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

Chapter 104, Field Trip, Thinking, and Exhibition
Jiang Zhe was sitting on the sofa in the living room, holding a few small promotional leaflets in his hands, trying to persuade his parents.

"Suzhou, Hangzhou, Shanghai, and Huangshan are all great places. Shall we go traveling together?"

Because Chen Yan was dragged out for a trip by her parents, Jiang Zhe also came up with the idea of ​​traveling and sketching at the same time.

Jiang Yi and his wife refused without hesitation. "It's so hot, why do you want to travel? No matter where you go, it's better to stay at home. Traveling will cost a lot of money.

We still have a mortgage, and you should go to college. Even if you have some money, don't waste it. If you really want to go out and have fun, you can ask your classmates to go out with you. Besides, you have a puppy, what will you do with it when you go out to travel?"

Jiang Zhe tried to persuade them several times, but seeing his parents' firm attitude, he had to give up.

As soon as this topic was over, Wang Zhen called.

"Manager Wang, is this about the competition?"

"No, our Binhai Art Society is organizing a field trip to Lanshan Village. Do you want to go with us?"

"I'm not a member, can I go?" Jiang Zhe asked.

"Our gallery is one of the organizers. If you have time, come to the gallery. There is a client who wants to buy a painting."

"Okay, I'll leave right away."

Jiang Zhe stood up and said to his parents, "Mom and Dad, I'm going to the gallery."

"Is something wrong?"

"The Art Society organizes field trips, and there is also the matter of selling paintings."

……

Jiang Zhe came to the gallery.

Wang Zhen first talked about selling paintings.

An octave still life painting by Jiang Zhe was noticed by someone.

Wang Zhen suggested that Jiang Zhe sell the painting: "This price is really not low. Calculated by size, the price is higher than your previous works."

Jiang Zhe agreed to sell the painting. Without going through the system, he could sell the painting and prove his growth.

Wang Zhen first took care of the sale of his paintings, and then explained the arrangements for the field trip.

"The location of the field trip has nice scenery and retains some authentic folk houses. The field trip will last for three days, and after we come back, there will be a report exhibition. It's a good opportunity. Would you consider it?"

Jiang Zhe also thought it was a good opportunity, saving him the trouble of arranging travel and accommodation. "It's the same problem again, I'm not a member."

Wang Zhen said: “Don’t worry, the gallery, as one of the organizers, can recommend it.

You have won awards and sold paintings before, so you want to take this opportunity to get in touch with the local community. I heard that many professional teachers from schools will also participate, and maybe you know someone there. "

Jiang Zhe thought for a moment and decided to participate.

"Get ready and leave tomorrow. Take the car arranged by the gallery." Wang Zhen told Jiang Zhe in detail the preparations he needed to make.

"Thank you."

……

Jiang Zhe returned home and told his parents the news.

Jiang Yi and his wife thought this was a good opportunity and agreed to let Jiang Zhe participate in the event.

As time was limited, Jiang Zhe began to prepare for his sketching trip.

The conditions for sketching outside were limited, and he could not bring too many painting tools. After much consideration, he decided to mainly create watercolor paintings during this sketching period.

The next morning, Jiang Zhe took a taxi to the gallery, carrying his painting supplies and daily necessities.

Wang Zhen stood in front of a minibus and waved to Jiang Zhe: "Here."

Jiang Zhe walked closer to Wang Zhen and said, "Manager Wang, am I not late?"

"No, get in the car. I'll introduce you."

Jiang Zhe followed Wang Zhen into the car.

There were already five people in the car.

Wang Zhen introduced to Jiang Zhe that three of them were professional painters, one was a teacher at a cultural center and one was a professional teacher at a vocational school.

Jiang Zhe greeted the first few people who arrived one by one.

Among these five people, the oldest is nearly 60 years old and the youngest is over years old.

For Wang Zhen's sake, they responded to Jiang Zhe enthusiastically.

Jiang Zhe found an empty seat and sat down, listening to music on his MP3 player.

Members and painters got on the bus one after another.

Soon, he saw that Teacher Yin also came to participate in this event.

Teacher Yin also saw Jiang Zhe.

Jiang Zhe stood up, greeted Teacher Yin, and helped him put away his painting supplies.

Teacher Yin greeted his friends and said to Jiang Zhe, "This sketching is a good opportunity.

In the past, you did sketching for the art exam, but now it’s different. You have to learn to feel beauty and find the right language to express it. Oh, by the way, can you drink?"

He suddenly changed the subject.

"I can't drink much." Jiang Zhe told the truth.

Teacher Yin advised: "When you have dinner tonight, just tell them that you don't drink. There are quite a few drunkards among these people."

Everyone is present and the car sets off.

After a two-hour drive, we arrived at Lanshan Village.

The fishing village is backed by mountains and faces the sea. Residential courtyards of all sizes are scattered in an orderly manner on the gentle slope at the foot of the mountain.

Some of the houses in the village have been converted into brick and tile houses, but many thatched-roof earthen houses have also been preserved.

The car drove into the courtyard of a hotel next to the village.

Everyone got off the bus and were assigned rooms.

Teacher Yin told Jiang Zhe that the most distinctive scenery near the village is the houses that are integrated with the terrain. Most of the houses are made of local materials, which is very interesting.

The event organizer arranged good accommodation for everyone. There are no standard rooms here, but each person has a single room to ensure rest.

Many painters have just settled down and have invited their friends to go sketching.

Painters also have various small circles. Some choose to go to the small pier by the sea, some go to the village, and some go hiking or to the temple first. Jiang Zhe, carrying his painting box, walked into the village with Teacher Yin and others.

There is a road in front of the village.

There are several gravel roads in the village, leading to different directions.

Jiang Zhe and his companions walked along the path in the village.

Because of the undulating terrain and the shade of trees, you will see different houses and scenery almost every time you walk a distance. The courtyards arranged according to the terrain have almost no repeated styles.

The old houses in the village have walls made of stones and earth. Each old house bears the traces of time.

Jiang Zhe and his companions walked to an intersection.

Standing here, you can observe the village from different directions.

Several people separated here and looked for their favorite scenery.

Jiang Zhe continued walking along the path, observing as he walked.

If you want to learn painting and become a painter, you need to learn to perceive beauty from life.

Everyone has a different perception of beauty. Some people are born sensitive and cannot express it, but can draw it through training; some people need to appreciate and train their perception of beauty.

With the help of the system, Jiang Zhe has not only mastered the skills, but also unknowingly begun to cultivate his perception of beauty by understanding the feelings of the masters, and to find the beauty that he appreciates more.

He stopped in front of a winding path.

The path extends to a higher place, blocked by courtyards and trees, and appears to be divided into seven or eight sections.

Jiang Zhe discovered a unique rhythm in the relationship between the path and the nearby houses.

He picked up his sketchbook and made a few rough drafts. When he was sure he had grasped the rhythm of beauty, he laid out his drawing tools and quickly started sketching on a quartet of watercolor paper.

The inherent colors of residential houses and roads are very plain, and we need to use the changes in light to show the layers and spaces. Secondly, some images with distinctive characteristics should also be used well to become very good picture elements.

After Jiang Zhe finished drawing a picture, he was not satisfied with it. After reviewing it through the system, it was considered just an average product.

He was not discouraged and painted several pictures in a row, finally producing a masterpiece.

At 5 pm, Jiang Zhe and Teacher Yin returned to the hotel where they were staying.

In the afternoon, another group of members arrived and the hotel was already full.

A staff member of the organizer informed the participants to go to the restaurant for dinner at 6 pm.

Jiang Zhe arrived at the restaurant and saw that some people had brought their own drinks, so he invited a few friends and started drinking.

Teacher Yin was also dragged out to drink.

Jiang Zhe didn't want to join in the fun, so he found a corner to eat.

"Whose student are you?" Hearing the voice, Jiang Zhe turned around and saw that it was a man asking him.

The man had a narrow forehead, a wide chin, was very fat, and had rough skin.

The man continued to ask: "Who are you following to attend the event?"

Jiang Zhe understood that he was too young and looked awkward in the eyes of these people.

“Manager Wang Zhen’s gallery recommended me to participate in the event.”

"Oh, you are not our member yet." When the man heard that Jiang Zhe's situation was different from what he thought, he muttered and turned away.

Jiang Zhe didn't care either.

While we were eating, I don't know who first suggested that those who already had works should post their paintings in the hall so that everyone could observe and learn together.

Someone immediately took the lead and moved his work to the hall.

Jiang Zhe did not move. After all, he was the youngest here.

The man who asked the questions before was moving among the crowd, chatting enthusiastically with many people.

He walked around and saw that Jiang Zhe didn't move, so he said, "Friend, put your painting up too."

Jiang Zhe said: "I won't embarrass myself."

"Everyone helps you find problems, and you progress faster."

At this time, Teacher Yin also brought over his painting.

He saw this and said to Jiang Zhe, "Put up your painting, no problem."

He had seen Jiang Zhe's paintings, so he felt very relieved.

Jiang Zhe was not nervous and went to the room to get a painting.

Dozens of paintings have been displayed in the hall.

He relegated his work to the margins.

The crowd gathered around the works of interest, appreciating and commenting on them.

Jiang Zhe saw Teacher Yin's work.

Teacher Yin’s paintings focus on color relationships. Since he does not need to demonstrate to students, he can paint more relaxedly.

The man who was talking to Jiang Zhe saw Jiang Zhe displaying his works and deliberately took a detour to take a look.

When he saw Jiang Zhe's work clearly, he was speechless for a long time.

Jiang Zhe's painting uses Sargent's technique and his brushwork is decisive and sharp, but the effect is different from Sargent's. He boldly uses translucent colors to make some images hazy, emphasizes the contrast between reality and illusion, and makes the visual layers of the picture distinct.

Teacher Yin saw Jiang Zhe's work.

"Jiang Zhe, your watercolor paintings are very different from before. That's how they should be painted. If I have to find a problem, it's that some parts are too similar. It would be better if you could paint more freely."

Jiang Zhe expressed his gratitude to Teacher Yin.

He knew Teacher Yin’s artistic concepts and understood that he really wanted to give him some guidance.

Soon, several organizers and a gray-haired old man walked into the hall.

Teacher Yin told Jiang Zhe that the old man was the president of the society, his name was Cui Yizhui.

Just at this moment, Jiang Zhe heard the system's prompt sound - the player triggered a random task.
