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

Chapter 239: Another work is selected and the prize is received
airport.

Jiang Zhe was confused when he heard what Sister Liao said: "What do you mean?"

Sister Liao asked, "There has been no news about your painting of the container terminal, right?"

Jiang Zhe's eyes lit up: "Well, is there any news?"

Sister Liao said, "Your work was not originally selected. However, the corridor and hall of the provincial capital hall were renovated, and your work was selected as a decoration. It was a pleasant surprise. Congratulations!"

Jiang Zhe was surprised and delighted: "How can you be selected again after being rejected? Did you do something?"

Sister Liao said: "Oh, you really think highly of me. I am not omnipotent. I don't know who helped you intentionally or unintentionally. You can go back and think about it.

I think this is not a simple matter. But, no matter what, it is a good thing for you, so I say you are lucky. "

Jiang Zhe nodded: "Maybe, it's really luck."

Sister Liao advised: "Don't tell anyone about this for now. Even if you announce the news in the future, you must keep a low profile."

"clear."

"I won't say any more. I have to go through security." Sister Liao said goodbye to Jiang Zhe reluctantly. After passing the security check, she turned back again and looked at Jiang Zhe who was standing there.

He waved goodbye and walked towards the departure hall.

She found a seat and sat down, thought for a moment, made a few calls, then turned off her cell phone and looked at the airport runway through the huge glass.

Although Jiang Zhe didn't let himself interfere, and he really obeyed his wishes, but did those people who were making trouble in this matter really think that it would be okay if he did this?

Jiang Zhe returned to the studio, feeling happy, but at the same time he reminded himself that unknown changes might be caused by the system or the emergence of unknown factors.

These things have already happened and cannot interfere with your current state of mind.

He blocked out the distractions and continued to copy Bouguereau's two works in the form of sketches.

The available materials on Bouguereau's works are mainly oil paintings, with fewer sketches. Therefore, Jiang Zhe must refer to a variety of materials and use appropriate sketching methods as much as possible to learn and experience the traditional painting training of the French Academy.

From his works, we can see that Bouguereau adhered to the traditional academic style and creative methods, that is, he completely followed the principle of idealization. In order to pursue perfection, he created an idealized world in his paintings at the expense of reality, and even made the subject seem too beautiful to be real.

While copying the works, Jiang Zhe gradually realized how Bouguereau used the Italian costumes, the tranquil images of boys and girls, and the scenes in rural roads and life to express poetic beauty. The strength of Bouguereau lies in the fact that although he highly beautified and idealized these characters, he still managed to express them in a very real way so that the audience could understand.

A week later, the sketch was completed.

In the process of copying sketches, Jiang Zhe focused on understanding the modeling and aesthetics, as well as learning the traditional academic training methods.

He transferred the sketch to the canvas in the traditional way. After checking various sources, he began to copy the oil painting using the academic painting method.

This process takes a long time, and you can only paint a part at a time. Then you need to wait for the surface to dry.

In a week, Jiang Zhe only has two days, the weekends, to use for copying. He studies at school from Monday to Friday, which is just the right time to wait for the painting to dry.

He used his spare time to continue collecting research materials on Bouguereau, studying and researching, and trying to figure out his artistic ideas.

Jiang Zhe read from the information that after studying at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris, Bouguereau won the Rome Prize and received funding to go to Italy for further studies. He had the opportunity to come into contact with and study the original works of the great masters of painting during the Renaissance, laying the foundation for his future creations.

The idea of ​​going to observe the master's works came to his mind again.

A week later, in Wang Zhen’s studio.

Jiang Zhe held a trophy in each hand and took a photo.

He just received the trophy and prize money from the American painting competition. After deducting various expenses, he still had 20.

After Wang Zhen took a photo with Jiang Zhe, he said to him, "I think the Art Association will call you."

Jiang Zhe carefully put the trophy into the box and said, "I don't have time, let the school handle it. I have to go back to school quickly. The school knows that the trophy has arrived, so they asked me to go back and take pictures." "I'll send a car to take you there."

"Thank you."

Jiang Zhe walked into Teacher Hu's office carrying his schoolbag and saw Professor Qin and several other teachers chatting there.

Teacher Hu saw Jiang Zhe and greeted him with a smile: "Jiang Zhe is here? Where is the trophy?"

Jiang Zhe greeted several teachers and put down his schoolbag.

"Come on, show us." Teacher Hu smiled happily.

Several teachers saw Jiang Zhe take the trophy out of the box and started passing it around.

"Our school rarely wins this award from the United States."

"It's not rare, it never existed before!"

“Look at the beautiful design of the trophy.”

"Let's take the picture here."

"No, go outside." Jiang Zhe won the award, and the teachers in this major were very happy.

He followed several teachers to the outside of the building and chose a seat.

Teacher Hu first took a photo of Jiang Zhe holding the trophy alone, and then took a group photo.

Jiang Zhe understood that this matter could also add points to the teacher and the school, and it was a happy thing for everyone. People would like people or things that could add points to others.

After taking the photos, the teachers gave Jiang Zhe some words of encouragement and left one after another.

Professor Qin stayed until the end and said to Jiang Zhe, "I heard that your work about the container terminal was selected to be exhibited in the provincial capital hall?"

Jiang Zhe said: "There is such a saying, but I haven't received any official notification yet."

Professor Qin said, "It should be true. Although one of your works was not selected, the honor of having a work win an award and be selected for the provincial capital auditorium is more important. Don't think about that."

Jiang Zhe said, "I have given up thinking about it a long time ago, but I don't know if the association can return the rejected paintings to me?"

Professor Qin also laughed: "They provided the venue, materials, and subsidies for you to paint. Do you still want the painting back?"

"Ok."

"Go home quickly and show the trophy to your parents. Make your family happy. But don't act too proud at school," Professor Qin advised.

Jiang Zhe said goodbye to his teacher, returned home, and showed the trophy to his parents.

When Mr. and Mrs. Jiang Yi heard that he had won the award, they were so happy to see the trophy that they added two more trophies to the display cabinet where they collected the awards.

Monday, during the break between classes.

Jiang Zhe walked out of the classroom with a cup of water in his hand. Not far away, he heard a girl asking a boy, "Classmate, is Jiang Zhe from the freshman class of the oil painting major in this classroom?"

He looked in the direction of the sound.

A fashionable and slim girl is talking to a boy.

Jiang Zhe doesn't know this girl.

The boy being questioned was a little excited because the pretty girl took the initiative to talk to him. He turned around and saw Jiang Zhe, and shouted: "Jiang Zhe, a classmate is looking for you."
