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

Chapter 69, Mission Completed, Teacher Miao’s Guidance (Seeking Follow-up Reading)
After lunch, Jiang Zhe took Xiao Ka back to the studio.

He made himself a cup of tea, then turned on the system and saw the task prompt: The player has received the task reward and skills, and the task is completed.

He calculated that after deducting various expenses, the reward for the task would be less than 20 yuan. After deducting the fee for Chen Yan, the price would be even lower.

The system gives an explanation in the task description.

Because only one of the paintings Jiang Zhe chose to sell was a fine piece, and the rest were excellent works, the funds he ultimately received were slightly different from the amount of the system reward.

Through this painting sale, Jiang Zhe also got a rough idea of ​​the selling price of his paintings.

He decided that in order to avoid over-sales and affect the price of paintings, all works that were evaluated as mediocre by the system would be destroyed. The paintings that were evaluated as excellent by the system would be calculated by multiplying their size by 90.

If the system evaluates it as a quality product, it will depend on the circumstances.

Jiang Zhe shut down the system and started reviewing.

Because he still had some matters to deal with regarding Teacher Miao, he set the alarm clock.

At 1:30 in the afternoon, the alarm clock rang.

He paused his studies and dialed Teacher Miao's number.

The person who answered the phone was Teacher Miao's nurse.

Jiang Zhe told the nurse that he had completed the work that Teacher Miao wanted.

The nurse said that Teacher Miao was still resting and asked Jiang Zhe to wait for a call.

Jiang Zhe put down his phone and continued studying.

Just after 2 p.m., Teacher Miao's nurse called and asked Jiang Zhe to go to Teacher Miao's house.

Jiang Zhe rushed to Teacher Miao's house with his works.

The nurse led him to Teacher Miao's bedroom.

Jiang Zhe saw Teacher Miao sitting on the bed, with a table in front of him and a cup of water on it. The medical equipment had been removed, and the bedroom seemed much quieter.

"Hello, Teacher Miao." Jiang Zhe walked into the room and called out.

When Teacher Miao saw Jiang Zhe, a smile appeared on his face: "Jiang Zhe is here, come and sit down."

She asked the nurse to prepare some refreshments and said to Jiang Zhe, "You must be exhausted from reviewing for the third year of high school."

Jiang Zhe said: "I'm a little tired, but I'll be fine after a night's rest."

Teacher Miao said with emotion: "At the age of 18 or 19, you have endless energy. When I was your age, I did farm work at home. The most tiring work was weeding corn and moving corn stalks. It was tiring and hot, and it was easy to get scratched. No matter how tired you were on the first day, you had to continue working on the second day.

I really envy you guys for your energy.

By the way, you have a lot of study, and I still want you to paint, thank you for your trouble."

Jiang Zhe said, "It's not a problem. Drawing is my livelihood."

The nurse brought tea to Jiang Zhe with a plate of snacks on it.

Jiang Zhe took out his work from the painting tube.

Teacher Miao asked the nurse to help.

The size of Jiang Zhe's watercolor paintings is slightly larger than folio paper.

The two of them took the paintings and showed them to Teacher Miao.

Teacher Miao saw two people in the picture, wearing Chinese-style long gowns and long skirts. Although they were expressed in watercolors, the characters were vivid and had the charm of life decades ago.

"Closer."

Jiang Zhe and the other man moved the painting closer.

Teacher Miao stared at the man and his own face, raised his hand to touch, but held back. After looking at it for a long time, he signaled Jiang Zhe and the others to put down the painting.

She said to Jiang Zhe, "This painting is really good. Compared with your previous sketch, this watercolor painting has its own advantages. Can you keep both of them for me?"

Jiang Zhe said: "No problem, this is the painting for you, as long as you like it."

"I've given you a difficult problem." Teacher Miao sighed.

Jiang Zhe said, “Don’t be so polite.

After I finish this work, I will know how to paint when I encounter similar things again." Teacher Miao asked the assistant to put away the painting and greeted Jiang Zhe, "Drink some water and try some snacks. These are sheep fat snacks. In the past, they were used for offerings in temples.

"Really? I'd really like to try it." Jiang Zhe said.

"Don't use too much force, the snacks are very crispy," Teacher Miao reminded.

Jiang Zhe picked up a flower-shaped dessert, took a bite, and the dessert immediately broke into several pieces.

He tasted it carefully, and the aromas of the different ingredients in the dessert were mixed together without affecting each other.

He swallowed the snack and took a sip of tea. "Mr. Miao, your snacks are really delicious. I'm from Binhai too, and I didn't know there were such snacks."

Teacher Miao said: "In Binhai, there used to be several old shops where some of the chefs made very good dim sum.

Several old shops are gone now. There is only one old chef who occasionally makes dim sum at home.

I am a regular customer, and I buy from her whenever I want to eat.”

Jiang Zhe asked: "How do I find this master? I want to buy some and bring them back for my parents to try."

Teacher Miao said, "She makes snacks at irregular times. If you like, take some from me."

"Thank you, Teacher Miao."

Teacher Miao looked at Jiang Zhe and said, "You are a good boy."

Jiang Zhe said: "I feel embarrassed when you praise me like this."

Teacher Miao changed the topic: "Jiang Zhe, do you want to be a professional painter in the future?"

Jiang Zhe said: "I haven't thought about my future. Maybe I will become a professional painter."

Teacher Miao said: “This road is not easy to walk.

Some people say that learning to paint requires talent, while others say that the effort lies outside of painting. In fact, both are right.

Some people learn quickly, some learn slowly. Talent is not the only factor.

I have seen your paintings, and it is no exaggeration to say that at your age, it is already very good to be able to paint like this. For you to choose the path of a painter, technique should not be a problem, the rest is a matter of direction. "

When Jiang Zhe heard Teacher Miao talking about this issue, he put away his smile and asked earnestly: "I don't quite understand the direction you are talking about. Please give me some advice."

Teacher Miao said: "It can't be said that I give guidance, because of my work, I have come into contact with many painters, including several well-known old artists in our country.

I'll say two things.

A friend of mine mainly creates Chinese paintings. Several decades ago, he said something when he visited an art exhibition. In such a large exhibition hall, most of the paintings are oil paintings and watercolors. Which country is this exhibition from?

Teacher Miao smiled as he said this. "My friend is a straight-talker. What he said is both right and wrong.

I don't look down on Western painting. However, when learning Western painting, you can't just copy it mechanically, otherwise you will be stuck in the box of others and unable to break through.

Jiang Zhe, you don't talk much, which is a good habit. My friend has offended many people and suffered a lot.

I have another friend who originally did another job, but after spending a long time in contact with painters, he simply changed his career to become a painter.

Unfortunately, although he was very famous when he was alive, his memorial hall was renamed a few years after his death.

From this incident, we can see that his foundation is unstable.

A painter's foundation is his own skills and the culture around him.

The greatest of our Chinese art is always traditional Chinese painting.

If you have the chance in the future, you should learn our calligraphy and painting. Even if you are not proficient in it, you should absorb and integrate it into your life.”

Jiang Zhe listened carefully to Teacher Miao's advice.

He had heard people talk about similar things in his previous life, and understood that Teacher Miao was using the story of two people to enlighten himself with decades of experience. This thoughtfulness and these insights were invaluable.
