In the quiet courtyard,
Gu Weijing solidified a small candle with wax oil on top of the drawing board, and under the trembling candlelight, he used his pen to fly.
This new sketch is done very smoothly.
He hardly needs to spend any time thinking about using a pen, nor does he need to expend any energy on composition. Even the photos on his mobile phone only require an occasional glance up.
Little girl Jasmine’s happy expression bloomed so quietly in Gu Weijing’s heart.
Almost naturally, after he finished the last line on the skirt, the relevant data of the painting appeared in front of him.
The title of the work is The Girl in a Blue Dress.

Emotions and Feelings
This is Gu Wei This is the first time I have been so involved in painting a painting.
It didn’t take long, but there was already a layer of light sweat on my nose.
Your current task has been completed, please claim your reward. As his painting was completed, the system's beep sounded at the right time.
Gu Weijing opened the virtual panel and clicked to claim the reward.
The ultimate reward of the chain mission is a random legendary skill
The extraction of legendary skills is different from any previous reward.
The system did not issue rewards directly, but instead displayed a silver book on the virtual panel.
The pages of the book move automatically without wind,
Each page is engraved with attractive rewards, and then turned over in the next moment, filled with new content.
After just a few fleeting glances, Gu Weijing's breathing became rapid.
The painting method of Eighty-seven Immortals by Wu Daozi of Tang Dynasty is legendary, the pointillism technique of French pointillist master Georges Seurat is legendary, and the ghost fragments of Henri Rousseau's "Naïve School" are legendary
p>The names that appear in the reward column are all great artists who shocked the world, and are even cultural symbols of a certain country.
The pages of the book have been turning rapidly, like a silent invitation.
Gu Weijing stretched out his hand and put it on the skill book.
The page automatically stopped after his hand touched it, and a silver page fell from it.
Miscellaneous Baiyi Tree Legend Level
The book page turned into a silver skill tree on the system panel.
Miscellaneous Baiyi Tree painters need to master various legendary daily painting skills. Every 1000 free experience points can water the small tree once. Each time you water the Baiyi Tree, there is a probability that the small tree will grow new ones. branch
Gu Weijing's eyes fell on the Baiyi tree.
There is currently only one branch and leaf on the sapling, which looks quite bare and pitiful.
Gu Weijing saw a text description on the branch and leaf. This time there was no name of a certain master, but an independent painting method appeared.
Drawing knife paintingMethod
Special Effects You will master the art of painting with a knife.
Introduction to painting techniques: The oil painting knife has completely different expressive power and strokes than the brush. It is always a good helper for painters when expressing thick and layered light and shadow.
Note that light and strong fragrance is always suitable for “wiping on”.
"Hua Knife Painting"
A lot of knowledge about Hua Knife Painting quickly flooded into Gu Weijing's mind.
Although the drawing knife is called a knife, it is actually more like a small shovel.
The palette knife is used to mix paint, and the oil painting knife is used to clean and remove excess colors on the screen, acting like an eraser.
However,
Under certain conditions that deal with special color relationships, the painting knife can also be used to apply paint for painting.
The painting knife can squeeze the paint onto the painting, creating a series of smooth volumes, and forming unique ridge-like or linear curves where the painting knife touches, intersects, and ends. edge.
The painting knife's ability to spread and stack oil paint cannot be compared to a soft paintbrush.
This is a very versatile and expressive way of painting,
open and close.
In general schools, there is basically no emphasis on teaching how to draw a knife.
It would be considered good if an art student in middle school can use a drawing knife as an oil painting eraser. If it can bring out some of the characteristics of the oil painting knife in the painting style, it will definitely be considered excellent.
Even if you have never heard of knife painting, it is normal.
A hard metal painting knife is far more difficult to control than a light oil painting brush. Its advantages are the ability to shape and enrich colors, and the knife touch is steady and the shape is clear.
The disadvantage is that it is difficult to control and accurately depict.
Let alone art students, there are only a few artists in the entire world art circle who are proficient in knife painting.
Even if you are willing to make knife painting independent of traditional oil painting and become a small category such as inkjet painting and chalk painting, it is not impossible.
Compared to the old-school Hong Kong martial arts and kung fu movies, the artists who specialize in knife painting are a bit like the masters of unpopular weapons such as the judge pen and the nine-section whip.
There are basically no top artists, but the performance of the pictures is all unique.
However, even if it is a bit niche, Gu Weijing does not dislike this skill.
For painters, there are no popular or unpopular skills, only common and uncommon skills.
The oil painting knife is the most commonly used tool when painting oil paintings, second only to the brush.
After Gu Weijing realized it carefully, he opened his eyes.
It is indeed a legendary skill, and the experience it brings is so rich and real.
The thin and narrow long blade is suitable for drawing out long and thin colors; the small pear-shaped drawing knife is paired with a soft forged steel blade to draw out colors that are elastic and rippled. like aA thick layer of cream with a straight edge and paint mixed with thick sawdust can create a beautiful flaky texture
Countless painting ideas appeared in Gu Weijing's mind, and he even thought for a moment that he My understanding of the oil painting knife is better than that of having held a paintbrush for more than ten years.
Even without the blessing of a well-known master, this skill is not as time-limited as Menzel's painting experience. It is more like a knowledge card that is instilled in one's mind.
Even if you don’t specifically use the drawing knife to paint alone, it is still good to use it as an auxiliary tool for occasionally handling special colors when painting.
Gu Weijing wanted to simply try out the effect of this skill.
He looked up at the moon looming among the clouds in the sky.
I have an idea in my mind.
Gu Weijing took a painting knife, white paint, and a small stretched dark canvas.
He just touched the canvas with a drawing knife.
There is an extra spot on the dark painting that seems to be printed with a silver dollar dipped in paint. It is hard to figure out, hazy and moist,
just like the moonlight in the sky.
"Xiao Gu, please wait a moment."
Just when Gu Weijing packed his things, stored his painting tools, and was about to book a ride home on his mobile phone, the concierge Stopped him.
"Uncle Alai, are you okay?"
Gu Weijing turned around and looked.
That was the caretaker of the orphanage, a lame Burmese named Alai.
When others see Alai for the first time, it is easy to think of Quasimodo, the famous bell ringer in Notre Dame de Paris.
Myanmar is jokingly called the country of dwarfs by some Europeans. The average height of local men here is not very high, only about 1.6 meters. Even many local girls are taller than the men. .
But Uncle Alai is very tall,
nearly 1.9 meters tall, with thick limbs and dark skin, quite like a little giant.
To be honest, the janitor's facial features are not ugly, but he has been injured on his face. The skin on one side has scars left by high temperature burns. His left foot is also slightly disabled, and a little finger is missing from his left hand. , the ring finger is still missing.
These scars must not be left in normal life.
I heard that he was once an officer in the Myanmar Army, and some said he was an anti-narcotics policeman in Yangon. It is said that he was even published in the newspaper as a national hero.
Unfortunately, he was kicked out of the military in disgrace.
Some people say that he was set up by drug traffickers to seek revenge, while others say that he was involved in a factional struggle between warlords and high-level government officials. It seems that to this day, there are still some old comrades in the army who are complaining about his experience.
In Myanmar, the society is in turmoil and the political undercurrent is turbulent. Anything can happen.
Considering that the address of Good Luck Orphanage was given to me by an officer from the VIP Protection Team, this statement is probably somewhat credible.Spend.
However, Gu Weijing had no intention of exploring his past.
The various aspects of life in the welfare home.
As Gu Weijing’s visits to this Lucky Orphanage increased, he discovered that this place is really a melting pot of society. Whether it is the children or volunteers here, many people have own story.
There are gay couples who come to adopt orphans, young students from the sociology department at Yangon University, an old aunt whose son died in a nearby factory accident, and some who work as escort girls on weekdays but feel uneasy. She is a beautiful sister who also has believers who believe in doing good deeds every day
Compared with these people, Uncle Alai’s hint of recklessness as a down-and-out hero is not very eye-catching.
Moreover, after contacting the other party, Gu Weijing discovered that the janitor Alai was not as fierce on the inside as he looked on the outside. Instead, he was a very gentle middle-aged man, but a little taciturn.
I rarely hear him speak on weekdays, and I don’t know what happened when he suddenly called me.
"Thank you for what happened today. I have rarely seen her so happy."
"Jasmine"
Gu Weijing was stunned for a moment. , and then realized what Uncle Alai said.
“My sister.”
“Jasmine is an orphan, right?”
Theoretically, all the children in the Good Luck Orphanage are orphans, and there shouldn’t be any A living elder or guardian.
"My sister."
Alai emphasized his tone.
Gu Weijing stopped talking, just thinking that every family has a sutra that is difficult to recite.
"It's okay. Jasmine is no different from a normal child. I also gained a lot from playing with her today."
Gu Weijing raised the hand in his hand Drawing.
"It's different." Uncle Alai shook his head and repeated seriously, "It's different."
"I heard that you have been looking for information about this orphanage. Historical information"
Gu Weijing nodded.
He and Katsuko Sakai have already started writing their thesis.
The point of the article itself is not complicated. The core content can be summarized in one sentence: "We have discovered an unknown early Impressionist female painter who is good at dark art styles."
But the paper obviously cannot be written like this.
The experienced Professor Sakai spent several days thinking and packaging, and also studied the styles and directions preferred by several reviewers on Asian art, before formulating the current title of the paper.
thefeaeartistscarofottenbyti:theorentaandvisuadinsionofdarktoneiressionistorks The color entanglement and visual dimension of the deep-tone impressionist works of Carroll, a female painter forgotten by time
It is basically the same thing as the previous vernacular saying.
But DabaiAs for style, let alone aiming at top journals like Asian Art, it would be very difficult to publish a top-notch paper.
The same content, after being packaged by Professor Sakai, suddenly seemed higher and higher, making readers feel unclear and powerful.
This is the art of English stereotypes.
The writing outline of the paper is mainly divided into two major aspects.
The first part determines the identity and creation time of Carroll, the owner of this painting.
The second part is based on the old church on a thunderstorm day, and compares and summarizes the processing and application of light and color when representative Impressionist painters such as Monet and Degas used dark pigments in history.
In fact, the last part is not difficult.
With Professor Sakai’s guidance, even a simple summary of the style of existing Impressionist works can be written into a colorful review. Essays,
But this kind of essays are relatively unreliable.
As long as they are professors who know a lot about art, anyone can write them, and they can write whatever they want.
So these contents can only be used as flesh and blood to fill the skeleton, so that the paper does not look thin.
The real selling point should be the mysterious female painter Carol and the old church in the thunderstorm.
Gu Weijing has been collecting information about Carroll during this period.
There were too many foreigners in Myanmar in the 19th century, and there were no official passport records or anything like that, so it was difficult to find clues.
His focus was on the building of Good Luck Orphanage.
Gu Weijing has almost confirmed that the church in the old church in the thunderstorm is the Good Luck Orphanage.
He asked the abbess to find old photos of howitzers destroying the statue of Our Lady in the church during the Anglo-Burmese War.
The photo was taken in 1890,
So it is basically certain that this painting was created before 1890.
But more powerful evidence cannot be found.
This painting was painted in 1890, 1880, or 1875. Basically, every time you push forward ten years, or even five years forward, the value of the paper is different.
Gu Weijing is not a god either. Finding this precious painting was largely due to luck. Apart from old photos, he couldn't find any more valuable information.
Hearing Uncle Alai mention this matter at this time,
Gu Weijing was a little confused.
"Is there anything you want to tell me?"
"I remember that there were some documents preserved in oil paper in the iron cabinet with the church logo in the underground storage room. The dean didn't understand English, I didn’t pay attention. I looked through it in the afternoon, it should be the church-related sermon logs and charity donation records, and I thought it might be useful to you, and I found it while playing with Jasmine.
Uncle Alai took it out of the drawer of the concierge’s cabingot a wooden box.
Gu Weijing took it and took a look, and his spirits suddenly lifted.
He recognized what it was
This was a sermon log left by a church
The church in the West is like a small government.
For a long time, it did serve as a government. The church has its own legal system and functional departments, and naturally things like work reports are indispensable.
The archives left by missionaries have always been good historical materials.
If the female painter Carroll had been a believer in the parish here, or had donated money to this orphanage, then she would probably have left her name.
"Thank you so much" Gu Weijing didn't know what to say.
"No need to thank me, just play with Jasmine more when you have time, she likes you very much."
Uncle Alai waved his hand, not taking away a single cloud. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
