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

Professor Qin's office.

After listening to Professor Qin's explanation, some students raised some questions. "Tuymans's paintings are too flat. Will such an effect appear in our works?"

“His colors are almost all desaturated.”

Professor Qin was happy to hear these questions. He hoped that students would have their own thoughts.

“His paintings are close to the hazy metaphors of symbolism. This very plain picture contains quiet thoughts.

In my opinion, Tuymans’ paintings are both rational and emotional, and they can easily bring the audience into the atmosphere he created and resonate with it.

Painting allows readers to gain perception through viewing, so I think Tuymans' success mainly lies in the emotions released by his painting language. The content he depicts is just a medium.

You already have the ability to tell realistic stories, but painting also requires virtual capabilities, so I let you look at these works in the hope that you can choose effective or efficient ways of expression. In addition to using painting to tell stories, you can also express them meaningfully.

When we look at a famous artist’s painting, sometimes we don’t need to refer to literature to understand what he painted. We feel the emotions conveyed by the painting…”

Because Jiang Zhe had a system and previous successful cases, he was able to listen to Professor Qin's opinions objectively.

Professor Qin's interpretation made other students think of many questions.

Professor Qin saw the reactions of several students and continued, “The value of an excellent painter lies in creating visual enjoyment and expanding the audience’s cognition in new ways.

By evaluating these painters, we can learn from them. Don't appreciate visual art as literature.

The appreciation of paintings is to enable us to feel the shapes and colors, and thus touch our hearts.

You need to develop your own independent opinions and value judgments through learning.”

He paused for a moment and continued, “Both the graduation project and the thesis have very high requirements.

Maybe you have also heard that I have guided some students in their graduation projects, and I went through repeated reviews and adjustments from the proposal to the creation.

Don’t feel embarrassed. Treat the process of creation and writing as a process of sorting out knowledge and building a knowledge system. ”

After listening to Professor Qin's story, Jiang Zhe asked if he could borrow some historical information about the city from the school.

Just now, he had some new ideas.

After Professor Qin asked Jiang Zhe about his specific requirements, he said, "If you want to borrow important materials from the school library, you can apply. If you want to borrow materials from municipal archives or cultural institutions, in addition to a certificate from the school, more procedures are required.

However, you can apply to the Artists Association first. Tell them your creative ideas clearly, and then they will help you coordinate? "

After describing the specific process, he jokingly said, "When you do these things, you will find that some specific identities will play an unexpected role."

Jiang Zhe did not yet understand the true meaning of this sentence.

The other students had no specific ideas for their creation and did not pay attention to Jiang Zhe's requirements.

The exchange ended and several people said goodbye and left.

Several people planned to go back to the class studio first, pack up their painting supplies, and then go home.

In the next semester, I rarely have the opportunity to study in the studio.

Jiang Zhe and his friends returned to the studio and saw Gao and many other classmates who were also packing up.

The students talked while packing up, reminiscing about the time they spent here and talking about their plans for the holidays.

Since they started selling their paintings, Mou Xing and Fu Min have rented a house near the school. Some students also do not live in the dormitory as long as they have enough money.

The house they rented served as both a studio and a bedroom.

Those who rent a house will complete their creations in their own rooms, and only a small number of students will stay in the class studio to complete their graduation works.

Jiang Zhe also plans to complete his graduation work in his own studio.

The first student to pack up his tools said goodbye to his classmates and planned to go home at noon.

Several other classmates plan to take a train or long-distance bus back to their hometowns to celebrate the New Year around lunch time.

When Fu Min heard that several classmates were planning to go to the train station together, she said, "Can you guys go to the train station together? I want to see you off."

A classmate smiled and said, "We've been studying together for three and a half years, and you didn't send us off. Why do you want to send me off now?"

Fu Min said: "This is the last winter break during college. When we graduate, everyone will go their separate ways. It's hard to say whether we will have the chance to say goodbye."

After listening to Fu Min's statement, many people felt the same way.

Several local classmates also plan to go and send it off.

So, several students who were preparing to go to the train station agreed to set off together.

Fu Min said to Jiang Zhe, "Jiang Zhe, do you want to go and see off your classmates?"

Jiang Zhe nodded, then asked, "I'm willing to go, but do you just want to say goodbye?"

Fu Min whispered, "After sending a few classmates away, we can sketch at the train station.

Now, people who work or study away from home have started to return home. The train station must be very busy and full of material. "

Jiang Zhe thought this was a good suggestion.

Connecting or obtaining materials from information feels different from getting materials directly from life.

He and many other painters insist on using traditional sketching methods for daily practice.

Everyone agreed on a meeting time and then made their own preparations.

Jiang Zhe drove Chen Yan home, then went back to the studio to put down his tools, and finally returned to school.

I parked my car at the school gate and saw several classmates already waiting there.

He got off the car and asked several classmates to get on.

Jiang Zhe's car couldn't accommodate so many people, so several classmates took taxis to the train station.

Mou Xing sat in the passenger seat, while Fu Min and two classmates who were going to take the train sat in the back seat.

The car started and several classmates began chatting.

These students suffered a lot every time they went home for the New Year. Despite this, they still looked forward to going home.

Jiang Zhe remembered that in his previous life, when he was studying in another city, he would take the train home to celebrate the New Year every winter vacation.

Fortunately, that unpleasant experience is gone forever.

There is also security check at the entrance to the train station.

Several people helped the students who were going home to carry the gifts and came to the waiting hall.

Now is not the busiest time of the Spring Festival travel rush. Although there are many people, it is not particularly crowded yet.

Jiang Zhe and his friends found a place to sit down.

A classmate first thanked Jiang Zhe and the others, and then said, "We are waiting for the ticket check, you don't have to wait here, go home quickly."

Jiang Zhe suggested: "Let's take a group photo here."

"Okay." After everyone took a group photo, Fu Min had to say another purpose: "After sending you to the car, we plan to draw some sketches here."

Several students who were preparing to take the train laughed.

"I was wondering why you suddenly suggested sending us off.

"Is this the main purpose of coming here to sketch?"

Fu Min smiled and explained: "Drawing the sketch is just a side job, the main purpose is to send you off."

One classmate said: "There is still some time before the ticket inspection, so let's draw a few too."

"Yes, let's draw together." Everyone took out their tools and started sketching.

The waiting room was noisy, but with the company of classmates, several of them quickly became fully focused.

Most of the passengers in the waiting hall are migrant workers who are going back home or on business trips. Some of these passengers are resting, while others are chatting, eating, or playing poker with their fellow villagers and friends.

The passengers waiting for ticket checking are sitting in the seats in the waiting hall. At first glance, they seem to be similar, but if you look closely, you will find many interesting details.

For those who like painting, there are countless materials to be mined in such scenes. People of different ages and professions, warm smiles or sad faces, all tell stories.

To draw a sketch, you need to observe and capture a moment of emotion or a special image. You must grasp the most important features of the shape and then present it on the drawing paper.

These techniques are not difficult for students who persist in painting.

The announcement for ticket checking was made.

One classmate put away his painting supplies, put his luggage on his back and saluted: "Everyone, I'm getting on the bus now. See you next year."

Jiang Zhe and his friends also stopped sketching.

Before we knew it, one after another, our classmates left by bus.

They were escorted all the way to the platform.

I watched my classmates get on the train and then watched it go away.

Jiang Zhe silently recorded the scene he saw on the platform. They did not return to the waiting hall until the staff came over to urge them.

Before they left the train station, they had collected a lot of materials.

Jiang Zhe drove and took Mou Xing and Fu Min home.

"Jiang Zhe, let's find a chance to get together during the New Year," Fu Min suggested.

Jiang Zhe said, "Sure. There will be a group party at the Artists Association."

"There are too many people there, and it's hard to speak freely. The party I'm talking about is a party for just a few of us."

Several people finally decided to meet at Jiang Zhe's villa studio.

After saying goodbye to Fu Min and Mou Xing, Jiang Zhe felt that he had not had enough fun sketching at the train station today, so on the way home, every time he saw some interesting scenes, he would stop the car and draw some images.

Sunset, old streets, and children playing freely after the holidays...

Jiang Zhe uses simple lines to outline the fleeting beauty. There is no need for complex portrayal, nor does he have to worry about composition and form. He can express his inner feelings freely.

After returning to the villa, Jiang Zhe quickly ate dinner and took out today's sketches from his backpack.

I look through the sketches and recall every detail of these scenes, and occasionally pick up the paintbrush to add or delete.

Looking at these works, the urge to create can no longer be suppressed.

He found some larger pieces of drawing paper, selected materials from his sketches, and tried to create.

Start with a charcoal draft, gradually enrich it, turn it into a draft with added colored powder, and then change to a watercolor or gouache draft.

Drafts were posted on the wall or thrown into the trash can.

In the next few days, Jiang Zhe kept trying to create new drafts, and then selected suitable content and improved them.

A week later, Jiang Zhe had just finished a watercolor painting of a train station waiting room when he heard the system prompt.

He clicked on the system and saw the prompt content.

The work you just completed depicts the scene of seeing off your classmates at the station.

In addition to depicting some young and promising students, the works also depict many ordinary travelers.

In the picture, there are densely packed passengers in front of the ticket gate; staff members who are moving gift items; vendors pushing carts and hawking their wares, as well as scenes and various objects. Each image vividly shows a different state of life.

The indoor lighting echoes the environment, appearing strong and eye-catching.

Every traveler carries the hope of their family, and they are about to set off on a journey to their destination. The artistic level of this work has reached the level of being handed down from generation to generation.

When Jiang Zhe saw the first half of the prompt, he was both delighted and confused.

It was a pleasant surprise to create a work of creation level, but this painting is a watercolor painting, and the size is not large. I created several works of similar subjects, including oil paintings and watercolors, but unfortunately the system evaluated them as ordinary or fine products.

He continued to look at the prompts given by the system, hoping to find the reason.

The salute in the work can represent harvest and is also the bond between people and journey.

A pleasant journey brings people of different professions and ages together for a short period of time.

The interaction between people in the same space shows the complexity of life.

In real life, journeys can be given more symbolic meanings.

The differences in images in the picture reflect the complex and changing relationship between man and nature.

People compete and rely on their companions, because of some temporary attributes, they coexist harmoniously for a short time. Of course, there are also conflicts and games in the picture.

You show the subtle feeling of parting by depicting every detail of people's journey.

In this work, you use a combination of romanticism and surrealism to create an atmosphere of modern life through extremely calm and rational depictions of characters, expressions, scenes, objects, etc. The complexity on the surface of the work underscores deep and passionate emotions.

You interweave romantic sensibility with surrealist imagination to create a transcendental world independent of reality and construct poetic and humanistic situations.

You use a simple and powerful composition, dividing the picture with the straight lines of the long rows of seats in the parking hall. This extremely simplified composition method highlights the spaciousness of the space and the crowdedness of many passengers, disorder and order, which creates a strong contrast and visual tension.

The division between the visible and invisible seems to imply the order of life.

This minimalist composition and the way of expression that is not limited to the details present a romantic visual experience and a surrealist spiritual expression.

Through your creative work, you have improved your understanding of watercolor painting and made your techniques more diverse.

After comprehensive consideration, the system believes that this work has reached the level of being handed down from generation to generation.

Please title your work.

Seeing the system's evaluation, Jiang Zhe felt a little embarrassed.

Many of the techniques were used unintentionally, and some of the comments were things I had not thought of at the time.

Based on the system evaluation, he reviewed the process of creating this painting, recalled the emotions of seeing off his classmates at the train station, and finally named the work "Embark on a Journey". (End of this chapter)
