Almighty painter

Chapter 300
Professor Boggs was a little confused. When he arrived, he arrived, and when he didn’t arrive, he didn’t arrive. Why did he have to wait for an hour and a half to appreciate some works of art?

Do you have to burn incense and change clothes?
quickly,

There is an answer to this question.

When Professor Boggs carried the cat and came to the living room on the third floor full of suspicion.

The relevant people have basically arrived.

The sound of an electric drill drilling into the wall reinforcements could be heard in the room. A worker wearing the uniform of the largest chain of electrical appliance stores in Queenstown was nailing a set of black aluminum alloy pieces to the wall of the living room. TV stand.

"What are you doing? Decoration."

Professor Boggs tugged at his beard and couldn't figure out what the method was.

"Mini-LED display, 98 inches. The same model used for online art transactions in Sotheby's VIP rooms. I also thought about replacing the digital corridor in my gallery with the same TV. But this is The new technology that has been released in the past two years is several times more expensive than ordinary TVs. Think about it, the money should be spent where it is more needed..."

Ms. Anya runs a gallery and has a clear understanding of various cutting-edge technologies, so she explained casually.

Digital technology is increasingly used in various museums and art galleries.

More and more realistic and color-restored display devices have made virtual art exhibitions and online art exhibitions possible.

The TV that the worker is installing is one of several trendy devices today.

Unlike traditional TVs, there are more than a million mini LED lamp beads on its back panel, which can independently display colors on a pixel basis.

This advantage is extremely important when expressing sharp color transitions and pigment contrast.

It not only brings a more immersive viewing experience than ordinary screens, but also goes well with playing art paintings and photography, and is loved by many galleries and art museums.

"So... Detective Cat's works are electronic versions, meow."

Professor Boggs was not interested in the details of the development of television technology.

No matter how cool the painting played on the display screen is, it can't compare to the dyeing reaction of solid paint on the linen canvas.

He captured the meaning of Ms. Anya's words.

Unhappily, the old professor grabbed the kitten's paw on his head and waved it, causing the cat to meow, expressing his disdain for him.

The assistant cast a sideways glance at Boggs's strange and strange appearance, and felt that the old guy was not far from becoming possessed and going completely crazy, so he quietly moved further away.

It was Jane Arnold who explained it herself: "It should be understood that based on the thickness of the paint drawn with the knife, it will take a long time until the oil is dry enough to be transported, plus the cost of transportation time. Even if the detective cat discovers It’s a real thing, and Ms. Anya and you...can’t wait that long.”

"Besides, since he is an anonymous illustrator, he may also have privacy concerns." The illustration master speculated.

"Who said that? I can definitely wait. There will be nothing to do when I go back."

Boggs spoke with an unhappy look on his face.

He was devastated by Detective Cat's "self-destruction" in engaging in electronic paintings.

"Electronic version... hum... electronic version, this guy really thinks of himself as an illustrator rather than a serious painter! It's disappointing, so disappointing."

If it weren't for the small remaining amount of emotional intelligence that pulled him desperately, reminding himself that the person in front of him was the most famous illustrator in the world.

Professor Boggs was already shouting like this.

Send the scanned electronic version - doesn't she know that there are two of the best knife painting artists in the world who want to compete with her!

Professor Boggs felt he had been slighted and insulted.

He came to New Zealand specifically to defeat the "Little Prince" painted on linen canvas, not to defeat the "Little Prince" printed on the covers of hundreds of thousands of fairy tale books.

The subtle difference here is enough to differentiate the top players' moves.

"Anyway, you have drawn the most perfect set of drawings on this theme. Whether the drawings of Detective Cat are real objects or scanned electronic versions is actually not that important."

Anya saw the dissatisfaction that was about to drip out of Professor Boggs's face, and advised him thoughtfully.

Artists can love money or fame.

Seeking fame and fortune is an inescapable nature in the genes of every ordinary person, but excellent artists and art lovers will always have a certain amount of infatuation deep in their souls.

This three-part infatuation is the most essential yearning and respect for outstanding works of art and master-level artistic techniques.

Professor Boggs has completely conquered female artists with his works.

After watching "Amy", Ms. Anya instantly became Professor Boggs's little crush.

The mutual love between Detective Cat and Detective Cat, who were both girls, was no match for the charm of Professor Boggs's works.

She has completely sided with Professor Boggs.

"Huh, boring. What's the point of this?"

Professor Boggs liked to hear this.

However, he couldn't change the anger in his heart, which was still released like a football with a hole poked through it.

People have no sense of expectation about a predetermined outcome.

Defeating an incomplete opponent will greatly reduce the sense of accomplishment.

This is just like before the battle between Duke Wellington and Napoleon, the entire French army suffered from diarrhea and starvation. They were sure to win, but the sense of epicness and heroism was missing too much.

This should have been the most important day in Professor Boggs' life.

In the same field, on the same theme, he trampled the detective cat under his feet.

It was the day when he was truly crowned king in the field of sword painting.

Boggs is also planning to find a way to get the Detective Cat painting back and pin it next to his "Amy".

The electronic version of the answer completely ruined his interest.

How could the professor not feel extremely regretful?

"Get ready, let's see what Detective Cat drew. Let's turn off the headlights."

The assistant prepared to import the files on the iPad in his hand into the Mini-LED display through the data cable, and his tone was a little lackluster.

The bumbling Detective Cat and the speechless Professor Boggs.

The assistant classmate doesn't know who he hates now, but he hates him more.

To him, watching the dispute between the two was like watching a dog bite a dog, and the assistant was still willing to applaud and add fuel to the fire.

Especially when he found the cold Miss Anya clinging to Boggs, with that longing and warm look in her eyes that made him envious, jealous, and hateful.

Even if there is only one percent chance.

The assistant still very much hopes that Detective Cat's work can punch this old Bangcai in the face.

Now even the last one percent possibility was eliminated when it was discovered that what Detective Cat sent was just an electronic version of the drawing.

He was probably one of the most disappointed people in the room.

Although the assistant followed Jane Arnold's instructions and bought a nearly [-]-inch high-end monitor that was more shocking when appreciating art, he was not even interested in opening and checking the color matching file in advance.

That's it, just do whatever you want.

The curtains were tightened, all the lights were turned off, and the living room on the third floor fell into a deep atmosphere like a movie theater.

After the TV is turned on, a green startup animation flashes on the screen. The cold and gorgeous light flow is lit up by millions of small LED lamp beads in sequence, as if flowing in front of everyone's eyes.

It works great.

It fully demonstrates the display effect of this most expensive treasure in the electrical appliance store, which is worth tens of thousands of dollars.

The assistant worked on the IPad and selected a file.The first work in Detective Cat's drawings was projected in front of everyone's eyes.

"what?"

"Wow, this is..."

"and many more."

"Amy."

When everyone saw the drawing on the screen clearly, various noises instantly flooded the entire quiet reception room.

The assistant opened his mouth in surprise.

He immediately thought that he had made a mistake as to why Professor Boggs's work appeared on the TV screen.

What appeared on the big screen was a work he had already seen.

The white cat is placed on Tony's head, and Tony and the cat look at each other curiously - except for the slight differences in light and shadow, movement and composition angle.

This drawing of Detective Cat is extremely similar to the work of Professor Boggs!

Did they communicate in private before creating the work?
The female artist Anya was not so exaggerated as to open her mouth wide, but she still took a deep breath, her face full of solemnity.

Because artworks are viewed from different angles, the rough vertical and horizontal fiber texture of the linen canvas and the different thicknesses of the paint will cause varying degrees of diffuse reflection of the light entering the eye.

No matter how high-tech or expensive the advanced display screen is, its surface is flat and horizontal.

Therefore, televisions, projectors and photos can never 100% imitate the original look and feel of being face-to-face with a work of art.

To use a vulgar slang in the industry, watching pictures on the screen is always - "a shock to the soul through a condom."

But throw away the mysterious and mysterious atmosphere.

Simply appreciating the technique of a work, the effect of the display screen is not bad.

Books published by English publishing houses often have small font sizes. Comparing the Chinese version and the English version of the same book, the foreign language printing style is small and thick.

This is also related to the inconsistent information content of Latin letters and hieroglyphs.

The cover size of "The Little Prince" is only 32 karat, which is half the size of an A4 paper.

Professor Boggs's "Amy" series illustrations are only the size of a standard sketch canvas of 30 cm x 40 cm.

The display area of ​​the large TV in front of me is dozens of times that of the former, and more than ten times that of the latter.

The painting of Detective Cat shown is also much larger.

Enlargement of oil paintings is not a good thing.

Although works enlarged to equal proportions can usually bring greater visual stimulation, any flaws and mistakes in the work will also be enlarged proportionally.

Those who have actually seen the "Mona Lisa" and "The Last Supper" at close range in art museums will find that the brushstrokes on the surface of the oil paintings are not without omissions.

The Mona Lisa excels in its small size.

The situation is terrible for a large mural with a long history like "The Last Supper", because the weathered paint peels off, and when you put it to the eye, it looks really rough with the pits and pits.

The works of ordinary painters cannot withstand enlargement.

It doesn’t matter if the picture is small, but after enlarging it to 50%, the incongruous body proportions, errors in shadow processing, and unsmooth brushstrokes will be very obvious and jarring.

This is the same as looking at Sophie Marceau with a magnifying glass, and you can see that the surface of the skin is full of pores.

The painting in front of her completely broke Ms. Anya's inherent concepts.

"Perfect."

After the female artist stared at the TV screen in front of her for a full 15 seconds, she had only this thought in her mind.

Professor Boggs' "Amy" is also exquisite, perfect, and shocking.

However, when the scanned version of the painting was enlarged to this point, Ms. Anya still felt that it was perfect. Every touch of the handwriting that the oil painting knife and the canvas touched was perfect and flawless.

It's not just perfect.

This is so beautiful that it's a bit scary.

Although it was an electronic photo, Ms. Anya could still imagine how exquisite the original painting was.

It simply doesn't look like something that really exists in the world, just like a beauty made of the finest mutton-fat jade.

After zooming in, you can still see the delicate and crystal clear jade.

What is even more shocking is not the impeccable technique, but compared to the first illustration of "Amy"... the work on the TV screen in front of her makes Ms. Anya feel better.

There was a set of fresh paintings that she could see and touch. Not long ago, she asserted that only twelve paintings could support a special exhibition. She ignored them, but she said that the works on the TV screen gave her a better feeling.

It's a very unreasonable thing.

Ms. Anya couldn’t explain why.

Of course she couldn't fault Professor Boggs's knife painting.

Or.

Both Professor Boggs and Detective Cat's painting skills were far better than hers, so much so that their shortcomings were not something Anya could comment on.

however.

Anya's first feeling was that she really liked the paintings on the TV screen better.

It's unreasonable, but she clearly knows that this is not her illusion.

Don't say that you expected such a result in advance.

Anya couldn't even imagine it before actually seeing Detective Cat's work.

The evaluation of Professor Boggs's work is already at the limit of the knife painting technique...but, there are actually masters?

She mentally recalled the differences between "Amy" and the sketch on the TV screen.

If you have to tell me why.

Probably this painting is going to...

Be more genuine.

Want it to be moister too?

"It's weird, it doesn't make sense, how is it possible, how could it be done."

Professor Boggs' brows were like rotating clockwork, loosening and tightening at one time and another. He clenched his teeth and stared at the screen in front of him, as if he was about to stick his neck into the TV.

Ms. Anya’s feelings are not an illusion.

He also felt the greatness of this work for the first time...even, it was no worse than his "Amy".

"No worse than my paintings!!!"

When he realized what he was thinking, Professor Boggs dilated his nostrils and blew out two thick, hot breaths.

He's going crazy.

Simple fact.

If an opponent can tie you even after taking laxatives, wouldn't she be in full condition?
