Soul Painter

"You have regressed." Lu Guoying said to Gao Fan.

Gao Fan's complexion changed suddenly.

In the past few months, since the system awakened, his painting skills have improved at a speed visible to the naked eye.

All the praises received are "genius", "amazing", "advancing by leaps and bounds" and so on.

He's kind of used to getting such accolades.

All of a sudden, Lu Guoying said "You have regressed", piercing his heart like a knife.

It's easy to break an artist, it's enough to doubt his work.

An artist who is self-confident may have the arrogance and courage of "the world's enemy", and can resist a million slanders, because in his vision, those are classified as vulgar people who do not understand art.

But Gao Fan, an elder and master who is used to admiring and praising him, does not say anything, but in his subconscious, he does regard Lu Guoying as a teacher, but this guy has the same awkward personality as Lu Guoying, so it is difficult to respect It was on the lips—for such a master of oil painting, the sentence 'you have regressed' immediately made Gao Fan's mood extremely bad.

Even God noticed Gao Fan's emotional changes, and began to rub his furry head against Gao Fan's face.

Lu Guoying also stopped talking and continued to look at the painting.

Gao Fan's face was stiff, his brows were tightly frowned, and he was also staring at his painting.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit frozen, Lawrence said: "Teacher, you are too harsh on Gao Fan. This is obviously a master-level oil painting. Any new artist with such a work will be highly praised by the art world." Evaluate."

Lawrence is obviously inclined to Gao Fan, after all, that is his contract painter.

At the same time, he really thinks that this "Cat" is of a master's level, not to mention a young painter, even a famous young painter. Such works will be regarded by the art world as a peak of his creative career.

"What do you know!" Lu Guoying turned her fangs and sprayed deadly venom at Lawrence, "You are a businessman, you smell like copper, you don't know what art is, why am I so blind, I have taken you as an apprentice, I am useless Said, it will also cause the painter you signed to become a stinky painter!"

Lawrence was baptized by Lu Guoying with a storm of saliva, but this was already the norm for Lawrence. Facing Lu Guoying, he had to have the communication skills of resignation. He took half a step back to avoid the wind and light. Opening his mouth, he murmured, "Teacher, you have to be reasonable. Even you, at Gao Fan's age... you don't have this achievement!"

"Can I compare with him..." Lu Guoying blurted out, feeling something was wrong again, wouldn't this be too low of himself? Then he changed his words: "No, can he compare with me? He is the one who can start a sect in the future!"

It seems that she is also belittling herself, but don't care... Lu Guoying turned the pain she felt when she saw the painting into a machine gun of venom sprayed from her mouth, and splashed it on the two people in front of her.

"In this painting, the 'skill' is very mature, a masterwork, yes, but what is the name of this 'skill'? Compromise! I only see perfunctory and compromise in this painting, Gao Fan, your skill You are making progress, but your expression has regressed, and your paintings have lost the struggle and courage to touch the sky! It’s only been a few days, and you have regressed like this! What are you doing?”

Lu Guoying's grief made Gao Fan very ashamed.

Indeed, he used very high skills in this painting, and it is not a bad work, or in other words, a quasi-master.

But Lu Guoying's eyesight is poisonous, but he can see at a glance that Gao Fan did not exhaust all his enthusiasm and desire to create it.

This is because Gao Fan was unfavorable in creating "Bengka Nuo Dance", and he turned to compromise with his own insufficient ability to create a work.

Skillful, full picture, clear style, everything is very good, if Lu Guoying didn't know Gao Fan, only saw this work, and knew Gao Fan's age, he would have to sigh that this is a genius.

But as someone who has watched Gao Fan grow up, Lu Guoying knows very well that Gao Fan is at the peak of his strongest desire for creation and expression. During this period, the painter's creative desire, achievement and progress are the greatest in his life.

Just like when Van Gogh was admitted to a mental hospital, he expressed himself to the world at the rate of one or even two paintings a day. That was the most glorious moment in his life.

There is not much time like this in a painter's life.

Because there is a limit to the quantity and quality of a person's enthusiasm.

"You are right." Gao Fan said sincerely, "This is a failed work."

"It's not a failure..." Lawrence said hastily, because he felt that what might happen next moment.

"For you, it is indeed a failure." Lu Guoying said.

"How do you see the compromise?" Gao Fan asked curiously.

"If you use all your skills and enthusiasm, there will be places that you can't reach, but this one is perfect, especially the integration of the light on the cat and the surrounding environment, which has a Titian feeling. For others, this work is very beautiful. It's very good, but it's a failure for you at this stage of your life where you are making great progress." Lu Guoying pointed to the color part of the painting.

"Why is perfection a compromise?"

"Creation is always imperfect, and God has flaws."

Meow~ God cried out.

Gao Fan and Lu Guoying ignored Lawrence, and at the same time, things were developing in the direction Lawrence least wanted to see. After seeing the old and young people pointing at the painting and chatting for a few minutes, they began to shovel the paint on the painting with a shovel.

Lawrence fought back to say, 'I've bought the painting, and now it belongs to Fangles, what are you two doing? ’, because he knew that if he dared to say that, he would be torn and bitten by Lu Guoying's ruthless fangs.

After shoveling the painting, Gao Fan took a pencil and wrote on it, "Of Fang Gusi's oil painting, Gao Fan", and handed it to Lawrence. Lawrence sighed, but he still only received a white note what?

"By the way, I found you a teacher." Lu Guoying said again, "Feng Yuan, do you know?"

Feng Yuan...Of course he knows, he is a master of traditional Chinese painting.

How big is it? He is the honorary dean of the leading Academy of Fine Arts in China next door. He has a lot of positions in other art associations and painting associations. He has published millions of words in teaching materials. It is not inappropriate to describe it as a book.

One of the few masters in China who are good at meticulous painting.

"You and Lao Feng go to learn fine brushwork." Lu Guoying said.

"Okay ~ thank you~" Gao Fan laughed, he has always wanted to study the fine brushwork skills, and it will definitely improve his various skills as a painter.

"Teacher, the commission from PACE..." Lawrence reminded Lu Guoying.

This matter can't be delayed, it's like a peerless master who happens to meet a world-wide arena, and at the same time there is no enemy in the visible range, this is not on the stage yet, when will we wait?

"There will be no delay. Besides, don't think it is very simple. I heard that George Baselitz has also accepted the commission." Lu Guoying said.

Lawrence let out an 'ah' in surprise.

Update~ Today is still the third watch~ There will be a relatively long stage of improving painting skills, until the elk cat portrait is completed, about 20 chapters~ I also recommend a fun novel "My Sword Thirst for Blood".
