Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

Chapter 70: If you can draw, I'll promote you to a full-fledged employee ahead of schedule!

After instructing Li Feng and the others on what they should do, Master Deng went to paint his own porcelain.

After all, Master Deng also had his own things to do, so he couldn't keep his mind on his apprentices all the time.

So this is perfectly normal.

When Master Deng's two apprentices saw him go to work, they visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

For them, as long as Master Deng was doing his work, he basically wouldn't care about the two of them anymore.

As for Li Feng and others, they began to paint Lang Shining's flowers and birds in a new style with great enthusiasm.

Li Feng's ceramic painting skills have now surpassed those of an apprentice, so he is much faster than Han Ming and others in the outlining stage.

Li Feng completed the outlining stage in just one and a half hours.

Because it's winter, the dark paint that Li Feng applied quickly solidified.

Li Feng touched the bright black lines on the porcelain plate with his hand. He could already feel them, and the bright black paint applied was also very firm.

Generally speaking, in cases like Li Feng's, it is necessary to first fire the piece in a kiln to fix the lines, but Li Feng believes that it would be better if the colors could be applied all at once.

You can apply the color directly like that.

Seeing that there was still time, Li Feng took the photos from the other apprentices and began to color them according to the colors in the photos.

At this moment, the other apprentices were all focused on sketching lines and had no time to pay attention to Li Feng, so most of them did not notice him.

At this moment, Master Deng, who had been painting revolutionary porcelain, glanced at Li Feng and wondered why Li Feng was going to get the photos.

However, Master Deng still had work to do, so he didn't pay any attention to Li Feng in the end and continued painting the porcelain plaque.

At this point, Li Feng began using a paint pen to color the porcelain plaque he had painted.

Following the colors in the photo and the transitions between light and dark areas, Li Feng then began to color all of his porcelain slabs.

Li Feng has a great grasp of color; he finished applying the color to the entire ceramic tile in just one hour.

This is also thanks to Li Feng's high level of ceramic painting skills.

Li Feng clearly knows the optimal level of the shadow area, which is why he moves so quickly.

While the other apprentices were still in the sketching stage, Li Feng had already finished drawing the porcelain plaque.

After Li Feng finished painting the porcelain plaque, he couldn't help but wonder if he should show it to Master Deng, since Master Deng had previously said that he should let Master Deng take a look after he finished painting it.

So Li Feng got up from his workstation and walked over to Master Deng, who was painting revolutionary porcelain.

At this moment, Master Deng noticed that the light on his porcelain was blocked, so he looked up and saw Li Feng standing next to him. He frowned and asked Li Feng.

"If you're not going to paint porcelain, what are you doing standing here?"

Li Feng then answered Master Deng directly.

"Master Deng, I have finished painting the porcelain."

When Master Deng heard what Li Feng said, he thought he had misheard, so he couldn't help but ask Li Feng.

"What did you say?".

"Finished drawing?"

Master Deng could hardly believe his ears, so he asked Li Feng again.

However, Li Feng answered in a humble yet assertive manner.

"Yes!".

"I've finished drawing and filled in the colors."

He was even more surprised when Li Feng mentioned that he had finished coloring the paper.

In Master Deng's memory, apprentices would first fire a layer of dark black paint before applying the color, but Li Feng was directly filling in the color on the unfired porcelain.

Has his skill level reached that of a master craftsman?
Then he felt it was somewhat impossible, because in the field of new color, only he could do this.

Generally speaking, only new polychrome porcelain needs to be fired once to fix the color, while famille rose and antique polychrome porcelain do not require this step at all.

Thinking of this, Master Deng immediately got up, ready to go with Li Feng to see how his painting was going.

After all, it's better to see the actual product than to think about it here. Master Deng thought that maybe he had misheard, or maybe not.

So Master Deng followed Li Feng to his workstation.

When Master Deng arrived at Li Feng's workstation, he quickly saw Li Feng's painting of Lang Shining's flowers and birds.

When he saw Li Feng's paintings of flowers and birds, he was quickly captivated.

Master Deng noticed that some of the flowers and birds painted by Li Feng were different from those in the photographs, because Master Deng felt that Li Feng handled the colors better in this painting.

Although they are all the same color, the contrast and detail in the flowers and birds in the painting are better than in the photograph. At this point, Master Deng asked Li Feng with some surprise.

"this".

"Did you draw this?"

Li Feng calmly nodded to Master Deng in response.

"Yes!".

"I drew it."

"Is my drawing acceptable?"

Looking at the porcelain painting by Li Feng, Master Deng could hardly find any fault with it.

He observed that Li Feng's skill level had surpassed that of an apprentice, and most importantly, he believed that Li Feng had now essentially mastered certain new lottery techniques.

This greatly surprised Master Deng.

at this time!

The commotion here also attracted the attention of the other apprentices.

At this time, they had no idea what had happened to Li Feng, although they really wanted to come and see what was going on.

But with Master Deng by Li Feng's side, they didn't dare to come over and see.

So at this moment, they were guessing what had happened to Li Feng.

At this moment!
Master Deng walked to his table, then took the photo he had drawn to Li Feng. He hesitated for a moment, then asked Li Feng a question.

"Can you draw this picture?"

After seeing the photo in Master Deng's hand, Li Feng realized that it was the same photo of the revolutionary porcelain he had seen at the beginning.

The porcelain figure in the photograph is the old farmer with a white headscarf, his face weathered by time, and a wooden stick in his rough right hand.

Looking at the figures above, Li Feng nodded to Master Deng without hesitation and replied.

"I can draw."

When Master Deng heard Li Feng's answer, he was surprised that Li Feng could actually draw the figures in the picture.

This figure is different from ordinary ladies, because the porcelain figure in the photo in Master Deng's hand has a certain realistic style.

So Master Deng asked Li Feng again.

"Can you really draw?"

Li Feng nodded firmly to Master Deng in response.

"I can!"

At this moment, Master Deng took a deep breath and nodded to Li Feng.

"OK!".

"Then draw this character!"

"If you can draw it, I'll promote you to a permanent position ahead of schedule."

When Li Feng heard that Master Deng could help him get promoted ahead of schedule, he was surprised.

He looked at Master Deng with some disbelief.

"Master Deng, can you really help me get promoted ahead of schedule?"

Seeing the disbelieving look in Li Feng's eyes, Master Deng couldn't help but ask Li Feng a question with a stern face.

"Don't you believe me?"

Upon hearing this, Li Feng immediately nodded to Master Deng in response.

"I believe you!"

"I believe you!"

"You're the master craftsman in our factory, how could I not believe you?"

Master Deng said directly.

"Since you believe me, why haven't you drawn it yet?"

Li Feng nodded, and then prepared to start painting the porcelain plaque depicting the peasant theme from the photo in Master Deng's hand.
