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

Jiang Zhe put down his brush, stood up, and observed his painting. Because when creating a full-size sketch, you must be at a certain distance to see the overall effect.

After listening to Teacher Lin’s class, he spent an hour drawing a draft on a full-size drawing paper.

Although I haven't started drawing the details yet, the outline and structural lines alone are enough to make people feel the strength of the shape.

The phone started vibrating.

Jiang Zhe picked up his phone and saw a text message from Wang Zhen telling her that he had left and was heading to the Art Academy.

It was almost time for the get out of class to end, so Teacher Lin asked the models to take a break and the students could arrange their time freely.

Jiang Zhe signaled to Mou Xing.

Seeing Jiang Zhe pointing outside the door, Mou Xing understood, picked up his things, and followed Jiang Zhe out.

Jiang Zhe also called Fu Min and others to come over.

After an afternoon, Fu Min had adjusted her mindset.

When they arrived at the art gallery, they saw some students who had been selected to submit their works for framing, while others who were not selected were moving their works away.

After waiting for a while, they saw Wang Zhen's car coming in and stopping in front of the art museum.

Wang Zhen and the workers got out of the car.

Jiang Zhe smiled and said, "Manager Wang, thank you for making another trip."

Wang Zhenxian congratulated Jiang Zhe and Mou Xing.

Seeing Fu Min next to her, she consoled him, "There will be another chance next time. Let's frame your work together. There are several buyers who want to buy paintings recently. Your work can be sold for a good price."

With just a few words, she made Fu Min happy again.

The workers helped Jiang Zhe and his two companions load their works into the car.

Wang Zhen looked at the students coming in and out and said, "I heard that Lan Xin's work was also selected."

Mou Xing said: "I heard that there are more people selected from their Chinese painting department than from our oil painting department."

"Where will it be sent during the selection process? Is there any news?" Wang Zhen asked.

Jiang Zhe replied: "The teacher hasn't notified me yet."

Wang Zhen was about to leave when Jiang Zhe saw Teacher Hu and another teacher coming over and asked Wang Zhen to wait.

Teacher Hu knew Wang Zhen and greeted her first, then asked Jiang Zhe and Jiang Zhe if their works had been framed.

Wang Zhen said: "It will not waste any time. I will arrange it directly wherever the selection is held and send the works over."

Teacher Hu thought for a moment and said, "The school is currently discussing with several institutions. The final selection location may be here. The art museum is a very suitable venue, and we don't charge them rent. But it hasn't been decided yet."

Wang Zhen, Jiang Zhe and others felt great when they heard the news.

"It would be much more convenient for us if we arrange it this way."

Wang Zhen said goodbye and left.

Jiang Zhe also drove back to his studio.

The small portrait of Luan Yuhui has been completed.

He took the paintings and drove to Wang Zhen's gallery.

Wang Zhen was waiting for him. In the afternoon, when the two talked on the phone, Jiang Zhe had already told him about this matter.

"Come, let me see your new work." Wang Zhen looked a little strange after seeing the painting.

The painting was good, but not quite in the style of Jiang Zhe. Moreover, she remembered that Jiang Zhe rarely painted full-length portraits on canvases of this size.

The painting is still unsigned.

Jiang Zhe explained to Wang Zhen that this was a work he was going to give to the model as a thank you.

Wang Zhen reminded Jiang Zhe: "Giving paintings as gifts is a big taboo. You absolutely cannot give them as gifts."

Jiang Zhe said, "Don't worry, I have explained the situation to her. Moreover, this painting is not signed, and the creation technique is also different. This painting is completely made using the classical shading technique."

Wang Zhen put the painting on the shelf and commented as he looked at it: "Now that you put it that way, looking at this painting again, it is indeed a little different."

She pointed to the figure in the painting and said: "This painting is not very large, and the whole body of the figure needs to be painted, so other objects are scaled down. However, the details of the clothes and the patterned carpet are still so realistic.

I have seen some realistic paintings that use slides to assist in modeling. However, those paintings are often very rigid, while your paintings are not only realistic, but also have a sense of freedom. "

Jiang Zhe said: “This is a gift for someone, so I can’t use it to my heart’s content, otherwise it would be better.

The sooner this painting is framed, the better."

"Don't worry, this painting is not big. The factory has ready-made materials. I'll tell you when it's done."...

Friday, the second day of sketching class.

Jiang Zhe began to make preliminary sketches of the work. Because he had plenty of time, he tried to make every stroke count. In rendering, he also kept the rhythm of arranging lines with the pen and tried not to use erasers as much as possible.

The techniques he used included those of Ingres and Dürer, while also referring to Michelangelo's modeling of structure.

While using classics, we also pay attention to ensuring that the lines, light and shade meet the modeling requirements of the characters being depicted.

Because the painting process went very smoothly, he was in a good mood throughout the day.

As school was about to end, Jiang Zhe walked around the classroom and observed the works of other students.

A quarter of the course has just passed. Some students' works have already had very heavy light and dark tones.

He always felt that if one put too much effort into long-term practice at the beginning, there would be no room for further progress later.

With his current aesthetic vision, he could see the problems of some paintings at a glance. Only a few paintings were worth observing and learning.

When school was over, he said goodbye to his familiar classmates, left the studio with his tools, and went home for dinner.

Some students who were not in a hurry to leave were also looking at Jiang Zhe's paintings.
"Jiang Zhe spent a day, but it seems he didn't draw much."

"Isn't that too cautious?"

"Maybe he's afraid of ruining the painting." Several classmates whispered when they saw that Jiang Zhe's work only used lines and very light tones to divide several blocks and important structures.

Fu Min was also looking at Jiang Zhe's paintings. When she heard the discussion, she said nothing and turned away.

The fact that her work was not selected gave her a bit of a boost, so she was trying hard to win it back.

Today, she has come to see Jiang Zhe's paintings several times.

In Fu Min's opinion, Jiang Zhe's painting is a beautiful work no matter when you stop painting it, and it is definitely worth observing and studying.

Having known Jiang Zhe for nearly two years, these students have not yet found anything worth learning from Jiang Zhe. She feels that the fact that several students have raised such questions can only mean that the gap between them is getting bigger and bigger.

……

On Saturday, Chen Yan came to Jiang Zhe's studio.

Jiang Zhe took half a day to accompany Chen Yan to relax.

He still had half a day to continue perfecting his work with Luan Yuhui as the model.

In the evening, he received a call from Wang Zhen and immediately drove to retrieve the work.

Luan Yuhui's portrait, once framed, doubles its effect.

……

Sunday morning.

Luan Yuhui came to the cafe again.

Yesterday, Jiang Zhe contacted me and said that the work had been completed.

Luan Yuhui still asked him to meet here.

Not long after I sat down, I saw Jiang Zhe walk into the cafe.

He was holding a painting in his hand, but because of the outer packaging, the specific contents could not be seen.

"Teacher Luan." Jiang Zhe greeted with a smile.

"Look and see what you like to drink." Luan Yuhui called the waiter.

After Jiang Zhe chose his drink, she ordered a cup of coffee.

After the waiter left, Jiang Zhe opened the package and handed the painting to Luan Yuhui.

"Teacher Luan, please take a look at the painting. Are you satisfied? If not, I can make some changes."

Teacher Luan took the oil painting and his eyes lit up.

The first impression of this painting, whether it is the content or the frame, is exquisiteness.

Then, she was attracted by what was depicted in the painting.

The self in the painting is preparing to leap, with precise movements and graceful posture.

She observed herself in the painting ten years ago, and some forgotten details were brought back to her mind.
