Then the crowd saw Su Jing and froze, some girls screamed, some talked a lot, and made a lot of noise. Su Jing is after all a celebrity and has been very popular lately, and many people present recognized him at a glance.
“Dad, let me introduce someone to you, this is Su Jing.” Cheng Shiyao said.
“Hello, Teacher Cheng.” Su Jing said politely.
“Hello Mr. Su, please sit down.” Cheng Guyi smiled as he also recognize Su Jing, but he did not treat him politely just because he was a celebrity and he just treated him like he would treat any other student.
After sitting down and waiting for time, Cheng Guyi began his lecture. There were many people taking notes with pens, but Su Jing certainly didn’t use them. He could remember them completely once he listened to them.
As a matter of fact, before he came, he had read the information on the Internet and already remembered it. However, the information on the Internet was too disorganized and disunified, and he didn’t know if some of the information were correct or not.
Listening to Cheng Guyi now is equivalent to verifying the information he had read up and reorganizing them in his memory.
However, what makes him unsatisfied is that Cheng Guyi’s course is obviously halfway through and he is not starting from scratch, so his progress is a bit slower, which is convenient for ordinary people to learn, but for Su Jing, it is a bit of a waste of time.
After the lecture, Cheng Guyi stopped and asked the others to draw by themselves. Cheng Shiyao, Huang Jinghong, Zhu Yan, and the others all took out their tools and began to draw.
Su Jing however approached Cheng Guyi and asked him some questions. Cheng Guyi was afraid of disturbing others, so he called Su Jing out and patiently answered Su Jing’s questions.
Su Jing asked one question after another. In the beginning, Cheng Guyi wanted to say that Su Jing had just started learning, so he doesn’t need to worry about it as he wouldn’t be able to remember too many answers to the questions he had asked at once.
But to his horror, Su Jing could remember all the answers he had answered and dig out the deep meaning behind his words. This ability to memorize and understand was absolutely appalling.
Cheng Guyi tried to speed up his speech and speak more concisely, but Su Jing remembered every minute of his speech and he noted down every answer in his memory.
Then, Cheng Guyi gave Su Jing a teaching video. In the video, Cheng Guyi was drawing and explaining the process at the same time. Su Jing watched the whole video with an intense look in his eyes.
Then, Su Jing returned to his seat, took out tools such as pen, ink, paper, inkstone, etc., and began to draw. He was just painting casually, and he doesn’t deliberately paint a thing.
He may draw a corner of the table and not continue to draw it, he drew a flower petal and left it half-finished, he drew half a fruit and just left it as it is and didn’t draw the full picture of the fruit…
He was learning the basic skills of ink painting. Cheng Guyi stood behind him and looked at him. The more he looked, the more shocked he became.
The other students finished their paintings one after another and observed each other’s paintings.
Some drew well, and those who drew everything in disorder. Cheng Shiyao and Huang Jing Hong drew extremely well and were considered the top students in this group of students.
Naturally, they attracted the admiration and praise of several students. Huang Jinghong smiled and was quite proud of himself.
Cheng Shiyao likes Chinese painting, and Cheng Guyi has a profession in Chinese painting so he excelled in this area so that he could earn some brownie points with the father of the girl he was chasing.
However, they found that Cheng Guyi did not come to see their paintings, to comment and give pointers as usual, but stood behind Su Jing, motionless, with a shocked expression on his face.
They couldn’t help being very curious, and they walked over one after another. Cheng Shiyao, Huang Jinghong, and Zhu Yan also walked over.
When they walked behind Su Jing and saw what Su Jing was drawing, they were stunned for a while, and then they almost screamed in surprise.
…
At first glance, Su Jing’s painting looked like he had drawn everything in disorder and it seem to be a pile of rubbish.
He painted one thing before and then he began to paint another in the next second, and all of them are only part of some things and they are all clustered together. However, after taking a closer look at Su Jing’s painting, everyone was surprised.
It was obvious that Su Jing was not deliberately trying to paint something, but was learning various techniques.
The technique of Chinese painting can be understood as the method by which Chinese painters use the brush, that is, the technique of using brush and ink produced by the brush.
In the middle of ink technique(s) includes the technique of color. During the development of Chinese painting, especially after the Yuan Dynasty (with the intervention of literati painters), the lyrical meaning of Chinese painting became stronger and stronger.
The meaning of brush and ink in Chinese painting is no longer simply a matter of technique, but a synonym for Chinese painting. The spirit of Chinese painting is permeated in its view of brush and ink.
To put it simply, the brushwork of Chinese painting is composed of points, lines, and surfaces, and the use of lines is the most important. The ink method, which is the use of water, produces different variations of intensity, lightness, dryness, wetness, depth, and shallowness.
The method of writing lines in Chinese painting is called “Brushwork”, and the method of using ink in Chinese painting is called “Inking”. Both the use of brush and the use of ink are so profound and all-encompassing that they can be divided into many different kinds.
For example, the brush can be divided into the center and the side. The center brush should be used with a straight stroke, with the stroke in the middle of the ink line, and the force of the brush should be even, with the stroke perpendicular to the surface of the paper, and the effect should be round and stable.
The side edge uses the brush in which the painter has to hold the brush on the side, with the brush edge at the edge of the ink line, the brush edge forms a certain angle with the paper surface while the force remains uneven.
The force of the brush is sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes light, sometimes heavy, and the effect is rich in color and astringent changes.
