I was engaged in infrastructure construction in the Han Dynasty [Transmigration Book]

In the Han Dynasty, the concept of ink painting and landscape painting did not appear. Even the paintings that have been handed down are mostly like bricks and portrait stones, and the colors are mostly black.

Even the colors on the lacquer boxes are mainly red and black, and other colors are replaced by shells or gold powder.

Because there is no paper, other carriers are difficult to color, so there is not much demand for pigments, and no one will study pigments.

Celadon, in fact, is already beautiful in itself, as long as the sun-engraved patterns are made on the biscuit, it will be particularly small and fresh when fired.

It's just that the aesthetics these days really don't follow the small and fresh route, so Liu Tan has to put some patterns on it.

Before he found it, the firing was not bad, so he stayed to play with a wine cup. He tried the red color first. I don't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that the light red color on it looked a bit unattractive.

It is good to add black to create a plum blossom pattern, but plum blossoms are good for small dishes and small cups, and plum blossoms are used for larger tableware, which makes it appear more spacious.

Liu talked about his own artistic level... that's it, it's no different from nothing. After thinking about it for a long time, the safest thing is landscape painting.

This is a pain for Liu Tan. In the past, he always had helpers when he was doing other things, and a single order would always save him a lot of trouble.

Even if you need to do it yourself, someone will prepare the raw materials.

But this time it was very troublesome, landscape painting... he had to do it by himself, and what was even worse was that he really didn't know anything about it, he only remembered one figure.

In the end, Liu Tan could only bite the bullet on his own. The only thing that needs to be thankful is that landscape paintings painted on ceramics do not require very good artistic skills. In other words, in this era when landscape paintings did not appear at all, as long as he painted them, he would be the originator.

He doesn't even need to make it too high-end, and he doesn't need perspective at all, as long as he can draw the shape.

Moreover, the most important colors of landscape painting are black, green, and cyan. He remembers that most of the original Chinese paintings used mineral pigments, so red cinnabar, black charcoal, and cyan can be used for lapis lazuli. Now it is probably called Qingdai, and green can be used for malachite. This made him breathe a sigh of relief

However, if he wanted to paint red plums on the small piece, it would be better to paint a snow scene, a snow scene...it needs to be white, and white like kaolin will do.

Liu Tan simply asked someone to grind all these materials into powder and bring them over.

After finishing it, Liu Tan suddenly realized that it was no wonder that art in ancient times required a lot of money, and most of these things were of great value.

Cinnabar and charcoal aside, these two are relatively easy to obtain, and they are not very expensive, and kaolin is also good.

The remaining malachite is only produced in the south, and there are very few places of origin, so it is considered a very rare gemstone.

Not to mention lapis lazuli, this kind of gemstone was passed down through the Silk Road, and it is not available to ordinary people.

Liu Tan dared to say that it was his family, other people's family, even Liu Fuling, who was also a prince and king, might not be able to take it out.

After all, besides Liu Che's last time, Liu Tan also has a mother who is a queen.

Such precious gemstones are used for grinding and painting. To be honest, from the expressions of Miao Rui and Bi Gao, you can tell that they also feel very prodigal.

Liu Tan picked up the brush and tried it first, and drew a mountain peak. To be honest, according to his aesthetics, it was a bit horrible, but he thought about it and continued to draw.

In any case, draw a finished product first to see, if you really can't stand it, don't make it, if it's okay, then...add it!

Liu Tan only painted three so-called peaks, one large, one small, one small, and then painted a layer of faint light blue on the surface. After thinking about it, he added a waterfall with white, and then added white on the top of the mountain to act as a painting. Snow.

After Liu Tan finished painting, he was sure again that he probably had no artistic talent. He threw away the brush and said a little irritably, "Throw it away."

Whatever you do, you shouldn't do things that you are not good at!

Miao Rui and Bi Gao looked at each other, and Miao Rui said cautiously: "Why is Your Highness unhappy? This landscape is so beautiful, why did you throw it away?"

Miao Rui and Bi Gao watched Liu Tan's painting with their own eyes, and they felt that His Highness was amazing. With just a few casual strokes, he painted mountains, water, and snow. The legendary creation of immortals is nothing more than that. .

Liu Tan was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and he asked seriously: "Do you really think this looks good?"

The two protectors on the left and right nodded frantically, and they couldn't even take their eyes off the blank paper.

Liu Tan asked again: "Did you lie to me?"

Bi Gao smiled and said: "Your Highness is joking, how dare we lie to Your Highness?"

Liu Tan touched his chin. Miao Rui and Bi Gao should not deceive him about this kind of thing, so... from his point of view, this painting should not be very good, but from Miao Rui and Bi Gao's From a high point of view, it should be pretty good?

Liu Tan asked: "Then tell me, if I make this painting into a set of porcelain, will it look good?"

The two of them probably never thought that they could still do this, and they were even at a loss for a moment. Can they still paint on porcelain?

They originally thought that celadon was already beautiful.

But soon Miao Rui came to his senses and said, "Your Highness might as well give it a try first."

Liu Tan thought about it, so he simply asked someone to get a wine cup first. Because of the special shape of the wine cup, the painting was painted on the surface of the cup. After it was fired, the color was a bit different from what he thought, probably because of the high temperature. Because of this, but the effect looks really good, especially Hongmei bullying Shuang Aoxue, the style is between realism and freehand brushwork... Forget it, he doesn't want to put gold on his face, he just wants to be realistic and doesn't have that ability.

But even so, the effect is surprisingly good.

Liu Tan was very confident, and immediately asked someone to bring over the blank, and he painted it himself.

It doesn’t work if you don’t draw it yourself. It’s okay to ask craftsmen to print a word. They haven’t touched landscape painting before, so how to draw it?

Then... Liu Tan scrapped several porcelain plates in a row.

There is no way, drawing on paper and on a porcelain plate are two different concepts, and the porcelain plate is not a flat surface, and Liu Tan even plans to draw patterns on the surface and side of the plate for the sake of looking good, which will test his skills even more.

A few of them were broken, and the rest were accidentally crushed by him while painting.

When Liu Tan's patience gradually ran out, he finally rushed to make two similar sets, and then asked people to paint gold on the edges of the tableware.

Fortunately, this kind of thing does not need him to do.

I don't know if it's because he put a lot of effort into these two sets of utensils. On the day when the firing was completed and they were about to be released, Liu Tan specially got up early in the morning to go over and watch the two sets of utensils come out of the oven with his own eyes.

As a result, when he first arrived there, the craftsmen were picking up the last batch of leftovers.

Because everyone is inexperienced, the scrap rate of porcelain biscuits is very high now.

When those remnants were being pushed out, Liu Tan glanced at them indifferently, and saw that some of the wine cups and dishes were intact, but there were fine and dense cracks on them, so they could only It's a pity that it was regarded as a defective product.

Hey, wait...Thin and dense cracks?Fuck!

Liu Tan immediately jumped up: "Stop!"
