Chapter 700 Sketch
As the saying goes, what is rare is more expensive.
None of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy has been handed down to later generations, and most of the handed down are copied from the Tang and Song Dynasties.
If one day an authentic painting by Wang Xizhi comes out, even a single character will be a priceless treasure.
And are there paintings by Li Lizhi in later generations?
No, like Wang Xizhi, there is not even one. Wang Xizhi still has a copied version, and Li Lizhi's paintings don't even have a copied version.
Of course, Li Lizhi is far behind Wang Xizhi, but does it matter?
Not important at all.
Celebrity effects can also increase the value of painting and calligraphy.
Lin Xuan remembered reading a news in his previous life, saying that there were only two pieces of the same Yuan blue and white in an auction, and after the buyer bought it, he smashed one on the spot.
At that time, many people thought he was crazy. However, there were originally two pieces. After one was smashed, there was only one piece in the world. The remaining one was more expensive than the sum of the previous two pieces. .
Lin Xuan couldn't tell the difference between good and bad Li Lizhi's paintings, but history said that Li Lizhi was good at Danqing, and it wouldn't be that bad. In addition, Li Lizhi's celebrity effect, if it can be passed down, it can really be regarded as a family heirloom.
Li Lizhi didn't take it seriously, she felt that Lin Xuan was trying to make her happy, and she blushed slightly, feeling very embarrassed.
Lin Xuan thought of the proficiency in painting that he had rewarded, and felt a little itchy, and said, "My lady, why don't I draw a picture."
Li Li smiled and said: "Okay, I also want to see how my husband's painting skills are."
After Li Lizhi got out of the way, Lin Xuan came to the table and began to think with a pen.
After a while, Lin Xuan put down his pen and said, "Zi Yi, bring me a new ink ingot."
"Yes." Zi Yi replied, and took another unused ink ingot.
"Husband, what are you?" Li Lizhi asked with some doubts.
Lin Xuan said mysteriously: "You will know later."
After speaking, Lin Xuan took the ink ingot and left the study.
When he came to the rockery in the yard, Lin Xuan took the ink ingot and began to grind it on the stone.
Seeing the little friends here, I probably guessed what Lin Xuan was going to do.
That's right, Lin Xuan is going to draw a sketch.
Sketch is a painting method that uses a relatively single color to express objects with the help of changes in brightness.
Sketching can be said to be the foundation of painting in later generations, and people who learn to paint cannot avoid sketching.
But in the Tang Dynasty, there was no such painting style as sketching.
Lin Xuan knows how to draw in ancient times, but it takes too much time.
It takes about an hour to draw and color.
The sketch is relatively speaking, it will be much simpler.
Ancient ink ingots were very hard. Lin Xuan had read about ink ingots in his previous life, and some ink ingots were even as hard as iron stone.
Of course, Lin Xuan has never seen it, but the ink ingot in his hand is indeed relatively hard, definitely not comparable to stone and iron, but much better than charcoal.
When the grind was almost done, Lin Xuan stopped to have a look, and then grinded again, feeling that it was almost done, before returning to the study.
Li Lizhi was puzzled by Lin Xuan's behavior, but she didn't ask any further questions.
Lin Xuan smiled, came to the table, picked up the polished ink ingot, and began to draw.
It didn't take long for the appearance of a woman to appear vividly on the paper.
"Princess!"
Zi Yi looked at the person on the paper, then at Li Lizhi, his eyes were full of horror.
If Li Lizhi was not right in front of her eyes, she would have thought that someone had cast a spell on Li Lizhi and got Li Lizhi into the paper.
Li Lizhi was also a little shocked, and Ziyi's exclamation brought her back to her senses.
Li Lizhi glanced at Ziyi majestically, then continued to watch Lin Xuan paint.
This is the first time she has seen this kind of painting.
Ancient paintings paid attention to the mind, and the painters paid attention to the spirit.
In Lin Xuan's painting, she doesn't have a spirit, but she is so similar, as if she was carved on paper.
Lin Xuan painted a bust, and it didn't take long to finish it.
Lin Xuan stopped writing and looked at it, and filled in some places where the color was lacking, and said with a smile: "My lady, let's see how it goes."
Li Lizhi looked at it carefully, and said with some admiration: "This is the first time I have seen my husband's painting method. My husband's painting is not full of spirit. It should be said that it is a failure, but the characters in the painting But it is exactly the same as a real person, and it completely makes up for the lack of gods. If my husband can create a new font and a new painting method, he will definitely be famous in history."
Lin Xuan blushed a little from the praise. If it weren't for the system, let alone brush calligraphy, even if he used the pen of later generations, his calligraphy would be the same as a dog crawling, let alone sketching.
He could only draw a stick figure at best.
But when Lin Xuan thought that no one could expose him anyway, he accepted it with peace of mind.
"Does the lady like it?" Lin Xuan asked with a smile.
"I like it very much. It's a pity that I drew it directly with ink ingots, so it's not very easy to preserve." Li Lizhi said with some regret.
Most of the paintings handed down from the early Tang Dynasty to later generations were made on silk. Although the paper in the early Tang Dynasty was not as good as the later generations, the more important thing is that silk can absorb ink better and preserve it better.
However, ink stick paintings will fade over time and are difficult to preserve.
"It's okay, if my wife likes it, I can draw it for you at any time." Lin Xuan said.
"No, I just like this one. When I turn around, I will take the painting to the palace and find someone to deal with it. It will be convenient for preservation." Li Lizhi said.
This is the first time Lin Xuan paints for her, and the painting is still her, which has a special meaning.
Lin Xuan didn't ask how to deal with it. Those ancient paintings have been handed down for hundreds of thousands of years and are still intact, which shows that there are already good ways to deal with them in ancient times.
Li Lizhi put away the painting carefully, and told Ziyi to look after it.
Lin Xuan found it funny when he saw this scene, and Li Lizhi treated that sketch just like he treated Li Lizhi's painting just now, and regarded it as a treasure.
Li Lizhi has been recorded in history. Her paintings are treasures handed down to later generations. What is the use of keeping her own paintings?
No, Lin Xuan suddenly realized that Li Lizhi was a person recorded in history, and if he married her, history would definitely record him in the future.
The sketch was originally discovered and perfected by Western countries around the 15th century. If his painting can be preserved forever, wouldn't he become the originator of the sketch painting method.
At that time, this painting might be worth more than Yan Liben's painting.
Thinking of this, Lin Xuan asked Li Lizhi to take out the painting, and wrote his name on it with a pen.
He is definitely not for fame, but to leave evidence that the sketch was invented by the Chinese.
Well, I can't make it up anymore, Lin Xuan is just a layman, and he signed it just to keep his name.
If the "Lin Xuan" of later generations sees his name at that time, I don't know how they will feel.
"Princess and son-in-law, Zhao Guogong's mansion sent someone to send an invitation to invite the princess and son-in-law to Zhao Guogong's mansion for a banquet at noon tomorrow." Tsing Yi walked in and said.
Lin Xuan put down his pen, took a look at the invitation, it only said that he and Li Lizhi were invited to the banquet at noon tomorrow, and nothing else was mentioned.
"You all go down." Lin Xuan said.
After Tsing Yi and Zi Yi left, Lin Xuan handed the invitation to Li Lizhi and said, "Ma'am, you said that the eldest grandson has no... well, what did Duke Zhao suddenly invite us to?"
He was used to being called by his first name, but thinking that Changsun Wuji was Li Lizhi's uncle, it was not very good to be called by his first name, so he quickly changed his words.
"It didn't say anything on the invitation, and I can't guess it myself." Li Lizhi shook her head and said.
