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

Chapter 170, Special Draw, Finalists
Jiang Zhe heard the system's prompt, spread the Chinese painting on the table, pretended to appreciate it, and quietly opened the system.

There is a new prompt on the page:

The painter received a gift carefully prepared by her friend. This work not only expresses her friend's feelings, but also shows her painting skills.

As the recipient of the gift, you will get one chance to draw a prize. (Note that the types and levels of skills that can be drawn depend on the person who created the work.)
Jiang Zhe read the instructions and while he was happy, he also felt lucky.

I just randomly gave Lan Xin some gifts and didn't expect anything in return. Unexpectedly, Lan Xin not only gave me gifts, but also allowed me to trigger a chance to draw a lottery. This was a pleasant surprise.

He clicked on the lottery, and the lottery wheel appeared.

He carefully looked at the list of skills that could be extracted: calligraphy skills, Chinese painting skills, calligraphy and painting appreciation, basic western painting, embroidery skills, cooking skills, handicrafts…

Jiang Zhe was a little speechless. Lan Xin knew a lot of skills, and she could be called a talented woman. But what if he drew a skill like embroidery?
He quickly blocked out the images in his mind. I got calligraphy and painting skills, I got calligraphy and painting skills... He thought as he clicked on the lottery.

The pointer of the lottery wheel began to spin rapidly.

As he prayed silently, he watched the pointer slowly stop and land on the calligraphy skill, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Chinese painting is not the skill I want most, calligraphy skills are also very good.

Click to receive, and a message comes into your mind.

While Jiang Zhe was digesting the information, he was also gradually understanding the skills contained in the information.

Because the skill information came from Lan Xin, he also learned some information about Lan Xin through this information.

Lan Xin was a diligent student. After deciding to major in Chinese painting, she began studying calligraphy early on, following the saying that calligraphy and painting have the same origin.

In order to improve the quality of her painting lines, she studied almost all traditional calligraphy styles, including Zhiyong's Thousand Characters in Cursive Script and Zhong Wang's Small Regular Script, as well as Mao Gong Ding and Li Qi Stele. In order to learn seal carving, she also studied Taishan Stone Inscription and Deng Shiru's calligraphy.

Although the calligraphy skills Jiang Zhe extracted were only elementary, this knowledge did not overlap with his previous calligraphy learning. Being able to learn the calligraphy skills that Lan Xin mastered in a short period of time was a great improvement for him.

After he digested this knowledge, he felt deeply moved.

Although Lan Xin is young, she has studied calligraphy better than many people who study calligraphy professionally. I have taken advantage of her and I should be nicer to this talented girl in the future.

Jiang Zhe's knowledge and skills have improved, and looking at Lan Xin's works, he can see the changes in his techniques of using brush and color.

Her outlining technique is steady but not rigid, and her coloring technique is not rigid and flat, but varies according to the shape requirements, which shows her dedication.

Jiang Zhe carefully put the work away. Now that he has a kitten in his dormitory, he plans to frame the painting as soon as possible to keep it for later use.

Acquire new skills and always want to try them out.

He took out a pen, ink and paper, and drew a line drawing of a sleeping black cat. With the help of calligraphy skills, the charm of his brushwork was significantly improved compared to before.

When Jiang Zhe finished sketching, the little black cat woke up and started moving around.

On that day, Jiang Zhe and the other three put away things that were easily broken before going to bed.

He lay on the bed and could feel the little black cat moving around in the room. He was not quite used to it at first, but then he felt sleepy and soon fell asleep.

The next day, Jiang Zhe got up early as usual. After checking that the little black cat was still there and was not making a fuss, he went to do morning exercises with peace of mind.

During breakfast time, he took the opportunity to express his gratitude to Lan Xin.

After breakfast, he brought some breakfast to the little black cat.

After returning to the dormitory, the three roommates got up one after another while it was time to feed the cat.

"Shao Hui, did you hear any noise last night?" Jiang Zhe asked Shao Hui while watching the little black cat eating.

While brushing his teeth, Shao Hui answered vaguely: "I didn't hear any noise from mice, it's just that - this cat sometimes makes noises."

Du Xin and Gan Wenjie thought that the black cat could still prevent mice in the dormitory. So the black cat stayed in the dormitory. Jiang Zhe prepared food for it every day, and the three roommates would occasionally feed it.

The little black cat quickly adapted to life in the dormitory.

School life is plain but fulfilling.

The works that the Art College prepared to participate in the joint exhibition of calligraphy and painting for college students have finished their display at the school and have been sent to the provincial capital for evaluation.

provincial capital.

The annual art exhibition has not even started yet, but there are already a lot of exciting shows.

In order to expand the influence, the organizers developed the province's annual art exhibition from a single event into a series of activities, attracting most of the province's professional calligraphers and painters to participate.

The organizing committee has set up several review groups for the series of activities of the annual exhibition.

Among these review activities, the most popular one is naturally the selection of works for the Provincial Art Annual Exhibition.

The organizing committee of the annual exhibition rented a large indoor stadium to store the works and conduct the review. The works of calligraphy, Chinese painting, printmaking, watercolor, oil painting, sculpture, etc. were reviewed in groups according to the traditional classification method.

More than a dozen judges walked past each work with forms in hand. If they were satisfied, they would write down the number.

In each round of review, a batch of works will be eliminated.

After several rounds of review, fewer and fewer works were left.

Jiang Zhe’s watercolor painting - the airport at night. In each round of review, he was on the verge of being eliminated.

The final round of judging for the watercolor group will determine the shortlisted works for this group.

The judges eliminated the works with the lowest rankings in order according to the number of shortlisted entries. When reviewing Jiang Zhe's work, several judges had different opinions.

While they were arguing, the head of the review team received a notice that the organizing committee and the heads of relevant departments would come to the site to observe...

In the afternoon, when Jiang Zhe was in class, his cell phone started vibrating.

He saw that it was Wang Zhen’s number, but didn’t answer it.

Although I knew she might have something to do, I was in class after all, and going out to answer the phone was very disrespectful to the teacher.

Wang Zhen called twice more, but Jiang Zhe still didn't answer.

Jiang Zhe waited until the get out of class was over before leaving the classroom and dialing Wang Zhen's number.

Wang Zhen picked up the phone almost immediately: "Hello? Jiang Zhe, what happened just now?"

Jiang Zhe said, "I'm in class, so it's inconvenient for me to answer the phone. What's wrong? Is there something urgent?"

"Of course it's urgent." Wang Zhen said,
Jiang Zhe seemed a little excited when he heard her voice, and thought it wouldn't be a bad thing.

Wang Zhen said: "Your work has been shortlisted."

Jiang Zhe didn't know which work she was talking about, so he asked, "Which work?"

Wang Zhen explained, "Which other one could it be! It's the watercolor painting you did of the airport at night. I was notified that your work was shortlisted for the watercolor exhibition."
