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

Chapter 262: I accidentally drew it too similar
Jiang Zhe walked on the riverbank, admiring the works of his classmates. After resting, he returned to his easel.

Looking at the watch, it is 3: in the afternoon.

He changed to a quartet of watercolor paper and prepared to paint another one.

Adjust your seat and turn the other way.

From here you can see the flowing river, part of the earth cliff on the other side of the river and the steeply rising river bank.

Shooting from this angle, the material is not abundant, but Jiang Zhe has other considerations.

He wanted to create a decorative, experimental work that did not simply pursue realism.

The earth cliffs, woods, distant mountains and sky on the other side of the stream are all processed into the background. These elements will be presented again in the reflection of the river surface. The close-up of the picture is still a large pebble beach.

As he thought, he drew a rough draft with a pencil and then quickly began to apply color.

Green, brown, and loess blend into each other under the action of water, breaking the outline of the pencil.

Jiang Zhe used the same color to paint the many reflections on the river surface. At this time, the colors of the picture are hazy and blurred, and even the boundary between the river bank and the reflections cannot be seen clearly.

He waited until the color was half dry, and then used a scraper to scrape out the reflections on the water surface. The irregular light-colored blocks and lines scraped out not only showed his skill in vividly presenting the reflections, but also implied the depth of the space.

Jiang Zhe continues to smudge the color of the background, creating subtle changes in the haziness and blurriness. The many shapes in the background present a seemingly ambiguous effect, like a rainy scene.

While painting the background, I also didn't forget the foreground. If I had the right color on my brush, I would just paint a few strokes on the foreground.

With this synchronous advancement, the picture effect quickly reached the expected level.

Jiang Zhe paused, examined the picture, and then casually drew a few classmates who were sketching into the work.

The characters occupy a very small proportion in the painting and are just embellishments to add a touch of interest.

After Fu Min finished her work, she came over to see Jiang Zhe's sketch: "Hey, your watercolors are different from before. They look a bit like rain scenes."

As Jiang Zhe painted, he said, "I made the background blurry so that it could highlight the scenery on the river."

At this time, a student majoring in Chinese painting said, "The characters you painted are so lifelike."

Fu Min also nodded in agreement.

Jiang Zhe was speechless after hearing this comment. The dynamics of the heads and torsos of the several figures in the painting were all highlighted with two or three strokes. Because the strokes were concise and the dynamics were accurate, they looked very similar.

I clearly didn't want to draw it too realistically, but due to long-term practice, I accidentally drew it too realistically.

He finished the work, waited for the surface to dry, and then tested it with the system. This experimental work was also evaluated as a masterpiece.

He called the system and saw that the number of works he had completed the task had dropped to 16. If he continued at this pace, he should be able to draw masterpieces in eight days, which would be more than enough to complete the task.

He decided to relax and finish his sketching this afternoon.

I walked over to Lan Xin and saw her sketching a village. Although there was no color, the charcoal-pencil method gave the sketch a hint of ink painting.

Inspired, Jiang Zhe chose to use an art pen to depict the scenery of the village entrance in his sketchbook.

The sloping dirt road at the entrance of the village, the grass, several huge locust trees, poplar trees, and the houses scattered near the entrance of the village are all very charming elements, but bold choices need to be made.

Jiang Zhe wanted to imitate the charm of traditional Chinese painting, so he only used lines to create shapes, making the lines as precise or interesting as possible and reducing errors or repetitions.

The students finished their sketching one after another, and when they saw Jiang Zhe drawing sketches, they also chose to use sketches to express similar subjects.

Teachers will also patrol while students are sketching.

Teacher Hu and several others looked at Jiang Zhe's work, and then went to see the works of other students.

Jiang Zhe heard several classmates suddenly laughing, and they laughed very happily.

He walked over to take a look and immediately understood the reason.

In order to add some fun to the painting, one student drew the egret chickens and chicks foraging at the entrance of the village. The idea was good, but unfortunately, the painting was too detailed, and the egret chickens looked like children's paintings. The original very realistic style of painting suddenly intruded with the animal images of children's paintings, which made people feel like wearing suits and leggings.

Teacher Hu took Jiang Zhe's sketchbook and said to several students, "Look, Jiang Zhe's method is very suitable. Just draw the outline and dynamics." The teacher of Chinese painting also came over, took a look at Jiang Zhe's sketch, and took the sketchbook from Teacher Hu. He stared at the work for a while and asked Jiang Zhe, "The blank space between the tree trunk and the road surface is very interesting. What do you think?"

When Jiang Zhe was painting, he just made choices based on his feelings. The trees in the painting only have outlines, without deliberately outlining the bark and leaves. The few blank spaces that echo the objects in the fine brushstrokes form a sparse and dense contrast.

Faced with the teacher's questions, he had to think of reasons on the spot, such as the rhythm of brush and ink, the contrast between black and white, etc.

After hearing this, the teacher was very impressed and said to the students of his major: "Look at the lines in this painting, they are very precise and very close to the line drawing technique. The black and white contrast of the picture is something you should practice more."

Several students looked at Jiang Zhe with some resentment.

At 4: pm, the sun was setting and the light was getting dim. The teacher and the monitor began to greet the students and return to the sketching base.

……

A junior boy from Binhai Academy of the Arts was invited to the office by the counselor.

The boy was confused: "Teacher, what do you want from me?"

The counselor looked at him, said nothing, and motioned for him to sit down and wait.

The deputy directors of the departments and teachers from the student affairs office came into the office one after another.

The boy felt that the atmosphere was wrong and his expression began to become stiff.

……

Jiang Zhe and his group walked back to the sketching base, and only the sunset glow remained in the sky.

Lights have been turned on in most of the rooms in the sketching base.

Students were chatting in the dormitories, visiting each other, or hanging out in the courtyard. The sounds and aromas of cooking could be heard from the kitchen. The whole courtyard was filled with the smell of life.

Jiang Zhe and Mou Xing returned to the dormitory to pack up their painting supplies. The other two boys in the dormitory came back one after another.

They went to another village to sketch in the afternoon and told Jiang Zhe and the others about what they saw and heard along the way.

Jiang Zhe was chatting with his classmates when his cell phone rang.

He saw that it was Chen Yan's number and walked out of the room. However, the courtyard was also noisy and someone greeted him.

He had no choice but to press the answer button. "Chen Yan, wait a moment. I'll answer the call outside the sketching base."

"I heard it. Your noise is too loud." Chen Yan said.

Jiang Zhe walked out of the courtyard, found a quiet place, held up his cell phone, and started talking to Chen Yan.

Chen Yan asked: "Why haven't you called me yet?"

Jiang Zhe said, "I just came back from sketching."

Chen Yan complained once, then began to ask with concern: "Are your living conditions good? How's the food..."

After chatting about family matters for a while, she said, "You were out today, and there was a lot of excitement in the school. It's a pity that you didn't see it."

Jiang Zhe asked, "What's so exciting that makes you so happy?"

Chen Yan said: "Do you still remember the rumors about you?"

Jiang Zhe asked: "Why, there is a new version?"

Chen Yan said: "This excitement was caused by rumors. Do you want to hear it?"

"Tell me quickly." Jiang Zhe was able to listen to this matter with a calm mind.

Chen Yan said: "In the Department of Plastic Arts, there is a junior girl who reported her classmates for spreading this rumor."

Jiang Zhe was surprised: "There is such a thing. How did you know that she reported someone else?"
