[Printmaking techniques: lv.1 beginner (6/10)]

Task panel——

[Novice task: complete the finishing touch of the current painting]

[Task time: three hours]

Gu Weijing picked up the water glass on the table, took a sip, and confirmed that the virtual panel in front of him really existed in front of him.

Ordinary middle school students are either excited or surprised when they encounter this kind of situation.

But thanks to the blessing of painting from childhood to university, Gu Weijing can still maintain a good composure for it.

Art students may seem a little lonely and out of place in normal life. They are often a group of people with a very spiritual temperament in society. They need to often substitute themselves into various painting scenes, so they occasionally make people feel confused of.

It doesn't matter whether it is a keen artistic perception or a van Gogh-like madness, anyway, when encountering such a situation that ordinary people cannot understand, Gu Weijing didn't have too many emotional ups and downs, and quickly adapted to it. the current situation.

He silently closed the panel.

Continue to pick up the brush and concentrate on painting the corresponding fixed color on the blank space of the drawing on the drawing board.

Another hour and a half passed.

Gu Weijing finally finished all the coloring of this large canvas of 1.4 meters by [-] centimeters. He put the easel in the corner of the gallery to dry, and then reopened the property panel.

[Your novice mission has been completed! 】

This line of prompts popped up on the panel, and the proficiency in the [Oil Painting Technique] column has changed to [25/100]

"The proficiency has only increased by [-]%. Well, I don't know what the calculation standard is. I started drawing the first draft of this painting before the Spring Festival, and today's progress is already finished. If I draw a new work from scratch, the proficiency How much can the speed increase?"

Gu Weijing frowned involuntarily while looking at the virtual panel.

"Only sketching is semi-professional? The rest are just beginners and beginners? Is this the level in the eyes of the system?"

He pursed his lips, a little unhappy.

In addition to deduction of talent, Gu Weijing himself is also a hard worker.

After all, he was born in a major and grew up in a painting family.

Gu Weijing thinks that his basic painting skills are not bad, even better than many seniors who have signed studios in the Academy of Fine Arts of Yangon University, otherwise they would not be targeted by the underworld.

Although I am determined to become an artist, I don't take the non-mainstream recognition of tattoos such as big bald heads seriously, but it is a bit too embarrassing to evaluate it as "introductory".

"Are you receiving your novice reward?"

Gu Weijing saw a red dot on the task bar, and clicked to receive it with the mentality of not getting it for nothing.

[The novice reward has been received! 】

[Active skills: Adolf von Menzel's basic experience in painting]

【Quality: Perfect】

[Special effects: As in the title, after activating the skill, you will have the same basic painting skills as Adolf Menzel in the next 10 minutes.Cooling time, one day. 】

[Equipment requirements: sketch level lv.2]

[Master profile: 19th world-class famous illustrator, German sketch master, woodblock and lithographer, famous for his rigorous and meticulous sketching, illustrator of "The Biography of Frederick the Great", winner of the Black Eagle Medal. 】

[Remarks: As the highest honor of the Prussian Empire, even the princess of the Hohenzollern Dynasty would lower her noble head in the face of a winner of the Black Eagle Medal, which represents dignity and status. 】

"It turned out to be Mr. Menzel?"

Gu Weijing opened his mouth slightly, he knew who Menzel was without a systematic introduction.

The most famous painting master in German history has a close relationship with the prosperous Prussian royal family.

In Prussia in the [-]th century, being able to participate in the illustration painting of "The Biography of Frederick the Great" was not the same concept as the illustrators listed on the children's comics on the street.

Analogous to the ancient times of Eastern Xia, the status is probably between the court painter Castiglione, the Hanlin scholar, the prince Shaobao, and the editor-in-chief of the National History Museum Ji Xiaolan.

The small-sized illustrations of more than ten centimeters hand-painted by Menzel are basically sold at auction houses for around 7000 euros. This is because more than [-] of his works are still alive.

"But it's just the basic experience of painting?"

He was a little disappointed.

It's not that Gu Weijing doesn't know that he looks down on Mr. Menzel, but since the word "basic" is included in the basic experience of painting, it is obviously a skill for beginners of art. For Gu Weijing, who has learned painting and is close to For people with [-] hours, it may not be of great help.

In fact, even if it is more in favor of the unpopular professional fields such as woodblock or lithograph, Gu Weijing thinks that it is more useful than this vague basic painting technique.

However, driven by curiosity, he still decided to see what effect this skill had.

Seeing Brother Hao left, there were no new customers entering the painting and calligraphy shop for the time being.

For the sake of caution, Gu Weijing walked over and hung a sign saying "Closed business, if you need to buy paintings, please call or make an appointment online" at the door.

Then he took out gouache paper, a box of colored pencils and a pencil sharpener from the studio in the back room, and after finishing all the preparations.

Only then did Gu Weijing activate his skills.

He didn't feel the feeling of being empowered by a martial arts master and increasing his skill for ten years out of thin air. He just suddenly had a little enlightenment in his mind.

The skill panel in front of him has also become——

【Adolf von Menzel's painting experience】

[Cooling time: 23 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds]

Gu Weijing took out a half-used pencil from the pencil case on one side, and looked at the Mercedes-Benz model on the table.

Colored pencil drawing does not have too much technical content, but it is the most basic skill test. It requires not only the accuracy of sketching, but also the light and shadow of color.

Moreover, it is much more convenient to draw a picture than an oil painting that often takes days, weeks or even months. If it is faster, half an hour is not impossible.

As soon as the experts make a move, they will know if there is any.

If you want to know your true painting level after activating your skills, nothing else is useless. Nothing can explain it better than actually drawing a picture.

Gu Weijing originally estimated that there would not be much room for improvement in his basic skills.

He has the capital to conceit, mainly because he has already learned the basic knowledge that he can learn.

When other children were waving Ultraman and yo-yos in the kindergarten, Gu Weijing’s birthday present was a box of 48-color colored pencils produced by Faber Castell in Germany.

Because the drawing skills are too simple, colored pencil drawings and crayons are often associated with labels such as beginners and children's stick figures in public perception, and they are also ranked relatively unpopular in the art market, and sometimes they are not as good as pen drawing.

Its upper limit is there, even if Menzel has any room for improvement?

"What the hell!"

When the tip of the pencil finally landed on the watercolor paper in front of him, Gu Weijing realized that he was the frog in the well who didn't know the vastness of the world.
