Master Hyesan,
please accept him as your pupil.
:22:12
He hasn't studied long but
his genius should not be wasted.
:22:19
So you're the one who copied
all those Chinese paintings.
:22:30
Let's go in.
:22:32
Welcome. Please go upstairs.
:22:35
A bankrupt merchant opened this tavern.
It does good business.
:22:41
This is Mongam.
:22:45
And this young man is Doncho.
:22:50
My name is Songhyun.
I mostly paint "Bird and Flower".
:22:58
You know Su Tung-po,
the great painter and poet?
:23:02
He argues that depicting nature
as it is doesn't make it art.
:23:08
Painting must reflect
the painter's mind.
:23:12
It's rough for daubers like us!
:23:16
Paint the thoughts behind the shape...
:23:19
Go beyond the form
and paint the meaning.
:23:25
It's our Master's motto:.
"Think before you paint."
:23:31
As his pupil,
you'll have to work hard.
:23:39
Depth and shadow
must always be equal.
:23:42
Is that a mouse or a rabbit?
:23:46
Object and painting must be as one.
Why these slapdash strokes?
:23:51
Don't push the brush. Pull it!
:23:56
"Homecoming."
:23:59
Painting is about more than appearance.
It's about capturing the essence.
