Chapter 8: The stage needs to be fought for by itself
If you have a foundation in art, that's a good thing, and you can skip many of the monotonous and boring exercises in the novice stage.
"Then let's start with sketching, first the object, then the person, and tonight we will draw this apple. Li asked, it's okay for you to sit here, you can get closer to me, don't be nervous. ”
Li Wen was indeed a little nervous, the woman he loved for the first time was so close, close enough to smell the nice smell of soap on her body, close enough to feel her temperature, and close enough to see the protruding cheekbones on her face.
She was too thin and had given too much to pursue her art.
Lee asked, his nose was a little sour.
Ruan Wen is a good woman, I must take good care of her and let her become famous.
"Whether you are painting people or paintings, it is very important to choose the angle, every different angle, the things drawn are different, almost everyone who studies art has heard the story of Leonardo da Vinci painting eggs, an ordinary egg can draw hundreds or thousands of different paintings, and the same is true for painting this apple."
Ruan Wen said as he gently grasped Li Wen's wrist from behind, and the green silk hung on his shoulder.
The neck was crispy and itchy, and it was a very strange feeling, which made Li Wen tremble uncontrollably.
"Relax, don't be nervous, let's draw the first stroke, from here...... Draw it down with one stroke and don't stop...... Draw a second stroke, from below...... The third stroke is going to be exquisite, this apple, we have to outline it in three strokes, like this......"
The tip of the pen wanders over the surface of the paper, and in the rustling sound, the outline of an apple leaps onto the paper.
"Li asked, let's try it for you."
"Yes, okay."
The trajectory of the pen tip had already been deeply rooted in Li Wen's mind, so he only needed to make an exact copy, and the three strokes outlined the exact same outline of the apple, which was exactly the same.
"It's incredible, Li asked, you are really talented."
It is rare in the world to be able to master the essence of sketching so quickly, even if Ruan Wen, whose painting attainments have reached an unprecedented height, it took him half a year to master this technique.
In the face of Ruan Wen's praise, Li Wen just smiled slightly, the creation god is omnipotent, and in addition, it is Li Wen's talent to make perfect replication, and it is not a big deal.
"It's a pity, Li asked you to have such a talent, but you can't be a painter, you shouldn't be like this, and the world shouldn't be like this."
"That's right, Miss Ruan, you're right, the world really shouldn't be like this. But there will only be one protagonist for every million people, and the stage that belongs to the protagonist needs to be actively fought for. ”
"I know what you mean, but ......"
"Miss Ruan, you listen to me first, in three days, there will be a charity art exhibition in Civic Square, which is to make you the protagonist and walk on the world stage."
"This stage, it doesn't belong to me......"
Ruan Wen lowered her head gloomily, for so many years, she has participated in nearly 100 art exhibitions, but no one cares about the masterpieces she has worked hard to paint, and she has hit the wall again and again, making her head bleed and disheartened.
If it weren't for the stubbornness in her bones that supported her, she would have given up a long time ago.
"Miss Ruan, why bother to be self-conscious, sincere, as long as you work hard, try, don't give up, don't admit defeat, then you will definitely succeed, there will be a day when you will become famous, believe me."
"Hmm."
Ruan Wen nodded heavily, a smile on his face, "Thank you, Li asked." ”
"Don't be so polite, who made us old neighbors, you still taught me to paint," Li Wen glanced out the window, it was quiet outside, only the street lamp in the distance gave a dim glow.
"It's not early, I won't bother you, Miss Ruan, we'll see you tomorrow night."
After Li Wen went home, he had a good night's sleep.
For the next two days, Li Wen came to Ruan Wen's house every night to learn painting.
When the clock shop closed on the evening of the third day, Li Wen specially asked Uncle Xin for half a day's leave, and the next morning he wanted to accompany Ruan Wen to participate in the charity art exhibition, which was Ruan Wen's opportunity, and it was also Li Wen's opportunity, and it was Li Wen's opportunity to win Ruan Wen's heart.
Early in the morning, after Li Wen got up, he took out the new clothes he had prepared in advance and packed them himself.
Then, he knocked on the door next door.
"Miss Ruan, are you up?"
"Hmm...... Lee asked you to wait a minute......"
Soon after, the door opened, revealing Nguyen Ven's sleepy-eyed face and hair as if it had been bombed by an airplane.
"Miss Ruan, you ...... You won't forget about today, will you? ”
"That's not it...... It's just me ......"
"Oh, don't say it, hurry up and clean up, there's still time, I'll help you."
Ruan Wen's house is not very messy, and the items are placed in a fixed position, so it is not troublesome to find.
"Li asked, which painting do you think I should bring better?" Ruan Wenxiu's eyebrows tightened, looking at the treasured masterpieces hesitantly.
"You don't need to think about it, just pick your most proud work, there are no requirements for today's charity art exhibition, the only restriction is that the number of paintings on display cannot exceed three."
"However, these paintings are the ones I am most proud of."
“……”
Many people have choice disorder, especially when there are multiple choices that they want, and they can't pay attention to it, just like women always don't know which dress is the most beautiful.
"Then I'll help you choose, Miss Ruan, you'd better ...... yourself a little first," Li Wen looked at Ruan Wen's messy hair pointedly.
"Ah, excuse me...... Then bother you. ”
Troublesome?
Of course, the same thing is not troublesome for Li Wen.
He picked three at random, wrapped them in a soft cloth, and received them in a rectangular box, and was done.
After Ruan Wen finished washing, he ate a piece of bread and paid for it, and then sat on the back seat of the bicycle with the wrapped three paintings, and Li Wen drove her all the way to the civic square.
After they handed over the painting to the person in charge of the exhibition, the long wait began.
"Li asked, did you say that someone would buy my paintings today?"
Nguyen Van sat on the stone steps and looked at the crowded center of the square, standing up and sitting down from time to time.
"Yes, your painting will definitely sell, I promise." Li Wen looked at Ruan Wen's white and chapped lips, and handed her the thermos cup he brought from home, "Come, take a sip of hot water first, and I'll go over there for a while." ”
After leaving Ruan Wen's field of vision, Li Wen came to the phone booth on the street, took out Chen Jiahao's business card, and made a call.
"Hey, Mr. Chen, I'm Li Wen, you've already arrived at Civic Square...... Miss Nguyen has three paintings, namely 'Spring', 'Sea of Clouds', and 'Mountains'...... Yes, anonymously purchased under the name of 'Painter'. ”
