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

Chapter 209, Complete Creation, Invitation

On Friday afternoon, after the elective class was over, Jiang Zhe hurried back to his studio, had a quick dinner, and called his parents and Chen Yan to inform them that he would stay in the studio that weekend.

He came to the workbench and began to prepare Chinese painting materials.

On the workbench were Chinese painting materials and white silk stretched on a wooden frame. On the silk was an unfinished line drawing of a fairyland in Taoyuan.

In his elective course, he copied a part of the "Peach Blossom Spring" and copied the whole painting after returning home.

There are differences between painting on silk and rice paper, and it requires a certain transformation. The copying progress in the elective course is fast, so it is like an experiment and preview for the copying in the evening.

He prepared the materials, carefully checked the picture, compared it with the template, and continued outlining from where he stopped last time.

Once the ink line drawing is completed, check it again to make sure there are no mistakes, then start applying the first coat of plant base color.

After finishing the base painting and waiting for it to dry, he put away his Chinese painting tools and temporarily stopped copying.

From now until the end of the weekend, he will put all his energy into completing the painting.

Jiang Zhe plans to paint the passenger terminal first.

He put the painting frame and the draft together and transferred the draft onto the canvas. It was already 10 o'clock in the evening when he finished this step.

Wash and sleep.

The next morning, Jiang Zhe had breakfast and started preparing the ingredients.

He carefully considers the materials and procedures used, striving to work without distraction.

Prepare all the materials, take a short break, and start creating.

He used direct painting to create his works, which was in line with his needs but also due to time constraints.

Because he had done enough advance work, Jiang Zhe no longer needed to consider the modeling issues when creating the final draft. He could complete it in one go and only needed to consider the texture and beauty of the oil painting.

He stood in front of the easel, using pens of different shapes, dipped them into paint, smeared them, and superimposed them. Each stroke was very steady, with almost no pause in between.

In this way, this large-scale oil painting gradually took shape under his pen.

He devoted himself to the painting and completed it almost in one go.

Jiang Zhe stepped back and observed the picture. Inspiration would suddenly come to him during the creation process, and he would then slightly adjust his brushstrokes to make some effects more vivid.

He put down his tools, repeatedly compared the draft with the final draft, made changes based on the questions raised by Teacher Qin, and used oil painting brushstrokes and texture overlays to break the shackles of excessive realism.

Jiang Zhe felt that he could stop working on this work, so he ran it through the system for review, and was evaluated as a masterpiece.

He relaxed and looked out the window. It was almost dark. He had been painting since morning, with almost no pause.

I went to the restaurant and had a delicious meal to reward myself.

The next day, after having rested enough and regained his strength, Jiang Zhe began to create a work that looked down at the container terminal from a high altitude.

According to the conception and design, this painting is closer to Impressionist painting in color, with brighter tones than the first draft, and the method used is also direct painting.

In this painting, except for the clouds and the sea, the other images do not require high technical skills, and impress the audience with color and momentum.

With yesterday's practice, Jiang Zhe worked very quickly on the second piece, starting in the morning and finishing at 3 p.m.

He hung two large canvases to dry.

At this time, the studio was filled with the smell of oil painting materials.

Jiang Zhe was a little tired from painting continuously and wanted to relax. He packed up his tools, picked up his phone, and saw several missed calls.

First I called my parents back, then I called Chen Yan back… and finally, I called Wang Zhen back.

"Oh, you finally answered the phone. What have you been busy with these two days?" Wang Zhen answered the phone and asked a series of questions.

Jiang Zhe replied, "I'm preparing for the art association's exhibition."

Wang Zhen said, "The Art Society had a meeting today, and you didn't go either."

Jiang Zhe said: "After learning that, I want to reduce my activities."

"What's wrong? Just because you joined the association, you look down on this society?"

"There are too many things going on over there and I don't have enough time." Jiang Zhe said bluntly.

"You don't have to participate, just put your name on the list. Many local painters have their names on both sides," suggested Wang Zhen.

"Listen to you."

Wang Zhen asked: "How is your painting? Do you need help framing it?"

Jiang Zhe said, "I would like to ask Professor Qin to take a look at it before considering framing it."

"I'll wait for your notice."

After ending the call, Jiang Zhe thought about the two tasks of the system while eating and taking a break.

One is to complete the elective course assignments, and the other is to complete the proposition creation.

The two works created under the theme have both reached the level of masterpieces. Once the imitation of the green landscape is completed, the two tasks should be ready for submission.

Jiang Zhe made himself a cup of tea, and after he had rested enough and regained his energy, he returned to the copying work.

Traditional Chinese painting pigments are better than modern tube colors, but the application process is particularly troublesome.

Many colors require re-adjusting the glue every time you use them. However, once you get used to it, this process is also a process of calming your mind and eliminating distractions.

He picked up his paintbrush and began to color some of the rocks.

On the juice green base, dye malachite; on the indigo base, dye malachite. Dye different green colors according to the yin and yang of the shape. After dyeing once or twice, you need to cover it with a thin layer of glue alum water to prevent the color from falling off and mixing.

During this process, some images need to be redrawn and depicted, such as tree bark, leaves, details of buildings, etc.

new week.

After the class, Jiang Zhe would go back to the studio to copy. By the end of the elective class, he had copied the complete "Peach Garden Wonderland" at home, catching up with the progress of the class copying. Because he painted slowly, the effect was more delicate.

At 2 pm on Friday, Mr. Liao gave a summary of the course. Because it was an elective course, the requirements were not so strict, and he recorded the scores of each student's homework on the spot.

As expected, Jiang Zhe received an excellent evaluation.

The students handed in their work, packed up and left.

Jiang Zhe handed in his work. The system rated it as an excellent work, so he did not plan to use it to submit the task.

When I said goodbye to Teacher Liao, Teacher Liao suddenly said, "Jiang Zhe, wait a moment."

Seeing that the teacher had something to say, Jiang Zhe had no choice but to stop and wait to leave with the teacher.

As we walked along the road, Teacher Liao said, "I see you are painting very seriously. Are you interested in Chinese painting?"

Jiang Zhe replied: "Through study, I have developed a certain interest."

Teacher Liao said: "In our cultural circle, Chinese painting always comes first."

Jiang Zhe heard this from more than one person.

"Learning oil painting now will not affect learning Chinese painting. Many people who learn Chinese painting use oil painting as a foundation. Although some people say that this is wrong, it is not wrong to learn more.

After you graduate from college, will you consider studying for a master's degree? At that time, you should seriously consider whether to switch to Chinese painting."

Jiang Zhe said: "This matter is still a bit far away. I am still a freshman in college."

Teacher Liao said: "Not far. Many people have set their goals in their freshman year.

If you want to apply for graduate school, I should be taking new students at that time. You can apply for my graduate school."

Jiang Zhe understood that this was what Mr. Liao wanted to say. He was very happy that he was recognized, but of course, he was also a little ashamed because he had never thought about this question.

"I will definitely consider it seriously."

After parting with Teacher Liao, Jiang Zhe went directly to Professor Qin's office.

"get out of class has ended?"

"Just came from the elective class. Do you have time?"

"Let's go to your studio."

Jiang Zhe invited Professor Qin to his studio to help him look at his works.

The two walked to the parking lot. Professor Qin asked, "Did Lao Liao ask you to apply for his graduate degree?"

"How did you guess that?"

"It's not difficult. I don't even have to think about it. Lao Liao has tried to recruit graduate students several times but failed. How could he let go of a student like you who has potential? He would give it a try.

The two of them came to the side of the car, and Professor Qin said, "Let's wait for you, Teacher Hu."

Jiang Zhe said: "I have passed the driving test now."

"You passed the driving test, but I'm worried if you don't drive often."

"Got it."

Soon, Teacher Hu hurried back.

Jiang Zhe said: "Sorry to bother you again."

"Let's go and drive. We'll go there and come back quickly."

Professor Qin came to Jiang Zhe's studio for the second time.

When they entered the studio, they were stunned for a moment.

They not only saw the oil paintings hanging in the studio, but also the copied green landscapes.

"Not bad, the effect of this oil painting is much better than the pencil draft." Teacher Hu said.

Professor Qin stared at the green landscape for a while and asked: "Are you planning to study landscape painting?"

Jiang Zhe cursed himself for forgetting to put the painting away.

"Come back and experiment. It won't distract you." He explained as he prepared tea for Professor Qin.

Professor Qin began to look at two oil paintings.

The painting of the passenger terminal changes the color tone and the light in the painting to highlight the effect of the afternoon sun. The changes in brushstrokes make the image extremely exciting.

He nodded, said nothing, and continued looking at the painting of the container terminal.

The overall color tone has changed a lot compared to the original manuscript. The colors of the clouds, the sea, the pier, the afternoon sunlight, gold, and rose red together form a very bright color tone.

"Yes, these two paintings have their own characteristics." Professor Qin said, "It's not a big problem, no need to change it. If you want to send both, I can speak for you, and you will have a better chance."

"Thank you, teacher." Professor Qin was invited because of his rich experience.

Professor Qin looked at the work and called the association in front of Jiang Zhe to finalize the matter.

Jiang Zhe once again expressed his gratitude to the two teachers.

He saw Professor Qin and Teacher Hu off, returned to the studio, opened the system, and clicked to submit the task.

The system shows that the submission conditions have not been met.

In order not to waste time, Jiang Zhe took out the picture of Peach Blossom Land again and started copying it.

With the depiction of colors and ink lines, the images of pine forests on the mountain ridges, tall pavilions, clear springs in the mountain streams, small pavilions on the rocks, floating clouds in the mountains, slanting sunlight, distant mountains, and sea of ​​clouds in the painting are completed one by one.

He stopped writing and observed, and felt that the beauty of the picture had reached the expected level. He opened the system again, found the challenge task, and clicked submit.
