The sudden high temperature in these two days has completely roasted the people of Jinan. Under the 38-degree high temperature, a group of literary and artistic young people who love painting walked out of the air-conditioned room and braved the scorching sun to come to Yingyuan Garden on the shore of Changqing Lake to sketch on the ground, and innovatively restored the classic work of oil painting master Monet - "Lunch on the Grass".
Among them are college graduate entrepreneurs, there are experienced financial trendsetters, there are also full-time mothers with families and mouths, usually focus on their own careers, running for their livelihood, but because of the love of painting in their hearts, the yearning and pursuit of life aesthetics, they get together this weekend, regardless of the scorching sun overhead, regardless of sweat, insist on painting for nearly three hours on the spot, depicting the most beautiful picture in their hearts.
Bamboo baskets, fruits, wildflowers, red wine, all kinds of delicious pastries... Literary and artistic young people either sit comfortably on the ground, or leisurely laugh and frolic, on the grass by the shore of Changqing Lake, the breeze gently sweeps the willow branches, and a group of literary and artistic young people who have never known each other get together because of painting and become friends because of art. They suddenly and innovatively restored the classic oil painting "Lunch on the Grass" by the French painter Monet, paying tribute to the master of art. "This innovative restoration is a more lifelike artistic expression." A photographer who has been practicing for many years commented on this.
The picture shows Monet's classic oil painting representative work "Lunch on the Grass". Monet used impressionist light and shadow techniques to depict gentlemen and ladies idling in the meadow. The painter uses the dark shade of the trees as a background to set off the men, women and food on the white cloth in the foreground, reflecting the holiday lunch of summer leisure.
Liu Yang, a young female painter after 85, is the initiator of this "about midsummer" sketching activity. In 2015, she gave up her job as a high-paid and stable school art teacher, resolutely resigned and started a business, founded Zhizhi Aesthetic Art Space, created a "zero-based oil painting course", and led a group of friends who like to paint but could not draw to use the weekend to learn oil painting. Zero basic oil painting learning, many people feel incredible, how can you complete the beautiful transformation from zero to the whole work in three hours? For zero-based oil painting, Liu Yang has his own unique feelings: "In fact, everyone is an artist, as long as you observe, listen, and feel with your heart, every painting has a soul." ”
In addition to adults from all walks of life, there are also three post-00s children. The picture shows Liu Yang teaching everyone how to frame the scene
He is a professional painter specializing in fine arts, and throughout the sketching process, he sits quietly in the corner and creates quietly. A few strokes, small bridges, ponds, lotus leaves, boulders jump on the paper, quite a bit of professional skills. The picture below is its work
She must be the happiest painter in this sketching journey, a family of three, silently interpreting "companionship is the longest confession of affection". During the painting process, the husband sits on the right and the son sits on the left, and she holds the paintbrush in the middle, with a calm look, and every time she writes, she is quite serious. The mischievous son sometimes chases and plays with his friends next to him, sometimes shouts to draw a few strokes, and completes the beautiful scenery creation in his heart with his mother.
Mr. Dong, a student, loved to draw when he was young, but for various reasons he had to shelve the brush. After 20 years of racing in the financial industry, Mr. Dong wants to regain his paintbrush in his leisure time and fulfill his youthful dream. This sketch, he chose to express the style of quaint villa groups, Zhumen gray tiles, green steps, cornices, Mr. Dong frankly said, "As soon as you enter Yingyuan, you are attracted by the beautiful scenery of this ancient fragrance and ancient charm in front of you, and you can't wait to leave this beauty with a paintbrush." ”
Unlike the crowds who gathered in Yingyuan to shoot the scene, student Li Yanhong was ingenious and chose to sketch on the shore of Changqing Lake. The sky is light and breezy, the distant mountains are looming, the layers of green trees, and the undisturbed water surface, she uses her brush to paint a vast and fresh work. "I love to draw, and there are so many paintings at home that I can't put them down!" Li Yanhong said with a smile. "Patiently and attentively doing what you love will bring a sense of accomplishment that will make you feel incredibly happy and satisfied."
In the selection of sketches, the paintings of the three children became the first place in the "expectations of all". The childish brushstrokes boldly express the vision in the heart, and the bright colors convey the purest innocence. "I love to draw, my paintings are the best." The children's self-confidence is the most beautiful interpretation of this sketch.
In the view of the instructor Liu Yang, art is not a skill, but a transmission of the artist's emotions. "Picasso has been learning from children all his life, pursuing the ability to draw like a child, and it is the color of the moment, that kind of expression, which forms a spiritual resonance with the painter."
"I love the feeling of Monet painting water lilies." In this sketch, she resolutely chose to show the lotus leaves in the pond, pay tribute to the apparitions in the paintings, and pay tribute to Monet's artistic creation. The gaze is the flowing water, and he has become the flower in the dream... In her eyes, the water lilies bloomed in the water, calmly and calmly reaching out to the sky, without disturbance, looking up at the sky carefreely. "Water Lilies" can be said to be a summary of Monet's life's performance of light and color.
In the same landscape, everyone sees different beauty. "You look like a small pavilion in Yingyuan Garden, some students may pay attention to the exquisite handicraft structure such as the angle of the pavilion, fritter rafters, etc., some students want to reflect the meaning of 'near the water and distant mountains have feelings', and some students will choose the surrounding modern buildings for comparison, emphasizing the integration of tradition and modernity, the beauty in each person's heart is different, and the picture presented is even more different." Teacher Liu Yang explained.
"There is no lack of beauty in life, it is not far away, it is all around you. Be an artist in your own life and create an aesthetic life with love. Liu Yang said frankly, "Taking everyone to sketch is also hoping that the students can really have the opportunity to listen to their inner voices about life, nature is our best teacher, teaching nature, and life is the source of art." ”
