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

Exhibition hall.

Jiang Zhe held the trophy in his hand and took photos with several teachers in front of his work. The vice president in charge of publicity also took photos of Jiang Zhe at different locations in the exhibition hall as publicity materials.

When this round of photo taking was over, many participating painters and some visitors came over to take photos with Jiang Zhe.

It was the first time that Jiang Zhe enjoyed the enthusiasm of so many people, so he cooperated in taking photos.

He stood still, and the people around him changed one after another.

Whenever I have some free time, many painters I didn’t know before come over and make friends with me.

During this period, someone called to express congratulations.

Jiang Zhe felt the impact of winning an award in such a high-profile exhibition. Being noticed and recognized by others brings happiness, but also troubles and even exhaustion.

Fortunately, with the help of Wang Zhen, Meng Xi, Professor Qin and others, he did not become rude during the social interaction.

Wang Zhen also took some time to take Jiang Zhe to visit several judges.

After the award ceremony, you can go and make friends without worrying about being criticized.

Jiang Zhe was busy until noon and finally had some free time.

After a quick lunch, everyone will attend separate seminars for each group in the afternoon.

Professor Qin and Jiang Zhe are going to attend a seminar on oil painting, so take a quick lunch break.

Jiang Zhe sat directly in the car arranged by Wang Zhen and closed his eyes to rest.

He closed his eyes, turned on the system, and saw a new prompt:

You won the Young Artist Award in this Capital Biennale, which attracted attention and increased your fame. The system will issue you a special reward.

Financial reward: 60 yuan.

One chance to draw a special attribute.

One opportunity to improve skills.

Jiang Zhe first clicked on the financial reward.

There is only one way to withdraw the financial reward this time - selling paintings, and it cannot be accumulated.

Jiang Zhe chose to extract.

The system prompted him to wait for the results.

He clicked on the special attribute lottery opportunity again.

The system explained that this opportunity could draw some rare special attributes, similar to the portrait painting specialty attribute he currently possessed.

With the good luck of winning today, Jiang Zhe no longer hesitated and chose to draw directly.

The familiar roulette game appears on the lottery page.

Click start, and the pointer of the turntable begins to spin rapidly, passing through one attribute gift box after another.

Finally it stopped on a gift box.

Because all gift boxes have special attributes, it is impossible to determine their category.

The page shows: You gain a special attribute - sketching skill expertise.

Jiang Zhe didn't know why there was such a specialized skill, and curiosity drove him to click to receive it immediately.

A large piece of information came into my mind.

He quickly understood the purpose of this skill.

Sketching was originally a means of collecting materials, and many painters have created many excellent works in the process of sketching.

This sketching expertise can enhance his sensitivity to forms, which will increase the probability of producing excellent works during the sketching stage, and may even develop his own unique sketching skills.

Jiang Zhe has met many painters. Some of them are excellent and vivid in their sketches, while some painters can only create excellent works when they return to the studio.

This skill is equivalent to improving keen observation in sketching, and is not limited to subject matter.

Jiang Zhe digested the attributes and felt that although this skill did not sound that impressive, it was definitely very practical for short-term creation or when demonstrating skills.

Next, he clicked on the skill improvement opportunity.

The system will randomly upgrade one of his existing skills. He really wants to upgrade his oil painting or a certain painting skill. But the system's lottery does not go according to his idea.

All the skills were arranged on the page. A beam of light passed through these skills and finally stopped on a skill square.

Jiang Zhe saw that the word "Oil Painting Restoration" was written on the skill block.

The system prompts that you have used your reward to upgrade your oil painting restoration skill to an advanced level.

Jiang Zhe took in the information while thinking about it.

Among his many skills, oil painting restoration skill is the one that is used the least.

After all, although there are many oil paintings that need to be restored, there are also quite a few people engaged in this work.

This is a craft that requires a lot of experience.

For most important works, people usually choose the best people in the industry to restore them. If there is really no chance, they will settle for the second best.

Jiang Zhe felt that this skill might not be useful for the time being, but it was good to have an improvement.

While mastering these restoration skills, it is also helpful to understand the use and matching of materials by ancient painters, which can be said to be an auxiliary improvement.

"Jiang Zhe, it's time to go." Meng Xi and Wang Zhen came to the car to remind Jiang Zhe.

Professor Qin also came into the car.

He rubbed his temple and said, "Oh, I'm really getting old. If I don't take a nap at noon, I will feel tired.

After the lottery, Jiang Zhe also rested for a while and now he has regained his energy.

In the afternoon, Jiang Zhe and Professor Qin attended a lecture and seminar on oil painting.

The old man, one of the general planners, made a speech first, listing the current situation of contemporary oil painting.

He especially suggested that whether one is working in an academic institution or is a professional painter, one should talk about his or her views on oil painting.

The first round of speakers were professors and vice presidents of oil painting departments in colleges and universities, as well as some well-known oil painters.

In the second round, Jiang Zhe also needs to speak.

Because he had been notified that he needed to speak here, there was no problem in preparing the script in advance and reading it carefully.

The seminar is over.

The chief planner also gave Jiang Zhe some encouragement.

Wang took the opportunity to take a photo.

In the evening, on the way back, Professor Qin first made an appointment with several colleagues and friends to have dinner together. When they arrived at the dinner place, he was Jiang Zhe, and they talked alone.

While waiting for his friends and colleagues, Jiang Zhe ordered a cup of tea for each of them and found a secluded place.

Professor Qin sipped his tea and said, “I’m very excited that you won the award today.

After a while, the excitement wore off and I felt like I had something to say.

Do you know what it means to win an award here? "

Jiang Zhe: "More famous?"

Professor Qin said: "This is qualifications. Winning an award at an exhibition of this level is accumulating qualifications for yourself.

What is the role of qualifications?
Let me give you an example. Suppose from now on, you honestly follow the conventional path, go to graduate school, get a doctorate, then teach at a school, step by step be promoted to professor, and then strive to become a department head or even a dean.

You are a big shot in the art world.

By that time, even if you rarely create, there will still be people who support you; many people will ask you for help; you will be someone else’s backer.”

Jiang Zhe smiled and said, "I haven't thought about this path."

“Whether you’ve thought about it or not, now that you have these qualifications, you are eligible to take this path.

"I don't quite understand. Why are you telling me this?"

Professor Qin spoke slowly, which surprised Jiang Zhe.
