The whole picture is getting more and more complete, and the little real fingers are also starting to pantothenic.

After all, drawing for more than 2 hours in a row is still very tiring for a fourth-grade child.

Although it seems that the game has come to an end, this is the most critical moment.

After all, the difficult watercolor painting is chosen by Xiao Zhen himself. The painting time of the truly famous watercolors is relatively long, some even more than a month.

Many painters have to wait for the paint to be rendered again and again in order to get the desired flow effect on watercolor paper, and then slowly adjust the rendering effect until the goal is reached.

So at first, Xiao Zhen wanted to draw watercolors in this competition, but Mr. Pan refused.

Lao Wu also felt that painting watercolor paintings was a bit too much, after all, the second uncle only mastered all the skills of painting watercolors after junior high school.

Although the second uncle also had access to watercolor painting classes in elementary school, it was the most color-oriented course after all.

On the other hand, watercolor painting requires physical strength that is difficult to do at a young age.

However, Mr. Pan didn't know that Xiao Zhen was at home in front of the oil painting "Gleaners" (although it is an oil painting photo, it is still possible to look for colors. ) has been sitting for hours just to bring out a certain color on the paper through the interplay of colors.

Therefore, slowly, Mr. Pan saw that there was gradually a trace of dragon charm under the little real and immature strokes. The whole picture is getting better and better.

And Xiao Zhenzhen took two packs of three cow chive-flavored biscuits prepared at the beginning and ate them.

Xiao Zhen thought in his heart: In the last 20 minutes, you must stick to the last few key parts.

We can see that the whole picture is gradually complete.

Xiao Zhen continued to examine the whole picture nervously, the dragon in the clouds on the left, the dragon on the right, the jewel in the middle, the surrounding mountains and rivers, and the huge waves on the sea have all been formed, which seems to be a very good painting.

However, although the color on the dragon on the right is more showy, there seems to be something missing around the eyes.

So, Xiao Zhen fell into thinking. Close your eyes and draw every dragon from preschool onwards seems to be in the eyes of a little real, fire-breathing, cloud-flying, flying... , but the eyes of these dragons seemed to become blurred all of a sudden.

As a result, more beads of sweat continued to ooze from Xiao Zhen's forehead. After all, he suddenly didn't know how to continue to express the painting better through the brush.

Because he didn't know what kind of stroke would make the dragon's eyes get the momentum he wanted to express.

At this time, Xiao Zhen realized that it was not easy to express his eyes with a paintbrush.

However, time is running out, and there is no time to continue thinking.

So, Xiao Zhen chose to use the smallest pen to outline the black wheel, although the effect is not ideal, but the overall effect is still good.

It's still a little bit of a point, but I've done my best, and there are no regrets. Skimming the watercolor strokes and oil pastels around and a small amount of gouache, Xiao Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.

Since it is indeed some distance from the target's picture, Xiao Zhen's expectations for the result of the game have been lowered.

After all, if you have worked hard, there will be no regrets, so any result is acceptable to the small truth, and the big deal is that the small truth is really not suitable for art.

"This art competition is over, please leave the venue in an orderly manner. "The principal announced the end of the game at five o'clock on time.

So, Xiao Zhen rolled up the painting, wrote his name at the bottom and ran over to hand in the scroll, and only after coming back did he slowly find a place to clean the palette and brush.

After returning home, Xiao Zhen followed Lao Wu to the restaurant, and when he arrived at the restaurant, Xiao Zhen cried and said to Lao Wu: "In the end, I still couldn't draw the dragon well, because the eyes couldn't draw well." ”

"Silly boy, it's normal, this facial feature originally needs long-term practice to draw well, your second uncle has carefully referred to the cartoons of Osamu Tezuka, Cai Zhizhong and many others in order to practice drawing eyes. And there have been a lot of sketches in the process, as the so-called one minute on the stage and ten years off the stage. Although you have drawn a lot of dragons, in fact, there is still a long process of the total training time from quantitative to qualitative change, so it is normal to not be able to grasp the eye accurately. ”

"Then how do you draw the dragon's eyes?" Xiao Zhen continued to ask.

"Practice makes perfect, and when you imitate enough times, sketch enough of the eyes of all kinds, and look closely at the characteristics of each person's eyes, then you will be able to draw well. Lao Wu carefully recalled the energy of the second uncle to learn to paint, and said while comparing his hands to painting.

"Well, the work comes naturally, and the reason why the finishing touch has become an idiom is because the eyes are the most difficult part of the painting, because the eyes are the most difficult part to draw, because the eyes are not reasonable in testing the facial features, hair, etc., because even the same pair of eyes will produce different effects under different collocations. It seems that it is just that the eyes are difficult to draw, but in fact, you can't combine the five senses of the target according to the characteristics of the target. Lao Wu continued.

So, Xiao Zhen also stopped crying for a while and said: "That is to say, if you really want to draw well, you must master these basic skills?"

"Yes, this is also the reason why I don't agree with you to study professional painting, because you are very curious and easily attracted by new things, and painting is the most important thing to pay attention to quiet, and it is only possible to become famous by immersing yourself in the works and exercises. Look at your second uncle, although he has always been very hardworking, he has not produced any heavyweight works for so many years. Lao Wu continued.

"I'm fully committed to my work. Xiao Zhen left tears again.

"It's not enough, your dad said you have to devote yourself to the practice. And you just do it in the game, and then you find that you can't do something when it counts, because you don't have the relevant training in training. The second uncle who had just arrived said.

"You're right to like dragon painting, after all, love what I love. But without mastery of basic skills, it won't work after all, and your dad is right. But you don't have to worry about this campus drawing competition, you've done a great job. The second uncle said again.

"Okay, okay, put down the baggage, let's talk about a steak dinner, this is not a steak. Lao Wu saw that the waiter had already brought a large steak to the table.

Eating is really the best means of healing, when the steak is wiped out, there is only satisfaction left on Xiao Zhen's face, and the previous tears have already been very faint.

A few days later, the weekly meeting on Monday was announced, and the result of the competition was: in the 3rd~4th grade group, Xiao Zhen was the champion.

After all, the contest is dominated by opponents with watercolor pens and oil pastels. The total vote score of the whole school for the small real painting is not high.

After all, the dragon is a thing that everyone has in their hearts, so it is not easy to get a high number of votes.

However, it was also very good, and in the end, this painting was framed in the corridor of each class with a glass frame like the other award-winning works, and Xiao Zhen's one happened to be in the corridor of his own class.

After Mr. Peng saw it, he naturally spent a few minutes in the Chinese class to praise him, after all, this is also a glory for the class.

However, Xiao Zhen understands that although this did not achieve his goal, it is also a good result.

The next semester's art class is aimed at students who specialize in art, and there are some additional special training and collective training courses, but Lao Wu still requires Xiao Zhen to focus on cultural courses, so he can only give up further study in this area.

In this last class of art interest class, Mr. Pan took a family photo of the art class with everyone, and this is also the last time Xiao Zhen and Mr. Pan met, because the art class after the fifth grade is trained separately, and Mr. Pan will not continue to teach daily art classes, so this is also the last class of Mr. Pan and most of the students.

After taking the family photo, Xiao Zhen understood that his amateur art career was over.

As the bell rang at the end of class, Mr. Pan finally sent a message to everyone: "Please don't throw away your paintbrush, the brush will always be your good friend." See you soon!"
