at the pair of clear eyes inside the mask, blushing.

Li Yun smiled, and then walked over. He was sitting on the top seat with a big horse, with an attitude that I am a teacher and you all listen to me.

"Hello, Senior Tang."

The painters didn't have so much arrogance. When they saw Li Yun, they all bent down and bowed.

They have long been overwhelmed by Li Yun's "Lady Picture", knowing that their level of self-knowledge is low and they cannot compare with Li Yun.

Li Yun smiled lightly, and then said: "You are all famous painters in Chang'an, right?"

Everyone saluted one after another, saying that they dare not.

Li Yun didn't care, and waved his hand, "Since everyone is here, let me talk about it, you all move your stools and sit down, prepare paper and pens, I will explain today's knowledge, you listen to it , will benefit endlessly.”

What he said was insane, and the painters did not expect Li Yun to have such an attitude.

I thought I would make friends through painting.

As a result, Li Yun just took the attitude that you are all rubbish.

The painters were a little angry. Some of them stood motionless and looked at Li Yun with a sneer, while some felt that it was normal for Li Yun to be arrogant at this level, so they rushed to move the chairs.

If there is one, there will be a second one, and then one after another, the painter who sneered at Li Yun before also moved chairs.

Dugu Yanjun looked at Li Yun in shock.

She didn't expect Li Yun to speak so wildly, and these people didn't even dare to refute.

She saw people laughing at Li Yun's words just now, and thought they would embarrass Li Yun, but she didn't expect that.

Dugu Yanjun is not good at trying to figure out other people's thoughts, she thinks this is a very strange thing.

Li Yun picked up a cup of tea, and then slowly said: "Whether a painting is qualified or not, let alone whether it looks like or not, there must be six factors first."

"Qi, rhyme, thinking, scenery, brush, ink."

"The so-called qi is the most basic. You must have the magnanimity of the painting itself, and you must have a style of this painting."

"Whether you want to make a showy painting or a restrained painting, a rough painting or a fine painting."

"The overall style must be consistent. It can't be flamboyant here and mediocre there. That's not good."

"And then rhyme..."

Li Yun's explanation word by word, these painters were a little disapproving at first, but they all nodded after hearing it.

At the back, everyone took notes, no one spoke, everyone looked up at Li Yun.

The same is true for Dugu Hong, with a respectful expression on his face.

Dugu Yanjun looked at Li Yun in a daze, how she wished that she also had this ability.

Li Yun just talked about whether a painting is qualified, and then he talked about whether a painting is good or not.

"For a good pair, in addition to the above six basic requirements, it is also necessary to understand the depth of the object, and to search for ingenuity and create truth."

The depth of the image is to clearly express the characteristics of the painted object. If you want to draw a mighty general, you should focus on painting his "mighty" characteristics.

And Somiao Chuang really means to find interesting places, places that are different from others.

Here it can be the method of expression, or it can be said to express the characteristics of the object.

Li Yun then said that a good painting has four styles: "muscles, flesh, bones, and strength".

That is to say, there must be details, points, lines, surfaces, and the overall momentum.

This is another level of painting.

Li Yun went on to talk about the best paintings, the four grades of "spirituality, wonder, strangeness and ingenuity".

That is to say, painting should be spiritual, interesting, wonderful, and very dexterous, so that it is the best painting.

Then he said something that was not acceptable, "visible disease" and "invisible disease."

The so-called tangible disease refers to the failure to meet the first six basic requirements.

The invisible disease means that the painting has no theme and no power.

After Li Yun finished speaking, everyone was silent.

Undoubtedly, Li Yun has really shown how to appreciate a painting in a systematic way. In the future, when a painting is good or not, these requirements can be brought into it.

The big guy was silent for a quarter of an hour.

Dugu Yanjun raised her heart to her throat nervously, she almost couldn't help wanting to step forward and pull Li Yun away.

But with so many people watching, she dared not go over.

At this time, the others came to their senses, applauded one after another, and then stood up to salute.

"Master Tang is right, this junior admires it."

Because Li Yun said his name was Tang Bohu, these people called him Master Tang.

Li Yun smiled.

This is that there is a sequence in hearing the Tao, and the master is the teacher.

"Master Tang, when it comes to painting, how should I learn?"

Someone asked Li Yun about the specific painting elements.

Li Yun said with a smile: "I have two views on this issue."

"One is the rule of sketching. We have to work hard on points and surfaces, so that the painting can appear full and complex, as well as energetic.

Then he directly asked for a pen and paper, and drew two different paintings.

They are all paintings of rocks, one is a rock with several lines in the middle.

One is still a stone with a raised and sunken place in the middle.

One is the popular painting method with empty hooks and no shuttles, and the other is the painting method with a little face.

The so-called empty hook without shuttle is a very popular line drawing method since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, which is simpler and more empty.

The other is the painting method of the Northern School of later generations, which emphasizes the combination of point and surface.

There is no doubt that the latter is better.

All the painters applauded when they saw it.
