Chapter 50 Sketches

Princess Changle suddenly failed to adapt to Li Yuanai's rich spirit. She was stunned for a moment and smiled and said, "The other courtyard was bought by my uncle for my husband. Whether to sell it will have to make up his mind. Uncle Sixteenth is waiting for a while, and he should be back soon."

Li Yuanai said "good", and then fell silent, not knowing what to say.

Princess Changle's eyes fell on the design drawing and said, "What kind of painting method is used in this picture of Uncle Sixteen? Changle has never seen it before..."

Only then did Li Yuanai remember that Princess Changle had extremely high attainments in painting.

To be precise, the entire Li Tang royal family was a fan of calligraphy and painting.

Of course, the possibility of boasting is not ruled out.

After all, I have never done anything big in my life, and it is not easy to write epitaphs or anything else. If you add a few sentences of calligraphy and painting, you can also have more cards.

However, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun did have this talent. Putting aside the Turkic style, Li Chengqian was good at cursive script and official script. Li Tai was a well-known writer in the world. In addition to cursive script, mobile script and official script, his younger brother Li Zhi was also good at flying white style like his father. His younger sister Li Mingda also wrote very well, and he could reach a level that could not be argued with his father Li Shimin's flying white style.

As for Princess Changle who studied painting with Yan Liben since she was a child, her painting techniques were extremely exquisite. In history, she was compared with female calligraphers and painters such as Wu Cailuan, Hu Huizhai, Zhang Miaojing, Zhu Shuzhen, and Guan Daosheng.

Only then did Li Yuanai realize that he used sketches when drawing design drawings.

There were no pencils in this era, he painted it bit by bit with charcoal.

Those who do this job still have basic drawing skills.

Although in his time, he had already tended to operate computers, he learned sketching specifically when he was in school.

"This is a simple drawing method for convenience, which can be called sketch. Compared with the technique of painting, sketching pays more attention to reality and expresses the shape, structure, dynamics and spatial relationships of things."

Li Yuanai gave a brief introduction.

Princess Changle was excited and asked: "What is realistic, what is form, structure, dynamic, and spatial relationship?"

Li Yuanai said: "Realism is paintings that do not mix with any artistic processing. As for shape, structure, dynamics, and spatial relationships, it can be referred to as three-dimensional sense. Look at the pavilion I painted, it is an ordinary flat paper. I simply painted the shadow part and looked like standing on paper. If I don't draw the shadow surface, it will be like a dead object, and it will be alive after drawing. Anything that can be drawn on paper is the same. As long as I can draw three-dimensional sense, I can draw it alive."

Sketching is the foundation and introduction to painting in later generations. Ninety-nine percent of those who begin to learn painting in later generations learn sketching first.

It is both simple and profound.

It is easy to learn, but it is extremely difficult to learn.

Li Yuanai learned sketching just to write quickly and make it easier to draw design drawings by himself, so he was not proficient.

But it is more than enough to give guidance to Princess Changle who has never been exposed to such a kind of princess.

Just as Changsun Chong had not returned yet, Li Yuanai talked about the basics of sketching to Princess Changle: "The Prime Minister of Sketching has to use a hard pen to draw. Of course, the best one should be a pencil, but there are not many such things at present, and they are generally mainly carbon pens."

This pencil is not a pencil from later generations.

It would be a big mistake to regard the brush as the only writing instrument in ancient times. Since ancient times, China has inherited the hard pen.

The disadvantages of brushes are obviously slow to write and are inconvenient to record, so there is also a saying of hard pen calligraphy, which is used to quickly write or carry with you, and to record events and objects when inspired. A bamboo cone pen appeared in the Han Dynasty, similar to the Western pen that was dipped in ink.

The pencils in Li Yuanai's mouth are pens made of colored ores similar to lead blocks, not pencils made of graphite and clay in later generations.

Li Yuanai came to the hall and removed the potted plants in the furnishings and said in detail: "Just like this potted plants, the place you can see in your sight is the front, and the one you can't see is the dark side. The things on this front are easy to draw, and the key to sketching is to draw the dark side through various ways. In this way, combined with the frontal painting, there will be a sense of layering and three-dimensionality."

He didn't know if this explanation was correct or not, nor whether it was reasonable or not, nor did he know whether Princess Changle understood it. He could only remove some special words from later generations and say it bluntly.

Princess Changle seems to understand but not understand. The reason is simple and only the key points are understood.

Just as they were engrossed in the sketching chat, a gentle young man walked into the hall.

"I've met the Shang King, Princess!"

The young man was only in his early twenties and dressed in brocade blue clothes. He was completely dressed as a scholar of this era. There was nothing worth mentioning, and it was simple and unpretentious.

The person who came was Changsun Wuji's eldest son Changsun Chong.

Li Yuanai hurriedly stood up and returned the gift.

Changsun Chong gave Li Yuanai a great first impression. As the eldest son of the first important minister of the Tang Dynasty, the noble son who had no qualities in front of him were polite and polite, which made people feel close.

"I heard that the palace is down, so I can't wait to meet you."

"Young Master Zong Zheng is polite!" Li Yuanai said: "Young Master is here at the right time. I have something to ask for."

The maid next to Princess Changle walked over and took the coat from Changsun Chong.

Changsun Chong invited Li Yuanai to take his seat and sat in the upper head.

Li Yuanai looked at the two people sitting on the top of the head, and suddenly felt strange in her heart.

I didn't think it was outside the hall before, but now the two of them are sitting together.

That feels very strange...

Changsun Chong has a normal figure, and he uses the algorithms of later generations to be about 1.7 meters tall, which is similar to Li Yuanai's previous life.

There was a strange phenomenon in ancient times. Those who were tall were particularly tall, and those who were short were particularly short, but their average height was not high.

Changsun Chong is not short, but he has a wife with only one meter-long legs and one meter-long body.

The two of them sat in the same place, which was really annoying.
