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

The art gallery of the Art Academy is bustling with people coming and going.

Jiang Zhe carried the works and walked into the exhibition hall on the first floor of the art museum with his classmates.

Teacher Hu, who was walking in front, found the teacher in charge of the organization, asked for detailed requirements, and then turned around to greet Jiang Zhe and others.

"Put your work in the empty space on the right, against the wall." She pointed to an empty space on the right side of the wall. "Put it there." The students put their work in place as the teacher asked.

Because the selection is conducted within the school, the works of oil painting majors do not need to be framed or hung.

Teacher Hu counted the number and confirmed that the selected works had been displayed. He left two class leaders behind and let the others move freely.

The works of the oil painting major attracted many students from other majors.

Jiang Zhe and his friends did not leave either, but went to see the works selected from other majors.

Many students are seizing the time to observe and learn.

The exhibition hall already has sculptures, Chinese paintings, prints, watercolors, mixed media, and works from the School of Design.

Although the preliminary selection does not need to be arranged like a formal exhibition, the many different forms of works, when put together, still have a dazzling effect.

Jiang Zhe would occasionally meet classmates he knew, say hello and give them a compliment.

With his current skills and aesthetic vision, there are not many works that he can truly praise. Among the selected student works, there are some very creative works. Some of the ideas in them can often inspire Jiang Zhe.

When he encounters such works, he will stop and look at them for a while.

After walking around for a while, we came to the exhibition area of ​​traditional Chinese painting, which includes calligraphy and painting, and also seal carving.

Because most of the materials are completed on paper or silk, these works have to be framed in advance.

Jiang Zhe's eyes swept across the crowd and saw Lan Xin.

Lan Xin saw Jiang Zhe and his companions from afar, and came towards them while waving.

"Jiang Zhe, Fu Min, you are here."

"Let us appreciate your work," Jiang Zhe replied.

"I heard that your works were all selected. Congratulations." Lan Xin smiled happily.

Jiang Zhe said: "Tongxi, where is your work?"

"Come, help me find out the problems." Several people followed Lan Xin and came closer to the work.

Jiang Zhe followed the instructions and saw Lan Xin's paintings.

The work is framed in the form of a lens, and judging by the style of the frame, it should have been framed in Wang Zhen’s gallery.

The painting is a three-foot-long figure painting. On the clear rice paper, it depicts an old woman knitting a sweater. She sits on a large stool, with a tabby cat beside her. Under the old woman's feet is a floor paved with blue bricks. There are a few plants behind her.

The figures are painted with meticulous brushwork and heavy colors, while the plants are painted with freehand ink painting.

The detailed and colorful figures, paired with ink of varying shades, have both an elegant aura and visual impact.

Jiang Zhe noticed that behind Lan Xin's signature, there were one or two seals, the one he had carved.

He turned around and looked at Lan Xin.

Lan Xin also looked at Jiang Zhe. "How is it? Any problem?"

Jiang Zhe said: "No problem, your calligraphy and use of colors have improved."

Lan Xin smiled and said, "I ask you to help me find the problem."

Jiang Zhe said, "Well, if you must find a problem, it would be better if you use a more sophisticated pen."

This is a term he learned from the comments of his teachers.

After hearing this, Fu Min and the others all laughed.

Lan Xin smiled and said, "Your comments are really similar to those of several teachers."

After chatting for a while, Lan Xin wanted to go see the works of Jiang Zhe and his friends. After a round, they walked back.

At this time, there were already many people surrounding the oil painting exhibition area.

Lan Xin was standing outside and couldn't see clearly. She had no choice but to wait until there were fewer people around before getting closer to watch.
She squeezed out of the crowd and said to Jiang Zhe, "Your painting is really good, especially the feeling of backlighting. Is classmate Yuan Xiaohan now your full-time model? I heard several people commenting on it."

Jiang Zhe said: "It's just a coincidence, I just finished this painting."

While he was speaking, he was also thinking of the painting he had created with Lan Xin as the model.

After completing the work, Jiang Zhe was still not satisfied with it and wanted to revise it or draw it again, so he did not submit it for the selection.

While they were chatting, the teacher in charge of organization began to clear the venue again and asked the students who had submitted their works to leave.

Jiang Zhe and his companions left the art museum.

He got in the car and prepared to go home. Before starting the car, he turned on the system.

The school selection had increased his honor points. He guessed that as long as everything went smoothly during this selection process, he might be able to continue to increase his honor points.

On Sunday morning, Liu Yifei arrived at Jiang Zhe's studio a little earlier than the agreed time.

She looked around the studio and said to Jiang Zhe, "Let me help you clean up first."

Jiang Zhe stopped Liu Yifei. "Sister Liu, no need to clean. I'm asking you to be a model today, and I need you to do some difficult moves."

Liu Yifei's heart beat faster.

Jiang Zhe pointed to the oil painting on the easel and the sketch next to it.

Liu Yifei saw that in the painting, a dancer was performing. At the moment the picture was frozen, the dancer was about to jump.

The young dancer, wearing a pink dance costume, stands against a velvet curtain.

Against the backdrop of the heavy tones of the stage, the characters appear even lighter. However, this painting is not finished yet.

"The painting is really good, and the actors are so pretty." While praising, Liu Yifei wondered what Jiang Zhe was going to do herself?
Jiang Zhe said: "This actress was wearing dance shoes when she was modeling. I wanted to draw her barefoot. The actress told me that because of long-term dancing, her feet are not very good-looking.

I remember that you have very good foot shape. I would like to invite you to come here today and pose in a similar position. Do you mind if I use your foot shape to depict this work? "

Liu Yifei was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "I don't mind."

She had noticed before that when Jiang Zhe asked her to be a model, he looked at her feet carefully several times.

"Jiang Zhe, I'm going to go wash up first."

Jiang Zhe said, “It’s okay.”

"No." Liu Yifei insisted on washing first.

Soon, she came out of the bathroom wearing slippers.

Jiang Zhe noticed that she not only washed it, but also slightly modified it.

Liu Yifei performed a similar dance pose as Jiang Zhe requested.

Because she had no dance experience, she had to use tables and chairs for assistance.

Jiang Zhe sat on the ground and observed carefully from every angle.

Liu Yifei felt a little shy and also tired.

This state cannot last too long.

Jiang Zhe drew several sketches in succession, recording her image and characteristics, and then let her rest.

While the model was resting, he quickly perfected the details.

After Liu Yifei had rested enough, Jiang Zhe asked her to lean on the left side of the sofa, put her feet on the cushion on the right side of the sofa, and lie on her side to serve as a model for another work.
