Chapter 23 It turns out that I am really a painting genius
Chapter 23 It turns out that I am really a painting genius
After owning the system, the skill data that Li Yan is most curious about is drawing.
Before his rebirth, all of his relatives and friends thought that Li Yan had the greatest talent in painting, to the point where they could willingly call him a genius.
But he didn't deserve it.
As the saying goes, there is no first in writing and no second in martial arts.
In today's era, aesthetics has become a state where everyone has their own opinions.
In the general environment, the saying "whatever I like is good" is rampant, and "painting level" seems to be gradually reaching a point where there is no standard for judgment.
Of course, this is based on the general public's view. In the real art and painting circles, the rough classification can still be judged.
The problem is that Li Yan has never learned it, and he is not a "professional" one.
This put him in a very contradictory state. He felt a little inferior, always feeling that he had not received systematic aesthetic education, so he had no say in "aesthetics", and accordingly could not judge the level of his own painting.
After all, there are some simple drawings that you think are not worth mentioning, but there are still a large group of people praising them. So what does it matter if your own sketch is praised as "very realistic"?
At least before college, Li Yan could not deeply understand the meaning of "highbrow and unpopular".
But at the same time he was very proud because he firmly believed that he had a talent for painting, as evidenced by the fact that his junior high school art teacher repeatedly asked him whether he had received any painting training.
I haven't learned anything, but I have all kinds of skills.
No need to be taught, you can figure it out on your own.
And the most amazing thing is that although he has a passion for painting, it is not a high priority.
That is to say, I am very serious when painting, but only once a month.
However, even if there is a gap of several months, you can still have new insights and improvements.
Thinking back to this... "Did I also have a painting system before I was reborn?"
Unfortunately, Li Yan could not recall the words of her teacher from the First Academy of Fine Arts during her college years:
"Sketch like Li Yan's is fast, accurate and ruthless, which is what is most needed in the art exam!"
Otherwise, his confidence should still be +1.
Out of curiosity about the data, Li Yan tried to draw a landscape sketch, which he was best at, early on, but the system did not respond at all.
"Perhaps the base value is too high to be improved?"
He found a pleasant excuse for himself, and then focused on improving the skills that needed improvement more.
Now Li Xinyuan actually asked to see the paintings, which really walked into the trap.
He agreed very readily. After searching for a long time, he couldn't find the eight-page sketch paper he usually used, so there was only four-page paper.
"So...what should I draw?"
"Just paint this vase. I think it's pretty nice."
Li Xinyuan pointed to a fat blue vase in the living room.
Why do I feel like the questions are the same as those given by art exam teachers?
That's good, he likes challenges.
So the two of them moved to the small desk in the living room. The textbooks and exercise books placed on the desk for "studying" were now in the way.
Li Yan rarely paints in front of others, so she is a little nervous about it.
However, the study committee member is very good at studying, but he knows nothing about painting.
"Please start, great painter."
There was no paint at home, so he could only draw a sketch with pencil. The great painter Li Yan confidently picked up the pen, and then he was dumbfounded.
This vase is a bit old, wide and plump, with a reflective blue-green glaze on the surface.
The shape is not prominent, the material is difficult to depict, and the most exciting feature is the color. And Li Yan is holding a pencil.
I don’t know where my parents got these things from. There are no flowers on it. It’s just empty in the corner of the living room.
"Your parents have great taste. This vase is very pretty."
Okay... Li Yan was speechless, feeling even more nervous. After losing its most obvious feature, color, how could he restore the vase?
What he is best at is restoration, but this time the topic obviously won't make it easy for him.
“How do you express blue using the relationship between black and white?”
Obviously, this vase has a kind of temperament, but this temperament comes from the blue-green color that was very high-end at that time. In fact, more than ten years later, this color is still the best choice for porcelain that wants to show noble temperament.
How to draw temperament?
Li Yan did not realize at the time that his starting point for painting was already a manifestation of his talent.
What is worrying him now is that Li Xinyuan is watching him right next to him, and an inexplicable anxiety is creeping into his heart.
The weather isn't that hot, so the sweat on my forehead could only have other reasons.
Forget it, I’m not trying to show off my presence, painting is my own business.
The four mental skills came into play, preventing the child's unique sense of face from dominating his brain.
Observe carefully and experience it carefully. The noble and elegant temperament of this vase comes from its color, but its shape is simple and clumsy. The combination of the two forms a wonderful temperament of the urban-rural junction.
No, it’s more than just these two effects. The transparent glaze enhances the aristocratic temperament, and the unrefined texture brings back the cheap feeling...
Each feature ultimately constitutes the appearance of this vase. Whether it is for restoration or highlighting, these features need to be expressed on the drawing paper.
The simple and clumsy shape is outlined with rough lines;
The transparent glaze is highlighted with strong light and shadow;
The not-so-delicate texture is not expressed directly, but rather by using small differences in light and dark tones...
The light and dark strokes and the direction of the lines can be different...
If you can’t express the blue-green color, then complicate the transition between black, white and gray to highlight the changes in the blue-green glaze…
Li Yan, who was thinking seriously, ignored Li Xinyuan's gradually gentle eyes and devoted himself to depicting every stroke.
"Although this quarto paper is a bit larger, the experience of depicting details is completely different from that of the octavo paper..."
Looking at the finally completed painting, Li Yan sighed with tiredness and excitement.
He was quite satisfied. Although the degree of restoration was not very high, he was able to capture the atmosphere of the urban-rural fringe in the vase.
“Is this painting difficult?”
Li Xinyuan doesn’t understand painting, but she can see how devoted Li Yan is.
"Yes, a little bit, but I don't know how to express the blue-green temperament in black and white."
"Elegance?" Li Xinyuan was very interested. "Colors do have temperament."
"There are vases, too. Look, although this vase..."
Ding!
[Painting +1, total 48]
48?! Li Yan was shocked. He only used the system to improve a little bit, which meant that before the system took effect, painting was his best skill.
It is still 48 points which is more than half a level higher than the average level!
It turns out that I really am a painting genius!
Driven by this excitement, Li Yan gave a lecture to the study committee, talking incessantly about the new experiences he had just gained about painting.
So he completely ignored Li Xinyuan's increasingly lonely look.
