Before his painting entered the market, it was given a slightly higher value by the appraisal system. If given time, this painting would definitely be worth millions.
But is this painting really painted by a middle-aged man? Fifty thousand yuan can buy a painting worth half a million yuan. Although many people will ridicule this middle-aged man as an unknown person and feel that This painting will not be of much value, but the value of paintings is not all based on fame. If a person's painting level is extremely high, then the paintings he paints will naturally be recognized by the market.
And most of the people at the scene are just ordinary collectors. In other words, they are just watching the excitement and don’t know much about the paintings at all.
at this time. Chen Yi was full of doubts in his heart. Could this middle-aged man really just use a painting by someone else to deceive him? After all, using 50,000 yuan to sell a painting worth 500,000 yuan to others is simply a scam. Such idiotic behavior.
Moreover, the paintings must be approved by the middle-aged man, then the middle-aged man has complete control over the initiative. Whether he approves or not, he can just say a word, and there is only a purchase limit of five paintings per day. Chen Yi couldn't help but shake his head and smile.
In other words, this middle-aged man uses this painting as bait to get some people to take the bait and earn some money. Then a word of disapproval can solve all the problems. But in this case, if he meets a master painter, this middle-aged man will How to treat people? Chen Yi's heart was full of doubts.
"Brother Chen, what do you think? I feel like a liar." At this time, Jiang Wei on the side listened to the whole process and said to Chen Yi with a smile.
Chen Yi recalled the characteristics of this painting. It was hard to come to a conclusion for a moment, looking at the middle-aged man. Suddenly an idea flashed through him, and he shook his head and smiled. He actually forgot about the method of confirming whether the painting was made by a middle-aged man in such a simple way. As he said that, he used a preliminary identification technique on the middle-aged man.
"The biological identification was successful, the information is as follows, name: Huang Hexuan. Nickname: Hexuan Mountain Man, biological category: Mammals."
"Biological characteristics: relatively confident, indifferent to fame and fortune."
“Biological defect: Paranoid personality, often doing things that are difficult to understand.”
This is the identification information of the middle-aged man. Chen Yi's eyes widened. Based on the characteristics and flaws of this middle-aged man, he was afraid that this matter was true. As long as he recognized it, the middle-aged man would sell him worth fifty thousand yuan for 50,000 yuan. Ten thousand level paintings.
Hexuanshan people seem to really live in the mountains. Chen Yi shook his head and smiled. Just like his flaws, what he did now is indeed incomprehensible, but at least he confirmed that the middle-aged man was not a liar and that the painting was worth half a million. That's exactly what it does.
"Brother Chen, what's wrong? Do you think this is true?" Seeing Chen Yi staring at the middle-aged man, Jiang Wei couldn't help but asked with some doubts.
Chen Yi did not answer, but looked at Jiang Wei and said: "Brother Jiang, whether it is true or false, we can't say yet. Let's watch here for a while. Antiques City is a mixed bag of fish and dragons. There are ordinary fish, and there will naturally be some." A dragon with outstanding abilities, then when others get the recognition of this middle-aged man, we will know the truth at a glance. "
"Will anyone really get his approval? I have some doubts." Jiang Wei couldn't help but shook his head, never feeling that this would be true.
"Brother Jiang, we are not in a hurry to appraise things anyway. We finally encountered something interesting in the antique city. It doesn't hurt to stay a little longer." Chen Yi said with a smile, thinking that he would stay and watch whether others could get this. The recognition of young people is more meaningful than appraising the fan bone.
Jiang Wei nodded, doubtful. He was also somewhat interested in what the middle-aged man was doing.
After a while, three people walked out and bought a brush for thirty yuan. Then each stood in front of a drawing board, looking at the eyeless thrush on the drawing paper in front of them. Some of them started writing instantly. Some pondered for a while.
Chen Yi looked at this scene with a calm expression. After learning painting, he knew very well that it was more difficult to paint a painting than to paint a painting.
It must complement the original painting, as if it is integrated with the original painting, so that no one can see the flaws. And as the saying goes, eyes are the windows to the soul. Human eyes and animal eyes all represent their respective personalities.
Some animals’ eyes are full of murderous intent, such as wild tigers and lions, etc., but some animals’ eyes are full of cuteness, such as giant pandas.
Without the eyes, this simple painting is like a waste product without any ornamental value. This is enough to show that the eyes are the most critical part of the painting, the finishing touch, and?It's so easy. Pen strength, painting skills, and control ability are all indispensable. Otherwise, the drawn eyes will definitely be incompatible with the things in the painting.
How to draw the eyes makes the bird full of life and makes this lifeless painting full of life. This is the most important thing.
However, after these three people finished drawing, Chen Yi thought that they had failed. Although the eyes drawn by one of them were good, they did not give the bird life, while the other two were just plain sluggish. To join in the fun, one person even drew two eyes of different sizes, which was simply ridiculous.
This is just a bird. If it were replaced by a dragon, it would probably be even more difficult. To add the finishing touch, birds are still a real thing, but dragons are only in legends, and there is no way to start. If the eyes are highlighted, If the dragon cannot be filled with momentum and a legendary fairy aura, it will simply be a failure.
This is also the reason why many painters rarely paint dragons. After all, paintings are derived from reality, and dragons only exist in legends. Only a few painters who are unconventional and pursue the ultimate will paint dragons.
As he thought, these three people naturally failed. In order to convince others, the middle-aged man also brought the painting closer and commented on it. Apart from tourists, the people who came to the antique city were collectors with some knowledge. Home.
They naturally saw that the eyes in these three paintings were very poor in two of them. They were just different sizes. In one of the paintings, the two eyes were looking in different directions. A beautiful thrush was forcedly painted. Eyes crossed, many people couldn't help laughing when they saw this painting. Their disdain for this middle-aged man was reduced. At least this middle-aged man brought a lot of joy to their boring life. .
Next, several more people failed. The eyes they drew were different. Bursts of laughter spread from here, attracting more people. At the same time, everyone knew that their seemingly simple eye-touching was actually It's very difficult.
More than ten people went up to paint, but they all failed without exception. It seemed that the middle-aged man had prepared many hand-painted paintings. With this simple meticulous painting, for a person with strong brushwork, there is no need at all. It takes too long to draw, but it takes a lot of control for a middle-aged man like this to make every painting look the same.
At this time, an old man smiled and walked up, "Is what you said true? As long as the painting is approved by you, can I buy a painting of the same level as the painting you hung for 50,000 yuan? "
"Of course you can. No matter who it is, as long as the eyes it points out reach half the level of my painting, they can let me make a painting for them, or they can buy a painting of the same level as the painting next to me for 50,000 yuan. Painting." Huang Hexuan said calmly after hearing the old man's words.
"What if you lie to me?" The old man thought this middle-aged man was very interesting, so he blinked and said.
Huang Hexuan smiled faintly, "Don't worry, I, Huang Hexuan, am upright and upright in my conduct and work. How could I do such a disgraceful thing."
"Okay, then I will believe you once and give you thirty yuan." The old man nodded and said in a solemn voice, then took out thirty yuan from his pocket, handed it to Huang Hexuan, and then took it casually from the table. A brush, "A fine brush with fine wolf hair. It's a good thing for drawing eyes."
After that, the old man came to one of the drawing boards, looked at the painting for a few times, and then directly dipped in ink to add eyes. The whole process took no more than two minutes. "In ancient times, there was painting of dragons and the painting of eyes, and today there is painting of birds and eyes. That's right. good."
Before Huang Hexuan could come over, the old man took the painting over after the ink had dried.
Everyone looked at the drawing paper in the old man's hand with some anticipation. They didn't know whether this imposing old man would succeed. After all, this old man showed a strong confidence.
At first glance, everyone was a little surprised. The eyes in this painting were completely different from the previous paintings. Not to mention the painting of bean-chicken eyes that made the thrush crippled, let’s talk about other things. The eyes on the bird do not show the slightest agility, but the bird in this painting is full of agility. Compared with the other birds on the painting board that have no eyes, they are simply very vivid.
The moment he saw his eyes, Chen Yi nodded. This old man's painting skills were very good. Judging from the finishing touches alone, he was already much better than Huang Hexuan.
Looking at this painting, Chen Yi couldn't help but use the appraisal technique. He didn't know what information would appear in the appraisal system for the paintings made by the two before and after. This was very helpful for him to understand the appraisal system.
"Item identification was successful, the information is as follows, item name: thrush picture, production year: five days ago, original author: Huang Hexuan, pointer: nodetailed. "
"Artistic characteristics: The author lacks information and is judged solely on this painting. This painting is a meticulous painting of flowers and birds, with very fine line outlines and very skilled coloring techniques. It was painted by two people. The person who made the finishing touches was slightly more skillful than Huang Hexuan. The dead-like thrush becomes lifelike. Although the finishing touch is only two strokes, it requires extremely high skills on the part of the author. "
“The painting is worth eighty-five points for the original painting and eighty-nine points for the finishing touch.”
