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

Jiang Zhe took a stick of incense and carefully placed the incense head close to the fuse of the firecracker.

I lightly touched the incense head, but unfortunately, I missed the fuse of the firecracker.

Tried again, no response from the lead.

Because it was cold and the incense sticks were too thin, his hands were shaking a little.

Dad bought such big firecrackers. Why did he buy them?
When he complained in his heart,
With a hiss, the fuse began to burn.

Jiang Zhe was half a second slow to react and stepped back hastily.

Ping pong—the crackling sound of firecrackers rang out in the villa courtyard.

Although Jiang Zhe was startled, he calmed down and watched the firecrackers explode with his parents.

Xiao Ka was frightened by the firecrackers and barked, and ran to Jiang Zhe.

Jiang Zhe picked it up and comforted it gently.

This little guy has stopped growing in height, but has become heavier.

The sound of firecrackers breaks the silence and brings the New Year atmosphere to a climax.

This year, Jiang Zhe and his family celebrated the New Year in the villa.

The atmosphere during the New Year in the villa community is a little quieter than in previous communities.

Jiang Yi and his wife still stick to their previous New Year customs, preparing New Year's goods, setting off firecrackers and other procedures.

Although it was troublesome, it added a festive atmosphere to the villa.

Jiang Zhe's family was the first in the community to set off firecrackers.

It was as if a switch was turned on, and people in the community started setting off firecrackers one after another.

Jiang Zhe and his family returned to the living room and continued to enjoy the New Year's Eve dinner.

The huge TV has already started playing programs before the Spring Festival Gala.

During the New Year's Eve dinner, Jiang Yi and his wife talked about Jiang Zhe's achievements this year.

Jiang Zhe heard that his parents kept everything they did in mind.

Among them, my memory of the specific time of some things has become vague, but my two elders still remember them so clearly.

He once again truly felt his parents' concern for him, even though they always nagged him on weekdays.

A family of three finished their New Year’s Eve dinner before the Spring Festival Gala began.

Jiang Zhe helped his parents clean up the table, then went to his study and started calling his friends.

Chen Yan, Sister Liao, Wang Zhen, Professor Qin... classmates, teachers, friends...

He called everyone one by one to wish them a happy new year, including Galina, of course.

During this period, some friends also called Jiang Zhe to send their blessings.

Jiang Zhe replaced the battery in his mobile phone before he could complete his plan to send New Year greetings over the phone.

I looked at my watch and saw that the call had lasted more than an hour.

Return to the living room.

The parents are drinking tea and watching the show.

There were dried fruit snacks and a small pile of melon seed shells on the coffee table.

"Hurry up and sit down and watch the show."

"How many calls did you make? I thought you were asleep," asked Jiang Yi and his wife.

Jiang Zhe sat down on the sofa. "There's nothing I can do. There are some relationships where I have to be polite."

"Tomorrow, let's go to pay New Year's greetings separately." Jiang Yi assigned the task of paying New Year's greetings.

Jiang Zhe agreed.

That night, he watched the Spring Festival Gala with his parents before returning to his room.

Jiang Zhe lay down, closed his eyes, and turned on the system.

On the system page, a text prompt for the New Year’s Eve lottery appears.

Every New Year, the system holds a lottery. Jiang Zhe has been waiting.

After clicking on the lottery, you will draw a gift box from the lottery wheel.

Congratulations, you have won the comprehensive technique package (advanced skills) of Traditional Chinese Painting - Xin'an School of Painting.

Jiang Zhe knew that the representative figures of the Xin'an School of Painting, Hongren in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, together with Zha Shibiao, Sun Yi and Wang Zhirui, were called the "Four Masters of the Xin'an School". This school of painting had a great influence in the painting world at that time. The four of them were all from Shexian and Xiuning. The two counties belonged to Xin'an County during the Jin and Tang dynasties, hence the name - Xin'an School of Painting.

He had learned relevant knowledge and skills, and had also extracted Chinese painting skill packages from the system, so he understood that the value of this package might be very high.

Click to receive with great anticipation.

A message came into my mind.

Jiang Zhe absorbs information and at the same time compares it with existing knowledge and verifies it.

This gift pack is an advanced skill pack, which combines the techniques of several representative figures of the painting school, and also includes the painters' understanding and pursuit of painting.

Most members of the painting school follow the style of Ni Zan and Huang Gongwang from the Yuan Dynasty. Their brushwork is simple, elegant, and vigorous. They love to sketch Huangshan Mountain and paint clouds, seas, pines, and rocks. Among them, Hongren and Zha Shibiao have the greatest influence, and they occupy the largest proportion in the skill pack.

The artistic trend of the Xin'an School of Painting was once very popular and had many followers. Even modern and contemporary painters drew inspiration from it.

After Jiang Zhe absorbed the gift package information and compared it with the knowledge he had previously acquired, he felt that although he only won a high-level gift package in this lottery, it was definitely not a waste of opportunity.

Judging from the perspective of influence, the painters of the Xin'an School may not be as good as great masters such as Dong Qichang, but mastering more skills and concepts will be a beneficial enrichment for their future development.

This time's lucky draw did not help me improve my oil painting skills, but maybe I need to learn by analogy.

After closing the page, Jiang Zhe fell into a sound sleep and welcomed the new year.

……

Jiang Zhe returned to the villa before dinner.

After having dinner with my parents, I went into the studio in the villa.

He began to organize his sketches.

From the first to the third day of the New Year, he was busy gathering with relatives and friends and participating in activities in the circle. Only at night could he return to his studio to do what he liked.

Starting tomorrow, he can concentrate on his creation.

Many people know his habit and won't make trouble for it.

Jiang Zhe picked up a pencil and began to draw a draft on a piece of sketch paper.

One, two...

The paintings depict the city scenery, characters and life fragments he saw in St. Petersburg.

A trip to Russia gave him the opportunity to experience and understand the real Russia.

Jiang Zhe plans to create a series of works using these materials.

In addition, he also wanted to continue creating a series of portraits based on Galina.

Because of their special relationship, they can only communicate through phone calls, so Jiang Zhe always has a special feeling for Galina.

The next morning, Jiang Zhe selected a small canvas and hung a sketch of a portrait next to it as a reference.

Prepare the oil painting materials and start creating using the direct painting method.

In this painting, he depicted Galina's portrait.

Galina is shown in a 3/4 profile.

The viewer's angle is slightly lower than the person in the painting, and one can see Galina's smooth forehead, high nose bridge, and bright eyes.

Jiang Zhe designed a set of clothes for Galina in the painting. It was a white cashmere sweater with small jewels embellishing the collar.

He also made some changes to Galina's hair, making her long curly hair fluffy and natural, which highlights the character's relaxed and comfortable mental state.

The work is not large in size, but Jiang Zhe has an extremely delicate brushwork that expresses the impact of the characters and the texture of the texture.

As the portrayal progressed, his creative state became better and better, so much so that when depicting certain details, he threw aside the original draft and started new creations.

This painting was completed in one go.

Jiang Zhe was very satisfied with the final result. After a short rest, he started to create the second work.
