As Boss Chen helped him get the approval, the money was transferred to the orphanage's account, and the modernization construction was put on the agenda.
Gu Weijing had received a reminder that the system experience points had arrived a few days ago.
With nearly 3,000 free experience points, he was filled with the satisfaction of becoming rich from a poor man.
He is not too anxious to point out the experience points during this period.
First of all, Gu Weijing still needs to save some experience points to use the calligraphy and painting appraisal technique.
Secondly, he actually hasn’t figured out how to distribute the experience points yet.
More than three thousand free experience points are a lot less than a lot, so if you really plan it casually, there won’t be much left.
In the virtual panel, among the several feasible options, the first one that was considered to be eliminated was to water the miscellaneous art trees.
This multi-art tree that can produce miscellaneous painting skills is as precious as the mythical wealth tree that can drop gold and silver treasures.
For art students, "legendary" painting skills may be more valuable than real money.
Unfortunately, it is also a bottomless pit that swallows up experience.
Watering once costs thousands of experience points, and it only has a "probability" to grow new branches.
The 3,000 experience points he finally accumulated were gone after three waterings. The harvest was uncertain, and it was very likely that the water would be in vain.
Gu Weijing cannot afford to play with this sapling yet.
All that remains is the painting panel.
Among the five major categories of painting, the three that Gu Weijing needs to use most now are Chinese painting, sketching, and oil painting.
His Chinese painting is relatively weak, sketching is the foundation that is versatile in the field of painting and other types of painting, and oil painting techniques are nourished by the elementary treasure chest, and the experience bar of the first level of the profession has been mostly filled.
If you focus on oil painting, you should be able to break through to the second level of the profession directly.
Precisely because the choices looked so good, Gu Weijing was a little hesitant.
"What's wrong?"
Sakai Katsuko felt the pause of the people around her, turned her head, moved her wrist a little, and asked with a chuckle, "Are you feeling tired?"
p>
The girl stretched slightly.
In order to find a suitable angle to observe the orphanage from the window, and the space in the gatehouse was limited, they had to stand next to each other when copying.
A lot of time has passed since I started copying.
Sakai Katsuko went to the beach to swim this morning, and accompanied Mrs. Sakai shopping for jade at noon and evening. But until now, she is in good spirits and does not feel tired at all.
Tacit understanding, warmth, joy, and a little sweetness,
Professor Kazunari Sakai has beautiful real estate and lights in Nagoya, Tokyo, Monaco and Provence in the south of France. bright professionalstudio.
In the large studios that Shengzi was accustomed to, the lighting systems purchased to simulate various natural lights were worth tens of thousands of dollars.
But she felt that this simple hut with only two gas lamps for lighting was not to her liking.
This is simply the happiest painting process that Sakai Katsuko has ever experienced. She almost wishes that this painting would be larger, so that time could freeze at this moment and never end.
"Light" Gu Weijing said softly, "light is not spiritual enough."
"You are referring to the candlelight."
Sakai Katsuko deserves it She is a painting genius, and her copying speed is slightly faster than that of Gu Weijing, who has made rapid progress with the help of the system during this period.
Gu Weijing has just finished painting the background color and distant sky on the canvas, and she has already painted the main details of the church.
After thinking for a moment, she understood the meaning of Gu Weijing's words.
She inserted the brush into the medium water bottle for cleaning, took the palette from Gu Weijing's hand, raised it to her forehead and looked at the sky outside through the smooth plastic plate. Look at the canvas in front of you again.
"It's actually quite good."
Sakai Katsuko turned the flame of the gas lamp to the brightest, moved a little in front of herself, and compared Gu Wei in the firelight. and my own paints.
As emergency lighting under no conditions,
Compared with cold light flashlights or incandescent lamps that can easily reach thousands of lumens of brightness, gas lamps have weaker lighting capabilities, but their color temperature is biased. Warmth, more suitable for daily natural light.
So the look and feel of the canvas under a gas lamp is similar to that under sunlight, and the painted picture is not prone to color cast.
"Let me help you take a look, okay?" Sakai Katsuko tilted her head.
After obtaining Gu Weijing’s consent, she took her oil painting knife and dipped some pearl white on the palette, smeared it on the palette for a while, and then used a small clean brush to scratch it on the drawing board. Scratch, and finally shook his head.
"If I configure it, the color will be brighter. Maybe more linseed oil is added to the diluent, but there is no essential difference. In fact, the adjustment is very accurate."
Miss Katsuko shook her head helplessly.
"Mere accuracy is not enough." Gu Weijing also shook his head.
"I understand, I understand what Gu Jun means very well, but candlelight itself is difficult to draw, and stained glass is even more difficult to draw. The two combined together form a continuous colored light that is too difficult to grasp. It’s difficult, I don’t blame you, it’s not just a matter of grasping the paint,” Sakai Katsuko said.
She has slightly more experience in oil painting than Gu Weijing. Even if her grasp of light is more accurate, she still does not have the magic power to turn stone into gold.
Stained glass was once known as the art of the kingdom of God in the Middle Ages because it was so changeable and unpredictable.
In the 12th century, the French king decided to build the famous Saint-Denis CathedralThe church was used as a place of worship and shrines. The dean Sure at the time decided to fill the interior of the building with the glory of heaven to enhance the spiritual connection between individuals and gods, so that mortals walking inside the building would feel like walking in the presence of God. in the country.
For the first time in history,
large areas of stained glass were used in a building, and the Cathedral of Saint-Denis became a landmark masterpiece in the history of architecture, which is still there today. It is synonymous with the gorgeous and complex French architecture.
As a medium that separates human beings from the divine realm of heaven,
Even experienced painters must think twice before writing on stained glass windows.
It is not directly manufactured from a large piece of glass as many people think, but during production, two types of metal salts, manganese and cobalt, are added to the furnace. The glass will slowly Slowly deforms, changes the light transmittance, and finally forms small translucent glasses of different colors.
The craftsmen then cut these small glasses into hundreds or thousands of glass blocks the size of knuckles or the size of a baby's palm as needed, and then dip them together with molten lead to splice them into patterns on the window lattice.
There is even a category of specialized stained glass painters. Georges Rouault, a great oil painter in the 19th century who was famous for his ethereal brushwork, started out as an apprentice in glass painting.
Katsuko Sakai looked at the window of the old church of the orphanage not far away, and gently smoothed the hair from her forehead to the back of her head, looking a little regretful.
She knew that with their current techniques, it was impossible to accurately express these colors.
No two feathers are the same, and no two stained glass windows are the same.
Hundreds of different pieces of glass are like hundreds of different paint colors.
Because early glass production processes were limited and production batches had different furnaces, each small piece of glass may be unique.
Maybe two pieces of glass next to each other are emerald green or crimson, and they look similar, but the light transmittance will still change extremely slightly.
"In fact, I haven't painted the candlelight here well. It's such a pity for such a scenery." Sakai Katsuko looked at her canvas, not knowing whether she was comforting Gu Weijing or herself.
Candlelight makes painting even more difficult.
Candles are not a stable source of projected light.
Its flames will jump, flicker, become big and small, and be erratic.
In combination with stained glass, the painter wants to accurately copy its color, just like throwing an apple on the side of the road accurately through the speeding car and throwing it in the air by a circus clown. wreath.
Putting such complex and colorful colors on a canvas that is not even half the size of a palm is an impossible task.
She also spent a lot of thought on the color of this part.
The finished effect cannot be said to be bad, but it can only be considered unsatisfactory.
On the canvas in front of her, Katsuko Sakai used extremely thin and fine brushstrokes to bring out the luster of candles bit by bit, making it look ethereal and light enough.
But it lacks flexibility.
It is a painting, but not a flame.
The pursuit of painting is to draw a three-dimensional look and tell a four-dimensional story on a two-dimensional plane.
The paintings of ordinary excellent painters are just paintings, while the paintings of first-class masters strive to create a real space in the eyes of the audience by relying on focus changes and visual proportions.
The works of truly top masters are a movable feast.
In the classical period when entertainment was scarce, the male and female aristocrats of the upper class watched art exhibitions and sculptures, just like today's young people watch movies.
The most popular works are always those with a sense of time. They "move" and tell stories to you.
Looking at the images of the Eighty-seven Immortals is like participating in a gathering of immortals in the misty fairy palace, while looking at the images of Fuchun Mountain Residence is like stepping into the water, sand and green peaks, traveling around the mountains and rivers. Looking at the rising Venus in the sea is like seeing a song and dance of the goddess of beauty, and looking at the mourning Christ is like witnessing a religious enlightenment baptism
Katsuko Sakai looked at the candlelight painted by herself on the canvas, Sighing regretfully.
Her own skills are still stuck in the "copying on paper" part, and the painting is still two-dimensional.
The painting is just similar, and the candlelight is not three-dimensional enough. There is a big gap between it and the real world in front of you, or the agile feeling in the painting of the female painter Carroll.
Not to mention, let the soul of the senior master come to life from her pen.
Sakai Katsuko looked at Gu Weijing beside her, who had been staring at the canvas, motionless, a little worried.
"Gu Jun, don't force yourself so much that you waste your energy." She thought Gu Weijing seemed a little too anxious, so she persuaded him softly.
Painting is a profession where it is easy to get into trouble, and Impressionism is a high-risk area for occupational diseases.
Renoir, Monet, Degas, and Van Gogh all developed symptoms of mental problems when they were trying to figure out the light.
Jumping into rivers, anxiety, and self-mutilation are just the differences in severity of symptoms.
"Hey, don't think about it anymore. We can come and draw together often. You are very young and I am also very young. Maybe in a few months, maybe in a year or two, one day we will be able to draw what we want. The desired effect."
Sakai Katsuko reached out from behind, gently covered Gu Weijing's eyes, and said softly.
It is a pity that with the reconstruction of this Lucky Orphanage, it may be difficult to reproduce such good copying conditions today.
Miss Katsuko is also very sorry about this.
Gu Weijing broke away from Sakai Shengzi's hand.
He looked at the rainy night and the canvas in front of him, as if he had made some determination, and said in a light but firm voice, "I still want to give it a try."
Identified as oil painting technique, allocated 2863Click experience points
He gently allocated his free experience points in the virtual panel and tilted it over the oil painting.
As he clicked OK, the experience slot that was still half empty was filled instantly. The next moment, Gu Weijing heard the system prompt.
Your oil painting skill level has been improved
The current level v5 professional painter level 2 is 110000
After obtaining the system,
Gu Weijing Never before have so many experience points been allocated to myself in a short period of time.
To say that it was an old monk who taught the practice and received enlightenment may be a bit exaggerated. To say that he suddenly became enlightened is almost without water.
It is not like the impact of knowledge cards where a massive amount of information and knowledge pour into the mind.
The canvas is still the canvas, and the brush is still the same brush.
But he felt almost immediately that he had become different.
The increase of nearly three thousand experience points is enough to cause quantitative changes to lead to qualitative changes. An oil painting that takes a lot of time and effort can often only bring dozens of experience points.
Humans and machines cannot spend 24 hours painting oil paintings.
Normally speaking, even if an art student uses acrylic, which is more convenient, the frequency of painting a complete oil painting a week is already quite high. This efficiency may only be achieved during training weeks.
For art students in East Asia, every professional training for the joint entrance examination or certain art competitions almost makes the students peel off their skin and slow down the pace. Maybe there will be underage in Europe. The People's Protection Units came forward with accusations of child abuse.
They also spend a lot of time in sketching and other professional classes. It is not surprising that they can only draw one painting a month.
In other words, without the help of the system, three thousand experience points may be a breakthrough that ordinary people can achieve after several years or even ten years of hard work.
This requires you to have good talent and understanding, and work hard enough.
Most people may never touch the second-level professional level throughout their lives. For example, his grandfather Gu Tongxiang, and the art teachers at Dewei.
Even Ms. Katsuko Sakai is still a little far away from reaching the second level of her career.
How many people in the world are as lucky as Katsuko Sakai to have personal guidance from top-notch teachers since childhood?
What Gu Weijing most noticeably feels is that he uses Improved pen control. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
