The art of paper-cutting was one of the oldest folk arts in China.
This kind of hollowed-out art could give people a sense of visual emptiness and artistic enjoyment.
As early as the Northern and Southern Dynasties, exquisite paper-cuts had appeared. By the Sui and Tang Dynasties, paper-cuts with detailed details had appeared.
If two pieces of paper were cut together, it would not be surprising if the pattern was repeated. However, Yaya's words inadvertently reminded Li Chen of the three-dimensional paper-cut of the 21st century.
The paper-cutting of this period was purely for the purpose of painting. For example, the countless colorful lights on the night of the Qixi Festival were all drawn by paper-cutting. Therefore, no one could think of a three-dimensional paper-cutting that was made by cutting two pieces of paper together.
Li Chen took another pair of scissors and took out two pieces of paper from the stack of rice paper. He wanted to make a 3D paper-cut for Yaya no matter what.
Li Chen tried his best to recall the snowflake paper-cut he had seen before and immediately began to make it.
"Kacha! Kacha!"
After another series of dazzling movements, when Li Chen stopped cutting, the snowflakes in his hands were already vivid and lifelike. Before he could call Yaya to admire them, he heard her ask in a childish voice,"
"Daddy, how's Yaya's cut?”
Of course, to be able to cut out two cherry patterns at the same time was already very impressive for Yaya. Li Chen still had to praise her.
When Li Chen turned his head and saw the paper-cut in Yaya's hand, he was so shocked that his mouth dropped open.
After fifteen minutes, he finally managed to cut out a snowflake, but the bud had cut out a continuous mountain range.
Upon closer inspection, this continuous mountain range was no different from the fake mountains in the back garden of the residence. Yaya's work was not any less three-dimensional than Li Chen's work.
What kind of delicate idea was this?
Li Chen had relied on his memories from his previous life and his previous practice to cut out the three-dimensional snowflakes, while Yaya's work had relied solely on her own talent and hands-on ability.
Comparing the two, the difference was obvious.
"Alright, my Yaya is amazing. How did you think of that?”Li Chen picked up Yaya and kissed her on the forehead. He said with a gratified smile.
It was obvious that this method of 3D painting would cause a sensation in Chang 'an if it were to spread. Countless clever and skillful women would compete to make 3D paintings.
With Yaya's talent in art, coupled with Li Chen's guidance, the Great Tang would probably have another female version of Gu Kaizhi in the future.
"Daddy said that we can cut two pieces of paper at the same time, so Yaya thought of cutting the rockery. Actually, we can also cut three pieces at the same time.”Yaya said obediently.
"Yaya is awesome." Li Chen picked up Yaya's artwork and praised it from the bottom of his heart.
Ding!
" Congratulations to the host. The host has completed the task of teaching Yaya how to cut paper. The reward for the task is 200 points and one lucky draw.”
"In this lucky draw, the host will obtain one of the three skills: Carpentry Proficiency, Painting Proficiency, and Gardening Proficiency. Would the host like to start the lucky draw now?”
At this moment, the system notification suddenly sounded, making him unable to help but be delighted. With Yaya's help, he had finally completed his mission.
"Start the lottery draw." Then, he nodded and instructed.
" Lottery draw begins…Lottery draw in progress…Lottery draw ended…Congratulations to the host for obtaining Drawing Mastery in the lottery draw. Skill fusion begins…"
The mechanical voice continued to enter Li Chen's mind clearly.
Immediately, the flying ink dots and colorful paint intertwined. Countless painting techniques from ancient times to the present, from all over the world, were slowly immersed in the depths of Li Chen's mind like the waves of the sea.
It didn't take long.
Ink painting, sketching, oil painting, and other painting techniques from ancient times to the present were all imprinted in his mind.
After a while, Li Chen slowly put down Yaya's paper.
"Daddy, Yaya is tired. She wants to cut it tomorrow.”Yaya said as she put away her rockery paper-cut. That's right, the rockery paper-cut was restored to the shape of two pieces of paper with a little force.
Li Chen thought about it and realized that this was true. Although the scissors forged by Yuchi Jingde were light enough and the sprouts had been cut for more than two hours, such an artistic creation should be given a certain amount of rest time.
"Yaya, watch carefully. Daddy will show you something even more fun.”Li Chen said as he called his maid Su Wan over and asked her to bring his makeup over.
Following Su Wan were Princess Jin Yang and Princess Lan Ling, who had just finished their lunch break. The two princesses were also extremely curious about Li Chen's actions.
"Why does daddy need makeup?" Yaya was puzzled.
"Everyone, watch carefully. This is also a type of painting.”Li Chen smiled confidently and picked up Yaya's bamboo brush to dip it in makeup.
Her artistic talent could be seen from Yaya's cut painting. Since she was not interested in sketching, she changed it to oil painting.
In the current Tang Dynasty, there were only seven or eight colors of cosmetic powder. Compared to the standard watercolor paint, it was naturally much worse. However, the current Li Chen, with his proficiency in painting, could completely choose the corresponding theme from the limited colors.
Using makeup to paint, and in the era of ink painting, Li Chen's method could be said to be unrestrained. Yes, it was also a little extravagant. However, this would obviously attract Yaya's interest.
Just as he started writing, Yaya and the two princesses 'eyes lit up.
At this moment, Li Chen didn't plan to teach the three of them how to draw, so his speed was extremely fast.
The light blue makeup outlined the shape of the mermaid. On the golden beach, the mermaid sat quietly.
One kind of powder covered another kind of powder, suddenly forming a new color. In the layers of gradual colors, the beautiful backlighting on the paper and the hazy poetry in the painting were vividly displayed.
It was true that neither Yaya nor the older princess could appreciate it. They only knew fairy tales about mermaids, and only mermaids were beautiful.
When Li Chen put down his bamboo brush, Yaya and the other two were already engrossed in the scene.
At this moment, a bell-like voice suddenly sounded from behind them.
"This is a mermaid?"
Keep working hard and never stop. Everyone, please give me some fresh flowers to encourage me. Well, it's good to post a review to encourage him.）
