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

Chapter 358, Reporting into the Academy Hall of Honor

On Friday afternoon, the sophomore oil painting studio was filled with the smell of oil paints and various mixing oils, and the students were busy painting.

Jiang Zhe was holding a paintbrush and looking at the picture.

The man in the painting is sitting on a wooden bench in a relaxed manner. The brushstrokes used to depict the face, along with the changes in light and shade, perfectly present the structure and skin color.

The different textures of pigments and oils make the texture of the skin appear very realistic.

When depicting the character's hands, Jiang Zhe used a special technique, using nearly dry paint to show the rough feeling of the skin.

These methods of depicting characters are improved upon the classical shading techniques.

Direct painting method is used to depict the background and accessories of the characters.

There is a window on the right side of the man, that is, on the left side of the picture. The light coming through the window shines on the man, making the light and dark, cold and warm changes of the man and the background more rich.

The system's evaluation of this painting is excellent.

Jiang Zhe couldn't find any place to make changes, so he stopped writing, cleaned up the brush, and waited for school to be over.

He picked up his phone and saw that Wang Zhen had called him once, so he walked out of the studio to answer the call.

There were a few classmates around who had also finished painting and came over to see his work.

Several people were discussing Jiang Zhe's paintings and where they could learn from them.

Teacher Chi also came over at this time.

Several students used Jiang Zhe's paintings as examples and asked the teacher for advice.

Teacher Chi said: "The first impression of this painting is that the overall color is soft and bright. The characters are heavy, but not dull."

"Did you add any materials to the color of the hands?" a student asked. At this time, other students thought that the materials used by Jiang Zhe to paint his hands were very unique, and were looking at his palette, trying to find out what materials he used.

Teacher Chi said: "You are undergraduate students. You can't learn other people's specific color mixing materials like high school students. You should learn methods. Here, he used some paints that were about to dry and lacked luster. Look at the bright part of the hand, it is very thick, but when it turns to the dark part, the color becomes translucent. The thick color is like being spread on a colored glass plate."

He pointed to the head of the figure in the painting and said, "Look at the relationship between light and dark in the head. It is not just painted heavy, the color gradually turns cold."

He measured the distance between front and back with his hands: "In this way, a sense of air will appear. The airy feeling of the picture will naturally appear.

Many people also paint spatial distances, but it is easy to make the painting airy. The few strokes of color he used to paint the hair and ears have a watercolor feel and brighten the overall color.”

At this moment, Jiang Zhe had just finished a call.

Wang Zhen called and told him that the materials sent from Venice had just arrived at the relevant department and needed to be picked up tomorrow, and asked him to go with him to pick up the materials.

After Jiang Zhe agreed, he took his phone back to the studio.

Teacher Chi saw him coming back and said to him, "Not bad, this painting has a different style and is very transparent overall."

After praising Jiang Zhe, he assigned the students a task for next week. Next week was landscape sketching, which would be done on campus, and materials needed to be prepared.

After class, students put their works on easels and waited for teachers to grade them.

Jiang Zhe was carrying his painting supplies box and walking towards the parking lot when he met Teacher Hu on the way.

"Jiang Zhe, have the award materials arrived?"

Jiang Zhe replied: "It just arrived today. I will pick it up tomorrow morning."

"Please wait a moment." Teacher Hu immediately called Professor Qin.

After getting the answer, she said to Jiang Zhe: "Our school means that you get the materials and come to school to take pictures immediately. Is it difficult?"

"No problem, I remember it."

Jiang Zhe drove home, had dinner with his parents, and then returned to his studio.

I probably won’t have much free time tomorrow morning, so I’ll spend the afternoon with Chen Yan to relax.

So, starting tonight, he plans to copy another famous work. Although he has won awards in succession, the challenge of improving his sketching skills has not yet been completed.

He pulled out a sketch by Dürer from the system data and began to copy it...

On Sunday morning, Jiang Zhe and Wang Zhen successfully obtained the award materials.

The two returned to the car and Wang Zhen asked the driver to drive.

Jiang Zhe opened the materials. When he received them just now, he just checked them, but now he was looking at them.

A certificate and a medal.

The certificate contains the award information and the bronze medal is a simple floral-shaped plaque, like a small bookmark, with a simple design.

"It's a bit shabby." Jiang Zhe held the sign and gave his evaluation.

Wang Zhen also took it to admire it. "It's already very good. It can't be made too expensive, otherwise, the cost will be too high. Take it home, put a crystal stand on it, and it will look good. The key is that it has great significance."

Jiang Zhe said: "I also took the certificate to the school, and the school asked me to go back and promote it."

"Okay, let's go to the gallery first and take some photos of you. Then, I'll send a car to take you there."

Back at the gallery, Wang Zhen asked Jiang Zhe to stand next to her work with the certificate and took a few photos for future promotional materials. She took a photo with Jiang Zhe.

Jiang Zhe was looking at the photo and suddenly remembered that when many painters pose for photos, there is often a beautiful woman next to them.

……

Teacher Hu was sorting out the lesson plans in the office. Originally, she didn't have to go to work today, but knowing that Jiang Zhe would come over to get the materials, Professor Qin asked her to participate in the promotion as well.

The phone rang.

She saw that it was Jiang Zhe's number and answered it immediately: "Hello...are you here? Okay, go directly to the school history museum. I'll be waiting for you there."

She put down the phone, called Professor Qin first, then grabbed her camera and rushed to the school history museum.

Jiang Zhe walked slowly to the entrance of the school history museum, a small two-story entrance, which displayed various honors and archives since the founding of the school.

Teacher Hu trotted over and asked: "Did you get the award materials?"

"Teacher Hu, look." Jiang Zhe took out two documents from the file bag.

"It's very good. It looks very nice." Teacher Hu commented as he watched.

Soon, Professor Qin and a teacher from the Academic Affairs Office came over together.

"Jiang Zhe, let's go in and take some pictures quickly." The teacher from the Academic Affairs Office asked the administrator to open the door.

Jiang Zhe visited the school history museum once, but was unable to visit its entirety.

On the west side of the first floor is the school development exhibition room, and on the east side is the honor exhibition room.

Several people came to the honor exhibition room. There are two rows of glass display cabinets, displaying many honor materials.

There are certificates and awards received by previous teachers and students.

The newest display case displays some of this year's honors, including replicas of materials that Jiang Zhe won in a U.S. portrait painting competition.

"This is the second time you have put the honor here, which is very rare," commented a teacher from the Academic Affairs Office.

"Take a photo here." Professor Qin and others chose a spot together, and asked Jiang Zhe to take a photo holding the trophy and medal. Soon, the department head also came over, and several people took a group photo.

"Jiang Zhe, congratulations again!" The department head carefully examined the award materials. "We will post the congratulatory message on Monday. When reporters interview our school, they may look for you, so you should prepare in advance."

"Understood." The materials will be left in the school, and the originals will be retrieved after the copies are made.

After leaving school, Jiang Zhe returned to the studio and had lunch with Chen Yan. After exercising, they both fell asleep.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Zhe woke up, felt thirsty, and got up to drink water.

Suddenly I received a call from Mr. Wu.

"Brother, you haven't exercised for a long time. When you have time, please come to my place to play. I want to thank you very much!" After the call was connected, Mr. Wu was very polite.

"Boss Wu, I didn't do anything, why are you thanking me?"

Mr. Wu said: "I got a great deal by buying your work.

At that time, some people still questioned the purchase of the works.

Now, I heard that your paintings were sold at high prices. Some shareholders here, including customers, asked me if they could buy the paintings. How could it be possible? The board of directors would not agree.

Yesterday, when the board of directors was in session, the chairman and several major shareholders all said that I had good investment vision. So, I want to thank you. Remember, you must come to exercise, and you must give me a chance to express my gratitude. "

Jiang Zhe had no choice but to agree and promise to go when he had free time.

After hanging up the phone and returning to the bedroom, Chen Yan woke up and said, "Sorry for waking you up."

"No, I woke up on my own. Are you okay?"

Jiang Zhe said: "Congratulations on the auction of my work."

"Let's go out and play sometime."

"No problem. Next week." Although Jiang Zhe would like to live an easier life, he still has a fixed time for study and accumulation.

On the other side, in Mr. Wu’s office.

Mr. Wu put down his phone and looked at the skinny man sitting on the sofa opposite him.

"Boss Jian, you saw that I just made a phone call, but I can't guarantee when he will come.

I think, if you want to buy paintings, why don’t you go directly to the auction or find Wang Zhen’s gallery?”

President Jian looked at him and said, "President Wu, I've been there. There are indeed paintings at the gallery, but they are not for sale. I tried once at the auction, but I couldn't win over them. Those people don't take money seriously at all."

President Wu laughed, thought for a moment, and said, "If you want to bypass galleries and auctions and buy paintings directly from Jiang Zhe, it may not work. I'll recommend someone to you. You can go find President Liao and President Ning. What do you think?"

President Jian looked at the business card that President Wu took out and said, "I can't get in touch with President Liao at all. President Ning, you can contact him."

……

In the evening, Jiang Zhe sent Chen Yan home and then returned to his studio.

He continued with his previous copying.

After two hours of concentrated copying, I finished a work. However, when I opened the system and checked the skills, I found that my sketching skills had not changed at all.

He was not in a hurry. There was still time. As long as he persisted, there would always be a chance for a breakthrough.

Before going to bed, he opened the honor value page. The cursor on the experience bar moved forward a little bit.

Jiang Zhe compared the distances of the two movements and found that this movement was larger. It should be that many people contributed honor points to him yesterday and today.
