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

Teacher Yan watched Jiang Zhe's creation with great interest.

In the picture, some originally realistic images are being changed little by little.

The jumping brushstrokes and translucent paint gradually create the effect of flowing and blurred water droplets.

Some of the brushstrokes seem random, but as the picture gradually changes, the feeling of observing objects through glass and water becomes more and more obvious.

He could tell that Jiang Zhe was creating a special perspective, but this way of painting was indeed very novel.

Teacher Yan recalled that he had seen some creative processes of using cameras to capture special effects and then painting them into works. However, Jiang Zhe's creations are different from passively copying and moving what the eyes see.

According to the laws of photography, or the natural result of visual observation, depicting the effect of observing through glass usually makes most of the pictures monotonous and dull. However, the shadow colors of Jiang Zhe's works are very rich and transparent. He not only deepens the brightness, but also makes full use of the contrast between the bright gray of the characters, as well as the colors of the reflected sky and surrounding environment, boldly changing the color of the environment.

Teacher Yan believes that this approach is to purify the hue based on color cognition, making the picture vivid and bright, and the overall hazy picture is more real than the natural reality.

Jiang Zhe didn't know how Mr. Yan felt. He was practicing his own thinking in his creation. There are two things that are the essence of visual art, one is shape and the other is color. The artistic development of different eras and the scientific discoveries of the time often entangle each other.

If you want to depict a scene in the rain with a brush, you must necessarily express the distance between the viewer and the object - the rain.

Everyone feels familiar and intimate with such a scene. The rain blurs the scenery and characters, and the constant changes between movement and stillness add a touch of romance.

With the help of high-definition images from the system and contemporary photography, Jiang Zhe observed some subtle changes in rain and found some common points that can highlight and blur the line of sight. He used the shapes and colors of rain to communicate with each other, and produced new shapes and colors, creating a relationship between reality and illusion.

This kind of blurred yet clear picture makes rational painting very interesting, and at the same time forms the relationship between abstraction and concreteness.

He wanted the picture to contain a real illusion, to enhance the readability of the work and to arouse rich associations in the viewer.

Jiang Zhe himself concluded that this kind of expression is to abstract the reality of nature. Although the picture of the work is very blurry, the meaning expressed is very clear and more powerful, and it also produces a feeling that is more real than the actual reality.

This feeling comes from vision and is supplemented by the brain.

Teacher Yan waited until Jiang Zhe started to rest and took the initiative to find him to learn about his creative ideas.

After hearing Jiang Zhe's description, he couldn't help but sigh that painting techniques are important, but thinking is more important.

In addition to technical means, artists also need a broad vision and inner world.

In the following time, after looking at the works of some students in the class, he began to ask the students: "An excellent painter should be someone who is full of emotions in his heart and has the ability to use technology to elevate this emotion to a spiritual level through artistic life.

I suggest that you broaden your horizons and create freely because many forms of painting are no longer novel. The development and breakthrough I suggest should be enriched with connotation and spiritual orientation, rather than just playing with special techniques.

……

Jiang Zhe verified his ideas in practice, gained recognition from teacher Yan in the communication, and also listened to some suggestions. He spent a very pleasant day of creation, forgetting many worries and trivial matters.

But this letting go is only temporary.

The class is over and the students pack up their tools and prepare to eat.

Jiang Zhe carried his toolbox and walked to the canteen with Chen Yan. The problem that had been on his mind came to his mind again. Why is there no news about the selection in the provincial capital? Normally, it should have ended yesterday and should have been announced today.

During the meal, Chen Yan saw Jiang Zhe take out his phone twice to check text messages, so she asked, "No news from the provincial capital yet?"

Jiang Zhe put his phone away: "No more. No news.

If there were any results, Manager Wang should have called earlier."

Chen Yan comforted Jiang Zhe: "Don't worry, you will be fine."

Jiang Zhe smiled and said, "It's ok for us to talk about this quietly between the two of us, but don't tell anyone else."

He looked up and looked around. Among the teachers and students eating in the small cafeteria, there were several who had also participated in the selection. Everyone's smile disappeared from their faces.

After dinner, the two took a walk on the campus, both avoiding the topic of selection and only talking about what happened today.

When Jiang Zhe was about to send Chen Yan back to the dormitory, he ran into Lan Xin, who was also about to return to the dormitory with several classmates.

Chen Yan took the initiative to greet Lan Xin.

After Lan Xin responded, she looked at Jiang Zhe hesitantly.

Jiang Zhe asked: "Lan Xin, is there something wrong?"

"I want to ask, is there any news from Manager Wang?"

Jiang Zhe sighed silently.

Chen Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Zhe said: "No news yet. I guess she should be eating now. Wait a minute, I'll call her and ask."

Lan Xin explained: "I'm just asking. Actually, I know it's hard for my work to be approved. It's just that I haven't received any news. I've been feeling very worried."

Jiang Zhe understood that since it was the first time to participate in a selection of this level, no matter how fierce the competition was, everyone still had a glimmer of hope.

"Probably, there will be news soon," he responded.

"I understand." Lan Xin waved to Jiang Zhe and the others, and left with a few classmates.

Jiang Zhe watched Chen Yan enter the dormitory building, then turned and went to the parking lot, preparing to drive back to his studio.

He had just arrived beside the vehicle and stopped when he saw Teacher Hu running towards the parking lot.

Wait for Teacher Hu to come closer and then say hello.

Teacher Hu kept walking and said to Jiang Zhe: "Jiang Zhe, don't worry about what's happening in the provincial capital. I'll let you know when I have news. I have something else to do..."

She said as she ran towards a car.

The door of the car opened and Teacher Hu got in.

Jiang Zhe watched the vehicle start and drive away.

I thought, I was just saying hello, did I ask about that matter? Was Teacher Hu traumatized by the question?
Back in the studio, he listened to music and practiced calligraphy to calm his mind.

The cell phone rang, Jiang Zhe took a look and saw it was Wang Zhen's number.

As I pressed the answer button, I looked at the clock. It was 9:16pm.

"Jiang Zhe, the selection results have not been announced yet. I'm asking someone." Wang Zhen was unable to bring accurate information, but only told Jiang Zhe that due to fierce competition, some works had similar numbers of votes, resulting in the selection process being extended.

"I heard that the organizing committee requires that the results must be announced tomorrow."

Jiang Zhe advised Wang Zhen not to be anxious and to wait patiently for the results, and at the same time, he was also saying this to himself.

……

On Friday morning, Jiang Zhe continued to create in the studio.

When I paint, I can forget a lot of my worries.

During the pause, he picked up his phone and took a look. He found two missed calls, both from Wang Zhen.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Zhen sent a text message.

Jiang Zhe's heartbeat began to speed up.
