Chapter 234 - restoration, the true state of a Master!

Chapter 234: Chapter 234, restoration, the true state of a Master!

The brushes, ink, paper, and Inkstone were all ready.

On the table next to them, there were thousands of brushes, inkstones, pigments, ink, and other materials.

Ning Fei and Lin Shanhe were grinding.

On Huaxia TV3, Liu Tianzhi was invited as a guest to be in charge of explaining.

He explained to the netizens:

“My teacher and Abbey Dean Ning are now preparing the first step of restoring the ancient painting, grinding the ink

“They want to make the same ink rhyme as the painting of the Thousand Miles rivers and mountains.”

“This step sounds simple, but it’s actually very troublesome.”

“Because they can only judge the ratio of water and ink when Wang Ximeng was painting by observing the painting.”

After hearing Liu Tianzhi’s explanation, the netizens finally understood how rigorous the cooperation needed to restore an ancient painting was.

The paper in front of Ning Fei was the same paper as the scroll of the Thousand Miles rivers and mountains painting.

The ink used was also the same ink.

After Ning Fei finished mixing the ink paper, he first drew a stroke on the paper.

......

The tip of the pen moved on the paper, turning from thick to light.

After the ink had completely soaked into the paper, Ning Fei took a magnifying glass and magnified the stroke he had drawn, carefully observing it.

“Thirty percent of the first green has faded.”

He said calmly.

At the same time, Lin Shanhe also said, “The fourth layer of the first green, the third layer of the first green. It’s too heavy.”

The two of them looked at each other. Then, they poured out all the ink that they had finished grinding. Then, they changed to a new brush and began to grind the ink again.

Liu Tianzhi continued to explain on the television program:

“They need to find the exact same ink rhyme as the painting of the Thousand Miles rivers and mountains, so they need to constantly adjust it

“The restoration of cultural relics needs to be careful.”

The netizens watched quietly.

This program was different from all other programs.

Ning Fei and Lin Shanhe’s exchange was very short. There were only a few words, and they were all talking about the amount of ink used and the final result.

The other time, the two of them were focused on comparing the ink rhyme they drew with the thousand miles rivers and mountains painting.

One time, one time, one time...

There were all kinds of dark green brushes on the side, and the table was already full of them.

Every time they drew the ink, they would compare it with the painting, full of expectations, and then shake their heads in disappointment.

They failed time and time again, but they were getting closer to the final result.

The netizens admired the perseverance of these two people. From the beginning to the end, Ning Fei and Lin Shanhe’s expressions were only focused.

Everyone could see that the two of them were really immersed in it.

Was this the realm of a Master?

Perhaps, only such a person could really bear the word ‘master’.

“It’s still not right.”

As the results of the two approached, Lin Shanhe used a magnifying glass to compare the two and found that the ink they drew was still different from the ink of the Thousand Miles rivers and mountains painting.

Did the first step fail?

The netizens silently prayed for the two of them.

Ning Fei also frowned. He looked at the Thousand Miles rivers and mountains painting. The charm of the painting was still there, and Ning Fei could clearly feel the majestic artistic conception within.

Therefore, he was even more determined to restore this Chinese treasure.

At this moment, he noticed something.

“No, look here.”

Ning Fei said.

“At the edge of this mountain, the ink isn’t quite right. If it’s just green and green, it can’t be so smooth.”

“It’s rouge. He added Rouge into it!”

“God! Wang Ximeng is really a genius. No wonder his landscape painting is so artistic. He actually mixed some plant pigments into the mineral pigments!”

Ning Fei’s expression was a little excited. When he heard Ning Fei’s words, Lin Shanhe also looked over without blinking.

He carefully looked at the ink rhyme and immediately laughed:

“It’s Rouge! It looks like we were missing a material when we were researching the ingredients this afternoon!”

“No wonder the ink rhyme we drew is always wrong!”

Lin Shanhe also became excited. He hurriedly asked Wang Xu to find some rouge. Fortunately, the cultural relics restoration center had extra ingredients. This matter did not take long.

The netizens looked at the live broadcast and were full of amazement.

Although they didn’t understand what Ning Fei and Lin Shanhe were talking about, they knew that these two people were very powerful.

Then, the two people mixed some rouge into the ink and continued to study Mo Yun. This time, the speed was much faster. After about ten minutes, they found the most correct Mo Yun, it was exactly the same as the ink of the thousand miles rivers and mountains painting.

If one used a magnifying glass to observe carefully, they would find that the ink patterns and patterns that Ning Fei and Lin Shanhe drew on the paper were exactly the same as the patterns of the thousand miles rivers and mountains painting.

After the two of them adjusted the ink, they did the same thing again.

They took out a new brush, dipped it in the ink, and drew a line on the paper. Then, they used a magnifying glass to observe it carefully.

Then, they changed to a new brush and repeated the process.

The netizens were even more curious. What were they doing? Didn’t they already find the most correct ink? Why did they repeat the drawing.

At this time, Liu Tianzhi explained on the TV program:

“My master and Abbey Dean Ning are doing the second step, drawing. For this step, they need to master the strength of the ink soaking in the rice paper.”

“To put it simply, the paper is divided into thousands of layers. If the ink of the Thousand Miles rivers and mountains painting is soaked into 600 layers, their ink will also be soaked into 600 layers.”

“Therefore, they need to know how much ink to dip the brush into and how much strength to use when painting.”

“These are the details.”

“Only a real master of traditional Chinese painting can do this.”

When he said this, Liu Tianzhi’s tone was full of admiration.

The netizens felt that it was an eye-opener.

They did not expect that such precise craftsmanship was needed to repair a little traditional Chinese painting.

It was no wonder that the palace museum had never repaired this traditional Chinese painting.

Because the difficulty was really too high.

“How many levels of confidence?”

After practicing for a while, Lin Shanhe turned his head and asked Ning Fei.

“Currently, I’m at level six.”

Ning Fei looked at the ink mark on the brush and said quietly.

“Once you’ve practiced to level eight, you can start.”

Lin Shanhe replied.

“Okay.”

In fact, Ning Fei had practiced for a few times and was already able to control the strength of the ink 100% .

After all, he had skills. These precise techniques might be difficult for others, but they were very easy for him.

However, in order to save Lin Shanhe’s face and to not appear too abrupt, Ning Fei deliberately said that the possibility was low.

Then, the two of them traced and compared for a while before finally starting the most crucial step:

Painting.

“Raise the temperature by two degrees. If I say so, lower the temperature.”

Lin Shanhe said to Wang Xu beside him.

Wang Xu nodded.

Then, Ning Fei and Lin Shanhe each held a piece of ink and went to a place where the thousand miles rivers and mountains painting needed to be repaired.

When the netizens saw this scene, they were so nervous that they didn’t even dare to breathe heavily.

Everyone knew that the most critical place was coming.

Ning Fei and Lin Shanhe looked at each other. They saw confidence in each other’s eyes.

“Are You Ready?”Lin Shanhe asked

“No problem.”Ning Fei nodded.

“Okay, let’s start!”

The two of them held the brush at the same time, grinding and painting at the same time.

The old and the young both looked calm and steady like Mount Tai.

The netizens realized that when the two of them started to paint, their aura had completely changed.

The tip of the brush was full of ink. It was just right. No More, no less.

Ning Fei only used the tip of the brush, bit by bit, following the ink of the “Thousand Miles rivers and mountains painting”to sketch and perfect this ancient painting.

The most difficult part of Chinese painting was the charm.

He needed to master the charm of this painting in order to draw out the charm.

However, his skills were very high, so he did not need to worry too much.

The drone circled very high, and the focus of the lens kept increasing, magnifying the area that Ning Fei had sketched out.

The netizens could clearly see how Ning Fei had perfected that small area.

That area was about four square centimeters. Compared to the entire painting, it was insignificant.

An ordinary person could fill up this area with two strokes.

Ning Fei, on the other hand, was carefully perfecting this area bit by bit.

Looking carefully, the netizens discovered that the area that Ning Fei had drawn was completely one with the original painting. It was natural, and there was not the slightest bit of surprise.

This was his strength.

This was also the reason why he was able to repair the traditional Chinese painting.

Looking at the two masters of Traditional Chinese painting focusing on restoring a classic Chinese painting, the netizens cried out in excitement.

At this moment, every time Ning Fei started to write, it would affect the hearts of millions of netizens.

The director of TV3, the Director of the Palace Museum, and the Deputy Director of the Palace Museum were so nervous that they didn’t even dare to breathe heavily.

That was a priceless ancient painting, a classic treasure of the Palace Museum.

If Fan Ningfei and Lin Shanhe made a mistake, the losses would be immeasurable.

However, these two people were too strong.

Until the two of them finished repairing the painting, they didn’t make a single mistake.

The two of them stopped writing at the same time and looked at each other with a smile.

Then, Lin Shanhe shouted, “Repair completed, lower the temperature.”

Hearing his voice, everyone’s attention was drawn to him.
