Culture Conquers Foreign Worlds

Rodney Art Street, the dim street lights illuminate the crowded and narrow streets, and the sky is still beginning to light, here is already a busy appearance, the apprentices in the workshops or studios complete all kinds of creations for the artist this day Various preparations, or polishing of carving tools, or making mural drawing boards, or mixing paint.

Fergus stepped across the dirty ditch, carrying an unfinished portrait on his back, and was about to open the wooden door of his studio when he heard a male voice saying hello from behind.

"Yo, Fergus."

Fergus turned his head and looked surprised when he saw the person who came: "Board George, why are you here."

The person who called him was a middle-aged man with a big beard and a gentle complexion. More than 90% of the painters on Rodney Street of the Arts knew his name because he was a painter in El Roy. The president of the meeting has good prestige.

The man known as Director George touched his head and smiled and said: "I have always wanted to talk to you, but recently I can't squeeze out the time, so I have to come to you when I don't have to do anything in the morning."

Fergus opened the door and smiled embarrassedly: "As long as you tell me to go to your office in person, why bother you to come here, please come in first."

The two entered the studio, and Director George moved a stool and sat down with a slightly serious expression: "Fergus, you should have guessed the purpose of my coming to you."

Fergus nodded, and said in a complicated tone: "Is it my apprentice's business?"

Director George put his hands on the table and supported his chin and said solemnly: "Ah, the rumors about her have been circulated in the guild. This is a rare opportunity for her, since she works for that Mr. Adrian. Now, if you apply to join the guild, no one in the guild will question or oppose her with great fanfare."

The way to distinguish between apprentices and professional painters in Elroy is very simple. It is to verify in the professional guild. Generally speaking, as long as you have the corresponding ability, you can easily pass the test. However, Fergus’ apprentice Niya had previously Participated in several tests, without exception, failed the election because of failing painting skills.

However, Fergus saw that Niya's painting skills were mature before allowing her to test. He knew better than everyone Niya's talent and enthusiasm. The unqualified evaluation was only a conclusion about Niya's female identity.

Fergus is not incapable of understanding the ideas of those painters. Letting a female painter pass the test to become a professional painter, and spreading it out will damage the reputation of the painter industry in Elroy. What kind of painter guild will allow Women become painters? Is the male painter dead? Can't find even one capable?

Fergus still hesitated: "But..."

"I know what you are hesitating. You asked her to accept the job as an apprentice before, including Mr. Adrian's commission. Don't worry, after all, Mr. Adrian is highly respected in Elroy. No one is there. Will question his vision, so private work cannot be a reason to eliminate her."

Director George looked out the window, looked at the people coming and going, and seemed to see further afield: "Fergus, I think this is the best time, just like Master Oshart two hundred years ago. His works have changed that era. Now we are definitely in the same situation. The era is changing. We are at the center of this change. In recent years, you have personally felt it. If a few decades ago, a No matter how good a female painter is, no matter how good the work is, it is impossible to show it."

"No, maybe it should be said that they are all changing. Our neighbors, who also use pens, have produced several well-known female writers. I don't think paintings that are also art will remain silent forever. Nyana's little girl is not Is it appropriate? She likes to paint, she is talented and motivated. The most important thing is that now she has encountered the opportunity that the artist dreams of. What do you think? Fergus, the young eagle has learned to spread her wings, do you still want to Do you want to tie her in this narrow and dark studio?"

Fergus shook his head: "Director George, I have never thought of this before."

Director George patted Fergus on the shoulder: "That's good, I should go back after I have said what I have said. By the way, in the end, should I consider asking Niya to find a new teacher?"

The role of a teacher is not only to teach students, the reputation of the teacher is also very important to the apprentice’s career as a professional painter. Fergus himself is just an artist who runs a fairly well-known studio on Rodney Street of Art. Know your own limit, and this limit has become Niya's bondage.

The sky is clear, isn't it right to push the young eagle that learns to spread its wings off the cliff?

Fergus looked a little lonely and depressed: "Don't worry about this. I once wrote a letter to Ms. Shirley, begging Ms. Shirley to accept her as an apprentice. Ms. Shirley agreed, although Ms. Shirley is not a professional painter. With her fame, she can definitely help Niya."

······

The spacious room was full of people. A man dressed in a painter’s costume came out and raised his right hand to announce: “Then the third test will start now. The test question is portrait painting, oil painting or watercolor. You can use what you are good at. The method of painting, the theme is customized, and the time limit is two hours."

After he finished speaking, the male painter looked at the door: "Then Ms. Eudora, please use it as a reference for their painting."

A woman in a gorgeous long skirt walked in with an umbrella. The female appearance was still beautiful, but she didn't seem to be used to this gorgeous long skirt, and her temperament revealed a subtle sense of incongruity.

A gorgeously dressed woman sits in the center of the room, with six drawing boards in front of her, and in front of each drawing board is a painter who participated in this professional test.

Eudora sat down stiffly. The harsh gazes of the male painters made her difficult to adapt. She just raised her head and was stunned. Right in front of her was a beautiful woman with short hair. She was much younger than her, yet she could sit. Here also explains her identity, a painter who came to participate in the test, when can women become painters?

Meeting Niya's eyes, Yudola politely nodded and chuckled. With the same female present, her mood was relaxed a lot.

Niya reported with an enthusiastic smile~www.readwn.com~ after taking a deep breath, his eyes became more cautious and began to think about how to write.

For this month, she worked as a deputy pen in the Diggini comics studio, assisting Shirley in drawing the details of the comics. At the beginning, her proud sketching ability was defeated, details, speed, and even The level of exquisiteness that cannot be described in words is far less than Shirley. Fortunately, Shirley does not have a clumsy mentality and carefully guides her inadequacy in painting. Shirley's painting skills are mostly derived from the modern painting skills taught by Harvey, and naturally it is impossible to get worse.

Niya is very talented. Although she can't compare to Shirley, her passion for painting from the heart can't be compared to Shirley.

Shirley is a better teacher than Harvey, and Niya is a better student than Shirley. The Dickini comics studio has provided an excellent environment. So this month, Shirley’s painting technology has improved rapidly, every time Moments are absorbing the knowledge and abilities that Shirley possesses.

The girl gestured with a paintbrush and measured the scale of the character. What she learned most this month was probably the light and shadow of the sketch and the sense of space.

Other male painters glanced at her and didn't know what Niya was playing, so they could hardly look at her with a mentally retarded look. As a model, Udora also covered her lips and chuckled.
