Xu Beihong's paintings were a type of traditional Chinese painting, and he used Xuan paper.
Good Xuan paper had the characteristics of cotton, white, fine, and even. It also had the characteristics of "ink and pen".
Hair ink meant that the ink color on the paper was moist and colored, and the pen mark was clear.
As for the brush, there were all kinds of brushes, depending on what you wanted to draw.
Gu Yiran picked up the brush and began to write on the Xuan paper.
As it was his first time drawing, even though he already had all of Xu Beihong's painting techniques in his mind, he still felt a little rusty when he started drawing.
On the yellowed paper, Gu Yiran quickly drew a galloping horse.
The bold and unrestrained ink outlined the head, neck, chest, legs and other big turning parts, and swept out the mane tail with a dry pen, making the change of shade and humidity natural.
The straight lines of the horse's legs were thin and powerful, like steel knives, piercing through the back of the paper, while the arcs of the abdomen, buttocks, and mane tail were very elastic and dynamic.
On the whole, the front of the picture was big and the back was small. The sense of perspective was strong. The legs and the horse's head that were stretched forward had a strong impact, as if they were going to break through the picture.
A painting was about to be completed.
Gu Yiran also took a breath at this moment. She took a break and looked at what she had drawn.
Xu Beihong was a master of modern times.
His painting style was different from that of ancient masters like Wu Daozi and Tang Bohu.
He had studied abroad before, so while his style retained traditional Chinese painting, it also mixed in many Western paintings.
After resting enough, Gu Yiran also changed a pen and finished sketching out all the details.
Works: Xu Beihong's Painting of Running Horse
[Difficulty: Three-star (max five-star)]
[Completion: 100%]
[Craftsmanship: 55%]
[Material: 70%]
[Rating: Fake as Real]
Gu Yiran glanced at the system's rating. This time, the quality of the material had reached 70%. The quality of the ancient paper kept by Uncle Hua was quite good.
It was a pity that it was his first attempt, and his grasp of the technique was not precise enough. As a result, he made a small mistake and did not reach 60% craftsmanship.
Otherwise, this would be a work of art that replaced the real with the fake.
After a short rest, Gu Yiran began to paint for the second time.
He also used Xuan paper.
Since it was his second time drawing, he did not encounter any difficulties, be it in terms of proficiency or other aspects.
Gu Yiran felt very good.
Even if it wasn't very high this time, 60% completion was definitely not a problem.
Soon, another lifelike horse appeared on the paper.
It raised its hooves as if it was about to rush out of the paper and arrive in front of Gu Yiran.
However, the entire horse still lacked a trace of agility.
The eyes of the horse had not been painted yet.
Xu Beihong's horse had many characteristics, one of which was that it had no eyes.
Of course, this didn't mean that it didn't have eyes. It was just that Xu Beihong never drew eyes when he was painting.
The eyes of a horse were all made out by pressing.
Gu Yiran took out a piece of Xuan paper and held it in her hand. She covered it with some ink and pressed it heavily against her eye socket.
With that, the outline of an eye socket appeared.
After dealing with the eye sockets, Gu Yiran began to draw the hair on her temples.
Xu Beihong's sideburns were also a unique feature.
Gu Yiran first rubbed the brush open. This was different from ordinary artists. Other artists had to gather a little brush hair after splitting the brush.
After rubbing it open, Gu Yiran made some light ink and drew a layer under it.
At this point, Gu Yiran had already reached a critical stage. She wiped the sweat off her forehead and prepared to rest for a while.
This was also the second step of drawing the sideburns.
After finishing the first layer of light ink, he had to take advantage of the time when the ink was not dry to let it dry for a while before he could draw the second layer. Only then would he have the feeling of floating.
Seeing that it was about time, Gu Yiran stood up and began to draw the second layer.
The first layer was light ink, and the second layer was burnt ink.
In a short while, the two layers were finished.
Gu Yiran nodded in satisfaction. At the same time, he was shocked by Master Xu Beihong.
If not for Master Xu Beihong's painting skills.
He probably would never have dreamed that there were so many ways to draw a painting. He had to stop where he should stop and draw in different levels.
The sideburns in the painting were clearly layered and rich, fluttering and flying.
The horse's eye was pressed out with a special technique, so it was full of three-dimensional feeling.
" Phew." Gu Yiran was also sweating profusely. Master Xu's painting was too difficult to imitate, but it was finally completed.
Gu Yiran estimated that there should be a good craftsmanship this time.

[Completion: 100%]
Craftsmanship: 65%
[Material: 70%]
[Rating: Fake for True]
Gu Yiran was relieved to see that the rating had finally changed.
Finally, he did not let down his efforts and allowed his rating to reach the second level.
He placed the painting of the galloping horse in a well-vented place, waited for the ink to dry, and then perfected the details.
During this period, he also used other methods to speed up, but he tried to use them as little as possible.
A week should be enough for the ink to dry.
At that time, an authentic work of Xu Beihong would appear on the market.
Looking at the craftsmanship on it, Gu Yiran sat on the chair and rested for a while before starting to write again.
He couldn't make the decision regarding the material. He could only depend on fate.
However, craftsmanship could be practiced. If he wanted to push it to a higher level, he had to practice more.
Even a master like Xu Beihong would not be able to produce a good painting without practicing for a long time.
Gu Yiran, who had inherited other people's skills, had to practice more diligently.
In the middle of the night, incandescent lamps drove out the darkness and lit up the room.
Xu Beihong's " authentic works " were abandoned to the side.
......
In the end, Gu Yiran fell onto the bed with reddened eyes. In front of her was a newly drawn 'authentic' painting.
