Almighty painter

Chapter 62 Anna's Wrath

The last picture frame with its back to the audience was also turned over by Anna at this moment.

"Jane Arnold, isn't she?"

This time, she didn't even mean to ask Thomas who the author of this work was, so she said it in a very firm tone.

"Of course, in the illustration world, besides this famous old artist, who else's works are worth millions of dollars?"

Anna looked at the illustrations in the frame.

Anna, who was merciless when criticizing Van Dorn, became gentle when describing this old artist with a legendary life experience.

"Mr. Jane Arnold is respected as [Warm Christmas Tree] in the painting world. His works have warmed generations of children."

"About this painting, there is nothing left to be evaluated by art critics. Everything that the painter wants to convey to people has already been expressed in the painting."

The last painting that appeared in people's eyes turned out to be a crayon drawing.

If colored pencils are the novice graffiti of elementary school students in the audience's impression, then crayon drawings are kindergarten toys.

But what this painting presents to people is not childish.

But playful.

Warmth - is the theme of this painting.

The entire Batman series of stories, except for money ability, are all in the dark and gloomy adult black fairy tale style.

Just like the English literal translation of Gotham City, it is a city of fools and a city of sin.

This crayon drawing is a completely different style,

The style of the brush is gentle and delicate, and the sky behind is a round of red sun fixed on the sea level, like the sun at dusk, and like the dawn before dawn.

Although the sky will be dark and bright, the tone of the whole illustration is not gloomy at all.

A brilliant halo drives out the darkness, and it is Batman, or Mr. Hyperion in his bat-cloak, that illuminates the city.

Jane Arnold cleverly replaced the tacky Franklin bill waving in Thomas's photo with a burning fire.

Only a half-burnt banknote is left in the corner of the picture.

The flame in Batman's hand in the picture is rendered with a warm and dreamy luster by various warm-colored crayons, which makes people think of the burning hope in the hands of the little match girl described by Andersen many years ago. matches.

Someone commented in the comment area.

"Although I don't know much about art, the look of this painting makes my whole heart warm."

"Compared to the same colored pencil drawing in the previous photo, which one do you like better?"

"It's almost the same, but if I were Mr. Hyperion, I would definitely like this painting more. The concept and idea of ​​this painting are really great."

"For illustration, this drawing is perfect, I hope—" Anna looked at Thomas on the side.

"Of course, in addition to the $100 million I donated to the Children's Foundation under Mr. Jane Arnold's name, I will donate another $1000 million to set up my own Children's Charity Foundation."

Before Anna could finish speaking, Thomas spoke directly.

He really likes this illustration.

At the moment of receiving this painting, Thomas not only liked it, it was an extreme surprise.

Fine art or something doesn't matter.

The main reason is that this painting is too suitable for his program.

After he became famous, he was criticized for relying on the eyeball effect, and there are many people who start their fortunes without any brains. Of course, this is also true.

Now, just the composition and conception of this painting is a perfect interpretation of the value of my video.

Not only does it cleverly fit the theme of Batman, but it also perfectly fits the slogan of Thomas' channel [Share the interesting world with everyone].

At least for Thomas himself, it cost millions of dollars to buy such a painting.Compared with spending tens of millions of dollars to buy Gauguin, Monet, Van Gogh, and Picasso, it is much more meaningful and worthwhile.

After preparing for a period of time, he took this illustration as his homepage profile picture on Youtube and Twitter.

The comment section exploded again.

Mr. Hyperion has always been known for his generosity, but this is the first time he suddenly decided to donate 1000 million US dollars after seeing a painting.

"Shocking, this is the charm of a great artist."

"Mr. Hyperion is great!"

"Come on!!! I support you."

"This is no better than the group of idiots on Twitch next door (the largest game live streaming platform in Europe and America) holding spinach advertisements and broadcasting live gambling in front of millions of fans."

……

"I think this is what the old artist expects of you."

Anna stared at the crayon drawing for a few seconds.

"The value of an illustration lies in its background story. Although you are not Roosevelt, if you keep going. I think one day this painting may really be worth 100 million dollars in the market."

"Miss Yi Lianna, how do you rate the three paintings? I think the audience is looking forward to your evaluation."

asked Thomas.

"Seven out of ten"

"Compared with the second picture, the first colored pencil drawing that I dug out had obvious muscle deformation and mistakes in using the pen, but it is still a good enough illustration. I can give it seven points.

As for Jane Arnold's work, whether it is concept or composition, I can hardly imagine a better crayon drawing than this one. It is almost perfect, so I give it a ten. "

Anna's fingers tapped the first colored pencil drawing and Jane Arnold's crayon drawing.

"As for this work..."

She stared at the painting for a long time.

"Would you give it another perfect 10 too?"

Thomas asked.

For some reason, he could feel that Anna had always shown a special preference for the illustration in her hand.

But at this moment, when scoring, it was the same as when admiring the painting just now, the other party seemed to fall into an inexplicable unhappiness at last?

"No... I can clearly say that I love this work, but this artist doesn't deserve my full marks." She sneered.

"why?"

Many viewers who watched the video recalled that scene at this moment——

When the other party admired the painting with a magnifying glass, the last expression he showed seemed to be somewhere between looking at a boyfriend who had been in chaos and abandoned or an unreasonable lunatic.

And the last comment of the young lady of the judges - "A hopeless fool."

This made everyone wonder whether the other party liked or disliked the illustration.

But in the subsequent recording process, didn't the judge lady in the wheelchair always show appreciation and praise?

"First of all, I deduct points for emotion. I can't see any emotion in this painting except for seriousness. But for illustrations, emotion is not the key. People are used to referring to illustrators as sending passengers off. A driver going to a destination, the driver doesn't need much extra emotion."

Ana put the colored pencil illustration she had been holding back on the table.

"In fact, compared to the other five works, the mood of this painting is not bad. Even if it is simple and serious, it is better than the picture of Mr. Van Dorn, who is clearly emotionless, but behaves like a lunatic. better."

"Its emotion is just a lack of comparison with Jane Arnold's crayon illustrations that can make people feel warm at first sight."

Anna's tone suddenly became colder: "What really makes me unacceptable, unreasonable, and unbearable is the artist's handling of this painting."

"This painter has shown mastery in all the most difficult details, but when it comes to things that can be easily done by any one person, he does it so that I want to go crazy."

"In order to achieve the best results for water-soluble colored pencil drawings, painters usually use special special fine-grained watercolor paper, even if it is cheaper and ordinary watercolor paper, it is not unacceptable."

Ana pointed to another colored pencil drawing. "For example, this painting is painted on very professional paper with water-soluble colored pencils. This is professionalism."

"Ordinary watercolor paper is not expensive. Even the best thick watercolor cotton core paper produced in England costs only about 80 euros for a pack of ten sheets. On average, each paper is not as expensive as a hamburger."

"And what about this artist? It turned out to be the most common student sketch paper. Hell, why didn't he just use printing paper to draw without being greedy for cheap?"

"Although sketch paper is not like ordinary printing paper, it has almost no ability to hold lead, but its paper is very delicate. In addition to the advantage of being cheap, it is not suitable for professional colored lead painting. This artist draws very well, But this does not prevent the final picture from appearing a lot of white noise that could have been avoided.”

Anna's fingers pinched together thinly.

She has artistic obsessive-compulsive disorder.Looking at this piece of drawing paper is like looking at a beautiful woman who is overwhelmed by the country but has been artificially dotted with a few spots.

"What's more, what kind of irresponsible and foolish painter actually behaves like abandoning this masterpiece of art after painting it?

I didn't see him taking any effort to protect the painting. Not only was it not covered with a protective film, but he didn't even spray the most basic fixative, and it was mailed away. "

"Just like that - the naked, naked, naked ones were put in envelopes by the artist and sent away by irresponsible mail!!! When I observed with a magnifying glass, I saw at least five pencils and Stains from external friction."

"What kind of irresponsible fool is he?"

The more Anna talked, the more angry she became. She couldn't tolerate this kind of blasphemy against art. The iceberg lady almost turned into a volcano.

She was even gritting her silver teeth when she finally spoke.

"Nine points, don't blame me, it's all that fool asked for."
