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

Chapter 366, New Year's Lottery, Special Grade, Aerobics
In the evening, on the second floor of a restaurant.

Jiang Zhe and Chen Yan sat at the table by the window, eating and chatting.

This hotel was chosen by Jiang Zhe in advance. It was right next to the pedestrian street they were planning to visit.

At this time, the various colored lights on the street have been lit up one after another. Some tourists who want to go shopping have already arrived in advance.

In order to attract customers, many merchants use various means to decorate their shops to create an even stronger festive atmosphere.

Chen Yan glanced out the window and said to Jiang Zhe, "Wait a minute, there will be a lot of people and we may not be able to find a good spot to watch the fireworks. Do you want to go there earlier?"

Jiang Zhe said, "Don't worry, I have reserved a table at a cafe. Let's go there and watch it."

"Well, you've thought it through very carefully." Chen Yan said with a smile.

"Don't be in a hurry, eat slowly." Jiang Zhe said: "By the way, did you forget something?"

"what's up?"

"You promised me." Jiang Zhe stared at Chen Yan.

Chen Yan understood immediately and whispered, "My parents asked me to go home tonight. Tomorrow, I will go to your studio?"

Jiang Zhe said, "Okay, take a good rest this morning and come to my studio tomorrow afternoon."

Because he had to drive, he didn't drink any alcohol. He used a beverage instead of wine and clinked glasses with Chen Yan.

The two of them had dinner leisurely. It was getting darker outside, and all the lights on the commercial street were lit up.

The facades of many buildings also had festive lights, and the entire pedestrian street and the nearby sky became bright.

There were several open-air stages on the street, and people began to perform.

The cold weather cannot stop the enthusiastic tourists.

Jiang Zhe and Chen Yan put on their coats and hats, left the restaurant hand in hand, joined the crowd and started shopping.

The two walked and looked around, and when they found something they were interested in, they would stop to look at it. Chen Yan took a fancy to a cartoon headband, so Jiang Zhe bought it and put it on her.

Around 7pm, more and more people were on the pedestrian street, and some sections of the street were impassable.

Jiang Zhe looked ahead and said, "There are too many people. Should we go directly to the coffee shop?"

Chen Yan agreed immediately.

The two of them squeezed into the cafe.

This store is very expensive, but it is already crowded.

Under the guidance of the waiter, Jiang Zhe and his companion arrived at the reserved seat.

Jiang Zhe chose a seat next to the window, so he could see the fireworks without having to look up.

The waiter brought coffee and some snacks.

Jiang Zhe and Chen Yan faced the window, chatting and enjoying the night view, waiting for the fireworks.

Bang~bang~ Even through the glass, you can hear the sound of fireworks.

Look! Chen Yan pointed at the fireworks exploding in the sky.

The colorful fireworks formed beautiful patterns in the night sky.

Chen Yan tilted her head and rested her head on Jiang Zhe's shoulder.

The two people listened to the noise outside, looked at the fireworks in the night sky, and quietly enjoyed this moment.

After Jiang Zhe sent Chen Yan home, he returned to his studio and looked at the time. It was already past 9:30 pm.

He called home to report that he was safe, then stayed up until midnight, opened the system, and started the month-end settlement.

The system gives the result:

Your learning accumulation this month has reached an excellent level. You can receive a reward of 21 yuan. You can choose to accumulate rewards or receive them.

Jiang Zhe did not hesitate and chose to accumulate.

The system then gives a prompt:

Today is the last day of 2002 and you can choose to participate in the year-end lottery.

Jiang Zhe clicks on the lottery.

The lottery page is still a turntable.

The pointer rotated and stopped on a gift box.

The page shows: You have drawn the classical oil painting transparent glazing technique (special grade).

Jiang Zhe became excited. This was a technique that he had always been interested in, and he actually broke through to the special level!
He immediately clicked to receive it, and while receiving the information, he understood it. This skill package contains the common techniques of Rubens and his apprentices as well as some neoclassical painters.

Because each painter has different techniques, a lot of content is covered.

The system selected these two schools of painting because their techniques are more representative.

Reception completed.

Jiang Zhe browsed the content of the new skill.

This improvement made him more confident in completing the challenging task.

Seeing that there were no further prompts from the system, Jiang Zhe prepared to take a rest.

He glanced out the window and there seemed to be some light in the sky.

Hello, 2003.

In the morning, Jiang Zhe gets up, does exercise, cooks, and then sits down in front of his easel to start his work.

He recalled in his mind some scenes he had seen backstage in the auditorium yesterday, as well as some footage he had seen on the pedestrian street.

On the draft paper, draw some images that interest you, and then try to combine them.

He first considered the scene in the dressing room behind the scenes of the auditorium. This draft was inspired by the works of Manet and Degas.

The main scene of the work is several actors sitting in front of a row of makeup mirrors.

There are three main actors and two makeup artists.

Because of the viewing angle, only the backs of the heads of several of them could be seen, and their faces were reflected in the mirror.

Through a row of mirrors, you can also see other people and scenes in the dressing room, such as other actors and staff who are busy with their work.

After Jiang Zhe made adjustments, he began to try to draw the details.

The light source in this picture comes from two directions. The light above the makeup mirror is not shown in the picture as much as possible, and the light and dark of the characters are used to express it. Another part of the light source comes from the top of the dressing room.

Jiang Zhe uses the reflections in the mirror to portray the characters. Although it is a bit blurry, after repeated adjustments, the movements of some important characters can still be clearly expressed.

After several adjustments, the actor closest to the screen was shown looking back to chat, but who he was chatting with was not shown in the picture.

I was busy until the afternoon, and this draft finally became a relatively complete sketch.

Jiang Zhe looked at the time and estimated that Chen Yan would be here soon, so he began to make preparations.

Chen Yan knocked on the door, walked into the studio, and immediately felt something different.

A vacant space was cleared in the studio.

There is a sports mat on the open space in front of the sofa.

When she saw this scene, she thought of what she had said to Jiang Zhe yesterday.

At this time, Jiang Zhe closed the door and then closed all the curtains.

Chen Yan asked knowingly: "What are you doing?"

Jiang Zhe began to adjust the lights: "I've been looking forward to watching your performance. Do you need to prepare?"

"You really want to jump?"

"Look, I've set up the stage for you."

Chen Yan bit her lip and said, "Okay, wait a moment."

She went into the bedroom.

Jiang Zhe instructed: "I also prepared clothes for you."

"Got it." Chen Yan closed the door.

Jiang Zhe began to adjust the sound system, found a piece of music with a similar rhythm, and adjusted the volume to a level that would liven up the atmosphere without disturbing others.

The bedroom door was opened.

Jiang Zhe sat on the sofa, looked at Chen Yan who had changed her clothes, and slowly walked to the stage.

She had her hair tied up, wore a dance costume similar to a swimsuit, and stood barefoot in front of Jiang Zhe.

Jiang Zhe pressed the switch and the music slowly started playing.

Chen Yan made a starting movement following the music.

The rhythm of the sound gradually quickened...
