Almighty painter

Chapter 497: The road to opening a sect (additional update of the leader of Budu Yuyu)

"One percent is 3.7%, and the other is 5.1%? That's too stingy. Doesn't it mean that we have to water it an average of twenty or thirty times before we can expect the Baiyi tree to grow the next branch? It takes tens of thousands of experience points. It’s worth it.”

Gu Weijing whispered to himself.

The probability was lower than he thought.

If you water it once, there is only a few tenths of the chance of new branches sprouting.

This is not a small probability.

This is a very unlikely lottery event.

He noticed that even the chances of luck between the two were not great.

There is still a slight difference of 1.4% in the probability between [scratching method] and [finger smear method].

His original basic mastery of the two acrobatic skills was also different.

The scratch method is included in the system standards.

Gu Weijing's mastery level is "none".

In other words, he has absolutely no knowledge of this craft.

Very normal.

Gu Weijing's exposure to the scratching method was limited to reading extracurricular articles.

The kind of level that tests the final written examination of art history.

He had never really tried to use a penholder, comb, or knife to play with the meticulous techniques of color carving in actual painting before.

Most of the students in the Art High School were like him.

All this miscellaneous stuff.

Whether you draw with your fingers, a pen or an oil painting knife, there is one thing in common, that is, it is easy to learn but difficult to master.

Just put it on and smear it with oil paint, and a three-year-old child can do it.

But if you want to break through the scope of a three-year-old child and draw something a little more mature.

Just like oil painting and watercolor, these major subjects are no different and require continuous practice over many years.

No pain no gain.

For all art students, it is difficult to take shortcuts when it comes to technical proficiency.

Rembrandt's ability to master the scratching method is the result of decades of continuous research, speculation, and practice based on his strong personal interest.

Rembrandt originally liked to use strong contrast between light and dark lines.

This technique coincides with his painting style. The energy he invested in the scratching method may not be much less than the energy invested in the oil brush.

Even so.

Perhaps Rembrandt was not the only painter who was interested in the thin strips of scratching. There were also many people who were willing to invest a lot of time and energy.

Only Rembrandt was able to truly understand and paint a bright color in his work...

These miscellaneous and unpopular painting techniques are just like those masters who use the "yin and yang judge pen" in martial arts. The energy required to practice may not be less than using a sword.

But it depends more on the painter's affinity and wisdom for these techniques.

People who are not good at these skills will find it difficult to use them smoothly even if they invest a lot of time.

The reason why miscellaneous items are miscellaneous items is because, after all, they are just icing on the cake.

Being able to use the pen to decorate the beard in portraits can naturally show the unique characteristics of a painter.

But no, I can still draw almost exactly the same with an oil paintbrush.

Don’t take the entrance exam to the Academy of Fine Arts and take the art route, unless you need to form a strong personal style after signing up for a gallery, or turn it into a personal unique painting signature like Professor Anya and Pogba.

Otherwise, the initial input-output ratio will not be high.

With so much free time, for most ordinary art students, it is not as useful as studying the five major aspects of painting, speculating on colors, lines, and structures.

As for his finger smearing method, the system's evaluation is "introductory".

It should have barely reached the most basic threshold of the six major level standards of skills: entry, ordinary, excellent, master, perfect, and legendary.

It must have been these days that he continued to use his fingers to try to blend the excessive colors of "Good Luck Orphanage Under the Sun" after receiving the guidance of Katsuko.

This 1.4% slight difference in watering probability.

This is probably where it comes from.

Gu Weijing was a little puzzled.

The system panel clearly marked that his Hua Dao Hua was of "Legendary Level" level.

But since you have already started using the finger smear method, why can’t you see the level prompt for the finger smear method?
and.

After he finished painting the work "Good Luck Orphanage Under the Sun", the system's virtual panel only had numerical panels for Chinese painting, oil painting, and sketching.

Like knife painting, the finger smearing method is not counted as an independent painting element.

Gu Weijing glanced around and found a small translucent question mark on the upper right side of the branch panel for watering the Baiyi tree.

He clicked the icon carefully.

As a result, relevant prompts immediately popped up on the panel.

[There are hundreds of miscellaneous skills, which are easy to learn but difficult to master. If you just dabble widely and do more research, you can reach the heights of skills. It is meaningless for creation, and the painter consumes too much energy for it, which does not bring much benefit. Therefore, until miscellaneous techniques reach "refinement", they will not be independently displayed on the technique panel. 】

[At the same time, if the miscellaneous technical elements in the work want to become a stylistic element with a strong sense of presence in the painting, it is neither sensational nor boring, which requires higher standards. Before the techniques reached the "master" level, there were no specialized single-element painting methods like finger painting, newspaper painting, or knife painting. Then miscellaneous techniques are only counted into the sub-painting techniques under the five categories of Chinese painting, oil painting, watercolor, drawing and printmaking, and are not included as separate painting styles. 】

Gu Weijing took a big sip of soy milk.

After reading it several times, I roughly figured out the system's standards.

There are too many miscellaneous related drawing methods.

Therefore, only those who have reached the level of excellence will be considered to have truly mastered the unpopular painting techniques that can provide advantages that other creators cannot match in the painting process.

And if you want to develop towards the great ambition of "opening a sect and establishing a sect".

Become the most famous legendary painter of the Baroque Golden Age like Rembrandt, or be like Castiglione, who combines the technical advantages of sketching, Chinese painting, and oil painting, melting them into one under the fingertips, and turning them into a "new style" A new technique for painting.

Even advanced level skills are still not enough.

Sophisticated miscellaneous scratches or finger smudges can only be regarded as part of a larger classification of painting techniques.

Just like many scholars believe that painting with an oil painting knife is just an unpopular painting method of oil painting, and it is not qualified to be called an independent painting school at all.

A meaning.

Low-level miscellaneous skills can give creators more room to play freely, and also allow them to play with small details that ordinary painters do not have.

It can add color to your original oil painting and make your emotional expression smoother.

however.

Considering the role it plays in the entire painting process, it is still not qualified to be called a new painting style pioneered by painters that combines different elements.

The system is very strict in classifying "painting schools".

for example.

After Miss Sakai had an idea, Gu Weijing directly tried to mix the paint with her fingers to reconcile the differences in different painting styles.

He once said with great admiration that Miss Sakai created a new painting school.

[New body painting-Miss Sakai School].

But this statement is untenable in a system with extremely strict evaluation standards.

Sakai Katsuko's concept may have some meaning beyond that of the ancients.

The technical expression between the canvases is still too poor.

The hands cannot keep up with the brain, and the skills cannot keep up with the ambition. The final effect of the work presented at this level can at best be regarded as a supplement and improvement to the original "new body painting".

Only those who have reached the technical level of a famous artist or above can support the connotation of a fusion painting style.

Only Katsuko Sakai is extremely skilled in the brushstrokes created by her fingers, and can provide a texture look and feel that cannot be captured by oil paintings, Chinese paintings, and sketches.

Got to that point.

Only with this kind of innovation can he bear the title of [New Body Painting - Sakai Katsuko School].

and many more?

[New body painting—Sakai Katsuko School]?
Gu Weijing imagined such a future with fascination.

The black eyes reflected the air washed by the heavy rain outside the window, slightly clear.

suddenly.

He felt that the system was not so stingy anymore.

Knife painting is not suitable to be integrated into his current painting route, but the finger smearing method is particularly suitable!

Yup!

Didn't Miss Katsuko already find a way for him?

In the past, based on the new body painting, they created a painting method that only belonged to them, which was more of a joke.

But if the level is raised to the legendary level... this matter will instantly change from a joke to something serious.

Finger application method.

It is naturally suitable for smoothing out transitions between various pigment values ​​and tones.

Also suitable for smoothing out style gaps between different techniques.

As long as you handle the oil paint texture transition smoothly enough.

Then it can be like a steamroller, tightly integrating the painting styles of different cultures into one on the canvas.

A combination of Chinese painting, oil painting, sketching + finger painting.

If you can integrate these painting elements in the same work, wouldn't it already have the potential to create a new painting school?

Again--

This is the supreme achievement of establishing a sect!
In the tens of thousands of years since the first Australopithecus descended from a tree and tried to draw unconscious graffiti lines on the cave wall with stones, and since the birth of the concept of art, among countless living beings, this was started by you. The painting method of Li is a brand new chapter that you have written for the history of art.

It is a painting method that belongs only to you... Well, at most it can be regarded as the painting method of Gu Weijing and Miss Sakai.

As long as the painting methods they create are beautiful enough and vital enough, they can conquer enough audiences.

So as long as the concept of art does not decay, they will not decay.

And all this, as long as he is willing to water the Baiyi tree a few more times, seems to have the possibility of blossoming and bearing fruit and becoming a reality.

of course.

This will be a lot of free experience, and it is not something he can collect before this year's Singapore Biennale.

However, once successful, the rewards obtained are far from being comparable to winning an award at the Singapore Biennale by relying on tricks of painting style.

Having your own painting school is the true path to artistic success.

Mashi Gallery was willing to spend a lot of money to sign him because it valued his potential rather than the new body painting method.

He won one or two prizes for this painting method, and it was not difficult for him to earn hundreds of thousands.

But the upper limit is also limited to a certain extent by the new body painting.

No matter how poor Mashi Gallery is, it is still a gallery worth hundreds of millions of euros, and it is not so rare to have a painting method that can earn hundreds of thousands.

It is impossible for Gu Weijing to truly reach the position of a top master by being "The Second Castiglione".

It is difficult for him to become the next billionaire by just painting the new body paintings studied by his predecessors.

But if it was [New Body Painting - Sakai Katsuko School] that was just talked about at first, once it became popular.

It's very possible.

Thinking of this, Gu Weijing no longer struggled with the choice.

The scratching method is also great, of course.

But compared to the infinite possibilities created by combining the finger smear method with his current unique skills, the priority suddenly became low.

[Are you sure you want to select (finger smearing method) as the irrigation direction? whether】

Gu Weijing chose OK.

The next moment.

It rained on the system panel, a virtual cloud floated by, and water dripped down from the silver Baiyi tree.

After a few seconds.

The clouds dispersed and the rain stopped.

Gu Weijing vaguely felt that the Baiyi tree on the panel seemed to be slightly thicker, and there was a vague "beep" sound of bamboo branches growing after the rain.

It seems that some new branches will break out from under the bark of the tree in the next moment.

Regrettably.

There was no surprise. After all, this attempt, with a probability of only 1/20, ended in failure.

[Unfortunately, you have not been able to upgrade the Miscellaneous Finger Smudge Technique from (Basic) to (Legendary). 】

[You have obtained an additional 2.1% cumulative success rate! 】

[The probability of success for the next watering is 7.2% (Note: You can increase the success probability of this item by trying to improve miscellaneous techniques by yourself, or by accumulating multiple waterings). 】

Gu Weijing looked at this prompt and raised his eyebrows slightly.

It’s important to manage expectations well.

After seeing the original 5.1% probability of successful watering, Gu Weijing did not think that he could become the kind of European emperor who won the big prize. He knew that the probability of an orange coming out was very low.

Originally, I had accepted these 1000 experience points, but there was a high probability that I would end up in vain.

Unexpectedly, I found that the result of irrigation failure was not nothing, but could instead accumulate the success rate of the next Baiyi tree sprouting.

Gu Weijing was even a little surprised.

He took another look at the Baiyi tree and the balance of more than 4,000 free experience points, resisted the urge to water it a few more times, and turned off the panel.

Mr. Cao used paintings to observe people and felt that Gu Weijing was very calm.

Even in the past, Gu Weijing was not a very gambling person.

When going out to play, when buying a lottery machine at the amusement park, he was always the one who used up the two lottery tickets that came with the Ferris wheel ticket and left.

Never buy more.

Even Miss Mona would appear to be more ambitious than him, insisting that the two of them take out a pair of dolls.

Go home one by one.

If you can only rely on irrigation to gamble on luck, there is no other way.

He is willing to take care of the classics when necessary.

But if the system has prompted him, he can also improve the success rate of irrigation to a certain extent by doing research and practice on the finger smear method.

Gu Weijing is willing to spend a few weeks to systematically study the specific details of the finger application method.

Rather than simply relying on playing a game of luck.

In any case, it can save a little free experience points, yes.
