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

Friday afternoon.

Jiang Zhe stood beside the easel, looking at his oil painting.

This work is 80 cm high and 1 meter wide.

There are two figures in the painting. Yuan Xiaohan is wearing a light-colored dance costume and standing slightly to the right of the center line.

Because of her large movements, she was able to maintain the balance of the picture. Not far behind her, Luan Yuhui was watching her movements.

Both people are in backlight, and the darkest colors in the painting are their hair and the folds of their clothes.

In order to express the feeling of space and air, Jiang Zhe deliberately made the two people very clear. The windows and walls a few meters away appear slightly hazy. Through the windows, you can still see the scenery outside, but these images become even more blurred.

After finishing the detailed draft yesterday and working on it for a day, the work is almost done and still needs further adjustments.

Jiang Zhe also wants to continue his exploration of realistic techniques in this painting.

Professor Qin looked at Jiang Zhe's painting several times and was very satisfied with it.

Teacher Hu announced the end of get out of class and asked everyone not to relax on Saturday and Sunday.

Students are free to arrange the rest of their time as they wish.

Jiang Zhe plans to take the work back and make further adjustments.

He slowly scraped away the remaining color on the palette.

In the process of creating this painting, he used every color to the extreme, so the number of colors on the palette is less than before.

While packing up his tools, Jiang Zhe reviewed and reflected on some of the lessons he had learned from his creation today.

Although he reduced the number of colors and required precise depiction, he still discarded unnecessary details and focused on depicting the big relationships. He never hesitated and strived for accuracy and efficiency in every stroke.

This method seems to be useful in other fields as well. Relying on ability and courage, focusing on the big picture and letting go of the small details, grasping the essence of things, observing problems from a more macro perspective, placing details under the needs of the big picture, and forming a strong relationship from the whole to the part.

Today's creations, while capturing the momentary feelings, focus on shaping the big relationships, and practice thinking about techniques when shaping characters.

If these aspects are properly coordinated, they can reflect the characteristics and aesthetic tastes of dancers and young women.

He carried his tools and works, said hello to his classmates, and walked out of the studio.

As usual, he would go home for dinner on Friday afternoons, so he called Chen Yan in advance and walked directly to the parking lot.

Jiang Zhe walked to a position not far from the entrance of the parking lot and happened to see Teacher Luan Yuhui turning the corner of the flower bed and walking towards him from the other direction.

Luan Yuhui was wearing a gray down jacket today, had a ponytail, and was carrying a big bag in her hand, as if she was going out.

Luan Yuhui also saw Jiang Zhe.

Jiang Zhe was holding things in both hands and it was inconvenient for him to raise his hands, so he stopped and prepared to wait for the other party to come closer before saying hello.

Luan Yuhui saw Jiang Zhe stop and was obviously waiting for her.

She paused, but still smiled and walked over.

"Hello, Teacher Luan."

"Jiang Zhe, are you going home?"

The two met and exchanged pleasantries.

Jiang Zhe said, "I'm going home to have dinner with my parents. You want to go out?"

"I plan to contact the students for performance costumes."

"That's great. I can drive you out."

"No, I'll take the bus."

"You're welcome. I'll drive you a little. It's very convenient and saves time. Besides, there are too many people riding in the car at this time." Seeing that Luan Yuhui was a little hesitant, Jiang Zhe continued, "I have drawn a few detailed drafts and I just wanted to ask you to take a look."

Luan Yuhui had already noticed that Jiang Zhe was holding a toolbox and an oil painting, but she hadn't looked at it carefully. "Is it too much trouble for you?"

"It's okay." Jiang Zhe felt that as long as he could strike up a conversation, there would be a chance.

The two walked to Jiang Zhe's car.

Jiang Zhe opened the trunk door, put the things in first, and then put the painting away. "Take a look, is there any problem?"

Teacher Luan looked at this unfinished oil painting and thought of the work of Jiang Zhe that he had seen this afternoon.

This painting made her admire Jiang Zhe even more. Not only did he have a good memory and was able to remember the characteristics of characters, but he was also a master in portrayal. He was able to capture various moments of changing light and shadow, depict scenes, and produce strange reactions, creating a picture with a charming atmosphere.

The backlit angle in this painting reminded Luan Yuhui of sunshine and the stage. She seemed to be at the junction of reality and illusion, bidding farewell to depression and darkness.

In this painting, I am full of vitality and hope. Unfortunately, I am only a supporting role in this painting.

“It’s a great painting, better than I thought.”

Jiang Zhe looked at Luan Yuhui's expression and said, "Teacher Luan, Professor Qin helped me choose the subject of this painting.

So, the protagonist of this picture is Yuan Xiaohan, please don’t mind.”

"Why not? I wouldn't mind."

"I have drawn many drafts, and I want to draw a few more final drafts to participate in other competitions." Jiang Zhe took out other drafts: "I also want to draw this one into the final draft, if you don't mind?"

There is only Luan Yuhui on this draft.

"Is it okay if I use you as the protagonist in the painting?"

Teacher Luan Yuhui was hesitant.

Jiang Zhe was not in a hurry to get an answer. He suggested: "Teacher, how about we talk while walking? Don't waste time here."

"it is good."

Jiang Zhe opened the car door, asked Luan Yuhui to sit in the back seat, and started the car himself.

After the vehicle was running smoothly, Luan Yuhui said: "Jiang Zhe, if I show you my photos, can you draw a picture based on them? I know your paintings are very expensive, and I can't afford that much money.

Could you help me with a simple watercolor painting?

I can be a full-time model for once, how about that? "

Luan Yuhui had many opportunities to have her portrait painted, but for some reason she never considered it.

After seeing Jiang Zhe's paintings, I suddenly had this idea.

Jiang Zhe suddenly perked up.

He tried to keep his tone steady: “Teacher, the price of my works is not controlled by me.

If you trust me, I will look at your photo first and try my best to draw it.

If the painting is not good, please don't blame me. It doesn't matter whether I get paid or not."

Luan Yuhui looked at Jiang Zhe through the mirror. "I've seen your paintings and know your level."

Jiang Zhe immediately said, "Think about it. When should I go to see your photos? Saturday and Sunday, I have time."

Luan Yuhui thought for a moment and said, "I have time on Sunday morning~"

She was about to ask Jiang Zhe to come to the school, but then she thought that her single dormitory was in the school, and inviting students to come would inevitably lead to gossip. So she said, "Let's meet outside the school."

"Okay, then see you on Sunday morning." Jiang Zhe was in a good mood.
