The Trickster's Ninth Episode

"You're being polite, there's nothing troublesome for friends to help each other." Ugonglian quickly responded.

"Hey! Look at me. I came here to talk about why Lulu kept letting guests stand at the door, but I ended up making the same mistake myself. Please come in."

The crowd entered Madarame Mansion under the leadership of Madarame City Taro.

"Teacher, I want to show Ren to the studio, is that okay?" Kitagawa Yusuke said straight to the point.

"Ah! That's fine! If you want to use the studio, you can do it yourself. It just so happens that Lulu and I still have something to talk about, so you can go and do your work." Madarame Ichitaro agreed with ease.

"Okay." Kitagawa Yusuke nodded in greeting, then turned back and said to Amamiya Ren. "Then let's not bother the teacher, come with me here."

Ren Amamiya and Yusuke Kitagawa walked towards the studio, leaving Madarame Ichitaro and Suzuhara Lulu in the living room.

Before leaving, Ren Amamiya seemed to have vaguely heard Madarame Taro talking to Suzuhara Lulu.

"I'm glad you, Lulu, can trust me to ask me about this matter, but regarding the future, as a teacher, I can't help you make decisions, and as a painter who has failed half his life, I can't give any convincing advice. But I have already told you a lot about the profession of painters when you were studying here..."

The voice behind gradually faded away and became inaudible.

On the subject of graduation and the future?

It's a real topic!

Leaving aside those so-called mainstream and elite professions, the living environment of the profession of painters is indeed somewhat delicate.The professional environment of painters is a positive pyramid, so-called drought dies and floods die.

If illustrators and cartoonists can still rely on relatively clear market demand-even if they are temporarily unsuccessful, at least they have a direction to work hard.Then the living conditions of traditional painters are very metaphysical - because it is difficult for you to guarantee that your [art] can be paid for by money.

When Madarame Ichitaro was still Madarame Ryusai, it was because of the uncertainty of [art] that he finally came to the conclusion [what the world wants are gimmicks and blindness, not art].

A painter's pursuit of art is often beyond his personal pursuit of material things, but painters can't live without material things, and money is still the vulgar thing that ultimately pays for this art.

Even a person like Yusuke Kitagawa who [has talent], [is obsessed with art] and [works very hard] dare not say that he will definitely be able to become a master of painting.If they can't sell their paintings, they can only live in poverty. If this is the case, what about other lesser people?

The future of painters is indeed a melancholy topic.

That girl who always smiles enthusiastically and cheerfully will also have such troubles!

Ren Amamiya sighed silently, and came to Madarame Taro's studio with Yusuke Kitagawa.

The painter just opened it wide open, walked to the door, Ren Yu Gonglian looked in, there were several easels, several canvases, and the ground was full of picture frames, some were finished paintings, some were empty frames, and the inside of the house looked like The appearance is unobstructed, and the sense of gap hits like a sea tide.

Originally, this place was tightly locked up by Madarame Liusai, and it was full of fakes of the painting called "Sayuri".

Walking into the room, Yu Gonglian saw a painting placed in a particularly conspicuous position. In the painting, a woman was holding her baby who was still in swaddle, with touching tenderness in her eyes.

This composition is too familiar. The name of this painting is "Sayuri", which is a self-portrait of Kitagawa Yusuke's mother.

"This is?" Ren Amamiya looked at Kitagawa Yusuke questioningly.

"Is this? This is my mother's work." Speaking of "Sayuri", Kitagawa Yusuke couldn't help but smile on his always stern face. "However, this one is not an authentic work, but a work copied by the teacher."

"Teacher, he likes this painting of his mother very much, so he copied it and put it in his studio."

"By the way, my mother is also a teacher's student." Kitagawa Yusuke introduced. "Heh! There are many former students of the teacher who let their children continue to study with the teacher. The teacher is really a very amazing person."

"Although this "Lily" is not a very famous painting, I have always felt that there is an indescribable beauty in this painting of my mother. I think the teacher must have seen such beauty, so he took this painting The copy has been kept in my studio."

"My goal is to one day be like my mother, to draw works that can convey beauty, conquer teachers, and conquer the world." Kitagawa Yusuke said with increasing enthusiasm and firmness.

"Of course, at my current level, it would seem arrogant to say such a thing, which makes you laugh." As soon as the subject changed, Kitagawa Yusuke quickly controlled his emotions and became calm again.

"It's a good thing to have a goal! What's so ridiculous. And I think Yusuke, you will definitely be able to realize your ideal in the future." Amamiya Ren chuckled and said.

"You can't even express your own heart through a brush. It's too early to talk about realizing your ideals." Kitagawa Yusuke said very harsh words to himself.

"Well..." Yu Gonglian tilted her head, but did not answer.

Kitagawa Yusuke is really not good at answering. At this time, if you follow the normal politeness, even if it is a false attitude, you should accept it.

You should learn from a student with a voice that resembles yours, Yusuke!

But Amamiya Ren wouldn't mind this, if not, it wouldn't be Yusuke.

Ren Amamiya was reluctant to answer the conversation for a while, because he felt that he seemed to have no position to deny that Yusuke Kitagawa was so strict with him.

Because he seems to be a little more strict with himself than Kitagawa Yusuke.

If you can neither deny nor agree, then you have nothing to say.

"Speaking of which, where do you put the half-finished portrait you painted for me? Didn't you say you want me to see it?" Yu Gonglian changed the subject directly.

"..." Kitagawa Yusuke showed a very embarrassed expression again. "Having said that, when things come to an end, I still feel very ashamed and ashamed to show it to others."

"..." Yu Gonglian looked at the other party with amused and helpless expression.

This awkward character is really funny sometimes, but it is also a bit tiring to deal with.

"If you are embarrassed to say, then I can only ask Mr. Madarame, he should know."

"Wait!" Kitagawa Yusuke showed horror, stretched out his five fingers like Ishikawa Goemon in Noh drama, and stopped Amamiya Ren with a somewhat exaggerated movement.

"..." Kitagawa Yusuke breathed out awkwardly, then let out a long sigh, and said.

"The semi-finished painting is in my studio, come with me."

Chapter 68 This is the reason for clinging to reincarnation

Ren Amamiya followed Kitagawa Yusuke to his studio.

Now Kitagawa Yusuke is no longer an orphan, and it stands to reason that he no longer lives in Madarame House.

Being able to have his own studio here shows that even among the disciples, Kitagawa Yusuke should have a very high status in Madarame Taro's heart.

It is very likely that it is a relationship like a closed disciple.

Afterwards, Ren Amamiya saw what Kitagawa Yusuke said about [semi-finished portrait].

Ren Amamiya's thinking mode determines that he doesn't know much about art, but he can summarize his feelings when he sees this painting in very simple words.

The boss thinks that I can't draw well.jpg

Originally, Ren Amamiya also said that he had his own opinions and characteristics in one of the paintings, but looking at it now, well, he should not be able to help Kitagawa Yusuke.

Generally speaking, this painting is similar to the semi-finished product that Amamiya Ren saw in the painting classroom of Kuangxing. He also said that the red and black thick paint, depressing style, the feeling conveyed by Amamiya Ren in the painting is arrogance and contempt.

As for the information and feelings conveyed on the screen, Ren Amamiya thinks there is nothing wrong with it. Impressionism is to add a lot of subjective elements to a little objective, so it doesn’t really matter whether the things presented on the painting match reality. It depends on whether the painter has painted the feeling.

Or to put it simply and crudely—did the artist draw out his [prejudice].

When making impression paintings, holding [prejudice] is not only a deduction item, but also a bonus item.Because Impressionism is all about painting subjective things—what do you see?Then the information I see is limited and not enough to make a painting, so I need to add my own brain supplement.Usually, some unrealistic, more artistic and romantic colors are added to make the painting a unique work that is similar to reality and only exists on the canvas.

"Hmm...I think the painting is pretty good!" Ren Amamiya looked at the painting carefully, and finally gave her own evaluation with her real feelings.

"The unfinished work, even if there are some fine brushwork, is still unqualified in the final analysis." Kitagawa Yusuke disagrees.

You wrote half of the composition on the Chinese test paper and didn't end it. Can you still get a passing grade?

"Well! It's not convenient for me to comment on such things as the painting is not finished." Yu Gonglian took the words with some helplessness.

If a painting is not finished, it is entirely up to the artist himself to decide.

In many cases, the level of a painter can actually be seen from the amount of effort he puts into painting.

It doesn't mean that drawing for a long time is considered good, it's similar to the exam mentioned at the beginning, if you really don't know how to do it, even if you sit there for two hours, you still can't answer the questions you can't answer.

The same is true for painting, if the level is not enough, if you just sit in front of the canvas for a few hours and fix a few strokes, most of them are superfluous, which may not be useful, and may damage the overall structure of the painting.

Even when many masters paint, they let their disciples paint first.The disciple's level is exhausted and he can't continue to draw, and then he can continue to create by himself, and carry out the link of "adding [-] million points of details".

This is not a meme, the real situation is like this, the essence of kung fu is often in the [billion-point details].

So in fact, painting is really subjective, maybe a layman looks at it, hey!Isn't this already drawn?This is already a painting!There are noses and eyes, there are characters and backgrounds, the structure is clear and the colors are full, and the canvas is full of details. This is clearly an exquisite finished painting.

But in the eyes of the painter himself, these may not be enough.

However, Ren Amamiya thinks of the rhetoric used by Yusuke Kitagawa when he mentioned this [semi-finished product] to himself before. The unfinished painting in his mouth should not mean that the painting itself is incomplete, but that he has something that he has not painted. come out.

In other words, what is lacking is not technique, but inspiration.

"You said that the painting is not finished. Could it be that your intention is to present your original idea, or multiple elements that came to mind, but you encountered a contradiction or did not know how to express it? Is it?" Yu Gonglian asked.

Before Kitagawa Yusuke could respond, Ren Amamiya continued.

"I'm guessing, Yusuke, that you're a bit of a dead end? In impression paintings, the author's subjective filling is very important, right? You feel like you're going all the way to sketching in the direction of sketching."

"Sketch?!" Kitagawa Yusuke looked at Ren Amamiya in surprise, with doubts on his face.

I have already painted like this, is this still called sketching?It is true that Ren Amamiya's own unique temperament played a guiding role in painting a young high school student who is arrogant and depressed, but isn't this subjective enough?

Well, although this matter sounds absurd, but...you have to let Amamiya Ren to judge, this painting is really sketchy.

If you take off the cynical feeling on Yasen, and then paste the face in this painting on Yasen's head, it feels like you can almost take a fake photo.

"Although you can't tell it just by looking at it, but it looks like this..." Yu Gonglian pointed to the [semi-finished product] and said. "Probably it can be regarded as a side of me."

"According to what you said at the beginning, Yusuke, you got a lot of elements and inspiration from me, right? Although I don't know what you saw, but your current state is that you stubbornly want to pass everything you see. The paintbrush reappears, which is falling into the misunderstanding of realism!"

"After all, you don't know me well enough. You don't know my life and experience, so you don't know why the elements you see appear in me. Based on this ignorance, you don't want to behave like a normal person. Like Impressionists, they filled in this gap by themselves, so of course they couldn’t paint it!”

Kitagawa Yusuke listened to Ren Amamiya's explanation, his eyes widened from halfway through, and he listened to all the words while holding his breath, and then he suddenly realized and took a long breath.

"So it is!...So it is!"

Kitagawa Yusuke grabbed Ren Amamiya Ren's shoulders with both hands, and said with an excited smile, "Ren! You are indeed a gift from the God of Inspiration!"

"Uh...not that exaggerated, you are a fan of the authorities..."

"That's right! I thought of it!" Kitagawa Yusuke said loudly, suddenly had an idea, and let go of Amamiya Ren. "I figured it out! I know what I want to draw!"

Looking at it like this, he probably can't listen to anything now.

Then Ren Amamiya watched as Yusuke Kitagawa hurriedly found a palette, and took out a paintbrush from somewhere on her body like magic, as if she couldn't wait to start painting immediately.

And then... Yu Gonglian was put aside.

Although Kitagawa Yusuke's current painting is a portrait of Amamiya Ren, I have said it many times... Impressionism!In fact, only the first one is enough to draw materials from reality, and the rest of the play space is all made up by [impression].

Therefore, Kitagawa Yusuke perfected the process behind this painting, and there is no need for Amamiya Ren to continue to be a model.

It was so suddenly put aside, but correspondingly, she was free from being a model and stood in a daze for a long time. I don't know whether to be helpless or happy.

Kitagawa Yusuke, who has entered the state of creation, does not hear anything outside the window, and probably has nothing in his eyes except colors and brushes.

Of course, as long as you are still human, it is very easy to attract his attention if you use any means.

But Yu Gonglian is not so dizzy, she wants to do some untimely stupid things to break someone's state of inspiration.
