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

Chapter 269, Imperfect Beauty, Model
Jin Yuming was pacing in the living room. When he saw Director Jin appear, he immediately went over to greet her: "Sister, you're back."

Mr. Jin took off his sunglasses: "You didn't go out?"

"I've been waiting for you. Did you sign a contract with the Lanpu Group?"

"Yes."

"The price they offered was very low." Jin Yuming was annoyed.

"Who told you that? Come in with me." Director Jin took his brother back to the study.

Jin Yuming couldn't wait to ask: "Those assets?"

"Take a look at this. After you read it, don't say a word to anyone." Director Jin took out a document and threw it on the table.

Jin Yuming picked up the document and looked at it for a moment. His hands began to tremble. With a click, the document was thrown back on the table.

"This, this price is tantamount to taking advantage of the situation."

Director Jin snorted coldly, "Among all the companies willing to buy, this is the highest price."

"According to these conditions, a large part of our Honglu Group has been controlled by them." Jin Yuming said: "Can it be saved?"

"No, unless we are prepared to go bankrupt. This is the best solution." Mr. Jin said calmly.

"That Lan Xiaowen obviously has bad intentions towards you." Jin Yuming gritted his teeth.

"How do you know?" asked Mr. Jin.

Jin Yuming said: "The last time we met, he stared at you with eyes that were not concealed at all."

"I know."

"You knew it and you delivered it to your door?"

Director Jin said earnestly: "Now, it's useless to say all this. I hope you can grow up quickly.

In order to save the company left by my father and to prevent you from living on the streets, you should also know some shameful things and learn to face them. Even if you feel wronged, you should not show it.

Please help me draw a picture."

Jin Yuming didn't understand why the topic of painting was brought up at this time.

“What kind of painting do you want?

"I want to be a model. I want a style that is beautiful and seductive."

"Are you crazy?" Jin Yuming looked at his sister. He knew that some people had always coveted his sister but had never been able to succeed.

Now that his sister was going to be a model herself, he had a bad feeling.

Although Jin Yuming had some problems due to being spoiled, he was not stupid. "What do you want to do with this painting?"

"Find someone who can help us."

……

On Sunday, Jiang Zhe looked through some materials on famous group paintings.

While viewing Van Eyck's Ghent Altarpiece, he was drawn to the many bizarre experiences that occurred within the set.

At the same time, the form of this altarpiece also gave him some inspiration. The Ghent Altarpiece is composed of many works of different sizes, combined into a set and connected by a frame.

Jiang Zhe considered that his own series of paintings could partially borrow from this form.

Paintings with different contents are presented in different forms and sizes of canvases. It doesn't matter what size, as long as they can be combined into the same theme.

After considering the issue of form, he began to think about the second problem to be solved - the beauty of the group painting.

The villages in the mountains are a kind of vicissitudes of life. Among them, it is inevitable that there are some shabby images. How to express the beauty of such images, how to be accepted by the audience, and even whether they can surpass my previous works.

Jiang Zhe couldn't find the answer, so he tried to find inspiration from the works of some masters.

I was flipping through Caravaggio's collection of works and saw the basket of fruit that I had once copied.

The main object in the basket is a worm-eaten apple, and the leaves next to it are also dry, giving the picture a sense of incompleteness or imperfection;
A similar fruit basket with similar details appears in another painting by Caravaggio.

When Jiang Zhe saw this feature, he remembered what he had thought about during the copying process, and suddenly understood some information and vaguely grasped a hint of inspiration.

The painter chose to depict imperfect fruits not only to show the fun of life, but also to deliberately show a kind of imperfection. This imperfection may make you imagine an apple or something else in its perfect state, which is equivalent to giving the audience room for imagination.

Jiang Zhe thought that he could also portray a less perfect image.

Children, old women, farmers in the village. These images are not so glamorous, but each of them has a story. This imperfection may allow you to expand your imagination, so expressing imperfection is also a very high-level beauty.

Jiang Zhe figured out a few problems and found a direction. He quickly began to choose themes. A girl and a flock of sheep, a vendor at the market, an old couple with a story, a farmer returning from work... These characters can be used as the theme of a painting.

He first made a quick sketch, and if he thought the work was good, he would gradually perfect it into a rough draft.

Because I was so absorbed in the painting, I didn't realize it was already evening.

……

Jin Yuming's studio.

He sat in front of the easel, carefully sketching an oil painting.

Not far from the easel, there is a Western-style bed.

Dong Jin was covered in gauze, lying on her side on the bed, trying her best to pose in a seductive manner.

Jin Yuming has painted many portraits, but this was the first time he faced his sister as a model. After painting for a while, he gradually got used to it.

Mr. Jin was already tired, but he still tried his best to persevere.

"Ok?"

"Well, it's almost there, don't move yet." Jin Yuming said.

"I see other people who are models have rest time. Why do you..." asked Director Jin.

"Don't bother me, okay?"

Similar conversations occurred several times.

When Director Jin was already feeling exhausted, he finally heard Jin Yuming say, "Okay."

He stood up and moved around, relaxed.

Director Jin picked up his clothes, walked to the easel in his slippers, took a look at the picture, and his nose was almost crooked with anger.

"You, what are you drawing?"

"This is a portrait. You asked me to draw it for you." Jin Yuming said.

"Is that me you drew?" Jin Dong saw that he was indeed in a similar position in the painting, lying on the bed. However, the outline of the figure was clear and the brushstrokes were like a child's painting. The most annoying thing was that the face of the person in the painting did not show his beauty at all.

The woman in the painting has small eyes, long eyebrows, and particularly large whites of her eyes.

"Did you draw me so ugly on purpose?" asked Mr. Jin.

During the creative process, Jin Yuming had already forgotten what he was going to do with this painting.

He faced doubts and insisted on his own opinion. "I used Modigliani's method."

Director Jin interrupted immediately: "I don't care what you use. If you take this kind of painting out, will anyone want it?"

"You may not like it, but don't say it so harshly." Jin Yuming defended.

Director Jin said, "You know that time is precious, but you still want to waste my entire afternoon!"

"What style of painting do you want?"

Director Jin finally found a painting by Titian in Jin Yuming's study.

Jin Yuming said that it could not be completed.

"I shouldn't have looked for you. Forget it, I'll look for someone else."

Director Jin turned and walked towards the studio door.

Jin Yuming followed him and said, "There are many people in this circle who are just famous for nothing. After you choose them, let me screen them for you first."

"roll!"
