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

Chapter 121, New Creation, Take Back Your Words

Sister Liao put away the information and sat next to Jiang Zhe again.

Jiang Zhe picked up the teacup and took a sip, then looked at Sister Liao and asked, "Will doing these things affect you?"

Sister Liao smiled and said, "I am an adult and I know what I should and shouldn't do. You are a special case."

Jiang Zhe said: "I feel a little guilty for you doing this."

"I like it. I'm willing." Sister Liao stared at Jiang Zhe.

Jiang Zhe felt that he was about to be overwhelmed. Okay, okay, you have a point.

Sister Liao leaned her head on Jiang Zhe's shoulder and asked in a low voice: "When you report, will your parents accompany you?"

Jiang Zhe said: "It is difficult for me to change my parents' decision."

Sister Liao said, "This is human nature. I would go with you, but I know it's not good. So, I'm not going. I'm sorry I can't be with you at that time."

Jiang Zhe understood that she didn't want things to become awkward.

In response to Sister Liao’s thoughtfulness, he could only pat her gently, as if he was caring for a baby.

After they had lunch together, Sister Liao reluctantly sent Jiang Zhe back to the studio.

Jiang Zhe returned to the studio, quickly found a piece of watercolor paper, fixed it to the drawing board, and began to prepare the tools for watercolor painting.

Since buying the new studio, he has begun to slowly clean up the items in the old studio and pack up some tools that are not in use temporarily.

At this moment, he had an urge to paint, so he unpacked the packed tools without hesitation and placed them in front of the easel.

While waiting for the masking tape and drawing paper to dry, use a sketchbook to make rough drafts.

Jiang Zhe kept painting with his brush, and all he could think about were the fragments of Sister Liao.

He drew his impression of Sister Liao on paper, selected the satisfactory form and condensed it.

After using the draft to determine the content of the picture, he began to draw pencil drafts on watercolor paper.

According to Jiang Zhe's idea, on the vertical composition paper, Sister Liao was wearing a veil, standing on the carpet with an elegant posture, looking at him with a smile.

In the painting, Sister Liao has one hand hanging naturally, and the other hand gently holds the veil. The veil flutters slightly, covering the important part.

When drawing a portrait of a person standing facing forward, there is a high probability that the movements will be stiff.

Jiang Zhe did not deliberately design Sister Liao's movements in the picture, but followed his own feelings to depict the character, which made the character simple and vivid, showing subtle dynamics, which was in line with his impression of Sister Liao.

Jiang Zhe mixed the watercolor paint, starting from the background and quickly laying the base color.

He used two pens, one for mixing and laying out colors, and the other for clear water.

After applying a layer of color, if you need to keep water marks or let the color blend, use a clear water pen for follow-up processing.

In order to make the background highlight the texture of the characters, he deliberately blurred part of the background and created a matte feeling through the overlay and rendering of colors.

The focus of the picture is the character's facial features and hands and feet.

When Jiang Zhe depicts a person's face, he starts from the left eye and gradually moves outwards. The eyes, nose, forehead... the facial features of the person are gradually portrayed and perfected.

The left side of the figure in the painting is illuminated, while part of the right side is in dark, reflecting the scattered light.

Jiang Zhe did not deliberately emphasize the facial structure of the characters, but instead combined color and light and dark relationships to reflect the beauty of the characters.

After he finished a part, he stepped back to look at it, and continued when he was satisfied.

When dealing with the gauze effect, he uses large brushstrokes to quickly apply the paint, reflecting the smooth texture and front and back.

Jiang Zhe changed to two slightly smaller brushes and depicted the character's fingers and toes.

Because of his familiarity, he can draw vivid details from memory.

By the evening, he had basically completed the work.

Because of the lighting, it is impossible to judge the subtle changes in color, so I have to pause.

Jiang Zhe examines the painting and reviews the creative process.

While creating this painting, he always maintained his creative impulse and his initial impression of the characters, without giving too much thought to the techniques. He unconsciously integrated the techniques he was best at, and even began to explore techniques with his own personal style.

A call from his mother Xu Li interrupted his thoughts.

Xu Li asked Jiang Zhe to go home for dinner.

Jiang Zhe quickly put away his works and tools.

Sister Liao wanted an oil painting. In order to record his feelings at the time, he painted watercolor, which he is currently best at.

Jiang Zhe plans to create another oil painting based on the watercolor painting.

However, these pictures are only for viewing by myself and Sister Liao, and cannot be seen by others.

Jiang Zhe went home to have dinner with his parents.

At the same time, another dinner party was also going on.

Bi Puguang, also known as Old Bi with long hair, picks up some food for an old man.

The old man was obese and sitting in a wheelchair. The left half of his face had almost no expression. A nanny was feeding him.

While Bi Puguang was picking up food for the old man, he talked about recent events at the Art Society and within the industry.

The old man concentrated on eating and didn't react to Bi Puguang's words.

Lao Bi was not discouraged and continued to speak patiently.

It took the old man a long time to eat a meal.

When the nanny cleared the food away, Bi Puguang said, "Dad, there's an art exhibition going on in the province. Do you think I can go and give it a try?"

The old man raised his eyelids and glanced at Bi Puguang. His left face remained motionless, and he said vaguely, "Go back and paint well, don't think too much."

The nanny came over, and the old man raised his hand and waved at Bi Puguang.

Bi Puguang knew that he was being driven back. He did not dare to show any abnormality, so he had to politely say goodbye and leave.

He returned to his usual townhouse.

Lao Che and Lao Bian have already arrived.

When Lao Che saw Bi Puguang coming back, he said, "We've been waiting for you."

Bi Puguang threw his clothes on the sofa, picked up a glass of beer with his bare chest, and drank it all in one gulp.

Lao Che asked, "How is it? What does our old man say?"

Bi Puguang said angrily: "I told the old man in our family about these recent events. He said nothing, as if he didn't hear anything. Now, he is only focusing on taking care of his health."

The fat man said, "Don't bother. The Art Society obviously wants to use Jiang Zhe's incident to gild itself, and will definitely not allow anyone to mess with it. I think, forget it."

Lao Che saw that the others were silent, so he said, "There is no other way for now, we can take a step back first."

Bi Puguang looked unhappy: “Several of us attended the symposium that day.

Have you noticed that some people look at us in a way that is not right? Although these people did not say anything, I can guess that they are laughing at us. "

Lao Bian sneered: "It's no big deal to laugh at us. The key is that the president has sent someone to look for me."

"What do we want from you?" Several people looked at Lao Bian.

"What else can I do? Let me write an article. Analyze and summarize the positive significance of members' selection in the competition.

"Why do I ask you to write it? Is that right?" The fat man asked what everyone wanted to ask.

Lao Bian nodded: “The president must know that I wrote the last article.

So, I was deliberately asked to write another article to take back what I said and let myself slap myself in the face.”

"Are you still being unreasonable?"

"This is too bullying." Several people were very angry.

"He seldom did things like this before." Lao Che asked, "Lao Bian. Do you really want to write?"

Lao Bian said: "There is no other way, I have to write it. The president asked Director Lian to find me. I guess there are other reasons behind it.

Now, some leaders of the Art Society want to use this to gild themselves. If we don’t know what’s good for us, we will be the ones who suffer.”

Several people looked at Lao Bian with strange eyes.

I felt it was ridiculous and pitiful, but at the same time I was also worried. What we thought was a very secret matter was discovered by someone else. What consequences would there be?
Lao Bian guessed what these people were thinking and said, "Don't be so optimistic. If they can find me, they must know that you guys are the ones who are helping me."

The fat man said, "Don't scare yourself. He can't do anything to us."

"Director Lian told me to find a way to contact the publication myself."

Lao Bian's words made the others more excited.

"We ask you to take back your words and we also want us to be responsible for contacting the publication ourselves?" Bi Puguang asked.

"Director Lian handed the matter over to me. He didn't say anything else. I guess, like last time, he'll ask you guys to contact the publications." Lao Bian said.

"No."

"I don't agree either. It's disgusting."

"You don't have to do it." Lao Bian said, "If you fall out with the society, you can think about the consequences. I don't care. It's just right. I don't want to lose face."

Several people were silent. Some wanted to give in, but with so many people watching, they were too embarrassed to say anything soft.

Finally, it was Lao Che who spoke up to break the awkwardness. "We should just be patient with this matter. This is what the society wants, we can't force it.

We’ll talk about the future after we get through this.”

Although the other people didn't say anything, Lao Bianfa guessed that they all agreed.

He said, "According to the division of labor last time, you guys go contact the publications and I'll write the manuscript."

The fat man said, "How do we solve the problem of money? I spent a lot of money on the last incident."

Bi Puyu said, "I don't want to pay."

"I don't want to either. But can this be done without money?" Someone slammed the table hard, stood up and left.

Lao Ma followed and left.

Others left one after another.

Before leaving, Lao Bian said to Bi Puguang: "Please think about it again. When you have considered it, I will start writing."

Bi Puguang seemed a little lonely after his friends left. In recent gatherings, they often ended in unpleasantness.

In the early morning, Jiang Zhe exercises, writes and draws as usual.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, he left the studio and found Chen Yan in the largest shopping mall.

Chen Yan took Jiang Zhe's arm. "I'm going to buy a gift box first. Do you want one?"

Jiang Zhe said, "My parents have already prepared it for me. You are not far from home, is it necessary to bring a gift box?"

Chen Yan said as she walked: "I was packing my things at home, and the more I packed, the more I had. Especially cosmetics and clothes.

After school starts, it is impossible to go back home every day. You can only bring your belongings to the school dormitory.”

She went into detail about what she wanted to bring.

Jiang Zhe heard about the items Chen Yan was going to take and estimated that one suitcase would not be enough.
