The old things I repaired have become fine

Chapter 271 I told you about the composition of Chinese paintings, and you told me that the original owner had seen it hundreds of years ago?!

"You? Help me turn over? No!"

Shen Le was in a state of confusion. It was fine to help with the paper-sticking, since your craftsmanship was assessed by Teacher Zhang to be better than mine.

But how can you, with just a thin thread, turn this painting around?
Have you ever considered pressure?
Aren’t you afraid of damaging the painting?

Before Shen Le finished speaking, the ink thread stretched out, twisted, stretched out, and twisted, circling in the air until it formed the shape of a mosquito coil.

Shen Le even saw that around the ink line, light black ripples were gently fluctuating, connecting the entire "mosquito coil" into a whole.

He tentatively reached out and pressed his hand. In the empty space between the ink lines, and even outside the "mosquito coil", in the corner of a virtual rectangle, he could feel the force of obstruction...

Great job, little Modou, you have developed a new function!

After a while, you will be able to saw wood with the ink line without a saw!

"This little guy is quite intelligent..."

Teacher Zhang was stunned.

Even though he had accepted the premise that "anything in Shen Le's house could be a monster and could help him do things", he still found it incredible when he saw the little ink bucket's performance:

"But, little guy, you can't just hold one side! You have to be able to hold at least two... corners..."

The mosquito coil-shaped ink line began to deform. The outermost circle tightened, bulged, and grew two rabbit ears.

The rabbit's ears were rippling with black, bending inwards, and waving in a cute way...

Clearly, this is saying, "I can hold two corners, and I can do this myself."

Shen Le turned his head silently, covered his face, and didn't want to talk. Teacher Zhang was shaking with laughter beside him:
"Hey, can you turn this painting over? Do you understand the technical points?"

The ink line loosened and twisted, trying to form a handwriting, but unfortunately failed. It shook a few times, and a colorful light flew out of the dressing box next to it, revealing the handwriting:
[Zheng Mo said he had no problem. After such a long time, he must have learned it!]

Shen Le: “…”

So why was I so nervous before?

I studied so seriously and carefully with Teacher Zhang, not daring to miss any details. Why?

To be honest, the spirit of the weapon learned it after watching it for a few days, which is not much different from "even monkeys can learn it". I feel that they are full of malice towards me...

Even so, it was still impossible for Shen Le to let Xiao Modou complete it independently.

First, this was his own job after all, and he didn't think it was right for him to put all the blame on Xiao Modou, and neither did the teacher.
Furthermore, only if he himself participates as much as possible can he mobilize the spirituality of this painting as much as possible and help it revive.

Otherwise, why would he do it himself? Wouldn't it be better to just hand the painting over or ask Teacher Zhang to complete it?

I guess Teacher Zhang is very happy. The energy used by teaching him alone is enough to repair a hundred paintings!
Shen Le's mouth twitched, and he and Xiao Modou each turned Hua Xin over.

It would be good for Xiao Modou to learn how to do this. For things like turning over, he wouldn't need Teacher Zhang's help. He and Xiao Modou (? ) could do it just by themselves!

After turning over, Shen Le, under the guidance of Teacher Zhang, peeled off the plastic wrap on the oil-water paper, then moistened the oil-water paper with a brush, moistened the thin paste underneath, and peeled off the oil-water paper.

While he was working, he complained:
"This fortune paper has gone through so many misfortunes... How many times has it been wet? And yet it's not even uneven. The quality is really good!"

Try changing it to an A4 paper. Rinse it with water, let it dry, then rinse it with water again and let it dry again. The paper will become bumpy and colorful.

It can hold a dish of water directly without the need for a plate!
"Xuan paper has good flexibility." Teacher Zhang has seen this many times and is not moved at all.

While urging Shen Le to use a small brush dipped in water to carefully brush off the paste left on the painting, he refuted:
"Besides, who told you that the center of the painting won't be bumpy? If it wasn't, why would you stick it on the wall before applying the brush and full color?"

Yes, after cleaning this side, you need to turn the painting over again. After turning it over, use a brush dipped in clean water to brush through the back of the painting, and then stick a layer of wet Korean paper on it;
After the Goryeo paper is pasted on, apply 1 cm wide layer of paste on the center of the painting and the four sides of the Goryeo paper, and then paste it on the wall.

Stick it straight, flatten it, and use natural gravity to restore the center of the painting to a flat surface. The flexibility of the wet rice paper can ensure that the center of the painting will not break.

It will take several days for the painting to dry completely. Only when it is completely dry can we start to add color and continue with the brushstrokes. During this time, Teacher Zhang began to intensively train Shen Le:
"Have you finished looking at all the paintings I asked you to look at?"

"Do you have a rough idea of how to pick up the pen?"

"Come on, print out a 1:1 scan of this painting - you can try painting on it first. Once you've finished and I'm satisfied with it, you can start painting directly on it!"

Shen Le started to work honestly. While working, he heard Teacher Zhang sigh:

"You have such great conditions. When we were practicing, it was impossible to have such a good thing! Just take a piece of white paper and roughly copy it, and someone will scan it for you and print it for you!"

There wasn't even a special printer that could print Chinese paintings on rice paper at that time!
On a huge workbench, two printed paintings are placed opposite each other.

Shen Le holds a palette in his left hand and a brush in his right hand. There is also a piece of paper pressed next to the palette, a piece of paper dyed the same color as the painting. There is nothing beside another printed painting, only a paint dish, water, and a palette. At the same time, there is a soft colored light shining gently:

"Yes, that's it." Teacher Zhang walked to the opposite side happily and watched the powder in the paint dish fly up, mix with the water, and fall on the palette.

Pause and paint freely on the canvas, stroke by stroke, lightly and quickly.

On the printed screen, the missing parts and the newly filled-in silk suddenly appeared patches of color and pictures:

"This patch of color is filled very accurately. Very good! Well done!"

"Your pen is a little stiff for this water mark. Don't just keep dragging it over. Imagine the ripples on the water... Don't understand? Wait, I'll show you a video..."

"For this mountain, from near to far, the brushstrokes should fade gradually, and at the farthest point there should be mist and rain, giving the feeling of connecting with the sky... Come, take a look at this painting..."

Around him, colorful lights kept flashing, changing into images and occasionally showing text. It was obvious that he was a diligent and talented cyber student.

I mean, teachers all like students like this...

Shen Le stood in front of his own painting with his head down, coloring it stroke by stroke.

After mixing the color, you cannot paint it immediately. You must first test the color on the drawing paper in the palm of your left hand, then bring the drawing paper close to the painting you want to touch up, and check the colors. Only when they are exactly the same can you paint on the painting.

I adjusted it once, it became darker, I adjusted it again, it became lighter, I adjusted it again, it became more reddish, I adjusted it again, it became more greenish…

"Actually, a lighter color will do." Teacher Zhang had taught Cyber student Lan Zhuang enough, and finally showed great compassion and took the time to teach Shen Le:

"Lighter, apply it once, then again, a few times in a row, and the color will be right. - Wait! Why are you hitting those big holes directly!"

Fill in the small holes first, and as you do so, test the color of the fill-in to see how it will look on the entire picture.

After you have figured out the trick, you can fill in the larger defects with a lighter color than the original one. After it dries, fill in the color again two or three times.

"Look here, you are in a hurry to finish it! You can't finish it in one go. It's not easy for the water color to enter the center of the painting. If it floats on the surface, the color will be dull and dark!"

"Don't just focus on this small part, but keep the whole painting in mind! You need to have a big picture view!"

"If the colors of a painting are different, dry or wet, you need to mix several colors, add or subtract them flexibly, make up for the changes in depth, and change the colors at will, so that the painting can be vivid!"

So difficult...

Shen Le gritted his teeth and painted on the painting stroke by stroke. Just filling in the holes... those places that were originally left blank, or those places where large areas of color were applied, it felt like all his energy was exhausted.

After finishing the painting, when it came time to touch up the brushstrokes, he soon had a conflict of opinion with Teacher Zhang:

"Why is the willow tree on the shore tilted? It conflicts with the painting concept! This willow tree stands out on the shore!"

"The shape of the mountains here is totally wrong! The mountains in Chinese paintings are all in their own way, and suddenly there's a cockscomb shape, or an old man's head shape. This doesn't fit the painting method!"

"There shouldn't be a waterfall here..."

Shen Le had a headache. When it came to the concept of painting, and the landscapes, flowers and birds in traditional Chinese painting, how should they be painted? Even if ten of them were tied together, they would not be able to beat Teacher Zhang's little finger.

He had no choice but to resort to supernatural means:
"Teacher, please wait. I'll ask a friend to come and let you meet him..."

A WeChat message was sent, and soon, the alloy master appeared at the door of the studio. Shen Le leaned close to Teacher Zhang, with the copper piece hidden in the palm of his hand, and had already mobilized the power of treatment:

"Teacher Zhang, don't be scared. This is my friend, the original owner of this painting. He has seen the original appearance of this painting... Old Jin, can you show it to Teacher Zhang?"

"what!!!"

Teacher Zhang screamed. He took a step back and bumped into Shen Le's arm, and almost collapsed:
The man's chubby head suddenly turned into a... lion's head? A bear's head? In short, it was the head of a wild animal!

And it looks a bit like the head of a bronze lion!

"Hello, Mr. Zhang. I am the original owner of this painting." Fortunately, after showing it to the Alloy Master, he turned back into human form and grinned:
"I've seen this painting before. It looks something like this—"

He glanced at the printed manuscript on the table, raised his hand, and a cloud of paint powder flew up and then fell on the drawing paper.

Shen Le explained carefully beside him:
"Teacher Zhang, don't be afraid. Let him show you. He just wants you to know that he is really a monster and can really live so long. So, this is the pattern he has seen. Do you believe it?"
