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

studio.

Jiang Zhe concentrated on drawing the jade feet with a pencil.

Liu Yifei was leaning on the sofa, wearing headphones on her walkman, and flipping through a book.

Because Jiang Zhe only drew the soles of the feet and part of the calf structure, Liu Yifei could relax and do other things.

She turned her head to look at Jiang Zhe who was painting, and recalled her previous experiences.

I am getting more and more used to the life of a model here. Compared with the hardships in the past, the life now is comfortable, easy, and profitable.

She saw Jiang Zhe put down his pencil and started to move his hands, and immediately put down his book and headphones.

"Are you tired? I'll help you cut the fruit." She slowly figured out Jiang Zhe's painting habits. She didn't need to be a model at this time, so she put on her slippers and went to prepare snacks and fruits.

The longer she worked as a model here, the more skilled she became at doing certain things, even putting into practice what she had learned in the workplace.

Jiang Zhe looked at the busy Liu Yifei. He was getting used to this kind of care, and Sister Liu was doing things more and more to his liking, and even enjoying it.

Wash your hands, take a rest and taste the fruit.

Liu Yifei sat next to Jiang Zhe and observed his work.

In the painting, several foot movements come alive. Although it is a sketch, one can clearly feel the texture of the skin and the structure of the foot.

She looked down at her feet and said, "It doesn't seem as pretty as the one you drew."

Seeing that she was becoming more relaxed during the conversation, Jiang Zhe smiled and responded, "It looks good. Your feet don't look like they've been squeezed by high heels for a long time."

"I heard from a colleague of mine that you can't wear flat shoes or high heels for a long time. It's best to alternate between them." He showed the details to Jiang Zhe.

……

While Jiang Zhe was painting, teachers in the art academy began another round of selection.

Because the selection scope includes all teachers and students in the school, the selected works of teachers and students will be selected separately.

The judges included both external judges and teachers from the school. In order to be fair, several judges were also invited from majors such as music performance.

Yes, you read that right. Sometimes, for the sake of fairness, people who are not in the same field will be invited to participate.

The judges walked past the works of the oil painting majors one by one.

A male teacher looked at Jiang Zhe's painting, turned to look at the crowd, and found Luan Yuhui.

He walked over and said to Luan Yuhui: "Teacher Luan, your image is in the student's work."

Luan Yuhui came to the Art Academy and participated in the competition for the first time. She originally planned to speak as little as possible. She had seen Jiang Zhe's paintings and knew what the teacher meant by asking her.

"Jiang Zhe draws well."

The male teacher took the opportunity to say, "Teacher Luan, when will you have a chance? I'll draw one for you, and it's guaranteed to be better than this."

Teacher Luan responded with a smile: "Sorry, I'm not used to being a model."

The male teacher was stunned for a moment, "This..." He pointed at the work, not quite understanding it.

Luan Yuhui said: "When I was in class, Jiang Zhe went to sketch with Teacher Hu. He was there to paint Yuan Xiaohan, and I showed up just by chance."

"I'll paint you a solo portrait."

"I'm sorry, I'm not a big fan of this kind of portrait, a photo will do."

"Haha, really?" The male teacher had to make small talk and change the subject.

The people around were all smart, and even if they heard it, they pretended not to hear it.

But there was one teacher who was willing to take a joke.

"Old Xie, your paintings are too abstract. When will you change to realistic paintings, and then we can talk about portraiture."

“My work is abstract, but that doesn’t mean I can’t draw portraits.”

Seeing that the two people started to tease each other, Luan Yuhui took the opportunity to walk away.

She looked at Jiang Zhe's work again.

Jiang Zhe's paintings are very eye-catching among all his works.

Judging from the selection process just now, although some people have raised objections to Jiang Zhe's work, his work has always been within the selected range after several rounds of selection.

...Jiang Zhe is checking the information in the system.

Paintings by Raphael, Anker, Caravaggio, Poussin and others appear one after another, like visiting a museum.

With the help of the system, it becomes very convenient to look up information.

Liu Yifei has left after completing her modeling task.

Jiang Zhe was not in a hurry to complete his oil painting, but first appreciated famous paintings.

He wanted the beauty of this painting to include both classical beauty and modern features. In addition, next week's professional course will start to learn figure sketching. This is an important course, and you need to absorb the nutrition you want from these famous paintings.

A painting by Caravaggio appeared in front of him. Jiang Zhe stopped the work and began to appreciate it carefully.

After obtaining the system, he once copied Caravaggio's works, and now he still has new feelings when he looks at them again.

This work, titled The Musicians, was painted in 1595. The artist was 24 years old at the time. This is an early painting of his. (He lived to be 39).

This painting depicts several young men, and the one holding a musical instrument is particularly eye-catching.

Jiang Zhe admired and thought at the same time. Caravaggio's depiction of action was very accurate and powerful.

He found another painting by Caravaggio, The Flagellation of Christ, for comparison. The movements of the young man plucking the instrument and the strong man tying up Jesus, how they exerted force, were very vivid.

Allow the audience to appreciate these moments quietly.

Jiang Zhe compared these classic images with his own paintings, thinking about how to more accurately depict the moment when the dancers are about to leap.

After quickly jotting down a few key points, he analyzed the painting from the perspective of beautiful change.

Caravaggio's style in his early and middle years was very aesthetic. During the Renaissance, few painters made the paintings as beautiful as he did.

Because he had to draw a sketch next week, he found some sketches by several famous Renaissance artists and compared them with them.

The people depicted by Leonardo da Vinci are somewhat mysterious, and the characters depicted by Michelangelo tend to be masculine and powerful. However, when Caravaggio depicted the characters in the picture, especially the beautiful pictures, he seemed to paint out his admiration and his true thoughts.

Jiang Zhe's eyes shifted to the work of musicians again. The boy in the left corner of the picture should be Cupid, the god of love, who Caravaggio had painted many times in other paintings.

The boy on the right is from behind. Caravaggio went against the tradition of the Renaissance and painted the boy's childish back. Even though there are cracks on the surface, it does not affect the beauty of the character. It is conceivable how shocking the effect was when the painting was just completed.

The protagonist of this painting is a boy with a positive face. The painter made him particularly charming. The boy's face is frozen at the moment he starts to sing.

This vividness and vitality comes from the expression of details. You can vaguely see the tip of the boy's tongue when he opens his mouth.

The painter Caravaggio also painted himself into his work, squeezed together with several teenagers.

This technique is commonly used by painters.

Jiang Zhe remembered that there seemed to be another painting by Caravaggio, which also depicted a young man and musical instruments.

However, there is no information about this painting in the system.

He found a picture in a picture album for comparison. The picture album said that this painting was created for one of the most important patrons of the artist when he first arrived in Rome.

Jiang Zhe saw a critic's words in the album and wrote down a few important sentences.

Caravaggio's important contribution was that he ended the long Renaissance painting model in the 15th century; Caravaggio's paintings had a huge impact on the later Baroque art.

Caravaggio still painted biblical stories, but the characters he painted were more like people living in reality.

Jiang Zhe closed the album and reviewed what he had gained today.

He had already vaguely thought about how to modify his painting.

The seeds of realism appeared under Caravaggio's pen, and he painted the Virgin Mary, Jesus, apostles and angels with a sense of reality on earth.

At that time, paintings that resembled ordinary people were not easily accepted. However, the images in his paintings were vivid and credible, while still bathed in light. While breaking the norm, he also made the audience accept him. This was his ability.

Jiang Zhe looked at his unfinished work.

In order to depict the image of the dancer with Luan Yuhui as the model, I considered various norms, such as resemblance in appearance, resemblance in spirit, space, light and shadow... But I was too cautious when breaking through the existing norms.

Looking at Caravaggio's paintings gave him inspiration.

Jiang Zhe repeatedly considered the specific changes and picked up the paintbrush...
