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

Chapter 8: A very timely gift package
The lottery wheel on the system panel disappeared, leaving only the blue gift box.

The blue gift box turned into a ball of light and exploded like a firework.

Jiang Zhe only felt a huge amount of information coming into his mind.

The skill gift pack is divided into five levels: beginner, intermediate, advanced, special and master. Although it is only an intermediate gift pack, it contains a lot of skill experience, so the information content is huge.

Jiang Zhe tried hard to digest and absorb the skills in the gift pack.

The watercolor paintings mentioned in the gift package include painting methods of watercolor, gouache and all colloid pigments.

The system gift package selects several painters who have made achievements in watercolor painting from all over the world and integrates their techniques.

Although the intermediate gift package only contains skills, methods and common sense, it covers a wide range of skills. Therefore, after mastering the gift package skills, you will be able to cope with different themes and materials.

About twenty minutes later, all the gift package skills were integrated into Jiang Zhe's mind, allowing him to master many new techniques in a short period of time.

Jiang Zhe closed his eyes and used his fingers to draw in the air, simulating the movement of a paintbrush, imagining the dry and wet painting method, and the blending of pigment medium and water. The unique secret techniques of several painters in the gift package were all presented in his mind, making him feel like he had found a treasure.

He glanced through the skills and opened his eyes.

These techniques are far beyond my level and knowledge, and they still need practice to become proficient in them.

Of course, techniques and experience cannot improve creative thinking. If you want your work to have depth, you need your own understanding and experience.

However, with the intermediate technique package, he will receive higher-level rewards in the future, which makes him full of confidence in his plans for art exams and selling paintings.

After the winter vacation, the liberal arts and science classes started their make-up classes, while the art classes started their sprint training before the art exam.

On the first day of training, Jiang Zhe came to the school studio early with his painting supplies.

For this training, the school arranged color sketching (including dictation) and design courses.

The school offers art classes for three grades and six studios.

There is a painting studio for each of the two classes in Grade 12, Class 9 and Class 10.

Since the color training was taught by an external teacher, the two classes shared a large temporary studio.

Jiang Zhe walked into the spacious studio and saw the study committee members of the two classes leading their classmates to set up the scenery stage.

Because there are nearly a hundred people in the two classes, the color sketching class requires six sets of scenery.

He helped arrange the scenery, fetched his own drawing board and stool, and chose a location.

There are many tools needed to paint gouache, and an easel is required.

As more and more students came, the large studio became crowded and noisy.

However, Jiang Zhe did not use the easel. He knew that the teacher would have new requirements.

Most art majors will test color still life sketching or dictation, and occasionally some schools will test color landscape painting or creation. Therefore, most students will spend a lot of time practicing.

However, the perception and understanding of color requires talent and time. For many students, color will be a minus point if they are not practiced properly.

Therefore, many students were looking forward to this training. Some people chatted while preparing, causing a constant buzzing noise in the classroom.

Jiang Zhe sat in his seat, using the toolbox as a workbench, and methodically squeezed the paint into the palette one by one.

It is best to prepare gum paint as needed, but students usually squeeze commonly used paints into the paint box in advance for the convenience of exams and practice.

A 24-grid paint box is enough for one practice or exam.

This simple method will cause the toner and glue to settle and separate in the grid, resulting in a decrease in color purity.

Therefore, Jiang Zhe insisted on preparing as needed.

He saw that the glue and powder of the remaining colors in the paint box had separated, so he used the handle of an old paintbrush to mash the colors together and mix them evenly.

When Jiang Zhe pasted the drawing paper on the drawing board, he saw Director Lin leading a man into the studio. The man had sparse gray hair and a fat nose. He was about 50 years old and wore a dark blue down jacket and brown woolen trousers, which gave people a feeling of being a little old.

Jiang Zhe looked at this teacher and felt emotional. He lived his life again and met this teacher who had a profound influence on him.

Director Lin looked around and the studio quickly became quiet.

He put on a smile and began to introduce: "Classmates, this is our Binhai Art High School teacher Yin Shizhen. You have been looking forward to Teacher Yin's class for a long time. Welcome everyone!"

The students began to applaud loudly.

Teacher Yin Shizhen is well-known in Binhai's art circle. He has been tutoring high school students for art exams since the 80s, and has been doing so for 20 years. He is also a well-known local painter.

According to Jiang Zhe, his paintings can be sold for around 10,000 yuan, with occasional high prices.

Teacher Yin Shizhen speaks slowly and with a strong accent.

He briefly introduced himself and began to talk about the course schedule and his understanding of color.

The students have prepared positions for the teacher to demonstrate.

Yoon Se-jin sat on the painting stool and prepared the tools while demonstrating how to prepare.

"Students will take the art exam in a month. Most exam rooms will not prepare easels. I suggest that students start simulating the exam environment now. Don't use an easel. Put the painting tools on the ground, hold the drawing board by yourself, and complete a gouache painting."

Many students took action immediately.

Director Lin immediately stopped him and indicated that the easels should be removed after Teacher Yin finished the demonstration to avoid affecting the demonstration process.

Teacher Yin is facing a group of still lifes, including Tang Sancai horses, fruits, old school bags and lining cloth.

He observed for a moment, picked up a large brush, moistened it carefully, dipped it in ultramarine, and began to sketch on a folio of gouache paper.

After outlining the contours of the scenery and dividing the picture into layers, use a wool shading brush to lay the tone.

While painting, Mr. Yin explained his own color theory, especially how to deal with art exams.

According to his experience, it is difficult to cover all aspects in a color test, for example, how to balance the relationship between sketching and color in a painting.

The author either focuses on sketching relationships or color relationships.

He specifically demonstrated how to adjust the tone and the relationship between warm and cold colors in the picture within three hours or two and a half hours.

About thirty minutes later, after adjusting the tone of the picture, Teacher Yin stopped painting and stood up to face everyone.

He is good at teaching color painting. The color tone of the whole painting looks calm and bright, with a thick and transparent texture of watercolor. Because the demonstration was very exciting, the students were still eager to watch.

"Students, let's first practice adjusting the color tone based on still life to train our ability and awareness of actively designing the color tone.

After completing the exercise within an hour, I will demonstrate how to depict in depth and how to tidy up the picture.

You have to complete a color sketch in a short time, so you must make some choices. You can make your choices based on the requirements of the school you want to apply for. If you don’t understand something, you can ask questions during practice. ”

Nearly a hundred students immediately began to remove their easels and rearrange their positions.

After a few minutes, the studio became quiet again.

Without an easel as an aid, most people cannot adapt to the way of painting in the examination room.

However, because Jiang Zhe likes to go out sketching, he has long been accustomed to this way of creation.

　Thanks to fellow readers for their recommendations and support.

　　The new book is worth reading, thank you everyone.
