76. Next choice: oil painting
[My name is Xinxinxinxin. I just followed you. You should be able to find it if you look for it.]
[Uh...it's a bit difficult to find, I'll search it.]
【I just followed, I can find it after searching】
Ang Lee had no choice but to take a screenshot of his phone and send it over.
[Ah??? There are 20,000 fans so soon! I have been playing for so long and only 20,000...] Ran Xin sent a helpless reply, and also accompanied it with a cute emoticon.
Ang Lee had to search according to the name she provided, and finally found one of them that matched what Ran Xin said. She had more than 20,000 fans and was an interior designer with an identity certification. She posted more than a dozen videos, all of which were about decoration. No wonder there were not many fans.
[If you show off your face casually, there shouldn't be so few fans] Ang Lee replied with a smile that in this short video world where appearance is justice, those who are good-looking always have some advantages.
[Tsk, I don’t want to.] Ran Xin’s proud reply.
Ang Lee clicked on the follower and then watched the reply to his video.
"Wow, Chang'an has also entered the Vision! I didn't expect it to be so handsome!"
"From now on, I have changed from a fan of the work to a fan of the appearance!"
"As a fan of "Dragon Clan", I didn't expect that the author was still a singer! I followed him decisively."
"A coincidence, as a song fan, I didn't expect Chang'an to be a writer! I decided to join the army of urging more!"
Ang Lee laughed at the comments one by one. The result he expected happened. Although fans in the two fields visited each other and would not increase his fame, it could bring more fame to his songs and novels.
He had no intention of hiding his identity. For example, when they do artistic work, fame is very important.
He decided to operate his short video account well, because this will be a gathering place for his fans in the future, so as to prepare for the development of the other two fields, namely painting and film and television. In the future, he can shoot his paintings to increase the reputation of his works, and at the same time he can also shoot some short videos to practice his skills.
For example, a short film.
There are a lot of short film materials in his system. If he has the opportunity in the future, he can remake these short films and put them on the Vision platform. The production of short films is simpler than that of movies. Ang Lee believes that as long as he practices a little, he can get started quickly.
Turning off his phone, Ang Lee quickly finished his meal and checked out and walked to the dormitory, planning in his mind what to do next.
He has two choices, one is to make short films and the other is to draw.
If we compare these two, short videos should be ranked first, because the Vision platform is mainly in the form of short videos, and it may be more suitable if we shoot short videos.
But Ang Lee soon gave up on this idea. First of all, the short film requires some professional equipment. More importantly, he does not have the experience and knowledge reserves in this area, so he is completely at the level of a novice.
On the other hand, he has now got some foundation in painting, which is easier to do. In addition, he can also combine his paintings with short videos.
For example, he recorded his own painting process and then edited it into a short video to tell the formation process of a painting. He had seen this style of short video in the past world, which was very impressive.
Moreover, the technology required is not high, and you only need to know how to edit. This is not a difficult task for Ang Lee, because he often uses editing when making music. I believe there should be no problem in making videos.
After thinking about this, Ang Lee made up his attention and decided to study his own paintings in the next time.
While walking out toward his dormitory, Ang Lee immersed his thoughts in the system in his mind.
Which aspect should we start from?
Painting is a major art category, which is divided into many subcategories, and sketching is one of them. Ang Lee's sketching has reached the level of specialization, so today he decided to start trying other types of paintings.
Now there are many types of people in front of him. What Ang Lee is more familiar with are ink paintings, oil paintings, watercolor paintings, others such as prints, comics, murals, silk paintings, etc. Although he knows what it is, he does not have much enthusiasm.
The main reason is that these types of paintings are not large categories.
The market in major categories is relatively broad and there are more people who know it, so Ang Lee of course also first makes a choice among these.
He focused on the three aspects of ink painting, oil painting and watercolor painting.
Ang Lee is still quite familiar with these three types. First of all, ink painting is mainly Chinese paintings, while oil paintings and watercolor paintings are mainly Western paintings.
This is the difference from the source.
These three types of paintings are more famous ink painting and oil painting, and the history of watercolor painting is relatively shorter than that.
However, in terms of difficulty, watercolor painting is more difficult than oil painting. This is simply from a technical perspective, and from an artistic perspective, ink painting can express artistic conception more than watercolor paintings and oil paintings.
From this we can infer that oil painting is considered to be the entry-level difficulty coefficient among these three types of paintings, which is relatively low, and is more suitable for Ang Lee's current situation.
Of course, in the end, he must learn all kinds of paintings, but he should start with oil paintings first.
Thinking of this, Ang Lee decisively clicked on the type of oil painting.
An Li was already very clear about how to learn oil painting, because he had a very fierce painting skill, which was the [Painting Way] he came into contact with at the beginning.
[The Way of Painting: The host has all theoretical knowledge of painting skills. Note: This skill does not have proficiency]
It is precisely because of this skill that he started his path of painting and thus improved his sketching to the level of specialization.
Like [The Way of Musical Instruments], who has [The Way of Painting], he only needs to think about it and already know all the theoretical knowledge that oil painting should have, including how to operate some techniques. Although this skill is not proficient, it can let Ang Lee know how to do it and start learning.
Oil painting is a kind of painting that uses vegetable oil to blend pigments to paint on canvas. Because of the special nature of the painting materials, it is not suitable for painting on paper, but is more suitable for fabrics.
There are many things to use when painting oil paintings. There are more than a dozen basic pigments alone, followed by toners, used for diluting pigments and color adjustments. Two different pigments can produce different colors through debugging in various proportions, which requires long-term practice to master them.
Then there are oil brushes and oil knives for painting and auxiliary painting. As for a lot of things like easel palettes, there is no need to mention.
It takes two or three months to renovate the house. Ang Lee naturally couldn't wait for this period. He decided to buy some tools and practice his hands in the dormitory first.
In addition, you can simply draw something to practice your hands. After his oil painting level has improved significantly, he can try to draw some more formal paintings for others to appreciate.
The reason why so many painters are keen on holding art exhibitions is very simple, because the paintings seen with the naked eye and the paintings taken with the lens give people a completely different feeling. Those famous paintings look ordinary on the Internet, but if you look at the real thing with the naked eye, it gives people a strong visual impact.
If you don’t see the real thing, you will not experience the visual shock at all. This is why so many painters are keen on holding art exhibitions.
Ang Lee used to think that the paintings on the Internet were not very good, but why could they be shot at such a high price? It would be fine if he went to him. But it was not until he participated in an exhibition of a relatively famous painter that he knew how ridiculous this idea was.
