写生的愉悦

陈丹青

画布上架，颜料顺序挤出来，通常是中午十一点光景，模特到了，我开始写生。那一刻，双方都是初次见面，当我惊讶某位是98年生人，她就看向另一位2004年出生的女孩，淡然说：我们老啦。

他（她）们很敬业，很辛苦，大部分仍在就学，同时排满了走台的日程。中间歇息时，半数孩子立刻睡着了。

谢谢宾利公司姚总，两年间，他为我持续送来旗下的优秀模特。谢谢油画院尤勇，这些画在他的画室完成。模特身高平均一米八、九以上，他怂恿我画得大，我头一次在超过两米的画布上，现场写生。

谢星，资深造型设计师，自愿承担漫长的装扮，等他捋顺了裙摆的褶皱、女孩的头发丝、男生的衣领或后背，终于，孩子们从里屋走出来，个个变了模样，黛眉红唇，翼翼矜矜。

愚蠢而快乐的写生，手忙脚乱，脑子一片空白。黄昏，收工了，孩子们如释重负。虽然我尽量选择简单的姿势，他（她）们老实告诉我，这要比走台累多了。

我也累，但很愉快。事情就是这样。谢谢大家来看。

The Joy of Sketching

Chen Danqing

By the time the canvas is put on the easel and the paints are arranged in order, it’s usually around 11 O’clock. The model arrives and I begin to sketch. That moment is the first time we meet. When I was surprised at someone who was born in 1998, she looked to another girl who had been born in 2004, and coolly said, “We’re old.”

They were very dedicated and hardworking; the majority of them were still in school, and also had a busy schedule packed with catwalk shows and rehearsals. During breaks, half of them fell asleep immediately.

I would like to thank Yao Ge, President of China Bentley Culture & Media Co.，Ltd.. Over the last two years, he has continued to send me excellent models. I would also like to thank You Yong of the Chinese Academy of Oil Painting, because I made these works in his studio. The models were usually 1.8 or 1.9 meters tall, which encouraged me to make larger works. This is the first time that I have made sketches from life on canvases more than two meters tall.

Xie Xing, an experienced stylist, volunteered to dress the models. I waited for him to smooth out the wrinkles in a skirt, fix anerrant strand of a girl’s hair, or arrange the collar or back of a guy’s shirt. Finally, when the kids emerged from the changing area, they were transformed, fully made up and immaculately groomed.

When I was making these silly yet joyous sketches, my hands were busy, but my mind was blank. At dusk, we stopped for the day and the kids were relieved. Although I tried my best to choose simple poses, they honestly told me that it was more tiring than the catwalk.

I was also tired, but very happy. That’s the way things are. Thank you all for coming to see it.

行李箱  Suitcase

“我通常会让模特带两三套衣服备选，他（她）们就拖个行李箱来，赶飞机似的。摆来摆去没辙，瞥一眼行李箱，当即拖过来，男孩大长腿一岔，构图就有了，正巧隔壁画室有个青年画家过来，叫上去一块儿画。”

手机  Smartphones

“开画前，最伤脑筋的是摆动作，这里站站，那里坐坐，横竖不满意……我说休息吧，俩姑娘于是躺回沙发坐回凳子，各自看手机，我一瞧，行了，别动，就这么画。那天借的是帅哥尤勇的画室，他养条大狗，名埃塞克。埃塞克绕着客人蹿跳，一刻不停，画中这匹狗是拍了照片画的。欧洲古画多有贵犬，古人没有照相机，怎能画得那般仔细呢？瞧委拉斯贵兹《宫娥》中横在画前的那匹大狗，笔笔从容，不可思议。”

“我已不能相信两个半天怎会画成这仨。第二天画到三点过，雷雨将至，室中昏暗，翌日我要去乌镇，只能硬着头皮铺完。这回，蒙古女孩和台湾女孩左右夹着一个更小的弟弟：中国比利时的混血儿，一口京腔。每次休息时，瞧着孩子们过家家似的坐拢着，卷缩着，长手长腿，又看手机又说话，我总是会感动。我要是早早有个孙儿女，也该这么大了吧。”
