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

Chapter 210, Mission Rewards, Competition Information
After Jiang Zhe clicked Submit Task, a new prompt appeared on the page:

You have completely copied Qiu Ying's "Peach Blossom Spring", and the work has reached the level of a masterpiece.

The level of the work and the process of completing the task have met the requirements. The system determines that the task is completed.

Rating: Excellent.

After completing the task, you can get rewards:

Reward 1: One opportunity to improve your skills.

Reward 2: 20 yuan in learning assistance funds.

Reward 3: One chance to improve personal attribute level.

Jiang Zhe glanced at the prompts and a smile appeared on his face.

This task didn’t take long and was not difficult, and I didn’t expect to get three rewards.

He first clicked on Reward 1:

You have the opportunity to improve your Chinese landscape painting skills.

Click to receive, and a sense of awareness comes into my mind.

This consciousness includes the commonly used techniques of landscape painting such as outlining, rubbing, and dotting, knowledge of the classification of landscapes into ink, light crimson, and blue-green, as well as the traditional three-distance composition method and some techniques that have been improved in modern times.

After digesting the skills, Jiang Zhe saw on the skill page that his landscape painting skills had reached the intermediate level. Judging from the technical skills, he had reached the level of an undergraduate graduate.

With his newfound skills, Jiang Zhe looked at his copy. If he drew it again, it would probably be better.

He clicked on the second reward: 20 yuan in funds.

There are three options for funding sources this time: lottery, winning prizes, and selling paintings.

He thought for a moment and chose a way to win the prize. If he could win the prize and cash in the money at the same time, why not?

The system randomly gives out a competition guide.

Jiang Zhe wrote down the details in the guide as he read it.

According to the guidelines, he can choose between two creative directions: hyper-realistic portraits or panoramic landscape oil paintings.

Excluding today, he still has one month to prepare.

Jiang Zhe estimated that there should be plenty of time.

Next, he received the third reward and added his personal attribute points directly to the health attribute without hesitation.

The continuous creation in recent times seems to be too much for him physically.

Health and longevity are the guarantee for enjoying life, so it is very appropriate to use this reward on health.

He shut down the system and checked the time. It was too late to go home.

This weekend, he plans to take two days off and relax.

Jiang Zhe has never forgotten his wish after rebirth: to change his life, enjoy it, and not make himself too tired.

……

On Saturday, Jiang Zhe and Chen Yan went shopping, watched movies, and spent the whole day relaxing.

In the evening, he opened the door of his new home, carrying the gifts he bought for his parents.

"Mom and Dad, I'm back."

When Xiao Ka heard the sound, he rushed over quickly, circled around Jiang Zhe affectionately, and wagged his tail quickly.

"You're willing to come back." Xu Li came over while wiping her hands. Seeing Jiang Zhe carrying something, she reached out to take it. "There's food at home, why did you buy so much food?"

Jiang Zhe said, "It will save you some trouble."

Jiang Yi sat on the sofa, turned down the TV volume, and asked Jiang Zhe, "Is everything done?"

Jiang Zhe replied: "It's all done. Professor Qin has seen the creation."

"Okay, relax for two days."

Jiang Zhe found it strange. It was rare for his father to take the initiative to let him play and relax.

Xiao Ka hasn't seen Jiang Zhe for a week and has been hanging around him.

Jiang Zhe picked up Xiao Ka and placed him on his knees. After stroking the hair on the back of its neck, he turned it over and scratched the hair on its belly.

Xiao Ka felt comfortable being tickled, with his four paws facing the sky and his mouth open, as if he was smiling. His dark face not only did not affect his appearance, but made him look very cute.

"Don't spread dog hair everywhere. Wash your hands and eat some fruit." Xu Li came out of the kitchen carrying a plate of fruit.

Jiang Zhe grabbed some dog food, teased Xiao Ka, then went to wash his hands and started eating fruit.

"Are you okay today?" Xu Li asked.

Jiang Zhe knew what his mother meant. "Sleep at home today."

"Okay, let's drink a pot of old wine." Hearing that his son was staying at home, Jiang Yi's mood also became cheerful.

During dinner, Jiang Yi and his wife asked Jiang Zhe in detail about his life and studies in school, and even wanted to know every detail.

Jiang Zhe understood his parents' mentality and answered them one by one.

After dinner, the family happily watched TV and chatted until they washed up and prepared to rest.

Jiang Zhe was in his room, unable to fall asleep.

Today is a special day, it has been a year since he was reborn.

Looking back on the past year since my rebirth, I have walked step by step, met different people, experienced excitement and loss, and all the experiences are experiences I have never had before.

During this year, I have changed a lot.

I remember the weather forecast said it would snow today.

He opened the curtains and looked out the window. It was really snowing!
The snowflakes falling down, together with the street lights and the darkness, form a quiet picture.

This is the first snow of this winter, heralding a good harvest next year.

Jiang Zhe lay down on the warm bed, feeling surrounded by comfort, and fell asleep unknowingly.

……

A new week begins.

The new course for the oil painting major is the study of world art in the 20th century, which is a theoretical course. The lecturer is a young female teacher. She told the students that the scope of this course covers the painting schools from the beginning of Impressionism to the end of the 20th century.

The narration and appreciation content is divided into three classes.

After the teacher finished the first lesson, he let the students arrange the rest of the time on their own.

Students should use the rest of their time to choose a certain school of painting or a certain painter, conduct research, discussion and analysis, and write a paper.

Writing a paper is a difficult task for many children studying art.

The students are going to the library.

The teacher and students left the classroom together. On the way, the teacher emphasized that students should not copy articles from the Internet. If anyone dared to plagiarize, they would fail the class. As long as the work is original, no matter what the level is, they will at least pass.

Jiang Zhe came to the library with many classmates.

Fu Min took a few books and sat next to Jiang Zhe. She found that he was reading a book about impressionism, so she asked, "Jiang Zhe, who do you want to write a paper about?"

Jiang Zhe whispered, "Tentatively, it will be a research article on Impressionist Manet."

A classmate next to me whispered, "I also want to write about Impressionist painters. Why did you choose Manet?"

Jiang Zhe said: "It's purely personal preference."

"What if they are similar?"

Jiang Zhe said: "There are many articles studying Impressionist painters, and each painter has many researchers. We can find some entry points that are rarely used by others."

At this time, a student from other majors reminded them not to make any noise.

Jiang Zhe and his friends stopped discussing and started reading.

He found influential articles about Manet, and then matched his works with them, looking for arguments that had received little or no attention, trying to avoid similarities and repetitions. At the same time, he also learned the research methods of critics.

He was taking notes when he felt Fu Min poking him with her hand.

Turning around, I saw Fu Min pointing in another direction.

Jiang Zhe looked where the instructions were pointing and saw Lan Xin and several of her classmates walking towards him.

Lan Xin picked up a book and was about to find a place to sit down when she suddenly saw Jiang Zhe waving at her, indicating that there was an empty seat there.

She smiled happily, walked to the empty seat opposite Jiang Zhe and sat down, silently greeting a few people she knew.

Fu Min asked quietly: "What classes are you taking?"

"We invited a painter from outside to give a lecture." Lan Xin's classmate also sat over and began to complain: "After the lecture, our teacher also assigned tasks."

Several people suddenly realized that in college, there are many lectures of various types, and the time is not fixed.

Jiang Zhe and his companions continued their studies.

He was immersed in recording and reading when he suddenly felt his cell phone vibrate.

While stretching his numb hands, he opened text messages on his phone.

Wang Zhen sent a message: The work has been framed.

He replied to Wang Zhen: Has my classmate’s work also been framed?

Fu Min, Mou Xing, Lan Xin and others are participating in the field trip and can also attend the Chinese Artists Association's painting exhibition. They will ask Wang Zhen to help frame their works.

Wang Zhen replied: All completed.

Jiang Zhe showed the information to Fu Min and others.

Several people wanted to see the effect of the mounting.

Jiang Zhe and Wang Zhen agreed to go to the gallery at four o'clock in the afternoon.

After quickly completing their original tasks, they rushed to the gallery together.

Wang Zhen took them to the entrance of the gallery exhibition hall.

A dozen framed works lean against the wall, waiting to be displayed.

Jiang Zhe's two oil paintings are very eye-catching.

He checks the work’s front and back.

The oil painting is paired with a metallic frame decorated with simple patterns, which is particularly outstanding.

Fu Min and Mou Xing's works are both oil paintings. Lan Xin created a traditional Chinese painting that depicts the city scenery in the style of landscape painting. They are very satisfied with the mounting effect.

Jiang Zhe said to Wang Zhen, "Manager Wang, these works will be kept here for a few more days until we get the notification and then they will be transported to the exhibition site."

Wang Zhen said, "I was just about to discuss this with you. The works can be displayed here. When the time comes to set up the exhibition, I will arrange for someone to help you transport the works."

Hearing that it could save a lot of trouble, several people agreed immediately.

Wang Zhen arranged for staff to hang the works of several people in the exhibition hall.

She took out a scroll and handed it to Jiang Zhe. "This is your landscape painting."

When Fu Min and others heard that Jiang Zhe had framed a traditional Chinese painting, they all wanted to see it.

This painting is large in size and needs to be hung up for appreciation. Wang Zhen helped Jiang Zhe unfold the vertical scroll and hang it on a booth.

The unique simplicity and elegance of Song-style mounting makes the visual impact of the green landscape stronger.

Wang Zhen, Lan Xin and others all praised Jiang Zhe for achieving such a high level in his first attempt at copying a Chinese painting.

Jiang Zhe said that good visual effect is the result of mounting.

He saw many problems with the work at this time and didn't want to keep talking about it.

"Manager Wang, I want to participate in the contemporary painting competition in the United States. Can you help me with the formalities?"

Wang Zhen smiled and said, "I just received the news, you already know it."

She spoke in a relaxed tone, but she was worried. She wanted to be the first to tell Jiang Zhe the news and help him with the formalities, but before she could tell him, Jiang Zhe already knew about it. Who informed him? She was put in such a passive position.

"Jiang Zhe, what competition are you talking about?" Fu Min asked. Others were also curious.

"I saw it on the Internet..." Jiang Zhe replied.

Wang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Jiang Zhe's words.
