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

Chapter 351, Difficulty of winning awards, doubts, new courses

After dinner, Jiang Zhe and Chen Yan took a walk on the campus.

Because there was no wind today, many people came out for a walk in the evening, especially those who had friends of the opposite sex.

"Chen Yan!" The two of them had just walked through the garden when they heard the girl greeting Chen Yan.

Jiang Zhe and Chen Yan turned their heads to look over and saw a few girls carrying musical instruments passing by not far away. They were probably going to training.

One of the girls was Chen Yan’s high school classmate.

Chen Yan waved to her.

The other party also responded with a smile on his face.

After the other person walked away, Jiang Zhe said to Chen Yan, "What's going on? Didn't you say that you were estranged from her?"

Chen Yan took Jiang Zhe's hand and said, "She took the initiative to say hello several times. I can't just pretend I didn't see it. I know what's going on and I'm just being polite on the surface."

At this time, several girls from the music department were also talking about Jiang Zhe. "Li Yi! The boy next to your classmate must be Jiang Zhe, right?"

"Yes, it's him."

“I feel like this person is pretty cold.”

Li Yi explained: "At that time, some people said that he vilified us in his works. I am a soft-hearted person. When I went to see the paintings, I made them look not very nice in front of Chen Yan. Later, I realized that he didn't mean to vilify us maliciously, so I took the initiative to ease the relationship. I guess he still felt a little uncomfortable."

Another girl said, "Did you say that because you saw that her work won an award?"

"No." Li Yi denied.

The girl who raised the question continued to tease, "I heard that the painting he drew of our training room has been sent to auction. If it sells for a high price, you guys will probably benefit from it. It's a pity that I wasn't in the training room at the time."

The girl who had been silent the whole time said, "How can it be that easy? Although his paintings have won awards abroad, it is not that easy to sell his paintings abroad. Do the collectors there know who he is? They don't recognize our country's oil paintings at all. Only here do people think he is pretty good."

"What you said seems to make sense." Someone agreed.

The girl continued, "Besides the auctions he has seen in China, can anyone tell me which company is auctioning his works abroad?"

Everyone was speechless because they had only heard rumors.

"It's hard to say whether this is true or not." The girl said with some pride.

At this time, Jiang Zhe had already sent Chen Yan to the downstairs of the dormitory.

After they parted, he walked to the parking lot and met Professor Qin who was about to drive.

Jiang Zhe greeted him.

Professor Qin stopped opening the car door. "I need to drive out for a while. Are you going back to your studio?"

"Teacher, I have good news to tell you." After considering it, Jiang Zhe decided to tell Professor Qin about his award.

"Oh, really?" Professor Qin immediately closed the car door and turned to face Jiang Zhe. "Is the news confirmed?"

"Today, Wang Zhen told me that the results have been announced. Unfortunately, it's just a bronze medal." Jiang Zhe said calmly.

Professor Qin showed you a look of confusion: "Don't worry about the prize, as long as you get it. It's hard to win a prize in this competition. We are in different cultural circles than them. In the past, there were Chinese painters who won prizes there, either because they had studied abroad or had special circumstances. You just submitted your work and won the prize in one go, what else do you want? This, this is already very surprising.

Our school knows about this competition, but we have never organized a large-scale participation of teachers and students because we know it is difficult to win a prize.

I never thought you could make a breakthrough."

As he talked about Jiang Zhe, the smile on his face became brighter and brighter.

Jiang Zhe said, "Teacher, can you please not spread this news until I get the award information?"

"Okay." Professor Qin said, "When you get the certificate, be sure to bring it here so that we can have a look and promote it for you. I still have to tell the department head and the dean." "Understood. You go ahead and do your work. I'll go back first." Jiang Zhe said goodbye.

"Be careful." After giving the instructions, Professor Qin opened the car door, sat in the driver's seat, and watched Jiang Zhe drive away through the window.

He knew that Jiang Zhe had sent his work to a competition in Venice, but he had no hope. However, Jiang Zhe brought him another surprise.

Thinking of this, he took out his phone and reported to the department head. "...Okay, wait a minute, let's talk in person."

He put down the phone and started the car. I'm afraid the publicity he had prepared would have to wait.

……

Jiang Zhe returned to the studio and opened the system to check his honor value.

Unfortunately, the news of the award has not spread yet. Therefore, the cursor of the honor experience bar has hardly moved, and it is still a little short of the end.

He estimated that once the news of the auction or the award spread, the cursor of the honor value should reach the end.

He adjusted his mood and prepared to start copying.

Although I am happy, I still need to persist in my daily learning. A few days ago, I copied Dürer's self-portrait twice. Today, I want to change the content.

Jiang Zhe found another famous work by Dürer.

In this painting, Dürer used sketching and coloring techniques to depict a rabbit.

The rabbit in the painting is lively and realistic. Every hair and whisker on the rabbit is carefully outlined. The pointed nails and messy fur make it look like a dirty hare.

Jiang Zhe read the painting carefully and felt that the painting gave him the same feeling as if he encountered a hare while walking in the wild. If he took another step forward, the hare would run away.

He carefully distinguished the details, paying special attention to the rabbit's eyes. He could see that the reflection on the rabbit's eyes reflected the two arched windows.

This is a painting from 500 years ago, and it most likely reflects Dürer's studio.

Jiang Zhe was interested in this painting and tried to copy it using sketching techniques. The painting was skillful and was a good learning material, but it required a lot of concentration to appreciate.

He did not require that every stroke should be close to the original, but tried his best to experience the spirit and think while painting.

It is difficult to explore the meaning behind this kind of painting, or in other words, this painting uses technique to convince people.

The beauty of painting lies in the fact that the picture is frozen in a moment. As for what other information the work contains, the audience can use this to start their imagination. Any external factor may make people imagine different information. Perhaps this is the interesting part of painting. Painting with this mood will make the process enjoyable.

After finishing the sketch, Jiang Zhe took out water-soluble colored pencils and tried to color the painting.

……

Thursday morning. After Jiang Zhe had breakfast, he and Chen Yan walked out of the canteen together.

"I'm going to the parking lot to get my tools. You don't have to follow me."

"Don't you need my help?"

"There aren't many things. You should go to the classroom quickly."

"I'll wait for you in the cafeteria at noon." Chen Yan left.

Jiang Zhe walked into the studio carrying a toolbox and an oil painting frame with a stretched canvas.

Several students have already started adjusting their positions.

Jiang Zhe adjusted his large oil painting easel to the desired position.

Today is a figure painting. Although the model has not arrived yet, the model's position is fixed.
