Tokyo life starting with painting

Generally speaking, when students in the studio are doing wall painting, students will come over to watch the fun.

This is actually normal. After all, in high school, people who have good academic performance, can play basketball, sing or draw are quite popular.

but--

"I've never seen this formation with more than one or two hundred people, right?"

Konoe Rinka, who was carrying a few small buckets of acrylic paint, glanced around and couldn't help but sigh in a low voice.

It is estimated that not only the senior high school students in our school, but also students from other schools came over out of curiosity.

There may be a group of people here who are not fans of Higashinoji. They may have heard the news and came here out of curiosity to see the excitement.

But

"This quantity is still a bit too much." Airi Kono, who was also helping Higashinoji carry paint next to her, took a look at it and couldn't help but muttered: "If I were stared at by so many people, I would be too nervous to draw anything. .”

Konoe Rinka also agreed with this statement,

One or two hundred people are staring at you curiously. In this case, if your hands shake or your feet become weak, it will be really embarrassing.

The most important thing is that in such a tense situation, it will become extremely difficult to use your own strength.

At least Konoe Rinka could feel a little nervous standing next to Higashinoji carrying paint.

Thinking this, Konoe Rinka glanced at Higashinoji curiously, wanting to see what his expression was now - not to say nervous, but it shouldn't be that relaxed, right?

But when she looked over, she realized that Higashinoji still had the same cheerful and smiling expression, basically unchanged. He was even chatting with Konoe Ryoka and the others.

This psychological quality

"Rinka, give me the paint." Higashinoji reached out to take the paint from Konoe Rinka's hand, and his eyes began to scan the Aomori High School art wall in front of him.

It has to be said that Reizo Ishikawa really invested some money into his school. At a glance, this art wall is about thirty meters long. The surface is generally flat and the main body is white. Many places have been covered by students' walls. Paintings were occupied.

Landscape paintings, figure paintings, and some even challenged abstract paintings. Although the quality is only average in Higashinoji's opinion, compared to ordinary students, the works here can be called superior.

He looked away, trying to find a good spot to paint.

After all, there were already many works on the wall. He couldn't just paint based on these works or just cover up all the student works.

While Higashinoji was looking at it, Airi Kono took the initiative to come up and find a good place for Higashinoji: "Teacher Higashino, look here, there is a spacious enough place."

The area she pointed to was indeed a good one. It was an empty wall that had no trace of use at all. It was also very large, and Higashinoji had plenty of space to make use of.

Airi Kono herself thinks it’s pretty good.

Just when she thought Toyesi would nod in agreement, Toyesi smiled and waved his hand: "No, I'll just use that place."

He smiled and pointed toward the end of the art wall.

There is indeed a blank wall there.

but

"Isn't it blocked by landscape trees?" Airi Kono opened her mouth in confusion.

Yes, because this art wall is a bit too long, we can’t just leave a bare wall here, so we planted some small landscape trees around it, and there are ivy leaves on the wall, which makes it look lush and very beautiful. Atmosphere.

The area chosen by Higashi Yesi happened to be blocked by a landscape tree, which looked very obstructive.

"It just needs trees."

Higashino replied with a smile.

Is it better to have trees?

Wouldn't the trees there be blocking things? And no matter how good the painting is, if it is blocked by landscape trees, wouldn’t it be useless to paint it?

Isn't this too strange?

Kono Airi and Konoe Rinka were a little confused, so they curiously asked Konoe Ryoka and the others who were standing next to them: "What exactly is Higashino-sensei planning to draw? Didn't you reveal it?"

"Asi didn't say anything. He just made a sudden decision and was ready to draw. He didn't say anything else."

Konoe Ryoka and the others also looked confused, as if they didn't understand Higashinoji's thoughts at all.

Outside the venue, many students who came to watch the excitement also looked curious. What is Higashinoji planning to do?

While they were chatting curiously, Higashinoji had already arrived next to the landscape tree with a paint can.

This landscape tree is not big, it is just an ordinary thin-stemmed landscape tree. At a rough glance, it is only two or three meters tall.

Higashino nodded with satisfaction, picked up the wall painting tools, and began to prepare for painting.

He already had an idea when he looked at the wall just now, and now he just drew what was in his mind on the wall.

As for the so-called wall painting tools, they are actually nothing more than chalk, paintbrushes, erasers, buckets, knives, plastic palettes and other gadgets.

Chalk is used to make sketches on the wall, and a knife is used to scrape off excess paint.

"I don't know what Higashino-sensei wants to draw." Airi Kono had already stepped back far enough to watch Higashino lower his head to adjust the colors.

Should I say it's a fan filter?

Even though Higashinoji has an ordinary color palette, she still thinks he's quite handsome.

"Everything is pretty much the same, Mr. Higashino should be pretty good at it." Yumi Takahashi added from the side.

She didn't know much about painting, but in her opinion, Higashinoji was omnipotent, and there was nothing he couldn't do.

"How can they be almost the same? There are many schools of painting." Airi Kono glanced at Yumi Takahashi and then explained: "Just like karate and kendo, there are schools, and there are various styles of painting. .”

"But according to my understanding, generally speaking, there are actually two types of works. One is works that pursue the expressive skills of the picture, and the other is creative-themed works that want to express certain emotions and certain thoughts."

Kono Airi explained again:

“Landscape paintings and classical paintings are works that pursue realistic expression, which are works that pursue the skills of picture expression, which are also so-called painting techniques. Works such as abstract paintings simply test the author’s depth of something. Thinking about it.”

Of course, what Airi Kono said is that she actually doesn’t understand abstract paintings yet. Even if she were to look at them now, she wouldn’t understand what emotions the authors of these abstract paintings wanted to express.

"Is that so?" Takahashi Yumi seemed to understand: "Then do you understand what Mr. Higashino wants to draw now?"

"Ah? Have you started drawing yet?" Airi Kono showed a surprised expression.

"Uh, have you finished the painting?" Takahashi Yumi glanced at Higashinoji, a little confused: "Do you always draw so fast in your art life?"

"." Airi Kono.

Ignoring Takahashi Yumi's question, Kono Airi looked at Higashinoji over there.

She lowered her head and chatted with Takahashi Yumi for a while. Higashinoji had already finished the painting?

This is too fast.

She has always been a rational fan. If the things Higashino drew were ordinary things, then she would be completely disappointed.

But it seems like the painting is really finished?

Kono Airi opened her mouth.

But this is too small, right? On such a large wall, the paintings painted by Higashinoji probably only occupied one-tenth of the area.

Moreover, the content of Higashinoji's painting on the wall is also very simple. It is probably a young man wearing a white slim-fitting shirt. At this time, the young man in the picture is leaning sideways and concentrating on painting on the wall. The object of his painting is a landscape tree. .

that's all.

The content is really simple, but the painting is extremely detailed. The landscape tree in Higashinoji's work on the wall seems to jump out directly from the plane through the medium of the wall.

But not much else.

This composition is too monotonous and looks lonely.

"Aji's work this time is a bit monotonous," Konoe Ryoka couldn't help but said worriedly.

But her words were heard by Airi Kono next to her, which made Airi Kono suddenly anxious: "Do you know what art is? This composition is actually not monotonous at all."

"Huh?" Konoe Ryoka was stunned.

She looked at the obviously anxious senior next to her with surprise on her face.

It's not me who is A Si's girlfriend. I'm not impatient yet, so why are you impatient? Shouldn't I be more worried about this situation?

Konoe Ryoka's face was full of confusion, and she suddenly felt that her position had changed.

Kono Airi ignored this, but just like those female fans who cover up their idols, she even muttered: "Those blank spaces must be meaningful. Mr. Higashino can't do meaningless things. It’s just that my level is too low now and I can’t see it yet.”

"." Konoe Ryoka and the others couldn't help but look at each other, and they all had an inexplicable feeling about the sudden madness of Airi Kono.

It wasn't until Konoe Rinka came over and whispered to them: "Actually, Kono-senpai has always been a fan of Tsukasa, and she is a very obsessed fan." Konoe Ryouka and the others couldn't help but take another look at Kono. Love pears.

Isn't this too protective?

But since they were fans of Higashinoji, they didn't say anything.

"Speaking of which, Higashino-san, it seems that it's not over yet." Fujiwara Aoi, who had been paying attention to Higashinoji on the other side from time to time, reminded him when he saw him starting to write again.

Not over yet?

Everyone became interested again and continued to look at Higashino.

It's still the same picture, it's still the young man painting the tree on the wall, but the size and angle have changed.

The original painting was only one-tenth the size of the wall, but now the second painting is three-tenths the size of the entire wall. And because the second painting fits the first painting, it has a sense of nearness and farness. Small sense of perspective.

Especially the ordinary landscape tree in the picture was painted more realistically by Higashinoji.

And if you look carefully, you will find——

"Isn't the young man in the painting A Si?"

Higashino Chihaya asked as she touched her head.

When she mentioned it, others reacted.

In the wall painting, the young man painting the landscape tree is Higashinoji, and Higashinoji is painting the wall painting again. This visual effect presents a sense of confusion of "painting within a painting".

Higashinoji didn't stop painting because of their discussion. He washed the paint and started painting the third painting.

It is still the picture of the young man painting a tree, which is larger than the previous painting and incorporates both the previous two paintings.

This feeling is like the oil painting gradually becoming three-dimensional through the medium of the wall, breaking away from the "wall" and becoming independent in reality.

Higashinoji didn't hesitate and started to draw the fourth painting.

As before, when the first three paintings are included in it, the feeling of traveling through space and coming to reality becomes more intense.

Just when Konoe Ryoka and the others thought that Higashinoji's fifth painting was going to frame the previous four paintings, Higashinoji lifted the brush and started writing directly.

The fifth painting is surprisingly simple.

It's just the young man's face turned sideways and his brush stretched out sideways, nothing else.

But it was this too simple picture that made Airi Kono couldn't help but rub her eyes, with an expression that made her feel that her eyes were seeing something wrong.

Because the painting brush extended by the young man in this painting is exactly aimed at the real landscape tree from a plane perspective.

It feels as if the real landscape trees were painted by the flat-faced young man on the wall!

It is undoubtedly a wonderful experience, even a little dazzling.

Layers upon layers, from far to near, finally jump out of the picture and become reality

The fifth painting is indeed very simple, it is just a young man stretching out his paintbrush.

It does not put all the previous four paintings together, but allows the overall picture to directly break free and take root in reality.

Even the students who came to join in the fun couldn't help but rub their eyes, as if they had seen it wrong.

Because the person in the painting stretched out his hand and drew a "landscape tree located in reality". Isn't this because he saw it wrong?

But what they don't know is that people's eyes are actually very easy to be deceived. This kind of misalignment between reality and wall paintings is actually quite common in later generations.

However, Higashinoji prefers to call this painting method ‘matryoshka-style’ painting.

He made some slight changes based on some wall paintings he had seen in later generations and applied them here.

This is pure cleverness. Higashinoji is not complacent. After all, this painting method is easy to learn. It is just a simple matryoshka doll with wall paintings to deceive the human eye.

If there is anything to praise about the painting in front of him, it might be that he painted himself about nine times as handsome.

Not much else.

Tonoji put down the plastic painting tray in his hand, raised his hand and started to clean up the messed up props.

But before he could start, Konoe Ryoka and Takahashi Yumi came over excitedly to help.

"Teacher Higashino, this painting of yours is too...too..." Yumi Takahashi said "too" and "too" several times as she was cleaning it up, and then she managed to choke out a word: "Isn't it too interesting?"

"It's interesting," Higashino replied cheerfully.

"Yeah! Yeah!" Takahashi Yumi nodded vigorously.

Then he took out a 10,000 yen note from his small wallet, with an excited look on his face:

"Teacher Higashino, look, can you draw another one for me?"

Well.

Yumi Takahashi's 'punching' was really unorganized.

Even Tonoji was stunned. He didn't expect that she would say that and fell into a brief silence.
