Chapter 489: Bloody Cruelty!

very scary!

Looking at Lin Zhibai’s gradually taking shape, Ken Watanabe couldn’t help but take a breath—

 Ink painting has its own obvious characteristics.

  Traditional ink painting does not need to focus on perspective, does not emphasize the changes in light and color of objects in nature, and does not even stick to the appearance of objects.

As long as it expresses the author's subjective taste.

 In other words, many times, they are deliberately pursuing a feeling of “the beauty lies between similarity and dissimilarity”.

  But it’s also because of this reason.

 Many people's ink paintings are extremely flat and cannot reach the state of "complementing the form with spirit" at all.

If you say that his paintings are not similar, he will still quibble:

Ink painting is like this. Only oil painting pays attention to focus perspective and whether the painting looks like...

 In fact, this is a fallacy.

Being expressive and not pursuing resemblance is a state that can only be achieved by top ink painting masters.

 For those with an average level, it is best to start with “drawing like” and then slowly pursue your own artistic expression.

And Lin Zhibai’s ink paintings are the kind of paintings that look very similar.

As I said just now, only novices strive to draw likenesses. Lin Zhibai, isn’t this a novice operation?

of course not.

Because Lin Zhibai's portraits are not realistic ones. To accurately describe his paintings, they should be "both physical and spiritual"!

 It not only looks like a painting, but is not completely divorced from reality, it also takes into account artistic expression!

 The sunset, sunset, mountain peaks, rivers, and trees are all dyed with a cold-toned temperament in a slightly desolate and lonely atmosphere.

This kind of control amazed Ken Watanabe!

However, it is not particularly exaggerated for a top master to achieve this. Compared with this, what makes Watanabe Ken even more admired, or what makes him call it terrifying, is actually Lin Zhibai's color matching!

 For example, the sunset in the painting.

Lin Zhibai's sunset is made of reddish brown as the base, and then the color gradually changes from dark to light, layer by layer, until finally, it turns into a dreamy pink.

 “How many colors did he mix?”

 In principle, there are countless colors in the world!

 But only those who study painting know that there are only dozens of kinds of paints.

 You can't paint with pure colors, it's too superficial, unless it's pure black and white ink.

However, even if it is a black and white water mill, it still has to be divided into multiple levels, not to mention that Lin Zhibai chose the color ink style. At first glance, the colors of his works are not particularly rich, and every point seems to be just right.

 But Ken Watanabe knows very well:

Lin Zhibai mixed countless colors for this painting!

The reason why these colors cannot be detected immediately with the naked eye is because Lin Zhibai processed them very lightly and he wanted to render them.

 In order to have a slight, almost negligible effect, he can specially mix a color.

This shows how rigorous Lin Zhibai’s handling is!

And because of the rendering colors he adjusted, there was a little more effect every time. In the end, when added together, it actually created an atmosphere that no one could achieve!

That kind of beauty makes people yearn for it!

 Longing for the scenery written by Lin Zhibai!

The host couldn't help but praise: "Teacher Ken Watanabe is right, it's scary! Teacher Lin Zhibai's color modulation and matching are simply divine and terrifying..."

 In his picture.

The colors are extremely rich!

 If someone else were to use so many colors, the resulting painting would be absolutely messed up, and would even give people the impression that the painting is dirty!

Ke Lin Zhibai’s paintings, the color combination is perfect and just right!

  Similar comparisons can be imagined with designs that deliberately contrast colors.

Only top masters can play with colors that don’t match each other and reconcile them into a harmonious unity!

 Wrong.

Ken Watanabe asked himself that he is also a top master. He is a true master of painting, but he is sure that his color mixing is far inferior to Lin Zhibai!

Especially when I see Lin Zhibai using all the pink colors so freely...

Logically speaking, this color is not very suitable for ink painting, but Lin Zhibai used it boldly, and he said the same thing:

 Harmony!

 It’s so harmonious!

 As if everything should be like this, Lishan should be like this!

 But this level was far from enough for Lin Zhibai to stop, or the effect was only 70% of what he expected.

Hence, the painting continues.

 He wanted to give the painting its real charm.

 Because of the charm, birds can fly freely, flowers can compete for beauty, and such works can become real works of art!

So what is Shen Yun?

 This involves understanding at the artistic level.

  In other words, this is an expression of Lin Zhibai's emotions and feelings, which is difficult to describe in detail.

Regardless of whether it can be described in words or not, Lin Zhibai's progress has not been delayed, and his works are becoming more and more complete.

 Eighty percent!

 Ninety percent!

 Ten percent!

 When the last stroke fell like a silver hook on an iron painting, a waterfall scene deep in Lishan Mountain was formed.

 The whole painting seems to be alive!

 The splashing waterfalls, the leaves blowing in the wind, the water drops on the lotus leaves, the lotus seeds in the lotus pods, the ripples under the mandarin ducks, and the villages at the foot of the mountains all reflect the vitality...

　　Boom!

　　The host exclaimed: “The finishing touch!”

 Watanabe Ken stood up in shock, is this the complete effect?

He could not describe his inner feelings at this moment. He only felt that Lin Zhibai's painting today seemed to be a textbook-level performance. His use of colors, pursuit of details, and depiction of charm all reached a level of meticulousness!

 Let the earth go, this is called "every branch and leaf is always related to love".

Coupled with the fact that "the writing is like a spirit", the moment this painting was completed, half a blue star was stunned at a glance!

 …

 Chinzhou.

"Oh My God!"

 “This was painted by Bai Di!?”

 “How can it be so beautiful!?”

“Although I don’t know how to draw, I can still appreciate such awesome paintings!”

“Ah ah ah, can this painting be printed? I really want to hang one at home!”

 …

 Qizhou.

 “This painting is incredible!”

 “Today I really understand why painting is art!”

 “It’s so beautiful! It is no exaggeration to say that this is the most amazing painting I have ever seen in my life!”

 “The richest man’s painting skills seem a bit strong!”

“Do you have some misunderstanding about Dian Meng? If you don’t win first place, I will eat the paintings of nine other painters!”

 Originally Qizhou gave up!

Lin Zhibai has helped Qizhou win three championships.

In the eyes of the people of Qizhou, even if Lin Zhibai is really a god, he shouldn’t have the ability to become a **** in every project of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, right?

 guess what the result was?

Lin Zhibai’s paintings are also god-like!

 …

 Chuzhou.

 “Impossible! This painting! How could he paint such a painting!”

“Are we going to lose again? Don’t we have Ling Tian! Isn’t Ling Tian known as the best painter in Zhaozhou?”

“We haven’t lost yet! Lin Zhibai has finished painting, but Ling Tian hasn’t finished yet!”

“Hey, don’t deceive yourself anymore. Once Lin Zhibai’s painting comes out, the other nine can only compete for runner-up, including Ling Tian.”

  “I don’t believe it!”     Some of the audience members in Chuzhou were shattered!

 The facts before us are so crazy!

Anyone who looks at Lin Zhibai’s painting will not believe that the other nine painters still have hope of surpassing him!

 …

 Zhaozhou.

 “Am I awake? This picture can be painted by a human being!”

"This kind of artistic conception, this kind of beauty, even if it is compared to the masterpieces of masters that have been passed down for thousands of years in the museum, it is not inferior, right?"

“If this painting were put up for auction now, I estimate the price would exceed 100 million…”

“No need to estimate, Sima Ke just tweeted that he is willing to buy Lin Zhibai’s painting for 700 million.”

"How many?"

 “Seven billion?”

“Haha, although Sima Ke is the richest man in Zhaozhou, he always speaks truthfully and falsely. Maybe he is just to gain popularity?”

 “It seems like it’s not as simple as riding on the popularity…”

It’s really not as simple as riding on the popularity, because Simak took a private plane directly to Chuzhou!

 What is he going to do?

Sima Ke didn’t say it clearly, but people in Zhaozhou had already begun to imagine that the richest man in Zhaozhou seemed to want to buy paintings from Lin Zhibai himself!

 …

 Middle-earth.

“Can this person be taken out and dissected?”

　　“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh nosssssssssssssssssss.”

 “Can serious human beings do this?”

“He is proficient in chess, calligraphy and painting. This kind of person is already very powerful. It turns out that Lin Zhibai is good at chess, calligraphy and painting. He is a **** in everything!”

“This painting can silence all contemporary painters!”

Lin Zhibai's painting itself is pursuing the ultimate beauty, but it has reached a state of both spirit and form, especially when he also poured emotion into it.

 It may be hypocritical to say so.

  But painting with emotion is different from painting simply for the sake of painting.

 The similarities are:

No matter how Lin Zhibai draws, as long as he is serious, he will never lose!

 …

 Chinzhou.

 Old man Lin Zhaomu looked at the screen and laughed.

His cell phone kept ringing as before, but he didn't answer it. Secretary Jin blocked them all.

 Because there is only one painting!

 But there was far more than one person who made the decision!

“I was careless before. I directly asked him for three calligraphy paintings. Would it be too much to ask him for this painting again?”

 The old man regretted it.

　　　They should be asked for together.

 If I want it now, even if I am a grandfather, I feel a little embarrassed.

 But the old man really likes this painting, or no one can refuse such a work!

Even Lin Zhaomu can predict that when imitations of this painting appear on the market in the future, they will definitely sell out!

 …

After finishing the drawing, Lin Zhibai admired it for a while. After confirming that there was no problem, he nodded towards the referee and signaled that he wanted to "hand in the paper".

 All painted.

 What to do if you don't "hand in the paper"?

 Soon, several judges came over.

Logically speaking, the paintings should be carried to the judges separately, but who made these people unable to sit still.

A total of eight judges gathered in front of Lin Zhibai's painting. No one spoke, but their eyes widened.

 Shocking!

Looking at this painting from a distance, they were already shocked!

When they looked closer, they discovered that there were more details in this painting than they saw from a distance, and even more than they imagined!

You must know that these judges are all top experts, and they all have master-level painting skills, otherwise they are not qualified to be this judge.

 But at this moment they discovered:

Lin Zhibai’s painting almost encompasses their lifelong learning in ink painting!

 There were even many treatments, but they didn't understand Lin Zhibai's method. They only knew that the result of this treatment was perfect!

 How the **** do you score this?

 Eight people smiled bitterly, there was no way to score.

 Because this painting is perfect in their perception.

Even in Ling Tian’s paintings, they can always find some small flaws.

But Lin Zhibai’s painting, even with a magnifying glass, they couldn’t find anything wrong with it.

If there is anything bad about it, it is probably that some of the operations in Lin Zhibai's painting touched their "knowledge blind spots".

 “Can I give a score now?”

 Staff reminded the eight judges.

 The eight judges shook their heads, meaning they had to wait and see again.

The staff had no choice but to let these people continue to mutter around Lin Zhibai, making weird clicking noises from time to time.

 …

Lin Zhibai’s location is not far from Ling Tian.

When Lin Zhibai finished painting, Ling Tian didn't take it seriously, but it was just a little too fast.

 But Ling Tian soon realized that something was wrong.

The eight judges surrounded Lin Zhibai's painting tightly, and they kept whispering for a long time.

 It shouldn’t be!

 Rate the painting and look at it for ten minutes, and you should have the result.

 Why did these judges not leave after standing next to Lin Zhibai for half an hour?

 Is there anything special about Lin Zhibai’s paintings?

Ling Tian finally finished the painting, and he had a reason to call the judges over.

However, Ling Tian did not call the judges directly, but walked towards Lin Zhibai's painting first.

He wanted to see what Lin Zhibai had drawn, but he actually let several judges see that it was not finished yet.

 “Let me take a look.”

Ling Tian smiled and said: "What a good painting it must be for everyone to appreciate it for so long. I have finished the painting over there. Please ask all the judges and teachers to move to..."

The voice suddenly stopped.

Ling Tian saw Lin Zhibai’s painting.

 Jumping colors, both physical and spiritual effects, ultimate charm, perfect details...

Countless feelings flashed through his mind instantly, and Ling Tian's expression froze. He had never seen this style before, but what he could be sure of was:

This painting is definitely the winner today!

At this moment, Ling Tian was dumbfounded. Is this really a state that humans can achieve?

 What Ling Tian didn’t know was.

In the live broadcast room, after he saw Lin Zhibai’s work, the close-up of his expression at that moment could almost be made into an emoticon.

All right.

　　There are already emoticons.

At a certain art school, a student took a screenshot of Ling Tian’s expression and chatted in the group:

 “Shock·jpg”

 “Ling Tian’s pupils are shaking!”

 “Ling Tian’s heart: Immortals are forbidden to participate!”

"I feel that if the teacher wants to give a comprehensive account of Lin Zhibai's painting, he can just open a new class in the school!"

“If I say something unpleasant, the teacher may not understand it.”

“Don’t talk about the color, just talk about the artistic conception, this feeling of both form and spirit. It feels like an unprecedented challenge to those who imitate paintings.”

“I will just ask Bai Di for the next exam.”

 “Hahahahahaha, the walking **** of painting, right?”

“I also bought a collection of Ling Tian’s paintings. I always thought he was the strongest painter, but I didn’t expect to see him being brutally beaten today.”

Yes!

 Blood abuse!

 The painting competition is not over yet, but in a sense it is!
