travel starts with photography

Chapter 209 You Can't Paint, Learn Watercolor First
He found that many foreigners like to eat at the same restaurant he likes.But Chen Xing pursues the principle of 'eat less and taste more', he likes to go to different restaurants to find different tastes.

And because of the various decorations of French restaurants, every time you change to a restaurant, it has a different kind of atmosphere.

It's just that the restaurant charges are quite expensive, and it's not as affordable as eating bread in the coffee shop.

Chen Xing hadn't been here before, so he expected to be pretty much the same.

I found a western restaurant nearby, and the waiter took Chen Xing to a place near the window according to Chen Xing's wishes.

He likes to watch people outside from this perspective.

The same street, but there are different people walking on it, so it changes every moment. Sometimes an inconspicuous corner, just because a handsome guy or a beautiful woman passes by, can produce a good-looking work.

The two were eating, and Delrin said, "You seem to like street photography?"

"Well, strange beauties are my muse of inspiration, and photographing them will improve my skills."

Delrin was taken aback for a moment, then smiled happily.

"Yes, that's what I thought too."

I have learned it, and he will say the same thing when he shoots other women in the future, Ou Baobao, you are my muse of inspiration, and shooting you will improve my photography skills... It becomes artistic in an instant.

At this time, Alizee also sent a message, asking Chen Xing to meet on the weekend in two days.

Then I sent some words of thanks.

She is now in a critical period of transformation, quitting the music scene to concentrate on running her own dance studio, this sudden fire on the Internet has helped her a lot and added a lot of help.

Delrin didn't know who Chen Xing was chatting with before, but when he found out, he immediately became jealous.

He was so obsessed with Alizee when he was a child. At that time, all French children had only one idol, and that was Alizee. It can be said that Alizee made many post-90s children draw maps on their beds for the first time.

But until now, he hadn't had a few words with Alizee.

"What did she talk to you about?"

"It's nothing, it's just some thanks..." When Chen Xing was cutting the steak, he looked up and saw Delrin's jealous eyes, and said quickly, "What kind of eyes are you, you don't think there will be anything between me and her, do you?" ? She can be my mother."

"Hey, hey, you have to show some respect to Alizee, she's only 37 years old!"

"Uh, is there a difference?"

Chen Xing's mother is also very young, and her father has always been pampered after marrying him. She either eats melon seeds in the store or takes a walk with her sisters. She looks much more beautiful than the current Alizee.

I didn't know what to give my mother this time when I went back this time, but now it seems that I should give a set of top-notch cosmetics.

"You little boy!"

Delrin was jealous because Chen Xing was chatting with his idol before, but now he is unhappy because Chen Xing doesn't like Alizee. The fans' thoughts are really unimaginable.

Chen Xing suddenly smiled and said, "I just found out today that Alizee is so popular in France. I thought your favorite female star was Sophie Marceau."

"She is also my idol, and I often collaborated with her in the past few years, but now I rarely see her appearing on TV. You really miss it when you say that, she is a very humorous person."

"Have you quit the entertainment circle?"

Delrin shook his head and said, "No, she has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, can't she enjoy herself? What, you are also her fan? Do you want her phone number?"

"No, it's just that she is much more famous than Alizee in our country." Chen Xing shook his head and asked again, "Will you go with me after that? Alizee invited me out for dinner in two days."

Delrin was a little moved, but still gave up.

"She asked you to pay for the photography. You are really lucky. You made so much money from the first commercial photography in your life, which is much better than when I first debuted."

Not all foreigners are rich and make a lot of money.

Delrin graduated from high-end Paris, and his income in the first month was only the income of a photo of himself now, and he is still a student of a top university, otherwise it must be lower.

An ordinary Frenchman's monthly salary is actually only 1700-2400, and almost half of the average person's monthly income is less than [-] Euros.

Converted into Huaxia coins, there are still a lot.

But the consumption in France is also high. Take Coke, which is available all over the world, for example. A 200ml can of Coke in China costs three yuan, but it costs one euro to buy it in a French supermarket.

This is much more expensive than domestic ones.

Chen Xing was thinking in his heart, if he added the income that Alizee was about to give him, he could live a life of luxury in France again...

Getting rich still depends on windfall.

Just relying on the three melons and two dates earned by being a grandma, one will not be able to achieve wealth and freedom in a lifetime.

After parting from Delrin, Chen Xing took a taxi to go back to school.

I guess I haven't seen Delrin for a long time. This guy went to the UK to record a food show, and he doesn't know what he thinks. Isn't the UK a food desert?A gourmet show actually invites international photographers to participate?
It's too weird.

………………

There is an oil painting class this afternoon. It starts at one o'clock and ends at 02:30. After that, students can go home or continue to create their own paintings in the school studio.

Chen Xing took two classes before, and the teacher learned that Chen Xing was a transfer student, and he repeated the very basic courses. He is a 36-year-old young painter with a good personality, and his paintings can sell for 60 internationally.

He revealed to himself that three years ago his painting was only sold for $[-]... I don’t know who the lucky one was to buy the painting, the investment was a huge profit.

The oil painting course is mainly practice, and the teacher basically only does demonstrations.

He walked around throughout the class, and since the second class, he liked to stand behind Chen Xing and watch him draw, which made Chen Xing feel a lot of pressure, but also because of this, his technique improved by leaps and bounds.

I already have the foundation of thangka, I can do sketching, and then I have the talent of color.

This talent can be applied to photography, but it can also be used to create a painting. After all, painting and color are a perfect match.

The teacher suddenly asked: "Xing, who is your favorite painter?"

"It's Monet, sir."

"Monet, I can see that you are very talented in color. Although you started learning painting very late, no one in school can compare with you in the use of light and shadow."

Monet is one of the representatives and founders of Impressionism, and also a recognized master of color, light and shadow.

"However, your oil painting brush is too sharp. Your current scene should be very gentle, but it has become like a cliff in your place. You may have to put down your brush first. You should paint watercolor in the next month. "

"Good teacher."

The young artist nodded slightly.

Chen Xing didn't disclose what skills he had learned before, but he undoubtedly had a certain foundation in painting, but he didn't know much about oil painting.His strong strokes are very suitable for creating modern paintings, but if you want to learn from Monet or Impressionism, you must get rid of this characteristic of strong strokes.

Watercolor is the best.

It is not only suitable for creating impressionist paintings, but also suitable for blurring Chen Xing's sharp brush strokes.

The teacher walked around two more times, came to the stage at the end, and said:

"Students, class is over. If you have any questions, please contact me online. I don't have my class tomorrow. I wish you a happy weekend... By the way, by the way, we will draw the human body in the first class next week. Models are not easy to hire, so don’t skip class.”

Draw the human body?
Chen Xing looked up at the teacher, and his heart beat a little faster. He hadn't drawn before.

However, the students around did not react much, and the students around Chen Xing were still complaining: "It's over, let's skip class."

Chen Xing was curious why he said that, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Seeing that Chen Xing was asking, he said, "Actually..."

A classmate next to him rushed over to stop him, and said to Chen Xing quickly: "Brothers!! Don't ask, you will know when the time comes, you didn't learn painting, it should be the first time you draw a human body, right? "

Chen Xing blinked.

"Um..."

"Then I can't tell you, but it's the first time to draw a human body, we still have to remind you, it's best to have a hair with your girlfriend before you come, so as not to make a fool of yourself, haha."

Very magical smile.

After finishing speaking, they dismissed get out of class. As students majoring in oil painting, they had too much time in the studio, so they didn't have to come every few days like Chen Xing.

Although there is no special oil painting major in the school, many people who study oil painting will also choose public art design, fashion design and other majors to come in.After all, the teachers here are very good, all of whom are internationally renowned painters.

There were more than 30 people, including Chen Xing, there were only eight students left in the studio.

The whole classroom was quiet again, only the occasional coughing sound.

Chen Xing moved the chair and continued to draw.

He has already painted this painting for three classes, and he will draw the human body in the next class, so Chen Xing wants to finish the current painting today.

What he painted was a landscape he had seen before. On the right side of the painting was the asphalt road, on the left side was the gentle spring water, and the mountains in the distance looked like an overturned paint plate. Many colors were mixed on it, but they were very harmonious.

If you look closely, you can see the movement of the leaves.

And the paint is used very solidly, which is the habit Chen Xing inherited from Thangka.Thanks to the free paints provided by the school, otherwise he would have spent half more on paints than others.

The eight people also left one after another, and they stopped for a while when they passed by Chen Xing.

"Who did you learn from?"

"I didn't learn from anyone, I just drew blindly..."

They had never seen an oil painting like this before, and they thought it was very novel, and they also heard from the teacher that Chen Xing painted very well... they didn't think it was very good, and the overall look was a bit messy.

They didn't know that this was Chen Xing's first time drawing something.

The second one is probably much better.

At five o'clock, he was almost finished drawing, but a phone rang, and the caller ID was... Little Pepper?

Oh, there will be work in a while!
Almost forgot.
