Chapter 112: Ingenious Craftsmanship
The piece that Qi Yan soiled just happened to cover the original pattern.
The embroiderer was thinking about how to preserve the original painting while repairing the piece perfectly.
"How is it? Can it be made right?" The old embroiderer on Meng Chuyuan's side looked up for a long time, and seeing no movement, she stood up and walked over.
"It might be a little difficult."
It is not practical to remove the cloth and clean it on the spot, because many things on it are not finished yet, and the dirty place is not easy to clean. If it is not handled properly, it may be ruined.
The old embroiderer stood by and looked carefully for a while. It happened that the embroidery was of peach blossoms, so she said to the embroiderer, "Add another peach blossom."
"But wouldn't it be too bright if it were painted like this?"
Because peach blossoms are pink, and the stained area is a bit too bright red.
Meng Chuyuan sat in her seat, listening to the two embroiderers discussing countermeasures. She said nonchalantly, "Why not change it to flower buds? It won't hurt if the flowers that haven't yet bloomed are a little darker. You can also embroider an extra layer to make it look more vivid."
She didn't go over to look at the original painting, nor did she know where the dirty part was. She just had this idea in her mind, so she shared it with the embroiderers.
When the old embroiderer heard what Meng Chuyuan said, she lowered her head and looked at the canvas again, and suddenly she understood.
"The bud is indeed possible, and the size is just right."
[It’s amazing! If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed what Sister Meng said.]
[The thing is, Sister Meng didn’t even go over to look at the cloth, but she was able to give advice directly, which is really cool.]
[Old embroiderer: I have good reason to suspect this isn't her first time embroidering. How come she knows everything and can think of everything?]
What else is there in Sister Meng's brain that we don't know about? Surprise! Same world, different brain. Sister Meng's brain works so fast, why can't mine work at all? Wow wow wow.
[Sister Meng feels a bit like she's cleaning up after her own child gets into trouble. Whenever Qi Yan gets into trouble, it seems like Sister Meng is the one cleaning up the mess hahahaha]
[Daily sigh, the director found a magical treasure and let us know Sister Meng, I just love her again and again]
"I'll try."
The embroiderer took the pen and casually outlined the general shape on the canvas. Overall, the flaws were no longer so obvious.
Once the thread is embroidered, the effect should not be visible.
After Meng Chuyuan finished embroidering the green leaf, she stood up and watched the embroiderer complete the final touches.
"I think we could also draw a branch in there. It's kind of odd that a flower bud suddenly popped up."
The drop of blood just covered the original peach blossom. Although a flower bud was drawn to fill it up, a closer look would reveal that the flower bud looked a bit strange and did not conform to the laws of growth.
The embroiderer thought what Meng Chuyuan said made sense, so she chose a suitable location to draw the branches, and added some peach blossoms and flower buds on the branches.
After the whole painting is completed, it looks much more natural.
[Oh my god, this is so beautiful! ! The embroiderer has really clever hands.]
This suggestion from Sister Meng is really great. It not only helped the embroiderer solve the problem of the embroidery cloth, but also made the original peach blossoms look more lush.
[Although, thanks to Qi Yan for letting me see another skill of Sister Meng]
[How cool! ! Do all embroidery students have such skillful hands?]
[I feel like Sister Meng has some artistic talent and knows colors like the back of her hand. I really envy her.]
The old embroiderer looked at Meng Chuyuan with satisfaction: "You may not be very old, but you know a lot."
They mainly learned embroidery, and had a basic understanding of painting but not very much. Some things were difficult to take care of the details, but Meng Chuyuan was able to find problems quickly.
Meng Chuyuan: "I was just saying it casually."
She was just giving a suggestion without seeing it.
Just then, the old embroiderer said she wanted to add a peach blossom. Hearing their conversation, Meng Chuyuan thought that peach blossoms and flower buds are the same thing, and perhaps drawing a flower bud on it would solve the problem.
The embroiderer who was in charge of the restoration couldn't help but sigh: "What she said casually is also very impressive."
At least Meng Chuyuan hit the point.
After Qi Yan's fingertip was pricked by a needle, she stopped embroidering and found a corner with few people to stay quietly.
Lu Jinsen and Tingjiu did not fight at all during the whole process, but they listened to the embroiderer tell many stories about the embroidery workshop.
After Meng Chuyuan finished learning embroidery, she saw several embroiderers drawing, so she went over out of curiosity.
Seeing how seriously they were drawing, Meng Chuyuan felt embarrassed to disturb them.
When she was about to leave after watching for a while, an embroiderer next to her suddenly spoke to her: "Do you want to try it?"
Meng Chuyuan asked expectantly, "Is it okay?"
"OK."
The embroiderer gave up her seat to Meng Chuyuan and found her a new piece of paper.
"We draw the picture on paper first, and then copy it onto the cloth when we need to embroider it. Usually we draw more flowers and plants. You can think about what you want to draw."
"OK."
Meng Chuyuan majored in painting, but she has more exposure to animation.
Meng Chuyuan thought that this painting would be used for embroidery, so she chose peony.
She probably had a picture of a cluster of peonies in her mind, and then she drew the peonies on paper bit by bit based on her imagination.
About half an hour later, Meng Chuyuan's paper was filled with several peonies and two small butterflies.
When the embroiderer saw her stop writing, she stepped forward to examine her, her eyes immediately filled with surprise and suspicion: "Is this a peony?"
"Yeah, doesn't the drawing look like it?"
Meng Chuyuan saw that the embroiderer's expression was difficult to tell whether she was angry or not, and thought there was something wrong with his painting.
"It's so similar." The embroiderer had never expected that Meng Chuyuan could paint the peony so vividly without any reference pictures.
[This painting is amazing. It would be very beautiful if it was colored, right?]
[The embroiderer's shocked expression is also my expression right now in front of the screen]
[Someone, come and type the word "Big Brother" on the public screen for Sister Meng]
I thought all flowers were five small semicircles with a dot in the middle. I've seen the world, folks.
[This hasn't been colored yet, but just looking at the finished painting gives it the feel of an auction picture. After seeing this picture, the embroiderer might even think about retiring, hahahaha]
I'm a professional artist. At this moment, I'm looking at the painting on my drawing board and then at Sister Meng, lost in thought.
It would take me years of study to reach this level of painting. The key is that I watched the whole process and saw that Sister Meng did it effortlessly. It felt so effortless.
Judging from the painting, Meng Chuyuan did not modify much and there are very few traces of erasure, which does not affect the appearance at all.
