Wu Dalang was already immersed in paintings, and did not find the few people watching around him, and was already stunned.

What he is painting now is a fine-brushed portrait, but it is not the hyperrealistic style he specialized in later generations, but the almost perfect combination of the realistic style he mastered in both lives and the "Wu Family Style" (Wu Zongyuan's painting style and brushwork are both learned by Wu Daozi).

In the realistic, there is a bit of a sense of being out of ordinary style, while the drunken Arhat in the painting is vivid and charming. This seven-point realistic and three-point freehand style is quite consistent with his current half-drunk and half-awake and his state of mind that has been in a dream these days. He involuntarily integrated himself into the painting.

In his previous life, more than ten years of systematic and scientific painting training and some talent, although Wu Haogu failed to become a master of painting skills, he was still very good at mastering painting skills. If he had been practicing hard for more than ten years in this life, Wu Dalang's mastery of realistic painting skills could be said to have long surpassed Wu Daozi.

After all, Wu Daozi, who lived in the Tang Dynasty, had never studied "structured human body", nor had he studied "painting perspective", "painting composition", and "painting color science". Of course, he was not as good as professional painters more than a thousand years later in realism painting skills.

However, in terms of artistic conception of painting, Wu Dalang is far inferior to those famous masters of the Tang and Song dynasties, and even less than that of painting saint Wu Daozi, "the pen is better than the image, the backbone is higher, and the tree does not speak of the picture, and he also hates no ink."

To put it simply, his style of painting is too much for details. Especially when creating oil paintings, he carefully strokes and strokes, trying to move the pictures he sees to the canvas exactly. The people or objects he painted seem to be brought from the photos, but they are less interesting.

After his soul passed through the Song Dynasty, he moved this style to fine brushwork, and created the "super realistic fine brushwork painting" nine hundred years in advance. He is a master of his generation, but he lacks the elegant and elegant artistic conception of Chinese painting.

But now, the half-drunk and half-awake Wu Dalang suddenly reached a state that he had never touched before.

With a little drunkenness, he seemed to have forgotten the various realistic painting techniques and tips he learned in his previous life and no longer deliberately pursued them. However, the painting skills of later generations, which had been practiced for more than ten years, have long become a habit of painting, and naturally integrated into his "Wu family style" in this life, forming a painting style that was better than Wu.

Every stroke and every stroke is natural, like a god’s help!

Guo Jing, Liu Wuji and Monk Fu, who were watching by the side, were completely attracted by Wu Haogu who was concentrating on his mind.

He originally thought that the "Wu Family Reality" (this is Zhang Zeduan's summary of Wu Hao's ancient painting style) and the "Wu Family Style" were very different and it was difficult to integrate. However, he did not expect that Wu Hao Gu, who was half drunk, could actually bring "Wu Family Style" to the extreme and integrate it with "Wu Family Reality".

When Wu Haogu used a thin line brush to draw a thin line brush (at this time the line brush was not as detailed as later generations) on the draft made by the charcoal strips, and outlined a lifelike "drunk arhat" on the cooked rice paper like a whirlwind. Guo Jing, Liu Wuji and Monk Fu's eyes could not help but narrowed into a slit.

In this painting, the naked upper body and face of the "Arhat" are very three-dimensional and realistic. The details such as muscles, skin, hair, facial features, limbs, head, chest, abdomen, and even palms and fingers are perfectly displayed on the drawing paper, just like a living "Arhat" printed on the painting!

The lower body of the "arahan" was still wearing clothes, but Wu Dalang did not use a completely realistic style to describe it. Instead, he used the "orchid leaf drawing" created by Wu Daozi to express the folds of his clothes, drawing a staggered and staggered "Wu Ding Dang Feng".

If this painting was not made on a mature chant, but on an old silk, and then using Yishuisong smoke ink from the Tang Dynasty, who dares to say that it is not the original work of the Painting Saint?

Even if it is not from the Painting Saint, it must have been painted by a powerful disciple from the Painting Saint. If you can draw such a painting, it is enough to be called the Painting Saint!

Looking at Wu Haogu, who had put down his brush and was stunned in front of the painting he had just completed, Guo Jing and others suddenly felt unfamiliar.

Is he really the Wu Haogu who sells calligraphy and painting on Panlou Street?

Could it be that he was possessed by the Painting Saint...

...

The sun is shining brightly on your body, which is quite comfortable.

The climate in Yuanfu in the third year was relatively cold. Although it was spring and summer, the weather was not hot.

In the ears of Wu Dalang, who was lying high in a monk's room, a bustling sound came faintly.

He opened his eyes and felt the sunshine that shone on himself through an open window.

Wu Haogu stretched out, then stood up and moved his muscles. He looked at the sun hanging high in the sky outside the window, and estimated that it was almost noon. This time, he had been sleeping a little too much. Just as he was about to wash up, he heard a burst of rapid footsteps. Immediately afterwards, the door of the monk's room was pushed open, and Liu Wuji walked in with a scroll.

"Dalang, are you awake?"

When Liu Wuji saw Wu Haogu, he rushed to him excitedly and spread the scroll in his hand, "I just framed it, but unfortunately it was not painted on Chen Jian, otherwise I could take it to East Cross Street at the fifth day of tomorrow."

It turns out that this Taoist Liu is a bit versatile and I don’t know who I have learned some craftsmanship of pasting, but I am not very proficient.

Wu Dalang glanced at him and was stunned by the living drunken arhat on the scroll.

"This..." he thought, but was not sure, "I drew it?"

"Isn't you or who?" Liu Wuji put away the scroll and handed it to Wu Haogu. "If you copy this paper arhat image in pine smoke ink on the old silk and dye it with color, you can install it on the old frame yourself and take it to the ghost market in the East Cross Street, there will always be ten thousand pieces."

The Wu family has been engaged in calligraphy and painting activities for many years, and is very proficient in various methods of making old and counterfeiting, and also has tools and raw materials.

The most common method for making calligraphy and paintings old is dyeing. Dyeing is divided into several major categories such as direct dyeing, dipping dyeing, drawing dyeing and insecting.

Among them, direct dyeing, dipping and dyeing are repeatedly dyed with pigments such as gambola, cyanine, ochre, rouge, and three green. You can also use thick tea or diluted vinegar for dyeing, so that the color of the paper and silk frames turns yellow and look a little gray, which is a bit vicissitudes.

The difference between the three dyeing methods is that the objects are different. Direct dyeing is used to make rice paper old; impregnation is used to make silk old; pulling dyeing is used to make frame old.

The incense is to hang the calligraphy and paintings in a relatively closed room after the calligraphy and painting are made and smoked with incense. After many days of smoke and roasting, the paper and silk cloth will appear a light brown color.

Another method is to dye the back during the painting process, and dye it into an old color by using gammond and ochre.

In addition, you can also place your finished calligraphy and paintings in rice jars or noodles bags with insects, and deliberately let the insects leave traces of biting on them to increase the sense of age of fake paintings.

However, because Wu Haogu has old paintings, old ink (both used for counterfeiting) and old painting paper (silk), Wu Haogu can be more sophisticated in making old paintings. He first uses old silk and old ink to make paintings, and then process them to make old, which is difficult for experts to see through.

However, Wu Haogu was too hasty to make this painting, and he was not ready to sign, print and inscription, so he still lacked it, so he could not be considered very "real".

Therefore, Liu Wuji estimated the price of 10,000 yuan.

Wu Haogu gently stroked the painting he made, showing some love. This painting almost perfectly integrates the realistic skills of later generations with the traditional Wu family style brushwork. In the Northern Song Dynasty, it is definitely a work that can make calligraphy and painting experts crazy!

What made them crazy was not only that this painting might be the original work of Wu Daozi, but also the brushwork used to depict the human body of "Arhat". This brushwork is not only brilliant, but also something they have never seen and seen.

If they want to learn this unknown brushwork, they have to buy the paintings and copy them. There are still some calligraphy and painting masters who can afford to make thousands of silk in Kaifeng Prefecture...

But even ten thousand yuan cannot solve the difficulties faced by the Wu family!

Moreover, Wu Haogu is now the leader of a fraud gang, and does not commit crimes alone. Therefore, the benefits obtained from fraud cannot be taken over! Wu Haogu can only share half of this 10,000 yuan, which is only 5,000 yuan. Although it is a huge sum of money, it is still not enough for the Wu family.

"You can't sell it like this..." Wu Haogu thought about it for a long time, but still shook his head, "This painting must be sold for at least 40,000 yuan!"

"forty thousand?"

Liu Wuji was surprised when he heard this, "How could there be so many? Even the original works of the Painting Saint are just like this, right?"
