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

Jiang Zhe carried his painting box and repeatedly chose a new sketching location. Finally, he selected a new angle and quickly prepared a piece of watercolor paper.

Today, he has already painted an oil painting and a watercolor. There is about an hour left before the end of the day, so he plans to paint another watercolor.

In the previous watercolor painting, in order to express the oppressive feeling brought by the factory docks and ships, he used heavy brushstrokes to create the visual impact of industrial crystallization under strong light.

At this moment, the sun gradually moved westwards, the light gradually dimmed, and the dock, the ship, the sea and the people who were still working were all covered with a layer of warm light.

This warm light brings a different visual effect to the factory.

Jiang Zhe wanted to highlight his feelings at the moment, so he chose a higher position and unfolded the picture from a bird's-eye view.

In the distance is the vast sea, the sea-sky boundary and the sky. The afternoon sun makes the background hazy, and the smoke and dust splashing around the dock adds to the haziness of the nearby. The whole painting has a dreamy beauty bathed in warm light.

Details can be vaguely seen in the haze.

In his portrayal, Jiang Zhe fully brings out the properties of water and paint.

At this moment, many students were ready to finish today's sketching. Seeing Jiang Zhe start to create new works, they came over to watch.

Many workers also began to prepare to finish work.

Some workers would ask questions when passing by.

"Class, when will you finish today?"

"Are you coming tomorrow?"

A student responded that he would continue sketching tomorrow.

The workers finished their work and went back to wash up.

Some workers live in the city or suburbs and have to take the bus, while some workers are managed by a construction team and live in dormitories.

The teacher in charge of the art school has been controlling the time. Seeing that Jiang Zhe had not finished painting, he did not rush to gather the students, but only informed the students separately that if they had finished painting, they could pack up and gather at the factory gate.

Jiang Zhe completed the work just in time for the gathering.

The light is getting darker and darker. In this light, the painting seems particularly beautiful.

Today's three paintings were all evaluated as fine works by the system. Moreover, there are a lot of materials in the factory, which makes him feel that there is still room for further exploration. Today's sketching can be regarded as a great harvest. It can provide materials for future creations.

Fu Min and Jupiter have been waiting for Jiang Zhe.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting."

"It's okay. They're waiting over there too."

The paint was not dry yet, so Jiang Zhe could only put away his tools, free up one hand to hold the drawing board, and let the paint dry naturally.

"Where are we going to sketch tomorrow?"

"Maybe we'll go to the shipyard tomorrow."

“I think there is still a lot to paint here at the dock.”

"I think so."

"We can talk to the teacher and come here again tomorrow..." Several people came to the meeting place while chatting about tomorrow's plans.

A large number of workers gathered in the small square of the factory, preparing to take the shuttle bus.

When they saw this group of students, they started talking about it.

Jiang Zhe was also observing the workers.

At this time, many people changed out of their work clothes and put on their own clothes. Some were fashionable, some were old. The bags they carried were also varied. The younger workers carried fashionable bags, while some of the older workers carried black leather bags, the same bags that Uncle Benshan used to collect electricity bills.

Jiang Zhe memorized these details silently. He didn't have the conditions to record them with a brush, so he planned to find an opportunity to draw them. After the students gathered, they boarded the vehicle and returned to school.

Teacher Wei made a summary in the car and put forward the requirements for tomorrow. Many students fell asleep in the car after a busy day.

When he returned to school, Jiang Zhe saw Chen Yan already waiting at the school gate.

"How is it? Are you tired today?"

Jiang Zhe said, "I'm not tired. Let's go and have dinner."

"Does Jiang Zhe want to have dinner with us?" Several classmates knew that Jiang Zhe would have dinner with Chen Yan, but they teased him deliberately.

Jiang Zhe was not polite and responded with a joke.

In the following sketching time, Jiang Zhe and his classmates continued to sketch in the factory. On Saturdays and Sundays, they sorted out materials in the studio and conceived new works until the sketching class in the factory ended.

When leaving the factory for the last time, Mou Xing looked at the factory area and said, "After sketching here for a few days, I realized how hard the front-line workers here work. It's really not easy for the fitters, welders, and electricians." Jiang Zhe and others felt the same way and nodded.

However, Mou Xing immediately said something else. "Fortunately, I can sell paintings now. I must not come here to work in the future, otherwise I will be exhausted to death."

Jiang Zhe sighed, saying that people are so contradictory. They have sympathy for those who are suffering, but they also warn themselves not to suffer that kind of suffering.

After returning to school, Jiang Zhe received a call from Professor Qin and rushed to Professor Qin's office with his work.

Professor Qin looked at his sketches, gave some pointers, and then asked, "The Capital Biennale is about to end. Do you want to go to the capital?"

Jiang Zhe said, "I have contacted Wang Zhen. I will leave for the capital today and return on Sunday."

Professor Qin said: "We won't go. If the works cannot be sold for the time being, we will put them on display in Wang Zhen's gallery first."

"If you need anything, just tell me directly." Jiang Zhe said.

"I'm fine here. How's that thing you've been working on? Are you sure about it?" Professor Qin knew what Jiang Zhe was thinking. If his student's work could be collected by the National Art Museum, it would also make him proud.

"There is still no news." Jiang Zhe told the truth.

Professor Qin said, "We are all powerless in this regard. You should try your best. If it doesn't work, don't force it. There will be opportunities later. If you need to take a leave, just tell me directly."

"Thank you, teacher."

That night, Jiang Zhe flew to the capital.

Wang Zhen came to the airport to pick him up.

The two sat in the car and talked about their plans after the Biennale.

“Tomorrow we will go and place a few friends there first, and then see the attitude of the museum. We will remove the exhibition the day after tomorrow.

If the museum does not respond, please ship your works to my gallery first."

Jiang Zhe responded.

Wang Zhen talked about the recent situation. Several painters were exposed for overpriced works, which had a great impact. He guessed that these reasons might be the reason why the museum became cautious.

Jiang Zhe comforted himself: "Maybe the time is not right yet."

Wang Zhen said: "You are still young, there are plenty of opportunities, forget it, let's not talk about this.

Haven't you always wanted to buy a house in the capital? I recently had some time to look at the real estate market in the capital, and I think what you said makes sense.

I asked my friend to help me keep an eye out for houses, and I found a few good ones. Would you like to take a look? "

Jiang Zhe became interested: "Sure, let's go and have a look some time."
