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

Chapter 313, Different Paths, Topic Selection
The gallery's workshop.

When Jiang Zhe was chatting with his classmates, Lan Xin never interrupted him.

She took the opportunity when Jiang Zhe helped her hold the picture frame to say thank you, and then asked: "Manager Wang suggested that we participate in the competition, do you want to participate?"

Jiang Zhe asked back: "Do you want to participate?"

"Want to participate."

"I'd like to, but I'm not sure." Several people answered at the same time.

They just took a short break and started preparing their painting supplies while chatting.

Jiang Zhe said: "I plan to prepare the work as soon as possible. I will give it a try whether I am sure or not."

Fu Min asked, "You have already started selling paintings, and the prices are still very high. What if, I mean, what if you don't win the prize, wouldn't it be embarrassing?"

Jiang Zhe said: "I'm not afraid of losing face, I'll give it a try."

Fu Min stretched out a piece of canvas and continued, "What subject do you want to paint?"

Jiang Zhe thought for a moment and said, "I haven't thought about it carefully yet. The general direction should be to paint seaside scenery or portraits."

Mou Xing said, "When are you going to the beach to sketch? Let's go together?"

"it is good."

"We'll go too," Fu Min said. Lan Xin also expressed her desire to go.

While they were talking, the other two people who were temporarily pulled in to take the order had no chance to participate in the discussion.

After waiting for this topic to come to an end, a boy asked several people: "Have you received invitations from teachers and classmates at school to attend the pre-exam class?"

As soon as Jiang Zhe heard it, he understood that this person must have received an invitation.

After he came back from the provincial capital, Professor Qin told him about this kind of thing, but he didn't want to participate.

Not only in college, but even some of his teachers and classmates in high school called him and invited him to attend tutoring classes during the holidays, but he politely declined.

If it was in his previous life, he would not have had such an opportunity. However, now he no longer wanted to participate.

First, you can’t make much money; second, the preparatory class may not really require your professional level. To a large extent, the preparatory class needs to use the excellent examples of passing the art exam to motivate the candidates. Therefore, Jiang Zhe didn’t take these things to heart.

Fu Min glanced at the person asking the question: "Jiao Linjie, have you received an invitation?"

Jiao Linjie looked at the boys next to him and said, "We received the invitation, but we haven't decided whether to go. I want to ask you what you think?"

Fu Min and the others could tell that this person was showing off a bit while asking. After all, being invited by teachers and classmates meant that they recognized his painting skills.

Jiang Zhe felt a little bored when he saw Jiao Linjie looking at him with an inquiring look, but he still responded politely: "Professor Qin told me something similar and helped me decline the offer."

After hearing Jiang Zhe's response, Jiao Linjie's original competitive spirit was immediately extinguished.

Many students in the school knew about Jiang Zhe's story. Some were envious, while others were naturally dissatisfied. Students studying art were unwilling to admit that they were not as good as their peers.

He gave the reason he had thought of long ago: "I am hesitating whether to go to the training class or continue to take commercial paintings here?"

Fu Min and the others stopped what they were doing one after another.

Jiao Linjie's reason was far-fetched, but it just hit the nail on the head.

In training classes, you need to consider the teacher's reputation; the money you earn in a gallery will be slightly more, but it is unstable.

Jiang Zhe saw the hesitation of Fu Min and the others. "This matter depends on your situation. If you want to be a professional painter, then focus on the gallery; if you want to take the postgraduate entrance examination and stay in school, then you have to build a good relationship with the school."

He said this with a purpose. The school was about to start in the second year, and many students in the class had already thought about taking the postgraduate entrance examination and had begun to prepare. Some students even thought about employment or staying in school. His words did not resolve the doubts of several people, but instead aroused more thoughts in them.

Jiang Zhe also understood that this choice could only be made by themselves. No matter how good the relationship was when they were studying, everyone had their own path to take.

"My chatting here will delay your work. When you have time, tell me and we can go sketching together." He took the initiative to say goodbye, rejected the attempts of several people to keep him, and left the gallery.

On the way back to his studio, Jiang Zhe kept thinking about the issue of participating in the competition, but he couldn't figure it out. Seeing that it was still early, he simply called Professor Qin.

Professor Qin was resting at home, so he asked him to meet him directly at his home.

The Art College has teachers' dormitories.

Although it is called a dormitory, it is actually a semi-independent community next to the campus. The community is separated from the campus by a fence, with an entrance and exit.

The community does not cover a large area, and all of it consists of four to five-story buildings with a uniform style and is very quiet.

Jiang Zhe came with gifts.

The person who opened the door was Professor Qin's lover.

"Hello, Teacher Zheng." Jiang Zhe addressed him as teacher?

"Jiang Zhe is here, come in quickly, why do you always bring gifts when you come?" Professor Qin's wife was not young anymore, so she let Jiang Zhe in. "Your teacher Qin is in the studio."

She called out to the studio entrance: "Lao Qin, Jiang Zhe is here."

Although it is an old house, it is quite large and one of the rooms has been turned into a painting studio.

Professor Qin, wearing shorts, a vest and slippers, appeared at the door of the studio and walked into the studio with Jiang Zhe.

He pointed to a few chairs and said, "Find a place to sit."

The studio is well lit and has an area of ​​about 20 square meters. There are several shelves against the wall, on which there are various books and some collections collected by Professor Qin over the years. These collections are not very valuable, but some small gadgets with local characteristics, such as dolls, ornaments, souvenirs, etc.

There are easels and various painting tools, as well as finished or unfinished works, on the open space indoors. There are several pots of green plants on the windowsill.

There are many items in this studio, but they are arranged in an orderly manner.

Professor Qin's lover brought some fruit to the two of them, and Jiang Zhe hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

Teacher Zheng signaled him to be polite.

Professor Qin said, "Are you having any problems again?"

Jiang Zhe spoke frankly and expressed his confusion.

Professor Qin thought for a moment and said, "I suggest you actively participate in this competition. Whether you can win the honor or not is not the point. I have told you before that if you are confused, think about your state during the art exam and your mentality when you first started learning to paint.

As long as you maintain your passion and vision, these gains and losses will not be a problem.

In addition, regarding your future development, you cannot shut yourself off from the world when learning painting. You must keep in touch with the art market and audiences, understand the current art, keep in touch with good painters, and absorb nutrients that are useful to you. In this way, you will not be out of touch with the times. "

He waited for a while, letting Jiang Zhe digest the information, before continuing: "Regarding the subject of the painting. I think you must be good at playing to your strengths.

No matter what your current level is, you must make good use of your strengths. Your landscape and portrait paintings already have their own advantages. If you can combine the two and make some changes in content or form, I believe there will be a breakthrough.

Good works should allow the audience to expand their imagination and make discoveries.”

Jiang Zhe listened to Professor Qin's words and thought of many possibilities.
