Chapter XXVIII. Portrait of Miss Jenny

Xu Hong returned to his bedroom, sat at the table, and thought about how to create another work that would earn another 10,000 yuan.

"Hey, I've already painted two works related to horses! I can't paint horses anymore!" Xu Hong thought for a while, feeling that he still had to be bold and innovative, although Master Xu Beihong's 'horse works' are very representative, but painting horses is by no means Xu Beihong's lifelong hobby.

Xu Beihong also painted many portraits, mainly using Western oil painting techniques. One of the most famous is called "Portrait of Miss Jenny", which is a work that Master Xu Beihong is very satisfied with.

"I'll make a portrait of a person, too! Maybe some people will love it!"

"Portrait of Miss Jenny" is an oil painting painted by Master Xu Beihong with a very famous female star as a model. Master Xu is very satisfied with this work, Miss Jenny in the painting is very beautiful and charming, dressed in a classical pale pink cheongsam costume, wrapped in light makeup on a mahogany chair, smiling, looking ahead, the whole work shows the subtle and restrained beauty of oriental women to the fullest.

Xu Hong also liked this work very much, and in the room before his death, there was a famous work of "Portrait of Miss Jenny" that he had spent a month copying.

"Okay, just draw this one, draw it now. Xu Hong sat at the table, spread out a blank piece of paper, picked up a pencil, and wanted to draw a portrait sketch sketch on the blank paper.

To paint an oil painting, you need a sketch. After the sketch portrait of the character is drawn, the sketch is painted with an oil paint pen. Finally, the light and shadow treatment method is used to make the oil painting appear three-dimensional and realistic. In this way, an oil painting is completed.

Xu Hong is an authentic graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts, and he has a good grasp of various painting techniques. Whether it is painting Chinese painting or oil painting, he can easily and skillfully complete a copy of a masterpiece in no time.

Xu Hong took a pencil and drew a portrait of a young woman on white paper. The drawing is very realistic, and people already like it very much when they see this manuscript.

"Well, it's really good, just this one sketch is already very beautiful!" After Xu Hong finished painting, he couldn't help but pick it up and admire it.

But when he looked at it, his eyes widened in surprise.

"What's the matter, I'm painting Miss Jenny! Why does it look like the young lady named Wen Sisi!" Xu Hong stared at his work, looked at it for a while, and felt that the woman in the painting was not like Jenny in "The Portrait of Miss Jenny", but very much like the beautiful writer Wen Sisi he met during the day.

"Damn, it seems that I really like this girl! Why can't I even help but draw the woman in the painting like her!"

Xu Hong also felt strange about his behavior! He obviously thought about the appearance of Jenny in "The Portrait of Miss Jenny", but after painting it, it turned out to be the beautiful writer Wen Sisi he met during the day.

"What can I do about this!Or, let's draw another one!" Xu Hong felt that he didn't draw the image of the woman he wanted in his heart, so he wanted to draw another one!

But at this moment, the door of his room opened, and Xu Qichang walked in.

"Son, are you drawing!" Xu Qichang looked at his son holding a blank piece of paper in his hand, and knew that it must be the painting that his son had just drawn.

"Yes, Dad, what's the matter!" Xu Hong glanced at Xu Qichang, and then continued to look at his paintings!

"Son, I'm sorry just now! Dad just wants you to work hard to become a great painter! I don't mean anything else, you won't be angry!" Xu Qichang looked at his son and apologized to Xu Hong!

"Dad, what are you talking about? It's not easy for you to raise me! Should I also be filial to you! Don't worry, I will work hard to paint, strive to become a great painter as soon as possible, and pay off the family's arrears. ”

Xu Hong saw his father apologize to him, and he was still a little embarrassed!

"Son, the arrears are owed by my father to the bank, you don't have any pressure, just paint with peace of mind. Even if the bank collects money, it won't have anything to do with you. Xu Qichang is still comforting his son!

"Dad, what are you talking about! I am your son, and of course I am also responsible for the affairs of the family! I owe tens of millions of dollars, and it is impossible to pay it off just by relying on you and my mother to work. Do you still have to rely on me to draw to make it possible?"

Xu Hong looked at his father politely and told him his goal.

"Son, you are really becoming more and more sensible! Dad should learn from you!" Xu Qichang listened to Xu Hong's words, he was also very moved, and couldn't help but walk to his son's side, and then patted his son's broad shoulder.

"Dad, look at you, why do you always say these kind words! I'm your son, is everything I do as it should be!" Xu Hong said as he smiled at his father.

Xu Qichang stood beside his son and inadvertently glanced at his son's new work. Originally, Xu Qichang thought that his son must be painting a work related to horses, and the painting must be one or several horses.

But when Xu Qichang saw it clearly, he was a little stunned.

Because this time Xu Hong's painting is not a horse, but a beautiful woman. A beautiful girl in a cheongsam sits on a chair with great grace.

"Son, how do you --- draw a beautiful woman!"

Xu Qichang looked at his son a little strangely.

"What's the matter, Dad, can't I paint beautiful women!" Xu Hong was also very strange, thinking, he is a painter, isn't it normal to paint a beautiful woman!

"Then tell me, who are you painting, is it the beautiful girl you met during the day!" Xu Qichang was a little angry because his son fell in love with a girl!

Now when he looks at his son, he actually draws a girl in the painting, and he is suddenly very popular again.

Xu Hong watched his father get angry with himself, and he was still a little inexplicable! But think about it, he is painting, whether he is painting beautiful women or horses, what a big difference there is! Isn't it all a painting!

"yes! That's the pretty girl I met! Xu Hong also glared at his father, looking puzzled.

"Stinky boy, you still say that you don't have lovesickness! Now you even think about this girl when you paint, and you actually draw her, and you say that you didn't let her be charmed. Xu Qichang was still yelling at his son angrily.

"Dad, what do you say! What are you fascinated about, do men like beautiful women? Don't you like beautiful women!" Xu Hong debated with his father unconvinced.

"Hmph, I knew you weren't really getting better. I still like these inconsistencies. You are like this, how can you draw well!" Xu Qichang glared at Xu Hong, his eyes still full of anger.
