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

Jiang Zhe took a sketchbook and pencil, observing Liu Yifei attentively, occasionally lowering his head to write and draw.

Liu Yifei is tidying up the storage rack.

She noticed that Jiang Zhe had already started sketching. As he gradually became familiar with the requirements of being a model, he automatically slowed down his movements.

Jiang Zhe noticed that Liu Yifei's movements were a little slow and even unnatural, so he said, "Sister Liu, just do your job and rest when you are tired. You don't have to make deliberate movements, just relax."

"Okay, if you need me to adjust anything, just tell me." Liu Yifei's movements quickly returned to normal.

Jiang Zhe's ability to observe and capture images is getting stronger and stronger. He is not only very sensitive to beauty, but also has good hand-eye coordination. He can capture the various moments of task actions and changes in light and scenery, and then transform some scenes into painting language to create pictures with charming atmosphere.

After he drew 7 or 8 sketches in a row, he began to organize them and selected the one he was most satisfied with.

This sketch depicts Liu Yifei wiping a bottle.

Jiang Zhe felt that the painting could be even more beautiful, so he continued to modify it.

At this time, Liu Yifei was a little tired and took a short rest.

Jiang Zhe said to her: "Sister Liu, you can take a rest."

"I'm fine. You haven't finished drawing yet, right? What action do you need me to maintain?"

Jiang Zhe thought for a moment and said, "Hold the bottle in your left hand and the rag in your right hand. Face me and keep wiping the bottle. It will only take a while."

Liu Yifei performed the movements as required.

Jiang Zhe quickly modified the sketch.

In this draft, sunlight falls into the room from Liu Yifei's right side, and the background appears blurred. She stands by the window, facing the audience, wiping the bottle.

From the subtle changes in her facial expressions, it can be seen that she is speaking, and the joy on her face is very obvious.

"Sister Liu, you can sit down and have a rest, drink tea and eat fruit."

"Is this okay?"

"Okay." Jiang Zhe stood up and prepared the oil painting tools and canvas.

Liu Yifei already understood some of Jiang Zhe's painting habits. She went to wash her hands, changed her clothes, sat in the model's position, drank tea and took a break.

Jiang Zhe prepared the materials and began to create with oil painting.

He quickly drew the draft, using large brushstrokes to depict the gray of the woman's skirt and the warm gray background. When depicting different objects, he naturally showed subtle changes in color and hue.

He painted very quickly, and many of the seemingly random strokes were just right. When laying the base color, the modeling of the face and hands was already very good, and the expression was simple and clear.

In just over twenty minutes, he had already laid the first layer of base color. The contrast between the distance and warmth of the painting space was moderate, forming a harmonious whole.

Jiang Zhe observed for a while and then continued to depict the details, starting with Liu Yifei's hands.

As she worked, her hands became wet and gleamed like brocade in the sun.

Jiang Zhe used decisive brushstrokes to highlight the highlights, just enough to bring out the texture. Next, he depicted the character's expression.

Liu Yifei is the visual center of the picture, with the strongest color contrast.

Jiang Zhe uses some small, subtle changes in color to make the facial expressions of the characters more vivid and emotional, and express the emotions of the characters very clearly.

That is the happiness a mother feels because of her child.

After painting the face, he quickly added a few thick strokes of color to the picture. A few light blocks made the background more blurred, highlighting the feeling of light pouring into the room, and cleverly constructed the front and back relationship of the space, so that the picture would not float.

Jiang Zhe painted for a while and then stopped to observe. He commented on this work himself, saying that the color layers are very rich, the characters are vivid enough, and there is room for detail depiction, but it is still a little lacking.

The sense of happiness required by the overall picture seems not to be relaxing enough, and it also requires a relaxed and bright visual beauty.

He believes that creating a bright and transparent beauty requires harmonious color relationships and a sense of music or rhythm. This feeling should come naturally.

Jiang Zhe thought for a moment and decided to make adjustments based on the extremely subtle color relationship.

The high-grade gray in the painting becomes more subtle, elegant and transparent with step-by-step adjustments, which enhances the visual beauty of the entire painting and gives people a warm and jade-like feeling.

During the depiction process, he did not bother to consider each specific brushstroke and block of color, but instead put in his own emotions, imagining the characters in the painting, placing themselves in the warm sunshine and fresh air, and happily communicating with friends.

And I should use the paintbrush in my hand to keenly capture the extremely moving and beautiful moment in life, and freeze the beauty of this moment into eternity.

Seeing how absorbed Jiang Zhe was in his painting, Liu Yifei tried not to make any noise until Jiang Zhe signaled that the work for the day was over.

It stood up and moved around, then walked to Jiang Zhe's side to watch the work.

"It's so beautiful. Although I don't know how to paint, I am more beautiful in this painting than in real life. You painted the moment when we were chatting just now, right?"

"Yes, that's accurate."

Jiang Zhe put down his brush and prepared to take a break. He captured the moment and created. After the work was basically completed, he needed to calm himself down and come back to examine the painting.

He looked away from the work and towards Liu Yifei.

"Sister Liu, if you encounter a situation like today again, just tell me directly. There is no need to rush over here. After all, the child's matter is more important."

"Don't worry, if I can't arrange it, I'll tell you." Liu Yifei was very careful and noticed some changes in the studio. "I saw you put some things away. Are you planning to renovate the studio?"

Jiang Zhe said: "I bought a new studio. After the holiday, I will probably prepare to move there. After I settle down, if you still want to be a model, you can go there."

"Really? Congratulations. I will definitely come to help you when you move." Liu Yifei was surprised.

Jiang Zhe said, "No need. I have already arranged it."

Seeing that the agreed time was approaching, he found a few sets of new stationery and gave them to Liu Yifei.

"The child is going to school, and this is a gift from me to her. Don't mind."

"Oh, how can this be so embarrassing?" Liu Yifei wanted to refuse.

Jiang Zhe insisted that she accept it.

After Liu Yifei left, Jiang Zhe prepared his things for tomorrow's class and then had dinner.

It was not until after seven o'clock in the evening that he sat down in front of the easel again.

At this time, without the assistance of a model, the image remembered in the mind is more subjective.

When examining the work under this circumstance, one will certainly not be led by natural objects, but it is also easy for the picture to deviate from the initial feeling, so one needs to strike a good balance.

In addition, it is not conducive to adjusting colors under lighting, so he observed, thought, and simulated in his mind how to adjust the picture.

He quickly figured out how to make further adjustments.

Today's casual creation is bolder and more straightforward than previous sketches. Although there is an element of chance, if it is further developed and enriched, it may become a very suitable method for sketching.

Thinking about this kind of breakthrough, it may bring new improvement to myself. Compared with it, the previous failure is just a small matter. (End of this chapter)
