Reborn as a great painter, with a system, you can be willful

Chapter 103: Complete the entry, Chen Yan gets what she wants
Early in the morning, Jiang Zhe was awakened by Xiao Ka.

He opened his eyes, waited for his brain to clear up, slowly stood up, and began to do Ba Duan Jin.

Since I mastered this fitness method, I have been training every morning. Although I cannot feel the effect of this fitness method for the time being, it has become a habit. If I don’t practice it every day, I feel something is missing.

After the exercise, he took Xiaoka for a walk. When passing by the market to buy breakfast, he would pay attention to the street scenes and pedestrians.

After breakfast, Jiang Zhe began to prepare his third entry.

Next to his easel, there are several watercolor landscape paintings, including trees in the park, city alleys, seascapes, etc. These are the landscape themes that he is good at and likes to express.

Jiang Zhe first sketched out some of the scenery he saw this morning, and then selected a bird's-eye view of a city street scene to create the final draft.

Two hours later, the work was completed.

He reviewed it using the system.

The evaluation given by the system is still an excellent work.

Jiang Zhe took the street scene off the drawing board with some annoyance and piled it together with other landscape paintings that were rated as excellent or mediocre.

The Night Market and Portrait of a Woman, which were considered to be exquisite works, were displayed separately.

He opened the system and checked the progress of the task.

The system has strict requirements for entries.

Jiang Zhe's previous paintings of night markets and women's portraits have been rated as fine works and can be sent to exhibitions. Unfortunately, several of his watercolor landscapes have never passed the system review.

If you cannot pass the system review, it will be useless to send it to the exhibition.

He calculated the time and found that he had eight days left before he had to mail his work.

In order to complete the landscape work, he has suspended his oil painting practice, but the results are not ideal.

Jiang Zhe felt that if he continued to paint like this, there might not be any good results.

He planned to stop creating, go out for a walk and look for inspiration.

Just as he was thinking about where to find inspiration, Chen Yan called him.

Jiang Zhe guessed that Chen Yan wanted to ask him out to play.

"Hello, Jiang Zhe, where are you?" Chen Yan asked.

Jiang Zhe heard Chen Yan's voice was a little vague, so he said, "I'm in the studio, did you just get up?" He looked at the time, it was already 10 o'clock in the morning.
"Well, how do you know?" Chen Yan asked back.

"I heard it."

Chen Yan suggested: "How about we go to the beach?"

"Do you still want to go swimming?"

"No." Chen Yan objected: "I was exhausted from swimming last time. Let's go eat first, then go to the beach for a walk and take pictures."

"Sure." Jiang Zhe originally planned to go out for a walk.

"Don't forget to bring Carl with you."

……

Jiang Zhe took Xiao Ka to the coastal park.

This is a small scenic spot with many tourists.

Chen Yan arrived quickly.

Today, she wore a sun hat and sunglasses and dressed like a boy.

During lunch, Chen Yan said to Jiang Zhe, "I know there is a place near the Coastal Park where you can catch small fish, shrimps and crabs."

Jiang Zhe thought this way of playing was a bit childish: "This is something we played with when we were kids."

Chen Yan said: "Let's go play. Do you have a camera? We can take more photos."

Jiang Zhe didn't have a specific target, so he agreed to Chen Yan's proposal.

The two walked along the coastline and walked from the seaside boardwalk to the beach.

Chen Yan took off her shoes and walked barefoot on the beach.

Jiang Zhe did the same.

The dry sand is very hot when exposed to the sun; the beach soaked by the sea water is very cool.

The two walked on the wet beach, occasionally feeling the coolness of the sea water covering their feet.

Xiao Ka ran around them happily.

They walked east along the beach, approaching a reef.

Half of the reef is on the shore, and half extends into the sea.

There are puddles of various sizes on the shore.

Chen Yan pointed to the reef and said, "It's right here. There are very small shrimps and crabs here."

The two put on their shoes and began to move across the large reefs.

Jiang Zhe and Chen Yan kept turning over small stones, looking for crabs hidden under the stones and small fish hidden in puddles.

"Here is... here is..."

Chen Yan made a discovery.

Jiang Zhe saw Chen Yan reaching out to catch the escaping crab, but failed.

They are both good and fun-loving.

Chen Yan failed several times in a row and had to make excuses for herself. "After high school, I didn't have the chance to play."

Jiang Zhe said mercilessly: "Just tell me that you don't dare to catch it with your hands."

"Who said that? I'm not afraid." Chen Yan was aroused by her competitive spirit. She squatted on the reef, ready to catch small fish and shrimps in the puddle.

These small creatures are extremely small and camouflaged, making them difficult to detect. Their movements are extremely agile and very difficult to catch.

After Chen Yan found a small fish, she slowly squatted down, stared at the target, and moved little by little. When she slowly stretched out her hand and prepared to catch the small fish, because her center of gravity was not adjusted properly, she tilted and fell into the puddle.

She screamed and tried to keep her balance, but one foot had already stepped into the puddle.

Jiang Zhe hurried over and pulled her up.

The water was not deep, but it had already wet Chen Yan's shorts.

Jiang Zhe helped her wipe it while smiling.

"What's so funny?" Chen Yan was annoyed, but soon she couldn't help laughing.

She was having so much fun that she continued to catch small fish and shrimps, regardless of her shorts getting wet, and put them back.

Jiang Zhe took a camera to take pictures of Chen Yan, recording some beautiful moments.

Chen Yan was tired from playing and suggested going back to rest.

Returning from the beach to the seaside boardwalk, she said to Jiang Zhe, "I'm tired, can you carry me?"

Jiang Zhe said, "Call me daddy and I'll carry you on my back." "Bah, wishful thinking. Call me mom and I'll carry you on my back."

Jiang Zhe stood behind Chen Yan without hesitation and hooked his arm around her neck. "Come on, girl, carry daddy on your back.

Chen Yan didn't expect Jiang Zhe to say this, and she was so angry that she hit him backhanded. "Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

Jiang Zhe didn't let go.

He held Chen Yan in his arms like a big rag doll.

When the two were playing, a woman's voice came: "Chen Yan."

Jiang Zhe looked in the direction of the sound and saw several girls walking along the plank road. One of them was someone he had seen in the training class.

He let go of Chen Yan.

Chen Yan put her arm around his and greeted several girls at the same time.

She introduced these people to Jiang Zhe, saying that they were all her classmates.

Several girls came closer and looked at the two of them with a smile.

Jiang Zhe glanced at several girls, none of them were as pretty as Chen Yan.

A girl asked, "Chen Yan, come out to play? Who is this?"

Chen Yan introduced Jiang Zhe openly. "This is my boyfriend."

Jiang Zhe greeted several girls politely.

"Hey, when did you meet?"

"Chen Yan, our class is having a party, are you coming?"

Several girls were talking at once.

Chen Yan responded with a few words, waved goodbye to her classmates, and quickly left with Jiang Zhe.

Several girls were still gossiping. "Which school is Chen Yan's boyfriend from? What's his name?"

A girl who attended the same training class as Jiang Zhe told the story of how Jiang Zhe and Chen Yan met.

"I heard from Chen Yan that he was admitted to Binhai Art College, majoring in oil painting."

"Wow, that's amazing!"

"There is no one in our school who is admitted to the painting major."

Chen Yan and Jiang Zhe walked a distance. "I guess those people must be gossiping. What do you think they will say?"

Jiang Zhe said: "Girls' gossip is usually about boys."

……

The two returned to the studio, washed and changed their clothes.

Jiang Zhe saw Chen Yan change into her home clothes very naturally, so he closed the door and put Xiaoka back into the cage.

Both of them were mentally prepared for what to do when they returned to the studio.

Focus your mind and energy on one thing and you'll quickly get to the point.

Xiao Ka leaned on the cage and stared at the two people's actions.

When things get intense, she'll make a whining sound, trying to get Jiang Zhe's attention.

At the last step, Chen Yan suddenly stopped Jiang Zhe. "Wait a moment."

"What? Do you regret it?" Jiang Zhe asked.

"I don't regret it, but I have to go home tonight. What if my mother finds out?
Can we wait until after we go to college..."

Jiang Zhe said: "Okay, I respect your opinion."

He doesn't like to be forced.

Chen Yan threw herself back into Jiang Zhe's arms...

It was not until the evening that the two reluctantly got up and had dinner. The relationship had made a breakthrough, and Chen Yan was a little more gentle than before.

Xiao Ka finally gained his freedom.

After dinner, Jiang Zhe sent Chen Yan home.

After he returned to the studio, he savored the sweetness from before and began to make up for what he had learned today.

Jiang Zhe imported the photos he took today into his computer and found some interesting details while flipping through them.

Because of the sunlight and angle, the color of the sea water in some photos changes wonderfully.

Inspired, he decided to try painting a watercolor painting with sea water as the theme.

Jiang Zhe picked up the sketchbook and began to draw a draft.

He did not paint the vast sea, but chose to depict the calm waters in the reef pit. The sky, reefs and the sea in the distance would become the background.

When Jiang Zhe designed the seawater color, he did not use the common seawater color. One part of the seawater is clear and transparent, showing pebbles and reefs; the other part of the seawater reflects the colors of the sunlight and clouds.

The same calm sea water presents different colors.

When he was conceiving the painting, he also incorporated the wonderful feelings he had when playing with Chen Yan, giving the picture a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere.

Jiang Zhe finished the draft and began the formal creation.

He uses realistic techniques, so he paints very slowly.

It took me a day and a half to complete this double-page watercolor.

Jiang Zhe uses the system to review the works.

The system quickly gave an evaluation: The watercolor work - Tranquil Water, has reached the fine level and can be participated in the competition. It is recommended to participate in the competition held in the United States.

Jiang Zhe looked at the work he had just completed, and a sense of satisfaction rose in his heart. He vaguely felt the meaning of seeing the soul in the scenery.

The system gives competition suggestions for these three paintings.

The recommended work Night Market will participate in the competition in Deguo; the other two works will participate in the competition in Niguo.

He followed the competition requirements, made preparations, and contacted Wang Zhen.

Wang Zhen is helping some painters to participate in these two competitions.

When she heard that Jiang Zhe was also going to participate, she immediately agreed to help and suggested that he concentrate on participating in only one competition.

Jiang Zhe insisted on his choice.

All preparations for the competition are ready, just waiting for the results.
