very scary!

Looking at Lin Zhibai's gradually taking shape, Ken Watanabe couldn't help but take a breath of cold air——

Ink painting has its own distinct characteristics.

Traditional ink painting does not need to focus on perspective, does not emphasize the changes in light and color of objects in nature, and does not even stick to the appearance of objects.

Just express the author's subjective taste.

In other words, many times, they are deliberately pursuing a feeling of "the beauty lies between similarity and dissimilarity".

But it's also because of this reason.

Many people's ink paintings are extremely flat and cannot reach the state of "complementing form with spirit" at all.

If you say his paintings don't look like it, he will still quibble:

This is what ink painting is like. Only oil painting pays attention to focus perspective and whether the painting looks like...

In fact this is a fallacy.

Only the top masters of ink painting can achieve the goal of conveying the spirit without pursuing resemblance.

For those with average skills, it is best to start with "drawing likeness" and then slowly pursue your own artistic expression.

Lin Zhibai's ink paintings are the kind of paintings that look very similar.

As I just said, only novices pursue realistic paintings. Isn’t this what Lin Zhibai is doing for novices?

of course not.

Because Lin Zhibai's portrait is not a realistic one. To accurately describe his paintings, it should be "both physical and spiritual"!

It not only looks like a painting, but is not completely divorced from reality, it also takes into account artistic expression!

The setting sun, sunset, mountain peaks, rivers, and trees are all dyed with a cold-toned temperament in a slightly desolate and lonely atmosphere.

This kind of control amazed Watanabe Ken!

However, it is not particularly exaggerated for top masters to achieve this. Compared with this, what makes Watanabe Ken even more admired, or what makes him call it terrifying, is actually Lin Zhibai's color matching!

For example, the sunset in the painting.

Lin Zhibai's sunset uses reddish brown as the base, and then the color gradually changes from dark to light, layer by layer, until finally, it turns into a dreamy pink.

"How many colors did he mix?"

In principle, there are countless colors in the world!

But only people who study painting know that there are only dozens of kinds of paints.

You can't paint with pure colors, it's too superficial, unless it's pure black and white ink.

However, even if it is a black and white water mill, it still has to be divided into multiple levels, not to mention that Lin Zhibai chose the color ink style. At first glance, the colors of his works are not particularly rich, and every point seems to be just right.

But Ken Watanabe knows very well:

Lin Zhibai mixed countless colors for this painting!

The reason why these colors cannot be detected immediately with the naked eye is because Lin Zhibai processed them very lightly and wanted to render them.

In order to have a slight, almost negligible effect, he can specially mix a color.

This shows how rigorous Lin Zhibai’s handling is!

And because of the rendering colors he adjusted, there was a little more effect every time. In the end, when added together, it actually created an atmosphere that no one could achieve!

That kind of beauty makes people yearn for it!

Yearning for the scenery written by Lin Zhibai!

The host couldn't help but praise: "Teacher Ken Watanabe is right, it's scary! Teacher Lin Zhibai's color modulation and matching are simply divine and terrifying..."

in his picture.

Extremely colorful!

If someone else were to use so many colors, the resulting painting would definitely be a mess, and it would even give people the impression that the picture is very dirty!

But in Lin Zhibai’s paintings, the colors are perfectly matched and just right!

Similar comparisons can be imagined with designs that deliberately contrast colors.

Only top masters can play with colors that don’t match each other and blend them into a harmonious unity!

wrong.

Ken Watanabe asked himself that he was also a top master. He was a true master of painting, but he was sure that his color mixing was far inferior to Lin Zhibai!

Especially seeing Lin Zhibai use the sexy pink color so freely...

Logically speaking, this color is not very suitable for ink painting, but Lin Zhibai used it boldly, and he said the same thing:

harmonious!

What a harmony!

It seems that everything is how it should be, how Lishan should be!

However, this level was far from enough for Lin Zhibai to stop, or the effect was only 70% of what he expected.

And so the painting continues.

He wanted to give the painting its real charm.

Because of the charm, birds can fly freely, flowers can compete with each other, and such works can become real works of art!

So what is Shen Yun?

This involves understanding at the artistic level.

In other words, this is an expression of Lin Zhibai's emotions and feelings, which is difficult to describe in detail.

Regardless of whether it can be described in words or not, Lin Zhibai's progress has not been delayed, and his works are becoming more and more complete.

Eighty percent!

Ninety percent!

Ten percent!

When the last stroke falls like a silver hook in an iron painting, a waterfall scene deep in Lishan Mountain is formed.

The whole painting seems to be alive!

The splashing waterfalls, leaves blowing in the wind, water drops on the lotus leaves, lotus seeds in the lotus pods, ripples under the mandarin ducks, and the villages at the foot of the mountains all reflect the vitality...

boom!

The host exclaimed: "The finishing touch!"

Watanabe Ken stood up in shock, is this the complete effect?

He couldn't describe his inner feelings at this moment. He only felt that Lin Zhibai's painting today seemed to be a textbook-level performance. His use of color, pursuit of details, and depiction of charm all reached a level of meticulousness!

Let go of the earth, this is called "every branch and leaf is always related to love".

Coupled with the fact that "the writing is like a spirit", the moment this painting was completed, half a blue star was stunned at a glance!

…

Qinzhou.

"Oh My God!"

"This was painted by Bai Di!?"

"How can it be so beautiful!?"

"Although I don't know how to draw, I can still appreciate such awesome paintings!"

"Ah ah ah, can this painting be printed? I really want to hang one at home!"

…

Qizhou.

"This painting is incredible!"

“Today I really understand why painting is art!”

"It's so beautiful! It is no exaggeration to say that this is the most stunning painting I have ever seen in my life!"

"The richest man's painting skills seem a bit fierce!"

"Do you have some misunderstanding about being a bit fierce? If you don't win first place, I will eat the paintings of nine other painters!"

Originally, Qizhou had given up!

Lin Zhibai has helped Qizhou win three championships.

In the eyes of the people of Qizhou, even if Lin Zhibai is really a god, he shouldn't have the power to become a god in every project of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, right?

Guess what happened?

Lin Zhibai's paintings are also god-like!

…

Chuzhou.

"Impossible! This painting! How could he paint such a painting!"

"Are we going to lose again? Don't we have Ling Tian! Isn't Ling Tian known as the best painter in Zhaozhou?"

"We haven't lost yet! Lin Zhibai has finished painting, but Ling Tian hasn't finished yet!"

"Hey, don't deceive yourself anymore. Once Lin Zhibai's painting comes out, the other nine can only compete for runner-up, including Ling Tian."

"I do not believe!"

Some viewers in Chuzhou were mentally shattered!

The facts before us are so crazy!

Anyone who looks at Lin Zhibai's painting will not believe that the other nine painters still have hope of surpassing him!

…

Zhaozhou.

"Did I wake up? This picture can be painted by humans!"

"This kind of artistic conception, this kind of beauty, even if it is compared to those masterpieces passed down for thousands of years in the museum, it is not inferior, right?"

"If this painting were put up for auction now, I estimate the price would directly exceed 100 million..."

"No need to estimate, Sima Ke just tweeted that he is willing to buy Lin Zhibai's painting for 700 million."

"How many?"

"Seven billion?"

"Haha, although Sima Ke is the richest man in Zhaozhou, he always speaks truthfully and falsely. Maybe he is just to gain popularity?"

"It seems like it's not as simple as riding on the heat..."

It’s really not as simple as riding on the popularity, because Sima Ke directly took a private plane to Chuzhou!

What is he going to do?

Sima Ke didn't say it clearly, but people in Zhaozhou had already begun to imagine that the richest man in Zhaozhou seemed to want to buy paintings from Lin Zhibai himself!

…

Zhongzhou.

"Can this person be taken out and dissected?"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh I just said he is an alien!"

"Can a serious human being do this?"

"A person who is proficient in playing chess, calligraphy and painting is already very powerful. It turns out that Lin Zhibai is good at playing chess, calligraphy and painting, and is a god in everything!"

"This painting can silence all contemporary painters!"

Lin Zhibai's painting itself is pursuing the ultimate beauty, but it has reached a state of both spirit and form, especially when he poured emotion into it.

That may be hypocritical.

But painting with emotion is different from painting simply for the sake of painting.

The similarities are:

No matter how Lin Zhibai draws, as long as he is serious, he will never lose!

…

Qinzhou.

Old man Lin Zhaomu looked at the screen and laughed.

His cell phone kept ringing as before, but he didn't answer it. Secretary Jin blocked them all.

Because there is only one painting!

But there was far more than one person who made the decision!

"I was careless before. I directly asked him for three calligraphy paintings. Would it be a bit excessive if I asked him for this painting again?"

The old man regretted it.

We should ask for it together.

If I ask for it now, even if I am a grandfather, I feel a little embarrassed.

But the old man really likes this painting, or no one can refuse such a work!

Lin Zhaomu can even predict that when imitations of this painting appear on the market in the future, they will definitely sell out!

…

After finishing the drawing, Lin Zhibai admired it for a while. After confirming that there was no problem, he nodded towards the referee and signaled that he wanted to "hand in the paper".

All painted.

What to do if you don't "hand in the paper"?

So soon, several judges came over.

Logically speaking, the paintings should be carried to the judges separately, but who could tell these people couldn't sit still.

A total of eight judges gathered in front of Lin Zhibai's painting. No one said a word, but their eyes widened.

Shocking!

Looking at this painting from a distance, they were already shocked!

Only when they looked closer did they realize that the painting had more details than they had seen from a distance, and even more than they imagined!

You must know that these judges are all top experts, and they all have master-level painting skills, otherwise they would not be qualified to be this judge.

But now they discovered:

Lin Zhibai's painting almost encompasses their lifelong learning in ink painting!

There were even many treatments, but they didn't understand Lin Zhibai's methods. They only knew that the results of such treatments were perfect!

How the hell do you score this?

The eight people smiled bitterly, there was no way to score.

Because this painting is perfect in their perception.

Even if it is Ling Tian's painting, they can always find some small flaws.

But even with a magnifying glass, they couldn't find anything wrong with Lin Zhibai's painting.

If there's anything wrong with it, it's probably that some of the operations in Lin Zhibai's painting touched upon their "knowledge blind spots."

"Can you give me a score?"

The staff reminded the eight judges.

The eight judges shook their heads, meaning they had to wait and see again.

The staff had no choice but to let these people continue to mutter around Lin Zhibai, making weird noises from time to time.

…

Lin Zhibai's location was not far from Ling Tian.

When Lin Zhibai finished painting, Ling Tian didn't take it seriously, but it was just a little too fast.

But Ling Tian soon realized something was wrong.

The eight judges surrounded Lin Zhibai's painting tightly, and they kept whispering for a long time.

It shouldn’t be!

Score the painting and look at it for ten minutes, and you should have the results.

Why did these judges not leave after standing next to Lin Zhibai for half an hour?

Is there anything special about Lin Zhibai's paintings?

Ling Tian finally finished the painting, and he had a reason to call the judges over.

However, Ling Tian did not call the judges directly, but walked towards Lin Zhibai's painting first.

He wanted to see what Lin Zhibai had drawn, but he actually let several judges see that it was not finished yet.

"Let me take a look."

Ling Tian smiled and said: "What a good painting it must be for you to appreciate it for so long. I have finished the painting over there. I would like to ask all the judges and teachers to move to..."

The voice suddenly stopped.

Ling Tian saw Lin Zhibai's painting.

Jumping colors, both physical and spiritual effects, ultimate charm, perfect details...

Countless feelings flashed through his mind instantly, and Ling Tian's expression froze. He had never seen this style before, but what he could be sure of was:

This painting is definitely the winner of today!

Ling Tian was dumbfounded at this moment. Is this really a state that humans can achieve?

But what Ling Tian didn't know was.

In the live broadcast room, after he saw Lin Zhibai's work, the close-up of his expression at that moment could almost be made into an emoticon.

All right.

There are already memes.

At a certain art academy, a student took a screenshot of Ling Tian’s expression and chatted in the group:

"Shock·jpg"

"Ling Tian's pupils are shaking!"

"Ling Tian's heart: Immortals are forbidden from participating!"

"I feel that if the teacher wants to explain Lin Zhibai's painting comprehensively, he can just open a new class in the school!"

"If I say something unpleasant, the teacher may not understand it."

"Don't talk about the color, just talk about the artistic conception, this feeling of both form and spirit. I feel that it is an unprecedented challenge for those who imitate paintings."

"Next time I take the exam, I will just worship Bai Di."

"Hahahahahaha, the walking god of painting, right?"

"I also bought a collection of Ling Tian's paintings. I always thought he was the strongest painter. I didn't expect to see him being bloody and tortured today."

Yes!

Bloody torture!

The drawing contest isn't over yet, but in a way it is!
