Reborn as a great painter, with a system, you can be willful

Hearing the system prompt, Jiang Zhe looked up at Sister Liao.

Sister Liao was really tired, or maybe she was enjoying the feeling of being a model, so she closed her eyes and let Jiang Zhe paint.

Jiang Zhe was very curious why the system suddenly gave him a prompt at this time.

Seeing that Sister Liao did not respond, he boldly clicked on the system page.

New prompt content appeared on the page.

The first sentence made Jiang Zhe's eyes widen.

Congratulations! The portrait sketch you created has reached the level of a masterpiece that will be passed down through the ages.

Jiang Zhe glanced at the work at hand.

This is the only painting I have completed today, which means that the system has rated this painting as a masterpiece. Check the system prompt to confirm that it is correct.

Turn your eyes back to the work. The first impression is, isn’t it a bit crude?
This casually drawn work can only be called a draft.

Can't believe it.

I have tried my best to create works, and most of them are praised as masterpieces. Now, I just draw a picture casually, and it turns out to be a masterpiece that will be passed down from generation to generation?!
Calm down and analyze carefully, this painting is not without problems, but if it can be considered as practice, it is not bad.

Jiang Zhe carefully read the detailed explanation of the system, hoping to solve his doubts.

In the process of creating this work, you did not deliberately pursue perfection. The shaping of the character image was completely out of your inner love, and you inadvertently integrated the technique and emotion. There is no trace of carving, which truly expresses your understanding and thoughts.

Although the work is short, it has traces of breakthrough in aesthetics and artistry. Therefore, the system gives the evaluation of the handed-down work, and hopes that you will continue to work hard.

Please title your work.

Jiang Zhe had no good ideas for the moment.

This painting depicts Sister Liao, and she doesn't want anyone to see it. Many years later, when all of us are gone, this painting might get circulated, and by then I won't be able to control it.

Even so, Jiang Zhe didn't want anyone to know about this past. Since he didn't want anyone to know, he simply gave it a confusing name.

Unknown woman.

Jiang Zhe entered these four words into the system.

The system displays that the naming is successful.

This work, The Unknown Woman, and another work of the same name, have left many researchers with research topics and jobs.

When Jiang Zhe saw that there was no reward, he pondered over this tip again and again, while examining his own work.

The paper was a regular A4 paper, depicting the image of Sister Liao lying on her side on the bed.

Because we are observing from the back of the person, we can only vaguely see Sister Liao's profile.

If you can't see her beauty, your attention will be attracted by the character design.

The main modeling technique of this painting is smooth and natural lines, with little rendering.

If we have to find some advantages, it would be that almost all the ink and paper are used to express the changes and grace of the characters' body shapes, while many details are not expressed.

According to my previous standards, I might have continued to work on it, but this sudden stop in my creative state made the system rate it as a masterpiece of the highest level.

Jiang Zhe had to reflect on his previous evaluation criteria or painting procedures and further improve them.

While comparing the system's evaluation, he looked for problems in the paintings, hoping to find a breakthrough.

From today's perspective, are some of the details that are not described unimportant, or do they need to be concise and expressive to achieve a state where the idea is there but the pen cannot?

Can places without expression or with simplified expression arouse people's thinking?
In this painting, the power of the lines and the beauty of the overall shape are somewhat different from the previous ones. What kind of beauty is this difference?
Once you start thinking about these questions, there seem to be endless answers, which of course also include errors.

Trial and error, find answers, continue to practice, and repeat this process over and over again. It's very interesting and once you get into it, it's hard to get out.

When Jiang Zhe was looking at his work in deep thought, he heard Sister Liao's voice.

"Jiang Zhe, why are you in a daze? Is there something wrong?" Jiang Zhe came back to his senses from his thoughts and saw Sister Liao turned in another direction and was looking at him.

"Nothing, I just made a quick sketch. I'm trying to figure out if there's anything I can improve on."

Sister Liao narrowed her eyes and said softly, "Let me see."

Jiang Zhe showed his work to Sister Liao.

Sister Liao took a look and said, "I am the only one who can recognize this painting. It is a bit mysterious. It makes people wonder who is in the painting? Is it too simple?"

Jiang Zhe was stunned for a moment and thought of a possibility.

After a moment of silence, he said, "You can think of these questions just by looking at it. This means that this painting can at least make people think."

“What kind of thinking is this?”

Jiang Zhe said, "As for this painting, I'm going to take it back and study it again to see if there's anything I can improve on it."

Sister Liao closed her eyes again: "You have the final say on your painting."

Jiang Zhe carefully put the painting into his bag, determined to preserve this work well.

Then he leaned against the head of the bed, close to Sister Liao.

Sister Liao put her face close to Jiang Zhe.

"I came back for another thing. Someone from the Provincial Artists Association contacted me and heard that you were going to hold a solo exhibition in the capital and Binhai."

Jiang Zhe said: "Yes, it is being prepared."

"They are also going to hold an event there, and asked if you could hold one in the provincial capital as well."

Jiang Zhe said: "In the past, if I wanted to hold an exhibition or even participate in one, I had to find connections and ways. Why are you letting me do it now?"

"You can't feel it yourself. In their eyes, you held exhibitions in the capital and Binhai, but not in the provincial capital. Aren't you neglecting them?"

Jiang Zhe asked, "What's your opinion?"

Sister Liao said: "You can use these works to hold an exhibition in Binhai, and then hold another one in the provincial capital. In the future, you will have to deal with them again.

If you find it troublesome, let Wang Zhen do it. She knows what to do. "

Jiang Zhe didn't hesitate: "I'll listen to you."

He thought of another thing: "Why did they ask you to tell them?"

Sister Liao said: “I have spoken for you before, so many people think that I am your main supporter. They come to me directly because they are afraid that you will refuse.

You don't think I'm causing you trouble, do you? "

"Not only did you not cause me any trouble, but you brought me good luck." Jiang Zhe was talking about the work, but Sister Liao was thinking about something else.

"Don't talk nonsense."

Jiang Zhe changed his posture and said, "I'm not talking nonsense. Today, I'm going to give you another reward."

Sister Liao felt his weight and quickly declined...

……

After meeting Sister Liao, Jiang Zhe immediately contacted Wang Zhen.

When Wang Zhen heard about the request of the Provincial Artists Association, he said that there was no problem. He had held a solo exhibition in Binhai and could immediately ship the works to the provincial capital. The gallery's channels were already very mature.

Before we knew it, it was the end of the year, and Jiang Zhe's personal exhibition was held at the Art Museum of Binhai Academy of Arts.
