Almighty painter

Chapter 230 Expulsion

Gu Weijing grasped the pencil that was still spinning on the table.

There are eight major art academies in Dongxia, and there are five beauties in Japan.

These well-known art colleges are very fond of using still life sketches to test students' pen skills, whether it is joint art exams or independent exams.

Even Musashino Art University, a famous Asian school, has given the candidates several pencils and a piece of paper to test their painting skills in the entrance examinations of oil painting, sculpture, craft industry planning, and architectural design departments in the past ten years. b3 paper for drawing.

The teacher then placed a few pots of complex still lifes such as daffodils on the table, allowing candidates to spend them within a limited time.

The degree of completion of the students' sketches is used to determine whether they are eligible for admission.

This aspect testifies to the importance of sketching in modern art education.

On the other hand, it shows that the basic skills of sketching are the most difficult to fool people.

One person, one style, one student, one level.

The good or bad of expressiveness, between the simple color blocks and the criss-crossing lines, can easily show an art student's brushwork to the fullest.

How about the line and modeling skills, see the article on the tip of the pen.

The moment the viewer sees the scale, deformation, form, color, or texture changes that the painter has rendered on the paper with pencil, he will instantly realize that some paintings are outstanding and others are mediocre.

In the hearts of those who love art, sketching does not need a marking teacher to mark it.

Beautiful and ugly, paper has given the answer.

good or bad,

See it at a glance.

"My current light and shadow, positioning, and shape seem to be more accurate than before." Gu Weijing used the muscles between his fingers to feel the new changes brought about by the improved technique.

Generally speaking, oil painting and sketching are painting methods that express the real world with proportional relationship and contrast of light and shadow.

As for the details, the focus of the two pens is still different.

Oil painting focuses more on the emotional expression between brushstrokes and colors.

There is no paint in sketch, only lines and color blocks, only the contrast of light and dark in black, white and gray.

In the world of sketching, the sun is not orange-red, the sky is not blue, and the lake is not dark green. Everything has only subtle changes in light and shadow.

To achieve this, the use of sketch pencils is more precise than that of oil paint brushes, the positioning of the pens is more perfect, and the thickness of the strokes is more accurate.

Gu Weijing looked up at the teacher on the podium, and casually tried to draw a sketch of a character on the desk.

In fact, it can't be called a sketch, it's just a basic stick figure for drawing a character's eyebrows and eyes.

But Gu Weijing grasped several core characteristics of the characters.

Slightly disheveled hair, a square face with well-developed masseter muscles and a typical Germanic nose, plus a few strands of crow's feet at the corners of the eyes that diverge from one origin and parallel to each other at the ends.

Gu Weijing only took a few minutes to draw a very simple line relationship, and the whole appearance of Professor Vatel spitting on the podium was already vivid in front of him.

Desks are not good drawing boards.

Pressed from three-ply wood and sprayed with waterproof paint on the surface, the desktop is smooth and smooth, without the adhesion of pencil graphite.

Not only the friction is so low that the nib is as difficult to control as a roller skate, but the use of brush strokes to build light and dark relationships on it is completely pure nonsense.

however,
Gu Weijing's painting is very similar.

His brush strokes are as light as a martial arts master with light kung fu. He walked across the snow in winter, leaving shallow but clear enough pen marks on the table.

There is no feeling of obscurity and lag between the beginning and the end.

"This is the sketching level of the second-level profession. In the group of professional painters, it can be regarded as officially able to enter the room, and it can be regarded as a 'master' in a small place."

Gu Weijing looked at the portrait of Professor Vatel on the table, at Professor Vatel himself on the podium, and at the "Theodore Roosevelt" drawn by the teacher as an example in the previous class on the right side of the blackboard The classic sketched avatar for .

Gu Weijing nodded in satisfaction, and wiped off the graffiti on the table with the edge of his palm.

"Professor Vatel, now I am the best sketcher in this classroom." He smiled triumphantly in his heart.

During the few minutes that Gu Weijing researched and realized the improvement of his sketching technique.

Professor Vettel on the podium has finished the content of today's knowledge.

As usual, the professor distributed the grid paper he printed to each student, and asked them to practice using pen details as homework.

When Gu Weijing got the grid sketch paper passed from the front row, he was not in a hurry to start writing.

He stared at the sketch paper in front of him for a few seconds, and a new idea popped into his mind.

"Snapped!"

Gu Weijing snapped his fingers lightly.

……

at the same time.

The art classroom on the third floor of the teaching building on the east side of Dulwich, Mrs. Cruz's improvement class.

The advantage of small class teaching is that Mrs. Sakai did not set up a special curriculum plan or syllabus, anyway, there are only a few students in total.

She regards this art classroom as a small studio, allowing students to complete their portfolios by themselves.

Mrs. Sakai and her teaching assistant walked through the classroom.According to the different situations of each person, provide creative guidance and revision opinions.

"Mr. Xiaosong, by the way, come here for a moment, I have something to say."

Mrs. Sakai stepped on her high heels and walked past the students. After looking around for a while, she found her goal.

She stopped Taro Komatsu and motioned him to follow her to the corner.

Komatsu Taro froze for a moment.

Mrs. Sakai always called him Komatsu-kun or Komatsu-san in the past.

Occasionally, he even omits his surname directly, and calls him "Taro" in the tone of his own junior.

Now I use the British address of Mr. Komatsu, which is more polite, but it sounds like a sense of alienation.

Taro Komatsu was very unhappy.

I ran all the way here for your daughter, but as a result, Miss Shengzi seemed to ignore him all day long.

You don't need to be disciplined.

Still showing my indifferent face here, I really don't treat me as a dish for Komatsu Taro!
Lao Tzu is also a diamond king who can often make women look at him with eyes drawn, okay?
"Professor Cruz, just right, I also have something to tell you."

Komatsu Taro let out a cold snort in his heart, and also changed his address.

He did have some opinions and wanted to raise them with Mrs. Sakai.

Komatsu Taro started pursuing Ms. Sakai Katsuko, and has been following the route of the classic wife-loving president in the docile and obedient Korean dramas.

As a result, what was exchanged for!
It was Ms. Sakai who called herself in the middle of the night and told Komatsu Taro that he would not marry you.

All the painstaking efforts were poured on the white-eyed wolf.

In fact, the resentment of being rejected by Ms. Sakai dissipated a lot after he poured two glasses of cocktails at the hotel bar.

A little girl who likes to think wildly.

Growing up in such a wealthy family as Professor Sakai, he must be a canary in a jade cage.

The little girl lacks a clear understanding of society and wealth, and doesn't know the benefits of a high-quality man like him.

Regarding the future of himself and Sakai Katsuko, Komatsu believes that even if there are short-term twists and turns, the future must be bright and beautiful.

Miss Shengzi has long hair but short knowledge, big breasts and no brains.

Her mother, Mrs. Sakai, had always been a fairly sensible person.

Know what is the most important thing and what is the best way to deal with your daughter.

From the fact that Mrs. Sakai called herself over on her own initiative and constantly created opportunities for herself to get in touch with Ms. Sakai in the past, it can be seen that Mrs. Sakai is wise and has a high EQ.

The only regret is that

Ms. Shengzi is a bit reticent, and the effect of the warm offensive is not good.

These months,

Sakai Katsuko did not get closer to him, but had a faint tendency to run away.

Taro Komatsu made up his mind after downing his third glass of whiskey with cherries that night.

He has shown his gentle big brother side in the past.

Now, Taro Komatsu is going to change his approach and show Yamato's decisive and resolute, masculine side like a samurai.

He, Komatsu Taro, from today on——

Be domineering!

"Ma'am, my daughter can't be pampered like this!" Komatsu Taro thought that when he talked to Mrs. Sakai later, he would use a low voice and an unquestionable tone, and said coldly: "If you continue to pamper me, your heart will become wild. What does it look like to hang out in Yangon all day. I think it's time for you to make up your mind and send your daughter Katsuko back to Japan."

Who is not a domineering president who is evil and beckoning?
Since Mrs. Sakai knew in her heart that Taro Komatsu was an irreplaceable person no matter in terms of family background or talent.

I want to be the daughter-in-law of Komatsu Gallery,

It's boring to be an old man.

Taro Komatsu said that it is best to book a flight ticket back to Japan this week and get engaged in Osaka next month.

Women can get married first and then go to university. This kind of thing was not uncommon among female students in the Showa era not long ago.

After two years, I might have children, so where can my heart go?

Taro Komatsu thought his plan was perfect, and he only hated himself for not proposing it earlier.

"Do you have something to tell me too?"

Mrs. Sakai stood in the corridor at the door of the classroom, straightened her blonde hair on her forehead, and said doubtfully.

"Go ahead, Professor Cruz."

Taro Komatsu hooked the corners of his lips, and was going to listen to what Mrs. Sakai was going to say first, and then build up momentum by himself, and then attack.

"Okay, that's it."

Mrs. Sakai looked Komatsu Taro up and down.

She felt that this guy's tone and demeanor were a bit strange, and she didn't take it seriously, but said straight to the point: "Shengzi wants to participate in the Singapore Art Biennale at the end of this summer, and she may need more time to prepare by herself." work."

"Therefore, both Shengzi and I think that time is limited, and she doesn't need to go to the improvement class to be a teaching assistant. What do you think?"

When Mrs. Sakai said that, she didn't have much intention to seek Komatsu Taro's opinion in her tone.

"what?"

Taro Komatsu was stunned.

The aura of preparing to attack was constantly accumulating in my heart, like a balloon being stuck by a needle, it suddenly withered.

Are you not coming to improve the class as a teaching assistant?

Isn't this a private opportunity that Mrs. Sakai promised to create for herself and Ms. Sakai Katsuko to get in touch with more.

and,

Is Sakai Katsuko going to participate in this year's Lion City Art Exhibition, so young...

"Participating in the exhibition is a good thing, auntie. Ms. Sakai is going back to Japan to paint, and I can accompany him more. Give her some art guidance. After all, you are elders, and it is easier for us peers to communicate with each other." Xiaosong Taro still had some confidence in saying this.

He is also a professional player who won the third prize in the student group of the Yokohama Art Triennial.

Although the award itself is inseparable from the marketing help of Komatsu Gallery, family background is also part of its strength.

He thinks he is an excellent new generation painter.

"Why did you go early?"

Mrs. Sakai laughed in her heart.

"Shengzi is very happy to create in Yangon. Before the end of the semester, she will not return to Japan for the time being. For advice or something, thank you Mr. Komatsu for your kindness, but there is no need."

Komatsu Taro frowned tightly.

"If this is the case, I don't think it is necessary for me to stay here. Komatsu Gallery's business peaks in spring and summer every year, with monthly sales of nearly [-] million yen. If Ms. Sakai Katsuko continues to behave like this, I'm thinking about going back to Japan."

His words were not only pointing out his dissatisfaction, but also reminding Mrs. Sakai that he is the heir of such a large gallery industry.

Komatsu also has a temper, okay?

I ran over from Japan in a fart, but I didn't really come to be a teaching assistant to teach these Yangon mountain cannons.

"That's fine." Mrs. Sakai nodded.

"What? Ma'am, you..." Komatsu Taro didn't expect to get such an answer.

He is just expressing his position and negotiating tone, not really wanting to return to Japan.

For example, in ancient times when Genpei was fighting for hegemony, so many emperors liked to run to temples at every turn. It wasn't that they were really tired of power and wanted to be monks.Instead, he expressed his dissatisfaction with the powerful minister and the general. The courtier ran to apologize and greet His Majesty, and the emperor came back again.

Taro Komatsu expressed himself "If you do this again, hum, I will go home", which is nothing more than what he meant.

As a result, Mrs. Sakai really agreed.

What the hell is "that's fine"?

Just drive me away!
If the Emperor of Heiankyo said in the court hall that he was "tired of the troubles of the world and wanted to go to the monastery to clean up", the ministers below would slap their hands twice overjoyed, and the two barbers would hold the hot water basin. He came to the temple and said that he had intended it a long time ago, so he asked His Majesty to shave or become a monk.

It is estimated that the Emperor will be very depressed.

Komatsu Taro is a bit confused now.

"If I really want to go back, next time you ask me to come, it won't be so easy. Miss Shengzi is nice, but I'm not someone who just comes and goes..."

Taro Komatsu told himself not to panic, Mrs. Sakai was just putting on airs, and he definitely hoped that he would stay.

"Mr. Komatsu's family still has a big business to deal with, so I won't delay you here for these trivial matters. Say hello to Mr. Komatsu Kenta for me. When I return to Japan when I am free, I will go to Osaka with Kazunari to pay a visit to President Komatsu in person. "

"As for Shengzi, um, she's just an ignorant little girl, and she doesn't deserve to be missed by a young man with a bright future like you."

Mrs. Sakai said with a blank face: "When Mr. Komatsu leaves, let me know, and I will book you a first-class ticket to express my gratitude."

She is a very decisive woman.

When I found out that my daughter and Gu Weijing were walking very close, how decisive was it when I called Komatsu Taro over from Japan.

To give up Komatsu Taro now is to give up so decisively.

If you can't become a son-in-law, there is no need to have a meal and say goodbye together.

At this time, he pulled two young people and said with tears in his eyes, although the two of you can't be a partner.But the polite words that you can continue to be good friends in private, communicate with each other, and support each other are meaningless at all.

Now that I have agreed in my heart to Gu Weijing and Sakai Katsuko's relationship, it would seem very tasteless to talk to the young people of Komatsu's family here, and to be disconnected.

Given your chance, you're useless.

Saying everything clearly now is also a respect for Taro Komatsu.

"I'm going to the bathroom now."

After Mrs. Sakai tactfully expressed Komatsu Taro's intention to leave, she did not hesitate, turned around and was ready to go deep into the corridor.

"Wait a minute, I want to know, is it because of Gu Weijing?"

Taro Komatsu couldn't fool himself.

He already clearly felt the change in Mrs. Sakai's attitude towards him.

It's just that he still has a sense of unreal absurdity now.

Katsuko Sakai lost his mind, and Mrs. Sakai also lost his mind.

What a shrewd person this blond aunt is.

How could you really want to drive yourself away?

"Now that we've come to this point, let's just say it frankly. Comparing family background, talent, and future, what is the difference between me and that so-called Gu Weijing? Does he deserve to compare with me? Is it?"

Taro Komatsu gritted his teeth.

In addition to burning with jealousy, I felt more insulted.

"Well, if Mr. Komatsu really wants to know the answer."

Mrs. Sakai originally didn't want to respond to such meaningless questions.

Thinking that Taro Komatsu had indeed come to Yangon to stay in Yangon for a month because of Katsuko, she still stopped.

The blond woman turned sideways.

"First and foremost, Shengzi likes him."

"Mr. Xiaosong, I don't want to hit you either. You have your own advantages. You have a good family background. The silent efforts of ordinary painters for a lifetime can't match the effect of Xiaosong Gallery holding an art exhibition for its young owner and doing a marketing promotion. Therefore, You don't need to compare your talent with your peers, being born well is also a strength, but if you really want to compare..."

Mrs. Sakai paused for two seconds, then suddenly sneered, and looked at Taro Komatsu playfully.

"You are almost five years older than Gu Weijing, who was born in a remote area. Let's not talk about future potential, but only about current painting talent. Are you really sure that you can compare to the so-called Gu Weijing in your mouth?"

After she finished speaking, she didn't even look at Komatsu Taro, like a proud old princess, she disappeared into the depths of the corridor proudly.

Taro Komatsu stood behind him like a frozen sculpture, silent for more than ten seconds.

His face turned blue and purple, and he wanted to get angry, but he held back for some reason.

a long time,

Taro Komatsu leaned against the wall, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and clicked on the photo wall updated by Katsuko Sakai some time ago in the column of friends who are particularly concerned.

A base map of an oil painting came into view.

It is really an eye-catching work, with elegant brushstrokes and fresh and peaceful colors.

The shadows of the leaves seem to be being blown by the wind, forming a layered effect, and the look and feel of the picture is harmonious and unified.

Taro Komatsu browses Katsuko's Instagram every day, and he saw this photo shortly after it was updated.

However, Taro Komatsu was unwilling to believe that this was the manuscript created by Gu Weijing.

"What can he do, what can he do!" Taro Komatsu frowned.

There are indeed senior masters in the world who can freely integrate different art trends. He himself once followed his father to visit a master of painting who lives in Yokohama and is now over seventy years old.

This master skillfully combined the two-dimensional painting method of Nawa-e with the Brazilian artistic style with strong colonial characteristics in South America.

The media obsequiously called his achievement "Second Impressionism/Re-creation of Impressionism".

Deduct the moisture in the local media's advocacy.The old gentleman with a white beard, really relied on half a century of meticulous polishing and tireless artistic pursuit to manage such a novel painting style.

There are 80 billion people in the world, and there are also geniuses who are not born in this world.

He graduated from the Royal British Academy of Fine Arts at the age of 16, won the Pulitzer Prize for drawing comics at the age of 27, and sold oil paintings with a unit price of 30 US dollars at the age of 70.

Sakai Katsuko is one of them.

Taro Komatsu knows that he is not actually a genius. If it weren't for the help of a good family background, he would be able to soak in the hotbed of super artistic resources since he was a child.

At most, he himself can be counted as a talented painting seedling, and he can't afford to be a genius.

Taro Komatsu wasn't too discouraged.

Those great talents who can really change the history of art, who are not born with natural talents, born with spiritual luck, and can only come out in five, ten, 15 or even 50 years?

And if they want to paint great works, most of them have rough careers.

Not to mention Van Gogh, Monet was suppressed by academics, Cao Xuan experienced great changes in his family and country, and Picasso was already famous enough, but he was both an old hooligan and a misogynist.

Those romantic affairs that make outsiders look envious, those love-hate relationships between the artist and his dozen beautiful lovers.

From the perspective of posterity, every page is covered with blood and tears.

All his life he had tortured his women as well as himself.

Genius is the kiss of God on the lips of poison.

Taro Komatsu doesn't have such a talent, so he doesn't have to be envious.

But why the hell does Gu Weijing have it!
He also deserves to draw such outstanding works at this age?
Especially Ms. Sakai's affectionate and gentle accompanying text on the photo on INS - 【My love】.

Taro Komatsu looked like a fat-headed fish with thorns, and he was about to be inflated!
He took off the Ray-Ben sunglasses on his forehead and slammed them hard on the corridor floor, letting the $[-] Ferrari co-branded sunglasses shatter into pieces and bounce around.

"Fuck! Gu Weijing."
