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

studio.

Teacher Luan stood in front of the window, playing a piece of music on the violin. The melodious music floated in the spacious and grand space, which was particularly beautiful.

Jiang Zhe sat not far away, watching Teacher Luan who was playing.

Originally he wanted to observe Teacher Luan's movements, but the beautiful music made him forget to record and observe, and he just focused on enjoying the music.

The song ends.

Jiang Zhe immediately applauded.

"Teacher Luan, what's the name of the piece you played? It's so beautiful!"

"Canon, Pachelbel's Canon." Teacher Luan put down the proposal and stretched his arms. "This piece is smooth and regular, suitable for practice."

"You played so well that I forgot to sketch," said Jiang Zhe.

"I just realized that you are not only good at drawing, but also good at talking. You must have fooled many girls." Teacher Luan teased while relaxing.

Jiang Zhe said hurriedly: "I'm not very good at coaxing girls. I was just enjoying it just now. How about you play it again?"

Teacher Luan said, "Let's change the song."

"Okay." Jiang Zhe immediately got ready.

Teacher Luan and Jiang Zhe looked at each other and signaled that they were about to begin.

This time, she played a prairie-style piece of music.

Jiang Zhe calmed down to observe and recorded it in time with lines.

He didn't know how good Luan Yuhui was at playing the violin, but her movements and temperament were really beautiful.

Jiang Zhe memorized every moment he saw in his mind and drew it on paper.

After finishing a few sketches, Luan Yuhui felt a little tired and began to rest.

Jiang Zhe used the system to evaluate his own sketches. The works he thought were good were either fine or mediocre in the system's evaluation and did not meet the standards of works to be handed down from generation to generation.

Naturally, he didn't want to give up. After Teacher Luan had rested enough, he said, "Teacher Luan, I want to try to draw the hide-and-seek game I saw today. Can you play one of the roles in the garden?"

Teacher Luan also became interested: "Okay, but do you want to draw yourself in it?"

"No, I can draw a little girl. You and the little girl play hide and seek."

Teacher Luan was wearing a long skirt, which made it inconvenient for her to play games.

Jiang Zhe found a few sets of clothes. "Teacher Luan, these are new clothes, please don't be disgusted."

Luan Yuhui didn't want to change at first, but when she saw that the clothes were indeed new and very trendy, she agreed.

After changing their clothes, they walked into the courtyard.

"Without anyone's cooperation and without an atmosphere, I can't make natural movements." Teacher Luan tried several times and felt it was too fake.

"Teacher Luan, find a place to hide, and then look at me. Just like you hid and waited for me today." Jiang Zhe suggested.

With this suggestion, Luan Yuhui quickly found the feeling at that time.

Jiang Zhe turned around, counted a few times, and looked back again, but he could no longer see Teacher Luan.

However, there are only a few places in the courtyard where people can hide. After careful observation, you can find the hiding people.

Teacher Luan also noticed it, poked his head out, and asked with a smile: "How is it?"

Jiang Zhe nodded: "Very good."

Next, Jiang Zhe recorded Teacher Luan’s figure playing hide-and-seek on the screen one by one.

Luan Yuhui in the painting is like an elf in the garden.

……

Luan Yuhui drank juice and admired Jiang Zhe's sketches today.

The sketches are not very detailed, but each one has a different angle of approach, some are from the back, some are from the front.

In most of the pictures, I am hiding from the sight of a little girl. The blindfolded little girl becomes a secondary character. The self who is hiding, or who has already hidden, is the protagonist of the painting.

Jiang Zhe uses simple lines to make the characters vivid and lifelike, especially the flexible movements and cheerful expressions.

The neat and elegant garden, the clever women and the joyful games together form an interesting picture.

Due to the many details in the picture, it is full of contemporary flavor, with a joyful and relaxing atmosphere, and it is completely different from the artistic style of the Rococo period.

Luan Yuhui pointed to one of the works and said, "I like this one the best."

The woman in the painting shows her face from behind a chair. Her appearance and expression are very well drawn, reminding her of herself in her twenties.

Jiang Zhe said, "Wait until I finish the final draft, and then you can come and see it, maybe it will be better."

"How can you draw some movements so realistically when you obviously didn't see them?"

Jiang Zhe said: "Part of it is imagination, and part of it is observation." His eyes moved from Teacher Luan's face to his lower body.

Teacher Luan rolled her eyes at him, a little shy, but really happy in her heart.

Happy times always pass quickly. When Teacher Luan was about to leave, Jiang Zhe handed over the reward.

"What is this for?"

Jiang Zhe said: "Thank you for your hard work for so long, this is prepared according to the market price."

At that time, the salary of university teachers was not high. Jiang Zhe paid a lot.

"This is almost my monthly salary?" Teacher Luan didn't want to accept it.

Jiang Zhe said: "This is the result of your labor.

I know you don’t like to teach outside, otherwise you should earn much more than you do now.”

There are many types of teachers in schools.

Some people are willing to work outside and earn more, while others just stick to their fixed salary and live their own small life.

Teacher Luan felt a little embarrassed.

Jiang Zhe said, "If you don't accept it, I will be embarrassed to bother you in the future. Otherwise, I will give you something else, such as high-end cosmetics or a car. What do you think?"

In 03, there were not so many vehicles and not many people drove in the school.

Teacher Luan had no choice but to accept the reward.

Jiang Zhe felt that it was a different experience to be with Teacher Luan. He wanted to get closer but was hesitant and was not willing to take this step.

He also brought this mood into his paintings.

In the next few days, he devoted all his energy to creation.

In order to arrange his time reasonably, he created two paintings at the same time, using Liu Yifei and Teacher Luan as models respectively.

Unfortunately, when these two paintings were nearing completion, they were only regarded as masterpieces, and neither of them has been handed down from generation to generation.

Jiang Zhe felt that he had done everything he could at this stage, and decided to take advantage of the opportunity to observe the master's creation.

On the system page, he chose to observe the works of Tintoretto.

He made this choice after recently reading the original work and being deeply impressed by it, and has been pondering its creative concept.

The images you watch are simulated by the system based on the original work. They may be different from the real creation, but they still have great learning value.

While observing, Jiang Zhe gained a new understanding of the master's creations.

For example, Tintoretto used bold foreshortening in his work The Miracle of St. Mark. Modern art critics praise Tintoretto as a "director of light." The complex lighting effects of the work give each character in the picture a vivid portrayal, with people's faces showing various complex expressions such as surprise, fear, doubt and sympathy.

This painting has a sense of dynamism and drama that was lacking in previous painters, and later Baroque painters regarded it as an enlightenment.

The system provides viewing videos showing the creation process of multiple works. Jiang Zhe can see the connection between the works and even discover the transformation of the masters' creations.

When he observed Tintoretto's work "Venus, Vulcan and Mars" completed in 1551, he understood how Tintoretto broadened his painting subjects after becoming famous. At that time, art entered the lives of the nobility and even the common people, and the master also followed this trend.

The themes of his works are cloaked in religion and mythology, but they have begun to have the flavor of human life.

In addition, the dramatic conflict of this masterpiece once again amazed Jiang Zhe.

In Greek mythology, Venus, the goddess of love and beauty, was assigned by Zeus to Vulcan, the god of craftsmen in charge of forging, and also the god of fire and weapons.

Venus was at home, and the handsome and elegant god of war, Mars, came in. The two looked at each other, and there was a flash of love, performing an indescribable scene.

Vulcan got the tip-off and rushed home in a rage, ready to catch someone in bed. However, he was not only ugly, but also had a low IQ. Even his dog discovered the adulterer, but Vulcan lifted up the veil that Venus used to cover her body. I don't know what he was thinking.

The God of War had lost all his majesty and curled up under the bed in a panic, waiting for an opportunity to escape.

In the painting, the little boy with wings closed his eyes tactfully.

The composition, brushstrokes, light and colors of the painting are all exquisite. What Jiang Zhe finds most magical is that this painting is simply a freeze frame of a big drama on stage. Each character is an interesting story that often happened among Venetian nobles in the era when the master lived.

Venus's despair, Vulcan's fury, Ares' panic, Cupid's maturity beyond his years...all the psychological activities of each person, the tense atmosphere on the scene, the suspense of what will happen in the next second, are all vivid and lifelike, making the viewers laugh.

Jiang Zhe never watched the entire video in one sitting. Whenever he was touched, he would stop to summarize, savor, reflect, and then continue watching.

While observing and learning, the various techniques did not inspire him much. The master's creative ideas and the ability to integrate the strengths of famous artists are issues that Jiang Zhe has been thinking about.

Jiang Zhe reflected that the master’s distinctive personality was one of the elements of his success, but it was impossible for him to copy him. Even if he tried to copy him, it would be meaningless because that would not be himself.

Your own creation should be based on your own personality.

As for the method of integrating the strengths of famous artists, he remembered the master's famous saying: Michelangelo's sketches, plus Titian's colors.

Reflecting on myself, I have focused a lot on classical painting, and at the same time I have also learned about Impressionism and contemporary color knowledge.

According to current understanding, no matter what modeling means are used, realistic or abstract, they are just means, and they themselves do not represent backwardness or advancement.

The understanding of color will be influenced by the aesthetic of the times.

Based on what he learned from observation and recent thinking, he set himself a short-term creative direction - the modeling of classical paintings plus contemporary color knowledge.

With new ideas and observations, he decided to repaint several female portraits and modify several realistic works.
