Almighty painter

Chapter 429 Cover Painting "Queen"

"Well, uh uh uh, we can start in a few days, right... Well, I will thank Mr. Chen, um, yes, you can just watch it for me..."

Awang smelled the smell of oil paint, his nose itched and he sneezed when he woke up from the cat's sleeping mat.

It was already afternoon.

Gu Weijing was stirring the oil painting knife in the pen washer with one hand and calling Uncle Alai on his mobile phone with the other hand, concerned about the progress of his children's free clinic project.

“Accept the imperfections in your life and endure all the gifts of destiny.”

Mr. Cao's speech gave Gu Weijing a new understanding of the system panel.

In the past, Gu Weijing always had some inexplicable and complicated emotions. He felt that the gifts given to him by the system were like the glass slippers and pumpkin carriage given to Cinderella by the fairy.

There is an uneasy feeling that suddenly disappears when you wake up after a long night of sweet dreams.

Now he had a different feeling.

The artistic perception of neither breaking nor establishing is part of his painting life.

The experience value and improvement in pen proficiency brought by the system are also part of his painting life.

In terms of pure talent, he is definitely not bad.

But it's probably not as good as Shengzi or Tangning, at least in terms of the educational environment they received.

The art path is sometimes slow one step at a time and slow step by step.

The system gave him a rope ladder to climb to the top of the mountain faster and shorten the gap.

You should make good use of it yourself.

In terms of the emotional depth of his paintings, Gu Weijing is proud of himself. Mr. Cao Xuan said that when he was eighteen years old, he could not paint such a layered work.

What reason does he have for belittling himself?

Life has given him such a gift, so naturally he should make good use of these resources and walk on two legs.

Make yourself stronger as quickly as possible.

Next time, he didn't want to rely on luck to escape from a malicious attack by someone like Sir Brown.

When Gu Weijing was full of confidence, full of expectations and impatient to look forward to the next stage of painting techniques.

Open the panel.

Only then did he realize that he was really poor now.

Gu Weijing now has very little free experience left. Even if he wants to use calligraphy and painting appraisal skills on a daily basis, he has to make careful calculations.

The second level of the Lv.5 profession is the last stage before reaching the master level. The third level of the Lv.6 profession requires the accumulation of a full experience points.

And he currently has three second-level painting techniques for his profession.

Sketching is less than 3000 points, oil painting is almost 4000 points, and the highest level of Chinese painting techniques is just over 5000 points.

In other words.

He is still 18000 experience points short of reaching the next stage of the three painting methods.

Converted into an exchange ratio, that's a full 180,000 US dollars.

If Gu Weijing wants to scold the system for being evil, then he really has no conscience.

Simply improving a skill from level 5 to level 6 often requires several years of hard work.

should say.

Under normal circumstances, whether an ordinary painter can reach level 6 below the master and above ten thousand people in his lifetime is a very small probability event.

Don’t you see, my grandfather Gu Tongxiang is the teacher of Dulwich College.

Hey, hey, hey, I've been painting all my life, but I can't even touch the second level of my profession? This is the true portrait of the vast majority of art practitioners.

Who said that 18 US dollars can be worth a lifetime of hard work for many people.

Even if Mr. Gu is so calculating and stingy, he would like to break a penny into two flowers. Knowing that such a thing happens, he has to peck his teeth, touch his bald head, give a thumbs up and call it a good deal. .

Gu Weijing is not short of the US$180,000.

The next payment from Scholastic Group is already due in the third quarter, but the royalties and shares he has already remitted to his account amount to a small amount of 300,000.

The problem is that.

His current financial situation is quite embarrassing.

It is still far from being a large-scale private charity foundation with a large-scale systematic operation and hundreds of employees. The normal expenses of one or two local orphanages simply cannot afford such a large amount of money.

So he hurriedly called and asked about the free children's clinic project planned for him by the Schönbrunn Office in cooperation with the community hospital, which he had not asked much about since leaving it to Uncle Alai.

What stage of development is it at now?

The situation went much smoother than Gu Weijing imagined.

Uncle Alai once described Yangon, with the clouds of unrest hanging overhead, as a smoldering sauna furnace.

Doing things in the hazy water vapor always feels like it's cloudy and unsatisfactory.

Good guys, bad guys, bureaucrats, businessmen, underworld, politicians... everything is shrouded in a fog that makes it difficult to see clearly. It is impossible to distinguish between evil and monsters, and it is impossible to distinguish between good and evil.

Doing something completely bad may not be as difficult as many people think.

And doing a truly good deed may not be as easy as many people think.

If you want to spend such a large amount of charity money, there will always be someone who wants to take a bite.

It's not a big deal.

Those who want to make a profit from it even with two to three million US dollars are often not tycoons. Assistants like Uncle Alai or Schönbrunn Palace Office can find ways to deal with it.

Either spend money or spend time.

But in short, it's disgusting. Gu Weijing suffered a loss from that nagging Claire Foundation, and changed to doing things by himself, just to do good things cleanly.

It would be too boring to take some money and spend it up and down to feed the big cats and kittens.

So I dragged it slowly.

Gu Weijing was mentally prepared. Before going to Singapore to participate in the art exhibition, it would be great to have feedback on the results and gain experience points in hand.

This time he communicated with Alai on the phone and learned that all the difficulties in the matter had been solved.

It was Chen Shenglin who helped.

Ever since that meeting at the orphanage, Boss Chen has been very curious and helpful to him.

He is the president of the entire Yangon Chamber of Commerce and the honorary chairman of the All Myanmar Charity Association.

After learning about Gu Weijing's free clinic project from other channels.

The secretary took the initiative to call and said that if he didn't mind, the charity foundations on both sides could cooperate, and Boss Chen could help promote the progress of the project.

The so-called "cooperation" means that the secretary has a very high emotional intelligence.

It's obviously promoting them.

No matter how poor Yangon is, it is still the king among monkeys. Boss Chen is also the "Monkey King" of Southeast Asia.

A junior like Gu Weijing had just made a little fortune.

At most, he can be regarded as one of the kittens, Awang, who is more able to show his teeth and claws.

Chen Shenglin may not be as good as the Malaysian shipping king, or maybe not as good as the Elena family, but he is also a member of the serious "Billionaire" billionaire club.

His annual donations to the Yangon Charity Chamber of Commerce are in the order of millions or tens of millions of dollars, which is simply not something that Gu Weijing's "Jasmine Foundation", which is still playing like a house, can touch the porcelain. It's called cooperation, but in fact it's just the kindness and cuteness of the big boss Nian Gu Wei Jing, and a little care.

Yangon is a relatively closed society.

Those big guys and little guys who want to make money may not be afraid of Schonbrunn, which is mainly engaged in financial investment. Everyone is playing the same thing.

But facing a big man like Chen Shenglin who made a fortune locally and has great connections.

It's really a ghost encountering a life-threatening ghost, and the main thing is to prescribe the right medicine.

He was taken care of in an instant and was very docile and well-behaved.

Look at this situation.

Maybe in a few weeks, he will be able to get the free experience points rewarded by the system, and even the expected conversion loss of various necessary labor expenses will be almost negligible.

A beautiful thing.

"Hey! Unfortunately, the art collection donated by Miss Elena actually has nothing to do with me."

Gu Weijing hung up the phone and sniffed.

Suddenly, he is likely to have obtained countless top art masters such as Monet, Van Gogh, and Renoir. He could not have it in his lifetime, and he could not even imagine it. Super impressive achievements - a comprehensive comprehensive project named after himself Large art museum.

Regrettably.

A harsh system will not take the initiative to take this astronomical donation to itself just because the museum is called "Detective Cat."

That’s a full US$50 billion! ! !

The experience bar that can be upgraded to the next level can be piled up a hundred thousand times, and there is still enough left.

Even if he fantasizes about it casually, Gu Weijing feels like he is swaying like he is drunk and his heartbeat is pounding faster.

Even if only a small part can fall into his pocket.

Gu Weijing could also immediately show the shameless face of a krypton gold player to the system, shout "Sister, I don't want to work hard anymore", and completely lie down.

"But indeed, I really want to thank this Miss Elena, are you right, Awang?"

Gu Weijing smiled.

He put his phone on the table to the side and lowered his head to look for his cat.

Only then did I realize that King Ngawang had already wandered out for a walk without showing any dignity.

Nga Wang doesn’t seem to like the smell of unset paint.

It’s not that she doesn’t like any paint, the water-soluble paint is okay. From the fact that she can sit on it without any guilt and leave a straight butt pattern on Mr. Gu’s beloved peony picture, it can be seen that she is just innocent. I am a little allergic to the linseed oil smell of oil painting thinner.

and so.

When Gu Weijing was painting in a small space like his bedroom.

Awang would often wander out to chase butterflies in disgust.

That's fine. When Gu Weijing completed the most important painting for "The Blazing World", he was not disturbed in any way.

[Title of work: Queen]

[Painting Techniques: Knife Painting·Legendary Level]

[Emotion: Feeling something in the heart (completeness)]

This is a large-size work of 24*36 inches, which is centimeters wide and about centimeters long.

Compared with Gu Weijing's previous knife-painting works, the composition accommodates more scenery.

The length is also much larger.

It was a scene of a military port in the rain.

The hazy sea breeze blows from the corners of the scroll to the center, zigzag lightning flashes on the iron-gray sky, the waves are roaring, and the wind is also roaring.

Gu Weijing seems to be an experienced cake decorator.

With extraordinary patience and unimaginable exquisite cutting skills, the raging waves were carved out almost foam by foam.

Multi-masted ships were bobbing in the harbor.

Although their sails were all firmly furled.

But even if you just look at the tilt of the warships in the deep-water port, they are rolled up by the waves. Only Kan Gu Weijing drew on the dragging plane lines favored by the American painter Whist of the last century to express the psychedelic night, and used the metal side edge of the oil painting knife full of tension to pull out the twisted feeling of the ship's plank.

Viewers looking at this picture can instantly imagine the feeling of those durable, fine and thick oak keels making a terrible "creak" friction sound under the squeeze of the tide.

Just cut the rope and lower the sail.

In the next second, these multi-masted battleships will disappear into the turbulent and unknown night like bows and arrows.

And even more eye-catching than battleships and storms.

It's those giants of the sea.

Gu Weijing used the mottled and unpredictable skin tones that painter Rouault, known as the "artist of darkness and death", likes to use, to highlight the centuries-old bark left behind by these giants after being devastated by war. The same rough eyebrows and appearance.

The temperament of these war giants, the template that Gu Weijing imagined in his mind, was actually Uncle Alai.

But when all this is expressed with a knife instead of a brush, it has a different flavor.

Except for the giants.

There are also feathered men with human heads and iron wings, and colorful fish monsters... The scene in this painting is like a Western fantasy version of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", or the illustration collection accompanying Ptolemy's map (Note).

(Note: An early map from the Middle Ages marked with various weird octopuses, hundred-eyed giants, man-eating krakens and other early human fantasy monsters.)

Every scene.

From the farthest birds to the nearby giants, Gu Weijing put a lot of effort into painting.

I also spent a lot of effort to coordinate the transitions, so that any of these painting methods, which are rare in the field of painting, can be harmoniously unified in the same drawing.

If only Professor Boggs had obtained the sketch of this painting.

The other party will definitely be fascinated by it, wishing he could just watch it for three days and three nights, hugging her even to sleep.

In this painting, he can see Whist, Oulu, Titian, Modigliani, Munch, and countless famous painters throughout the ages, who prefer to use oil painting knives when painting. Shadows of tips when shaping.

There are even some alternative expressions of oriental brushwork techniques that he had never thought of before using the oil painting knife.

This painting.

It is similar to the "Compilation of Drawing Knife Painting Techniques" summarized by Jianghu Bai Xiaosheng. There are so many places to play with.

But what Gu Weijing is most proud of is still the shadow on the cliff by the sea.

It was an attempt to create something that had never been done by any famous painting artist, and it was Gu Weijing's own unique expression.

It is even a more profound and interesting expression than the text of the story itself.

"Sorry, Duchess of Newcastle, that's a bit arrogant to say, but you should be really proud of this painting."

Gu Weijing murmured to himself as he admired the work on the canvas in front of him.

Although the cover painting of "The Little Prince" is of the "painstaking" level, Gu Weijing can only say that he tried his best to restore and vividly portray the protagonist of the story.

But dare not say it.

Can go beyond the story of Saint-Exupéry.

However, in this "Queen", Gu Weijing had the confidence to say such a thing.
