Chapter 208: You Can't Draw, Learn Watercolor First

He found that many foreigners liked to eat at the same restaurant of their choice. But Chen Xing pursues the principle of 'eating less and tasting more', and he likes to go to different restaurants to find different flavors.

And it is precisely the diverse decoration of French restaurants, and every time you change restaurants, it is a different atmosphere.

It's just that the restaurant is quite expensive, and it is not as affordable as eating bread in a café. Chen Xing has never been here here, and he expects it to be similar.

found a nearby Western restaurant, and the waiter took Chen Xing to a position near the window according to Chen Xing's wishes.

He likes to see people outside from this perspective. The same street, but with different people walking on it, so it changes every moment, and sometimes an inconspicuous corner, just because of a handsome guy or a beautiful woman, can produce a beautiful work.

As the two were eating, Dellin said, "You seem to like street photography?" ”

"Well, strange beauties are my muse, and photographing them will improve my skills." Dellin was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

"Yes, yes, that's what I thought." I learned what I learned, and he said the same when he went to photograph other women in the future, Ou Baobao, you are my muse, and shooting you will improve my photography skills...... It's an instant of art.

At this time, Ellijie also sent a message, asking Chen Xing to meet on the weekend two days later. Then I also sent some words of thanks.

She is now in a critical period of transformation, quitting the music industry to concentrate on running her own dance studio, and this sudden fire on the Internet has helped her a lot and added a lot of help.

Dellin didn't know who Chen Xing was talking to before, but he immediately became jealous when he found out. He was too obsessed with Ellijie when he was a child, and all French children during that time had only one idol, that is, Ellijie, it can be said that Ellijie made many post-90s children draw maps in bed for the first time.

But until now, he hadn't spoken a few words to Ellie.

"What did she talk to you about?"

"It's nothing, it's just some thanks...... Chen Xing looked up and saw Dellin's jealous eyes when he was cutting the steak, and hurriedly said,

"What kind of eyes are you, you don't think she and I will have anything, will you? She can be my mother. ”

"Hey, hey, you have to be respectful of Ellie, she's only 37 years old!"

"Uh, is there a difference?" Chen Xing's mother is also very young, and she has always been pampered by her father when she married him, either eating melon seeds in the store or walking with her sisters, and she looks much more beautiful than the current Ellijie.

I didn't know what to send to my mother this time, but now it seems that I should send a set of top-notch cosmetics.

"You little kid!" Dellin was jealous because Chen Xing was chatting with his idol before, but now he is unhappy because Chen Xing doesn't like Ellie, and the fans' thoughts are really unimaginable.

Chen Xing suddenly smiled and said: "Today I only learned that Ellie Jie is so popular in France, I thought your favorite female star was Sophie Marceau." ”…

"She is also my idol, and I often collaborated in the past few years, but now I see her on TV less and less, you really miss it, she is a very humorous person."

"Have you quit the entertainment industry?" Dellin shook his head and said, "No, people have been in the entertainment industry for so many years, can't they enjoy it, why, you are also her fan?" Want her phone? ”

"No, it's just that her fame is much bigger than Ellijie in our country." Chen Xing shook his head and asked again,

"Are you going to come with me after that? Ellie asked me to come out for dinner in two days. Dellin was a little impressed, but gave up.

"She asked you to pay for that photography, you kid is really lucky, you made so much money in commercial photography for the first time in your life, it's much better than when I first debuted." Not all foreigners are rich and make more money.

Dellin graduated from Paris, and his income in the first month was only what he now earned for a photo, and he was still a student at a top university, otherwise it would have been even lower.

The monthly salary of an ordinary Frenchman is actually only 1700-2400, and almost half of ordinary people have a monthly income of less than 2,000 euros.

There are still a lot of converts into Huaxia coins. But the consumption in France is also high, take the Coke that is available all over the world, for example, a 200ml coke in China sells for three yuan, but it costs one euro to buy it in a French supermarket.

This is much more expensive than in China. Chen Xing calculated in his heart that if he added the income that Ellijie was about to give him, he would be able to live a life of luxury in France again...... To get rich, you still have to rely on windfalls.

Just relying on the three melons and two dates earned by being a grandmother, you can't achieve financial freedom in a lifetime. After separating from Dellin, Chen Xing took a taxi back to school.

I guess I haven't seen Dellin for a long time, this guy went to the UK to record a food show, and I don't know what to think, isn't Britain a food desert?

A food show even invites international photographers to participate? It's also weird. ……………… This afternoon there is an oil painting class, which starts at one o'clock and ends at half past two, after which the students can go home or continue to create their own paintings in the school's studio.

Chen Xing studied two classes before, and the teacher knew that Chen Xing was a transfer student and re-said a very basic course, he was a 36-year-old young painter with a good personality, and the paintings he created could sell for 600,000 yuan internationally.

He revealed to himself that three years ago his paintings had sold for only $10,000...... I don't know who the lucky person who bought the painting is, but this investment is simply a big profit.

The oil painting course is mainly practice, and the teacher basically only does demonstrations. He was walking around the whole class, and from the second class onwards, he liked to stand behind Chen Xing and watch him draw, which made Chen Xing feel a lot of pressure, but because of this, his skills improved by leaps and bounds.

Originally, there was a basic foundation of thangka, sketching and everything, and then there was a talent for color.

This talent can be applied to photography, but it can also be used to create a painting, after all, painting and color are inherently a perfect match.

The teacher suddenly asked, "Xing, who is your favorite painter?" ”…

"It's Monet, teacher."

"Monet, you can see that you are very talented in color, although you started to learn painting very late, but there is no one in school who can compare with you in the use of light and shadow." Monet is one of the representatives and founders of Impressionism, and is also recognized as a master of color, light and shadow.

"But your oil brush is too sharp, your current landscape should be very gentle, but it has become a cliff here for you, you may have to put down the brush first, you have painted watercolor in the last month."

"Good teacher." The young painter nodded slightly. Chen Xing did not reveal what skills he had learned before, but there is no doubt that he has a certain foundation in painting, but he does not know much about oil painting.

His strong brushstrokes are well suited to modern paintings, but if you want to learn Monet, or Impressionism, you have to get rid of the hard-nosed brushstrokes.

Watercolor is the best fit. It is not only suitable for creating impressionist paintings, but also suitable for demoting Chen Xing's sharp brushstrokes.

The teacher walked around twice, walked to the stage at the end of the day, and said, "Students, class is over, if you have any follow-up questions, please contact me online, there is no class for me tomorrow, I wish you a happy weekend...... By the way, by the way, in the first class next week, we draw the human body, and the model is not easy to please, so don't skip class. "Drawing the human body?

Chen Xing looked up at the teacher, his heartbeat accelerated slightly, he hadn't drawn it before. However, the surrounding classmates didn't react much, and the classmates around Chen Xing were still complaining: "It's over, let's skip class." Chen Xing was curious why he said this, and asked, "What's wrong?" He saw that Chen Xing was asking, so he said: "Actually, ......" There was a classmate next to him who hurriedly came over to stop him, and then quickly said to Chen Xing: "Brother brother! Don't ask, you'll know when the time comes, you're not learning to draw, you should be drawing the human body for the first time, right? Chen Xing blinked.

"Hmm.

"Then I can't tell you, but the first time I draw a human body, we still have to remind you that it's best to have a shot with your girlfriend before you come, so as not to make a fool of yourself, haha." It's a magical smile.

After saying that, they left class, as students majoring in oil painting, they had too much time in the studio, and they didn't have to come once every few days like Chen Xing.

Although there is no special major in oil painting in the school, many people who study oil painting will also choose public art design, fashion design and other majors.

After all, the teachers here are all very good, and all of them are internationally renowned painters. There were more than 30 people, and for a while, with Chen Xing, only eight students were left in the studio.

The classroom fell silent again, save for the occasional cough. Chen Xing moved his chair and continued to paint.

He has been painting this painting for three classes, and he will paint the human body in the next class, so Chen Xing wants to finish the current painting today.

He painted a landscape that he had seen before, with a road on the right and a gentle spring on the left, and the mountains in the distance seemed to have overturned a paint plate, and many colors were mixed on it, but it was very harmonious.

If you look closely, you can see the movement of the leaves. And the pigment is used very solidly, which is a habit that Chen Xing inherited from the thangka.

Thanks to the free supply of paint in the school, otherwise he would have to spend half as much on paint as others.

Eight people also left one after another, and they stood for a moment when they passed by Chen Xing.

"Who did you study?"

"I didn't learn anyone, I ...... blind painting" They had never seen this kind of oil painting, and they thought it was very novel, and they also heard the teacher say that Chen Xing's painting was very good in class...... I didn't think it was good, but the whole was messed up.

They didn't know that this was Chen Xing's first time drawing something. The second one is expected to be much better. At five o'clock, he was almost finished drawing, but a phone rang and the caller ID was ...... Pepper?

Oh, there's still work to be done in a while! I almost forgot.
