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

Jiang Zhe's room.

He put down his paintbrush, slowly moved his neck and wrists, then picked up the thermos and drank the water slowly.

At the same time, look at the sketches on the table.

These sketches all depict characters, based on Galina.

While he was drawing, he recalled the scene of his contact with Galina today, made some changes, and then drew it on paper.

The first sketch shows Galina in profile with the theater in the background.

The second picture shows the moment when Galina turned around and looked at herself.

He did not consider the technique too much, but focused on depicting the pair of eyes as gentle as autumn water.

The masterpieces I saw today would appear in my mind from time to time. He unconsciously incorporated some aesthetics and techniques into the picture, using limited materials to show the beauty of the girl.

He used the system to evaluate these sketches, and all of them were rated as excellent.

Jiang Zhe was in high spirits after his creation was recognized. He sat down at the table again and started creating.

One after another, sketches of people or landscapes appeared on paper. Even if he painted until very late, he was still full of energy.

Meanwhile, Galina was in her room, getting ready for tomorrow.

There was a knock on the door.

"Galina, are you still awake?" Anna, who shared the room with her, asked outside the door.

"Not asleep yet, come in." Galina said.

Anna walked into the room and saw her friend preparing for tomorrow, so she asked with a smile: "Are you really going to school tomorrow? But the teachers and classmates are not going. Wouldn't it look weird if you showed up alone? It would seem very deliberate."

Galina said to her companion, "As my best friend, can you go with me?"

"It's snowing too heavily. It's inconvenient to travel." Anna replied.

"I can cook your favorite food," Galina begged.

"Okay." Anna agreed with a smile. Before leaving the room, she took a look at the printed pictures her friend had posted on the wall. Among them was a work by Jiang Zhe.

……

The second morning in St. Petersburg.

Jiang Zhe got up early and washed his face.

I was very busy yesterday. After a night's rest, my strength has recovered. Thinking about going to a place I once longed to go today, my heart is full of anticipation.

He sorted out the dozen or so sketches he had drawn last night and put them in his backpack, and also took a few small gifts.

These were prepared for him by Wang Zhen.

After having breakfast with his companions, Jiang Zhe set off for today’s visit destination - the Repin Academy of Fine Arts as planned.

When I walked out of the hotel, I saw that the snow had stopped, but the snow on the road was even thicker than last night.

Many people in the study team have studied here before. They are very excited to revisit the place. They share their experiences with their companions and talk about which friends they will meet.

Everyone is waiting for the bus.

Jiang Zhe saw that there were few people on the street. The white snow blocked some of the clutter, giving the city a white tone.

The city streets are exceptionally clean and beautiful, full of exotic charm.

After getting on the bus, the tour guide who took them on the tour told everyone.

The location of the Repin Academy of Fine Arts is also the old city of the Chinese people. There is the Winter Palace, the original trading center, the dock, and several important universities, all of which are concentrated in that area. There are no modern buildings there, and important buildings are preserved.

There, you can see the entire history of St. Petersburg from its founding to the present day.

The tour guide also told everyone which places were worth seeing besides the attractions they planned to visit.

The ride wasn’t long.

The learning team soon began to get out of the car and walk.

We walked along the road beside the Neva River. Although there was snow and it was cold, we could chat and enjoy the scenery, and it was not hard. The tour guide pointed to a multi-story building not far away and told the members of the study team that it was the destination for today.

Jiang Zhe saw the introduction of the academy on the Internet. When he came here in person, he could feel the accumulation of hundreds of years, which was in line with his imagination.

However, when he reached the gate, Jiang Zhe was a little disappointed.

The main entrance of the Repin Academy of Fine Arts is only separated from the Neva River by a road.

Jiang Zhe and his friends walked along the river and looked at the school's exterior, thinking it was very grand. But when they crossed the road and came to the main entrance of the school, they discovered that the famous Repin Academy of Fine Arts had a very small main entrance.

It feels like the entrance of an ordinary three-story street-facing shop.

Someone raised the same question as Jiang Zhe.

The tour guide explained that the doors of all the buildings here are very small and thick for the purpose of heat preservation.

While the study team was waiting outside, the main door opened and Russians walked out.

These people, both men and women, glanced around the team and immediately waved and greeted familiar faces.

Someone stepped out from the crowd and greeted the few people who came to greet him warmly.

Jiang Zhe understood that these team members must have made an appointment to meet with alumni or friends here.

He looked at the school's plaque. Now, the school was no longer called the Repin Academy of Fine Arts, but the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts. Next to it was the school motto, which should be dedicated to the art of freedom.

On the other side of the door, there is the name the school once used, as well as a sign for the college museum.

There are two sculptures of goddesses on both sides of the main entrance.

The study team finally coordinated with the school and could start the visit. The school also sent a student to lead the team on the tour.

This student is an international student who came here to paint, so communication is convenient.

When the girl saw her compatriots from China, she did not show much enthusiasm, but just calmly introduced the situation of the school.

Jiang Zhe followed the team and walked into the main gate.

Behind the main entrance, there is another door.

Now between the two doors, I can indeed feel a big temperature difference.

Entering the second door is the lobby of the college.

This is a circular hall.

There are several doors and stairs around, leading to different areas.

Jiang Zhe looked around and found the design here very interesting. Whether it was the passage or the open space, it was higher than the round hall.

Standing in the round hall and looking around, one can't help but feel a sense of looking up.

Looking at the spiral staircases, he was reminded of the spiral staircase in Harry Potter.

Standing in the garden, you can see two open spaces: one is a bookstore with a large number of picture albums, and the other is the school's art material store.

The tour guide first introduced the different channels and connected functional areas. For example, the school's exhibition hall would host different art exhibitions every week.

The passage in the middle leads to the teaching area.

Jiang Zhe and others followed the tour guide to visit the teaching area first.

"In the middle is the auditorium, where all major ceremonies and meetings are held... Here is written the time when our school was built. Past here is a central campus, but it is generally not open to the public."

As we walked, the tour guide said, "Here are the names of the various departments - architecture, painting, and sculpture."

Jiang Zhe discovered that this place does have a long history, but in other words, many of the facilities and interior decorations are old, and some of the furnishings can even be seen in the style of the 1970s and 1980s in China.

Of course, some people like this style.

When passing by the sculpture teaching area, Jiang Zhe saw Galina appear in the corridor and waved to him with a smile.
