The flip side of open source is throttling.

The annual Double 11 shopping carnival is here, and since the birth of this shopping festival, it has simply become a carnival for female compatriots.

Although Su Xia now no longer has a lot of leisure time to browse various shopping websites, beauty, clothing, etc., and this part of the expenditure has been reduced to the limit, but after all, it is a shopping carnival once a year, Su Xia finally couldn't help but place an order for a metal chain black tassel satchel of an international first-line brand that has been planted for a long time, which is really exciting for Su Xia, who has not purchased "large items" for a long time, and feels that he has completely owned the sweetness of waiting for the receipt of the goods.

This time, Su Xia racked her brains and used the most coupons, and the most practical place for women to learn arithmetic should be used at this time, so the price is also quite beautiful and cost-effective.

When receiving the goods, Su Xia couldn't wait to open the yellow kraft paper box, open the dust bag, and gently take out the bag that she had been thinking about for a long time, but she lost her previous excitement and joy, "Why is the real thing like that, it's not very good-looking, in fact, my XXX bag style is almost the same, it's winter, and the metal chain won't take long...... Hey, forget it, let's stay, it's a double eleven a year, and you should treat yourself to a year of hard work, no, 10,000 is enough for the cost of Xibao's specialty class for a year, so let's return it...... "That's it, in the end, the extracurricular class defeated Su Xia's bag, and unrealistic needs will eventually be defeated by reality.

No woman who loves beauty can resist the temptation of bags, beautiful clothes, and shoes, and Su Xia is no exception, although Su Xia does not worship famous brands, she also has the "superpower" to pick out big brand items from thousands of cheap goods, but a post-80s beauty lover Su Xia will occasionally "break the bank" to treat herself as a small joy in life, and she is full of satisfaction and joy at that time.

And now as a single mother, I unconsciously pay for the future of my children and the fireworks of life, which is the confidence of life and investment in the future.

Every year, the cost of Xibao education expenditure occupies the majority of Suxia's economic expenditure, and today is another day of running around for class, after taking English class, I go to painting class non-stop.

The painting class is located in an art district of a "Soviet-style complex", most of which were built with Soviet aid in the 60s and have typical red brick facades. Due to the old houses, the original residents moved out one after another, and artists continued to reside, and slowly it developed into an art district, named "Red House" art district because of the color of the exterior walls.

The studio is located on the top floor of one of the three-story red Soviet buildings, the exterior is mottled red bricks, and the climbing greenery has withered in the early winter season, and when you walk inside, there is a strong atmosphere of modern art, and sculptures, paintings and other artworks fill the entire space. The blend of the old and the modern, the art and the folklore, creates a wonderful chemical reaction.

"Hello Mr. Gao!" Xibao entered the studio and took the initiative to greet him.

"It's coming! What do you want to draw today? "One of the painting instructors and the owner of this studio is named Gao Shan, an artist about 40 years old with a beard, who opened this studio because of painting.

This studio is different from other children's painting training institutions, most of the children's paintings in other studios give you a template or stick figure, let the child copy and color, with a fixed routine and thinking mode, and here is to let the child give full play to his imagination and observation, according to the ideas in his mind to create each work freely, the teacher will guide you. Su Xia took this seriously, and chose here without hesitation after the trial class.

Each painting class lasted from one to two hours, Xi Bao sat in front of the shelf or meditated or hooked or painted carefully, sitting for nearly two hours, and Su Xia sat in the rest area and waited quietly.

There are not only children here, but also adult painting enthusiasts, each in front of the easel carefully and attentively sketching their own works, the top floor after the renovation of the sun-facing floor-to-ceiling windows cast natural sunlight, quiet and warm.

Su Xia sat bored, looking at a lady in front of her who was about the same age as her painting, it was a work that had basically taken shape, a work of extremely brilliant colors painted by the main colors of red, yellow, orange and blue, a large red and yellow rendering, a large blue rendering, bright streets, red houses and trees, and a large blue sky...... The strong colors collided with the colorful, and the mood unconsciously became bright and comfortable, as if entering a fairy tale world, Su Xia looked at it in a daze, and slowly appreciated it.

Teacher Gao, who was guiding around the walk, saw Su Xia's boredom and interest, and slipped to Su Xia's side and asked, "This is good-looking?" ”

"Well, yes, I've never seen anything so rich in color but I think it's beautiful."

"Yes, he uses high-purity colors to show a strong contrast between warm and cold, it seems that you like bright colors, haha......, this is Avremov's fog series."

Su Xia was very unfamiliar with this name and smiled, "I only know Monet and Picasso." ”

"It's so hard to remember the name, I can't remember it if I don't do it, he was after Picasso, and he was also a master of Impressionism, and most of his representative works are in this style."

"Oh, I've got a lot of knowledge."

"Would you like to try it?" Teacher Gao suggested.

"Me?" Su Xia asked in surprise, "Can I?" Can you draw like her? Su Xia looked at the painting in front of him.

For Su Xia, who had never touched a paintbrush, this was simply unattainable and unimaginable for her.

"Everybody can be a painter and paint what you want."

"But I don't even have the most basic foundation in painting." Born in the 80s, Su Xia's family did not provide her with the conditions to learn these arts when she was a child.

"You can try, there is no rating for art, it is all based on the heart."

Su Xia was a little shaken, so every time she sat with Xibao like this, she consumed a lot of precious time, and suddenly had the urge to pick up the paintbrush.

"Do I need to get a separate card?"

"No need, you can try it first, you can draw Chen Hanyu's card together."

"Okay, I'll try." Su Xia immediately agreed. The children's card is more expensive than the adult card according to the class time, and the adult single lesson is more expensive, but the package will be very cheap, so many adults have a day in the studio.

Since Xibao has been in class, Su Xia, who has accompanied Xibao to class, has learned various skills such as roller skating, hip-hop dance, Go, and programming, as if she has lived her childhood again.

Susha began to draw, a completely foreign and novel territory to her. First of all, we will start by placing the drawing board, understanding the color palette, and classifying the various brushes...... At the beginning, starting from the copying of the work, Su Xia also chose a work by Avremov, which is a sunflower flower arrangement, Su Xia really likes it, thinking that if it can really be painted well, it can be hung at home as a debut work for a long time.

According to the guidance of Teacher Gao, Su Xia started with the size, found the center point, picked up the pencil and drew the outline, and if the drawing was not good, erase and redraw the outline...... As Susha slowly immersed herself in it, engrossed in every detail of the painting, she had forgotten everything around her and entered a whole new world......
