When Gu Weijing was drawing characters on paper.

Komatsu Taro is also preparing a character sketch, and the atmosphere is much more romantic, at least that's what he thinks in his heart.

Today is the Sakai family's family dinner day.

Komatsu-san, who claims to be the son-in-law of the Sakai family, has already booked a seat in the restaurant early.

Kokotxa, a well-known seafood restaurant in Yangon's affluent Ahole district, offers traditional and decidedly authentic Spanish flavours that are perfectly suited to please your future mother-in-law.

Kokotxa is a 300-year-old upscale restaurant based in San Sebastian, Spain's oldest gastronomic city, and has been voted a Michelin star and one of the world's top 50 restaurants for many years.

However, the Asian branch in Yangon's affluent area has only recently opened and has only been awarded one Michelin star for tires.

But in Yangon, five people spend nearly $800 per person on a meal, which is already a number that makes the hearts of most people in the country stop.

Everything was perfect.

The setting of the restaurant is great, the music is good, the white wine is mellow, the fruity peach sponge cake is sweet, and the venison is tender.

It may be a pity that Kenta Komatsu doesn't like the olive oil and garlic flavor in the red shrimp with beetroot and the sticky gazpacho of appetizers, but his mother-in-law, Mrs. Sakai, is quite happy to eat it.

generally

This meal, Kenta Komatsu was extremely satisfied.

He is a perfectionist and has carefully selected the cars he rents at the rental car after getting off the plane. The MercS65, a Mercedes-Benz S-Class specially tuned by the AMG Racing Factory, does not have the ostentatiousness of Ferrari and Rolls-Royce, but is dignified, muscular and not greasy, showing his image as a young and mature and reliable good man.

At what age, it will be a plus in the eyes of a girl of any character.

The only thing that's not perfect is.

Katsuko Sakai was a little absent-minded when she was eating.

Komatsu changed several topics at the dinner table, from diving in the Maldives to Swarovski's new ruby tiara, and even said a few words about RB and Spain's national sport, F1.

From travel, jewelry, racing......

Komatsu did his best to slack off his whole body, and his witty words were full of beads.

Mrs. Sakai listened with relish, and Sakai was also yearning, and even Professor Sakai, who was generally not interested in these topics, expressed some of his own opinions.

But only Katsuko Sakai showed a very cold feeling,

Except for the occasional polite smile to the waitress and the chef who came to thank him, the whole person was always outside the restaurant.

She's like an outsider.

"Katsuko, you can't draw good works just by staying in your own world, and if you find that your works are too cold, you should actively experience life."

Professor Kazunari Sakai, who was sleek, swallowed the last piece of venison that the Spanish chef wanted for with a red beard in his mouth.

Maybe it's because it's pitiful to see Komatsu-san fighting against the air alone for a long time, or maybe it's because his wife viciously kicked her husband with high heels under the table and finally broke through the fat defense on his calves.

Anyway, Professor Sakai tapped the table with his knuckles, reminding his daughter that he had been snubbing the lunch guests for a long time.

"Oh, okay."

Katsuko Sakai replied, her eyes still fixed on the thing in her hand.

It was a folder with a beautiful cover, and there were various printed photographs and illustrations of oil paintings.

That's a collection of Katsuko Sakai's works.

She is also of university age this year.

There are many people in the world who have studied art, and there are very few people who can be admitted to art academies, especially well-known art academies.

If you want to apply for the most famous art schools in the world, in addition to cultural courses and some professional exams, every student who wants to apply must prepare a set of portfolios that can impress the professor.

However, this is a requirement for the average student.

To be able to win an award is the best collection of works, with the awards that Katsuko Sakai has won among young painters since she was a child, and Kazunari Sakai's reputation in the art world.

Even if she doesn't have a portfolio, she basically belongs to the point where the world's famous schools are at her disposal.

Professor Kazunari Sakai understands.

The reason why Katsuko has been a little troubled when she has been sorting out her portfolio recently has nothing to do with applying to schools, she is just wrestling with herself.

She was not satisfied with her work.

From Sakai's point of view, his daughter has entered a painting bottleneck.

Her proficiency in painting skills has almost reached the point where it is unique among young people, perhaps no one before or after her is a bit exaggerated, at least much better than her own age.

He can proudly say that in many ways, his daughter Katsuko Sakai has reached the level of a professional painter.

But Katsuko Sakai is a little girl after all.

In the parts other than the technique, the mood of the work is too cold.

No, it would be more accurate to say not cold, but pale.

In the field of art, coldness is also contagious.

A painter who is truly good at expressing this emotion is able to freeze the viewer's heart with cold brushstrokes, but Katsuko Sakai is not so cold, but because she has been immersed in the world of painting since she was a child, and lacks experience, which makes her seem empty.

She pays too much attention to painting and is detached from life, which makes the brush pale.

At this point, Katsuko Sakai is not as good as Kenta Komatsu, who has more life experience.

"Katsuko, don't think about painting, take Tsunamasa and Komatsu seniors at night, and you young people go rowing on the Yangon River together, it seems that there will be a fireworks show, for fresh air?"

Mrs. Sakai scratched the glass with her fingertips and frowned and made a suggestion.

"Just let Gangchang go."

Katsuko Sakai still kept her head down.

"Katsuko?" Mrs. Sakai's tone became a little harsh.

Komatsu Taro wasn't too angry.

Sakai Katsuko's personality is exactly what his father likes, as long as he is not distracted by other men like Gu Weijing, he will not be too jealous.

His father, Kenta Komatsu, believed that women were a man's medal.

In this era, girls who can immerse themselves in the art world are very face-saving for their families.

is not a vine or branch, which is the bearing that an artist's daughter-in-law should have.

Since Katsuko likes art, Komatsu also has other killer features.

The art girl has the opening way of the art girl.

He left the restaurant under the pretext of going to the bathroom, opened the trunk of the car, took out roses and a sketch from the trunk.

This is a sketch he drew for Katsuko Sakai.

In the sketch, Katsuko Sakai is wearing the traditional dress he wore when he first met on the first day, and her figure is graceful, sexy, and pure.

Although Komatsu Taro is already a well-known young painter, sketching is not his forte.

Influenced by his father, he likes to use strong colors to express emotions, especially in oil paintings, using large blocks of mystic paint.

Colorful color blocks always infect the audience more than cold lines.

It was with this hand that he drew "Sunrise Osaka", which won the grand prize in the amateur category at the Yokohama Art Triennial.

Paying attention to color and ignoring the line of sight, there must be a reason why he is not hard enough.

Sketching is the most important and precise, and it is difficult to find another way, so you can only rely on practice.

Ölgemälde (Oil Painting) is one of Austria's leading art magazines.

"Oil Painting" is to a painter what a billboard chart is to a pop singer, it is a style for commenting on young artists, covering the art market, opinions, styles, buyer's guides and other sections.

It will rate a painter on a star rating from the point of view of the collection of their works.

The lowest is one star, which is worth waiting and seeing.

The highest is seven stars, a masterpiece that has been handed down from generation to generation.

The last East Asian painter under the age of 30 who was beaten with more than four stars was Cao Lao's youngest apprentice, Tang Ning (four and a half stars).

The last time to get a seven-star investment rating was in 1967, when Andy Warhol was critically ill by gunshot, the original rating of six and a half stars was upgraded to seven stars.

And after the turn of the millennium, Andy Warhol's works repeatedly set auction house records for hundreds of millions of dollars, which undoubtedly proved the magazine's vision.

When Komatsu Taro won an award at an art exhibition, the magazine's chief writer once criticized his "Sunrise Osaka" as too opportunistic.

Although it has a certain amount of contagion, it is just a madman who whispers inexplicably at will.

In the buyer's guide, Komatsu Taro was only given a one-star rating (worth waiting and seeing).

But Komatsu Taro doesn't care at all.

The young oil painters who can appear in this kind of well-known art magazine are generally young professors from various art academies and Mesozoic painters in their thirties, and the general evaluation is not higher than two stars (buy carefully), and young oil painters who can get a three-star recommendation (with a certain appreciation potential) can basically sell their oil paintings for more than 300,000 US dollars.

At his age, to be able to appear in such a magazine, even if he was scolded for his blood, he was still stained with the light that his father was a great painter.

Choose a sketch that you are not very good at, and Komatsu also has his own careful thoughts in it.

He felt that oil painting was not as ambiguous as sketching, especially when he used a pen to outline the curves of Katsuko Sakai's figure in his mind, and Komatsu could feel the almost substantive touch.

When drawing,

In his mind, he was playing over and over again the picture of Jack sketching the human body of the meat in "Titanic", and he had a strong sense of substitution.

If Schillin Dion had Schille Dion by his side singing a song My Heart Lasts Forever, he would have been jacked up.

Maybe some girls are not interested in jewelry and jewelry, but they are willing to take the time to paint a picture for you, and such a mind is very romantic.

Many poor boys in the Academy of Fine Arts are cute and beautiful schoolgirls who rely on this hand.

Sakai Katsuko is not a simple soft girl without knowledge, and Komatsu himself is not a poor boy from Yangon like Gu Weijing.

He is rich and talented, and he is willing to spend time with girls.

If you casually glance at the jealous eyes of the beautiful ladies in the hotel and look at Katsuko Sakai, you can find that these people are from the bottom of their hearts, and they long for a boyfriend like Komatsu to have them.

They just hated that they couldn't swallow Katsuko Sakai in one bite and replace it with themselves.

Even so, when Komatsu Taro returned with sketches and roses, the most beautiful of them all, the hostess, secretly wrote the phone number on a tissue with lipstick and handed it to Komatsu.

She hinted that she didn't care that the other party had a girlfriend, and if the handsome guy was willing to paint such a picture for her, she would do anything.

"Hmph, one of my paintings."

With his demonstrated potential and Komatsu Gallery's connections, most art critics are optimistic about the investment prospects of his work.

A signed painting by Komatsu can easily sell for more than $1,000, and there is even more room for growth in the future.

He wouldn't mind playing a dangerous emotional game with them when he had free time, but for now.

It's better to concentrate on putting Katsuko Sakai, a beautiful butterfly, in her own bottle.

"Katsuko, it's a gift I've got for you." Komatsu Taro said.

He handed the sketch to Katsuko Sakai along with the roses.

"It's so good, I have a heart. Yicheng, you really weren't so romantic back then. ”

Mrs. Sakai was very moved.

Many artists are immersed in their own world and don't want to come out, and they can be like Taro, who is willing to put their hearts into pleasing their daughter, has a good artistic prospect, and can achieve mutual success with Katsuko.

It's definitely a lot better than any other messy person.

"Thank you."

Katsuko Sakai took the painting, and her eyes fell on the sketch.

She was also silent for a few seconds, as if she was a little moved.

Just when Sakai Tsunamasa thought that his sister was really moved by the other party.

Katsuko Sakai suddenly handed the painting to her father.

"What do you want to do for me?"

Professor Sakai was a little confused.

"I feel that Komatsu has drawn at least three more vertebrae, and the muscles in his arms are also distorted, and the length of the knuckles is not very coordinated, especially the index finger, which is about a centimeter longer than the other knuckles."

Katsuko Sakai smiled apologetically at Komatsu, but there was still a clear sense of detachment in her tone that she was only willing to discuss art.

Komatsu Taro's face was embarrassed, and Mrs. Sakai shook her head helplessly.

The good atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly changed from charming and ambiguous to the nature of an academic seminar.

"It's great for a painter of his age to be able to paint like this. Katsuko, you know that looking at a painting is not the same as painting, it is easy to find shortcomings when you look at a painting, but it is difficult to perfect a painting. Unless it's a youkai who knows everything about muscles, no painter at this age can paint it completely, Komatsu can't, you can't, and even I can't do it now. ”

Professor Sakai stroked his forehead helplessly.

"In fact, in many cases, it is enough to pursue the overall harmony and beauty. Completely physiologically as accurate as a photograph, I don't think there are more than five painters in history who have been able to understand this step of the human body. Strictly speaking, there are all kinds of problems in those famous paintings, and even the master Ingres has made many similar mistakes. ”

Professor Sakai looked at his daughter, who was still frowning and thinking, and held back the second half of the sentence.

He believes that people who are completely immersed in the world of painting will find it difficult to break through after a certain point.

Without life understanding, there is no artistic life.

Van Gogh's life hardships have in a sense made his own art.

While it's cruel, it's true.

It's useless to talk about this kind of thing, he brought his children to Yangon this time, in fact, he wanted Sakai Katsuko to have more contact with the outside world.

He's waiting,

Katsuko Sakai needed an opportunity to have an epiphany for herself.
