Chapter 228 Two Toads and Seven Legs
"Zhang Junping, how did you do it? In such a short time, you can carve such a huge wooden sculpture, and it also contains many micro-carved landscapes." Ye Lirong asked very curiously.
The real essence of the giant woodcarvings made by Zhang Junping is not huge, but tiny.
Among the huge wood carvings, the ones who see kung fu are two-centimeter pedestrians. Every pedestrian, when viewed with a magnifying glass, is a fresh life. Not only the facial expressions, but also the shape of the faces are different. Even the height, short, fat, thin, The clothes on the body are also different.
Although the colors of this era are still dominated by white, navy blue and army green, there are many more colors besides the main theme.
For example, for some girls who love beauty, their clothes appear in various colors such as red, yellow, blue and green.
It's a pity that woodcarving cannot show color changes due to the limitation of its own wood color.
But it doesn't prevent Zhang Junping from using clothing styles and the labels on the chests of various factories to show their differences.
However, if you can't show the color, it is not perfect after all.
Of course, there is no way to make up for it. You can use the lacquer technique to color the carved figures and landscapes.
It's a pity that this involves Zhang Junping's shortcomings. Although his lacquer painting skills are not bad, it is definitely not up to the level of proficiency. Forcing coloring will only be superfluous.
However, the imperfections in Zhang Junping's heart did not exist in the eyes of everyone. They were all incomparably amazed, their eyes were shining brightly, and they wished they could lie down on the wood carvings and study them carefully.
The carving skills are simply amazing, and the characters only two centimeters in length are lifelike. This is not the soft wood like boxwood, which is specially used for carving, but the hard Hainan huanghuali.
It is the reason why everyone is amazed and obsessed with being able to carve hardwood so meticulously and vividly.
"Sister Ye, the trick is what you taught me before. Art comes from life. Observe life more and accumulate more."
"That's it?" Ye Lirong was not too big but her eyes were fixed on Zhang Junping.
Ye Lirong couldn't believe it to death. If she could become an artist and carve master-level woodcarvings just by observing life, then the artist and master-level woodcarver would be worthless.
Observing life is just the most basic homework. For all students who study painting and sculpture, the first lesson taught by the teacher is observation.
Regarding Ye Lirong's doubts, Zhang Junping could only spread his hands, "Sister Ye doesn't believe me, there is nothing I can do. If you insist on saying yes, then the only thing left is to study hard."
Ye Lirong gave Zhang Junping a supercilious stare. If he studies hard, he can do it. There are more people in the school who are more diligent than Zhang Junping. Why don't you see them creating giant woodcarvings, why don't you see them exhibiting the works of young painters in Jigu Pavilion? gold medal?
Not to mention others, Ye Lirong asked herself, even a graduate who started working harder than Zhang Junping.
"Or is it because of his extraordinary talent?" Zhang Junping scratched his head and smiled.
Ye Lirong nodded approvingly, "Your talent is really good, the best among people I've ever met, work hard, and don't let your talent down!"
"Thank you Ye Xuejie, I will always work hard and definitely live up to your expectations!" Zhang Junping nodded seriously.
"Okay, I will watch you, the day when you reach the pinnacle of art!" Ye Lirong nodded with a smile, and rubbed Zhang Junping's hair on tiptoe.
Smelling the fragrance of milk on Ye Lirong's body, Zhang Junping blushed a little and protested, "Senior Ye, I'm not a child anymore!"
He was somewhat uncomfortable with Ye Lirong's affection.
"Giggle!
Yes!You are not a child anymore, you have grown taller, and now you can't even touch your head. Seeing Zhang Junping's embarrassment, Ye Lirong laughed happily.
Ye Lirong has always regarded Zhang Junping as her younger brother. Now seeing her younger brother grow up and achieve such excellent results, she is both disappointed and happy.
The reason for the loss is that the younger brother has grown up, which means that he no longer needs his help and love.
Being happy is naturally happy for Zhang Junping's achievements.
There were more and more people in the small square, and from time to time, familiar people would come to say hello and congratulate Zhang Junping.
This made it impossible for Zhang Junping to continue chatting quietly with Ye Lirong.
I could only bid farewell to Ye Lirong, leave school, and ride back to the alley in Dongmi City.
Huang Xue has already returned and is busy cooking.
The old lady sat in the yard and watched Huang Xue busy.
The couple spoke a few words from time to time, plain but very warm.
"Grandma Liu, isn't your apprentice amazing? Is he trying to embarrass you?" Zhang Junping squatted in front of the old lady to show off.
"Well! Not bad, not bad!" The old lady patted Zhang Junping's face with a smile, "I saw your woodcarving work, it is really good, the concept is very good, very far-reaching, the layout is very grand, and the carving is also very fine. However, the craftsmanship is too heavy!"
"Grandma Liu, I'm just a small craftsman, how can I do without craftsmanship!" Zhang Junping didn't care about the old lady's blow, and said with a smile.
Zhang Junping naturally knows the shortcomings of his works. Color is one of them, and craftsmanship is also one of them. There is no way to do this. If he can cover up the craftsmanship, then he will really become a master artist like his master.
"Actually, your skills have already arrived, it's just that you pursue the sense of reality too much, so you are too crafty.
Think about it for yourself, do you really need to carve so many people to reflect the prosperity of Wangfujing?
Remember, one toad has four legs, and two toads have seven legs.
Think it over, boy! The old lady patted Zhang Junping's face again, got up and entered the room.
"A toad has four legs, and two toads have seven legs? What do you mean?" Zhang Junping was taken aback, wondering.
……
"Are you back? I heard from Grandma Liu that your woodcarving works are on public display at school?" Seeing Zhang Junping, Huang Xue showed a happy smile on her face.
"Mmm! Dean Wu and Master insist on holding a public exhibition, so I have no choice but to agree!" Seeing Huang Xue's pretty smiling face, Zhang Junping suddenly became in a better mood, and said a little showy.
No matter how mature and stable a man is, he can't avoid showing off in front of the woman he loves.
"You are amazing! Let's reward you with delicious food today!" Huang Xue said with a bright smile.
"If you want to reward me, let's wait until night!" Zhang Junping looked at the old lady like that, seeing that she didn't pay attention, he raised his eyebrows and whispered to Huang Xue.
"Bah! I'm not in shape, I've been thinking about this all day long!" Huang Xueqiao blushed slightly.
Although they have lived together with Zhang Junping for several months, Huang Xue can't help but blush when talking about those things.
"Who made you so beautiful! Your body is soft and fragrant, it's not normal if you don't think about it." Zhang Junping laughed softly.
