Chapter 605： horse illustration (2/2)

The layman sees the surface, as long as it looks good, but the expert sees the doorway.

Gradually, some students approached to look at the composition of the horse, and the students who liked painting and calligraphy gradually became excited.

"This is a charcoal painting that has become popular recently, but it is the first time I have seen such a delicate and smooth painting. Look at the lines, fine and powerful, with layers of smudges from shallow to deep, as well as the effect of light and shade. There was a strong conflict, which made the two horses look tall and mighty in an instant, and made the viewers feel a sense of oppression, as if the horses were galloping towards you, ready to come out. Okay, okay, it's wonderful , People without any skill can't draw such paintings at all."

"That's right, this is the best charcoal drawing I've ever seen."

"Really?" There are also students who are not very talented in painting. Hearing this, he asked, "Better than Master Xia from our academy?"

"Although Confucius Xia has high attainments in calligraphy and painting, he has only just begun to study charcoal painting, and he really lacks a little feeling."

"Last time I saw Master Xia throwing paper on the floor, and he seemed very distressed."

Gu Dajiang silently watched them discuss.

After a long time, someone finally came out and asked him, "Brother, you said this was done by a highly skilled painter. I don't know where that painter is. Can you recommend me?"

Gu Dajiang shook his head, "That painter is low-key and inconvenient to see. But if you want to improve your painting skills, there is a way."

"What's the way?" Someone said eagerly at the moment, "I've done a lot of charcoal painting, but it's always not smooth enough, and I don't know what's wrong. Tell me, how can I improve?"

Some people also expressed doubts, "Xiongtai is too full of words. Everyone has different problems. You only have one way, but not everyone can use it."
