Framing
One had to know,
In the entire framing industry, Old Master Zhao Bin,
They could be considered as figures of the highest status.
The old master had seen countless precious paintings.
As for the paintings and calligraphy works that had been decorated by Old Master Zhao,
Would add to the whole picture,
Its value would also increase greatly.
As the saying goes,"30% painting, 70% mounting"
This was the truth.
So,
That was why the old master said that.
When Shen Xu heard Old Master Zhao's words, he was not angry.
He understood Old Master Zhao very well.
If the old man didn't want to help, he would ask him what painting he wanted to install over the phone.
She didn't wait until they reached his house before asking.
When the old master saw Tang Bohu's real work,
He definitely wouldn't have such an attitude.
It was also very interesting to see himself slapped in the face.
Shen Xu was still looking forward to it.
Thinking of this, Shen Xu smiled at Old Master Zhao and said,
"Grandpa Zhao, I know you don't make a move easily, but I'm worried about the craftsmanship of others, so I came to you. Please help me.”
Old Master Zhao was just joking.
Shen Xu had brought the painting to his house. How could he not help?
If he really didn't want to help, he wouldn't let anyone enter his house.
So,
Old Master Zhao only shook his head.
She said to Shen Xu,
"Alright, I'll help you this time. Don't bring this kind of painting to me next time.”
Then, he said,
The old man turned on the fluorescent lamp on the table.
He picked up the paste in the corner and prepared to frame it.
There were three basic steps to framing.
The first was " support ". This was the first step in the framing process. It was also known as " support painting " or " support painting heart ". It referred to using paste to support the back of the painting with rice paper.
The second was mounting. The heart of the painting had to be supported by a cutting board, a cutting knife, a cutting ruler, a cone needle, and other tools to cut paper, silk, damask, brocade, and other decorative materials.
Next, he used the cut materials to embed the heart of the painting. This process was called "mounting". In the northern dialect of Beijing, it was called "embedding".
The third step was "mounting", also known as "putting on the pole" or "mounting the axis". Before mounting, one had to grind the back of the painting with a calendering stone (smooth cobblestone) a few times to make the back of the painting smooth and flat, making it easy to roll.
At this moment, Old Master Zhao was taking the first step.
He turned the painting over first, with the back facing up.
Then, he applied the paste to the back of the painting.
As he swiped, Old Master Zhao felt that something was wrong.
Why did this painting look different after being soaked in water?
Shen Xu used the mountains and trees that the system saw in the ghost market.
The painting slowly appeared after it was soaked in water.
However, Old Master Zhao could only see the general outline now.
Tang Bohu's signature and seal could not be seen.
Seeing that the mystery in the painting was about to be discovered by Old Master Zhao,
Shen Xu also relaxed.
Although he knew that Old Master Zhao would find out sooner or later,
But there was always a chance.
Before the dust settled, Shen Xu was still on tenterhooks.
At this moment…
Old Master Zhao had already put down the tools in his hand.
He picked up the magnifying glass again and observed it carefully.
He was experienced and had seen all kinds of situations.
After looking at it for a while, he quickly understood.
After a long time,
Old Master Zhao heaved a sigh of relief.
She said to Shen Xu meaningfully,
"You're in luck, kid!"
Of course, Shen Xu knew what Old Master Zhao meant.
However, when he heard Old Master Zhao's words, he pretended to be at a loss and said,
"Grandpa Zhao, what do you mean?”
Old Master Zhao pointed at the painting on the table and said,
"There's a picture in your picture!"
Shen Xu moved his head to where Old Master Zhao was pointing and observed for a while.
Then, he raised his head and pretended to be shocked. He stuttered,
"This…this…could this be the legendary painting in a painting?”
Old Master Zhao nodded affirmatively.
Then, he said with a look of gratitude,
"This kind of situation is too rare. I've only encountered it twice in my life. This is your third time.”
Shen Xu seemed to have just recovered from his shock.
He said with a relieved look,
"Fortunately, I bought it after I saw it. Otherwise, I would have missed out on a treasure!”
Old Master Zhao nodded and said,
"Yeah, back then…"
Shen Xu, who was at the side, saw that the old man seemed to be about to give a long speech.
He hurriedly said,
"Grandpa Zhao, please take off the painting quickly and see what treasure is worth protecting in this way.”
Shen Xu did not want to listen to Old Master Zhao's story now.
He only wanted Old Master Zhao to reveal Tang Bohu's painting as soon as possible.
Old Master Zhao was about to tell his two previous stories.
Unexpectedly, Shen Xu suddenly urged him,
The old man suddenly felt like he was choking.
He glared at Shen Xu and said unhappily,
"Go get me a basin of water, not too much!”
Shen Xu quickly picked up the basin in the corner and went to the bathroom to get a small basin of water.
When Old Master Zhao saw Shen Xu bring back the water, he said,
He rolled up his sleeves.
She took out many bottles and jars from the cabinet beside her.
Then he opened them one by one.
Then, he poured it into a basin of water as if he was preparing a medicine and stirred it with a glass rod.
Strange to say,
After the colorful liquid mixed with the water,
In the end, it turned into a transparent gel!
