Tsukasa Higashino naturally didn't know what kind of storm his "Midnight Bell" had set off outside.

However, he has always felt that his "Midnight Bell" should be able to make those Japanese friends who have a good life more comfortable.

Add a little excitement and a little vitality to their ordinary life.

When the time comes, there will definitely be many people who will like his work.

Maybe someone would lock the TV with a chain?

At least that's what Higashino thinks.

But compared to "Midnight Bell", which has entered the serialization stage, Tsukasa Higashino values "Tokyo Sunset Impression" in his hands more

This is the work he wants to take to participate in this youth painting exhibition.

For this painting, he even skipped a class and came to the studio early to try his hand.

The overall difficulty of this oil painting is actually not very large.

The key point is how to depict the dynamic of light and shadow in the sunset, and the contrast between the warm colors of nature and the cool colors of the buildings.

As the title suggests, this is an impressionist painting.

The so-called Impressionism is actually mainly a school of painting that depicts the combination of light and shadow and dynamism to paint the impression of beauty, and the well-known work of Impressionism is Monet's "Sunrise Impression".

As a professional painter in his previous life, Tsukasa Higashino actually dabbled in the works of the abstract painting school, and the works of the other painting schools were actually quite presentable.

Now he has his own system talent, which makes him understand the places that he used to feel obscure.

This is like a person in a state of inspiration, who can write a good article casually, and he has divine help in writing.

He easily typed the sketch, and then took out the oil paint that Konoe had been useless, and chose several by feeling, squeezing a little of each on his palette.

To be honest, looking at his palette, Higashino Tsukasa was a little angry.

This Konoe Lianghua is really welcome, if you want to buy it, you can buy the most expensive palette, and when she made up the money, Higashino Tsukasa almost couldn't help but put a little head melon seeds up.

This is a really rich woman.

I think that in his studio, Tsukasa Higashino would just pull a tile or a small wooden table with a smooth surface to interview for colors, and if the oil paint was too thick, he would scrape off another layer with a spatula and continue to use it.

Where had he ever used such a precious wooden palette? This thing is small as a whole, not to mention, the color test range is not large, and there is a line of small print signature in the lower right corner... I guess it's the signature of the famous painter.

But this is a, useless except to raise the price higher.

As for the oil painters on TV with a brand new palette in their hands?

That's all for show.

As long as a palette of oil paintings is used regularly, the whole will show a kind of green, the edges tend to be black, and it looks particularly dirty, where is it spotless?

But no, no.

Tsukasa Higashino was somewhat speechless.

Who knew that Ryoka Konoe was so unkind? How to buy such an expensive palette?

The key is that he can't get angry yet, because Konoe Lianghua was going to give it to him at the beginning, and he insisted on making up the money for Konoe Lianghua.

What to do?

Just take it.

Tsukasa Higashino laid out the overall base color of the oil painting, then stretched out the brush a little, then rolled up some other colors, and then tried the colors on the board.

Yes, it is the desired orange red.

The whole should be a little orange, but not too bright, so as not to suppress the cold color, so you should expand the cold blue around to make the picture a little cool...

The darkest place can't be too dark, you have to have some blue, the blue is the most suitable, the blue is black, but not too black, here you need to add a little cadmium yellow into it, and the color is slightly lighter.

Tsukasa Higashino easily pinched the color, rolled up the brush in his hand, and colored it little by little.

Impression painting, on the contrary, is more like brushstrokes, and although the overall picture looks chaotic, it has to have a sense of order. As for why not the abstractionists... The abstract pie is really something that only a great god can play with, and Tsukasa Higashino says that he doesn't have that ability.

Tsukasa Higashino is very patient with coloring, and to be precise, anyone who studies art must be patient.

A simple analogy.

For an oil painting, you stretch the canvas, and it takes a day or two for the canvas to dry, and then you start painting again.

After painting for five or six days, or even a week or two, when it was finally finished, it suddenly came and destroyed the painting - then it had to be slowly remedied by scraping the paint.

You can't learn to draw if you're impatient.

"Almost."

Tsukasa Higashino looked at the glittering oil painting in front of him with satisfaction.

The overall warm color of the sky reveals a little bit of cold color that is not dark, and the cold and warm are blended. The cool buildings echo the cool colors above, and the nearby is a breezy park...

The combination of light and shadow makes the whole picture reveal a sense of vitality and movement.

Not bad.

Higashino glanced at it and found that the background color was completely fine, so he subconsciously went to get turpentine, intending to clean the brush.

But before he could touch his hand, he saw Ryoka Konoe standing behind him with a stupid face.

"What are you doing?"

Tsukasa Higashino was taken aback by her.

This thing was pestled behind him without saying a word, and his temperament was still very gloomy, looking like a female ghost, of course he was scared.

“... I'm watching you draw. ”

Konoe Ryoka's soul seems to have been captured by the oil painting painted by Tsukasa Higashino, and it took a long time to subconsciously answer.

“... Of course I know you're watching me draw. Tsukasa Higashino was really laughed at by Ryoka Konoe, and he didn't even care about the 10,000 yen palette: "I just want to ask you, is there something you want to find me behind me?" ”

"Oh, oh... That, you let me watch "Midnight Bell", that after watching it..."

Ryoka Konoe whispered, her eyes still unconsciously glancing at Tsukasa Higashino's painting.

Seeing this scene, Higashino Tsukasa stood up directly and blocked her vision.

She retracted her gaze very unwillingly and dejectedly, and continued:

"I didn't look... But my friend watched it, and she said it was very good-looking, it was scary. ”

"Really?" Higashino Tsushishin couldn't hear anything with just two adjectives, so he asked her again, "Do you have any other feelings?" ”

"Huh? Anything else? ”

Ryoka Konoe blinked, subconsciously recalling what happened after Yumi Takahashi and Aoi Fujiwara watched "Midnight Bell"...

Yumi Takahashi was almost not scared out of the psychological shadow by a phone call from Aoi Fujiwara at that time.

Afterwards, he released a declaration of 'breaking off friendship'.

Their tense appearance made it clear that Jingwei Lianghua was in a cold sweat.

Until Fujiwara Aoi bought Yumi Takahashi a drink - a 500 yen can of high-end goods.

Yumi Takahashi happily re-spoke to Aoi Fujiwara.

The speed of this face-changing made Konoe Lianghua stunned.

Yumi Takahashi is a dog, and she usually gets angry quickly, but as long as she gives a bone, she immediately dissipates her anger.

Compared to her, Fujiwara Aoi has the cunning feeling of a mouse.

But fortunately, the two reconciled in the end.

Otherwise, Konoe Ryoka really felt like she had become a sinner.

So Konoe Ryoka answered very honestly:

"It's just a sense of uneasiness, regret, and fear that I've done something wrong."

"Really?"

Tsukasa Higashino glanced at Ryoka Konoe strangely.

Isn't his "Midnight Bell" a pure horror comic? The 'uneasiness and regret' in front of Ryoka Konoe is understandable, but why is it still related to the 'horror of being afraid that I have done something wrong'?

didn't wait for Higashino Tsukasa to finish thinking, Konoe Ryoka looked at him cautiously:

"Is that the finished oil painting you're going to hand in? You look so good... Is this going to be handed in to participate in the Youth Painting Awards? ”

She was referring to the oil painting that Tsukasa Higashino had just painted.

Although she only looked at it twice, she thought it was really good-looking.

Unlike Ryoka Konoe, Tsukasa Higashino was stunned: "Are you kidding?" Did you submit a draft for the competition?? ”

"Huh?" Tsukasa Higashino's tone, which was obviously dissatisfied with his work, made Ryoka Konoe show an incredible expression.

No, that's not right... It's really beautiful... And such a beautiful painting ... Or is it just a draft? Tsukasa Higashino is still not satisfied...?

Ryoka Konoe lowered her head and looked at her toes.

She felt like a car, and as soon as she was run over by the big truck of Higashino Tsukasa, she disappeared without a trace-
