Soul Painter

Gao Fan was thinking.

It was Lawrence who was most anxious.

Obviously, the great paintings of '15+1' have already been painted.

But Gao Fan just didn't submit the manuscript, and put it in the studio to watch and think about it.

It's the end of January.

At this time, the Chinese New Year is in China, so let’s forget about the solo exhibition in China, and we will have to wait until March before returning to the normal rhythm of production and life.

But Boston is not a new year. The most important Thanksgiving Eve and Christmas have passed, and the Boston art circle is waiting for the magical oriental painters to baptize their souls again.

Originally looking at the 15 works of Gao Fan's mask-themed painting, all of them have been completed, and Lawrence has started to blow the wind in Boston. After all, such things as exhibitions need to create momentum, and the audience cannot be conjured out of thin air. Art critics People also need to say hello in advance, so it is normal for Lawrence to do so.

In Lawrence's rhythm, he completed his solo exhibition in Boston in January, which shocked the Boston art circle, and by the way, played the sign of opening up the sect, and then made a big hit in this year's Christie's spring auction.

Of course, the fifteen mask paintings cannot all be sold. According to the principle of long-term flow, two or three pieces will be sold to collectors first, and then a few pieces will be collected by museums, such as the New York Museum and the British Museum. The identity of the master has been firmly established.

Since then, Gao Fan has been able to create one by one, increasing his value layer by layer, until he has added enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with masters such as Picasso and Monet, and become a living legend. Don’t forget that Gao Fan is only 22 years old. Still 80 years to live a legend.

Therefore, in Lawrence's interlocking plan, Gao Fan's "thinking" disrupted his rhythm...

"What are you in a hurry for?" Lu Guoying reprimanded Lawrence, "Did you delay your money? Are you distressed? Be honest, don't rush, or I will ask Gao Fan to change his agent!"

Lawrence, who was sprayed by Lu Guoying, felt exhausted physically and mentally. He reluctantly said: "Teacher, let's not talk about the exhibition hall that Gardner has prepared long ago, but just say what are you waiting for? His works are already good enough. No, not only excellent, but great! What is he waiting for?"

"How do I know? Who should I ask?" Lu Guoying asked with a beard and staring eyes.

"You...you can at least see it?" Lawrence asked, "You are also a master."

"I said a long time ago that I can't compare with Gao Fan." When Lu Guoying said this, she felt a little lonely, "Bai spared the status of a teacher, but I didn't teach him anything. In the future, the world art history will talk about demons. When sending, maybe you have to remember me, hum, the name does not match the reality, shame on you!"

Lawrence understood the twists and turns in Lu Guoying's heart. He probably felt that he didn't teach anything, and he might be regarded as Gao Fan's teacher, so he was "shame"? The awkwardness of this old artist's thinking can be compared with that of a tsundere girl who is pursued by adolescence.

And Gao Fan.

Gao Fan was indeed struggling.

The sixteenth painting is an unexpected work.

Although it is also within the scope of 'world' skills.

But if this piece of work can't control the overall situation, it will appear superfluous.

But at this moment, the last work named "Redemption" always lacks a kind of... um, soul that can cover the previous fifteen paintings?

How to describe it.

If we say that the first fifteen paintings express the fall of human beings.

Then the sixteenth painting must save them.

In Gao Fan's mind, this will make the meaning of the whole mask group painting complete.

Otherwise, as long as the first fifteen works are enough, why do we need the sixteenth?

So Gao Fan painted this painting for ten days, but he thought about it for half a month.

It was very smooth when I was drawing, but I was too tired when I was thinking, and I used the "world" skills all the time, which also made Gao Fan's cough sound like a gangrene, which could not be shaken off. This time, it was Xin Wei who dragged Gao Fan out Playing, having fun, can't wake up Gao Fan anymore. Gao Fan will be in a daze when watching a movie, will be indifferent on a roller coaster, and will put a spoon in his mouth and bite when eating.

"It's almost there. I know where it is, but I can't find it." Gao Fan told his predicament.

It was only the last stroke, but Gao Fan couldn't finish it.

In the end, on the fifteenth day, Gao Fan finally gave up, which was impossible with his current skill level.

"Redemption" does not bring true redemption.

"But... I'm not reconciled." Gao Fan muttered.

Unless... use mysterious power.

Gao Fan held the big Bengka mask, feeling the existence of the soul of the Great Elder in it, which has become weaker and weaker. In other words, it is not the soul of the Great Elder, but just the memory of the Great Elder.

Although the Great Elder obtained the mystery from the Black Tree, the rank of the Black Tree is already very low, and the system is not even willing to issue a separate task for it. Therefore, the mystery that the Great Elder obtained is even more meager. Now, just It's going to dissipate.

"Great Elder, I will let you live forever."

Gao Fan said softly, and then he made up his mind, and he started to smash this big Bunka mask, grind it into wood powder, and mix it into his dye.

Gao Fan prepared a layer of bright white that is as light as smoke in the color palette. When he blended the wood powder into it, the wood powder floated and sank in it, showing a grainy feeling that could not be melted. It was also in this state when Van threw the bonemeal representing the 'Great Yith Shell' into the dye.

And with the outflow of mystery, these condensed qualities associated with great existence will be integrated into Gao Fan's brushes and sprinkled on his paintings.

Gao Fan only consumed 3 points of mysticism this time.

The last time it smashed another 'shell', it cost 5 points.

Apparently, the rank of the lost great Yisi, the black tree, is a little lower than the real great Yisi race.

Along with the 3 points of occultism and the characteristics left over from the Dabunka mask, they were painted on the mask painting of "Redemption" in front of me, and the whole painting has a strange texture.

The mask on the upper layer, which is as light as mist, looks more exquisite and clear, with a sense of light that shines on the world like a holy light. The viewer will see it at the first sight now, and ignore the ugly masked face below. , Then, there is a kind of comfort like being bathed in the sun...

comfortable.

This is the first time that Gao Fan has created such a look and feel through the creation techniques of the Demon School.

His paintings have always carried the sharp edge that penetrates human reason. The first fifteen mask paintings have reached the pinnacle of this skill, like accusations and trials, counting the sins of human ignorance, but this one Not the same, this last mask painting expresses a clear comfort, a tolerant redemption.

Gao Fan broke through his limit.

Although it is with the help of mysticism and utensils.

But he still wants to say: "I'm awesome~"

At this time, the system gives feedback:

'Search for the four tribes of the great Yith race lost in time, the traits of the servants, stored in the ritual of summoning them, maybe you can try to use them as paint dyes.

The task has been completed, 1/4. '
