Chapter 62: Anna's Anger

The last frame, with its back to the viewer, was also directly flipped over by Anna at this moment.

"Jane Arnold, right?"

This time she didn't even mean to ask Thomas who the author of the work was, so she said in a very firm tone.

"Of course, in the world of illustration, who else but this famous old artist's work is worth millions of dollars?"

Anna looked at the illustration in the frame.

Anna, who criticized Van Doorne mercilessly, also became softer when describing this legendary old artist.

"Mr. Jane Arnaud is known as the "Warm Christmas Tree" in the painting world, and his works have warmed generations of children."

"There's nothing left to say about this painting that needs to be judged by art critics. Everything that the painter wants to convey to people has been said in painting. ”

The last painting that appeared in the eyes of people turned out to be a crayon drawing.

If colored pencils are in the audience's impression of primary school students' novice graffiti, then crayon drawings are kindergarten toys.

But what this painting presents to people is not naïve.

It's childlike fun.

Warmth is the theme of this painting.

The entire Batman series of stories, except for the ability to make money, is a dark and gloomy adult black fairy tale style.

Just as the literal translation of "Gotham" in Gotham is a city of fools and a city of sin.

This crayon painting is a completely different style,

The style of the pen is gentle and delicate, and the horizon behind it is a red sun frozen on the sea level, which is like the sun at dusk and the dawn before dawn.

Although the sky will be dark and bright, the tone of the whole illustration is not gloomy at all.

There is a brilliant halo that drives out the darkness, and it is Batman, or Mr. Hyperion, in the batcape, who illuminates the city.

Jane Arnaud cleverly replaced the cheesy brandish-brandishing Franklin bill in Thomas's hand with a flaming fire.

Only a half-burned bill is left in the corner of the frame.

The flame in Batman's hand in the picture is rendered with various warm colors of crayons, bursting with a warm and dreamy luster, which makes people can't help but think of the match that burned in the hand of the little match girl in Hans Christian Andersen's pen many years ago.

Someone in the comment section commented.

"Although I don't know much about art, this painting seems to warm my whole heart."

"Which one do you prefer over the colored pencil drawings in the previous photo?"

"It's pretty much the same, but if I were Mr. Hyperion, I'd love this painting even more, it's so well conceived and intended."

"For the illustration, this one is perfect, hopefully—" Anna looked at Thomas to the side.

"Of course, in addition to the one million dollars I gave to the children's foundation under the name of Mr. Jane Arnault, I will also give another ten million dollars to set up my own children's charitable foundation."

Without waiting for Anna to finish, Thomas went straight to the interface.

He really liked the illustration.

At the moment of receiving this painting, Thomas not only liked it, but it was simply an extreme surprise.

Fine arts and art are not critical.

The main thing is that this picture is too suitable for his show.

After becoming famous, he was scolded for relying on the eyeball effect, and there were many people who started with a local tyrant who had no brains to scatter coins, of course, this is also a fact.

Now, the composition and intention of this painting alone is a perfect interpretation of the value of my own video.

Not only does it cleverly fit the theme of Batman, but it also fits Thomas's channel slogan "Share the interesting world with everyone".

At least for Thomas himself, to spend millions of dollars on such a painting. Compared to spending tens of millions of dollars to buy Gauguin, Monet, Van Gogh, and Picasso, it is much more meaningful and worthwhile.

After a while, he used this illustration as his profile picture on YouTube and Twitter.

The comment section exploded again all of a sudden.

Mr. Hyperion has always been known for his generosity, but for the first time, he suddenly decided to donate 10 million dollars after looking at a painting.

"Shock, this is the charm of a great artist."

"Mr. Hyperion is wonderful!"

"Come on!! I'm sticking with you. ”

"It's no better than the stupid [beep-beep] group of people holding spinach ads and gambling live in front of millions of fans on Twich (the largest game live streaming platform in Europe and the United States) next door."

……

"I think that's what the old artists expect from you."

Anna stared at the crayon drawing for a few seconds.

"The value of the illustration is its backstory, and while you're not Roosevelt, if you keep going. I think one day this painting will actually be worth a million dollars. ”

"Miss Yelena, how do you want to score each of the three paintings? I think the audience is looking forward to your evaluation. ”

Thomas asked.

"Seven points, ten points"

"The first colored pencil drawing that came out of the first one, although there were obvious muscle deformations and pen mistakes compared to the second work, it was still a good enough illustration. I can give it seven points.

As for Jane Arnold's work, both in terms of idea and composition, I can hardly imagine a better crayon drawing than this one, almost perfect, so I give it ten points. ”

Anna's fingers tapped lightly on the first colored pencil drawings and Jane Arnold's crayons.

"As for this work......"

She looked at the painting for a long time.

"Will you give it another perfect 10?"

Thomas asked.

For some reason, he could feel that Anna had clearly shown an undue preference for the illustration in her hand.

But at this moment, when grading, it was the same as when he just admired the painting, and the other party seemed to fall into an inexplicable unhappiness in the end?

"No...... I can say very clearly that I love this work, but this artist doesn't deserve my perfect marks. She sneered.

"Why?"

Many viewers who watched the video remembered that scene at this moment-

When the other party looks at the painting with a magnifying glass, the last expression that seems to be between looking at a boyfriend who has been abandoned all the time or an unreasonable madman.

and the last comment of the judge's young lady - "Hopeless fool." ”

This made everyone wonder whether the other party liked or disliked the illustration.

But in the subsequent recording process, didn't the judge in a wheelchair always show appreciation and praise?

"First of all, I deducted points emotionally. I don't see any emotion in this painting other than seriousness. But when it comes to illustration, emotions aren't really the key. People are used to referring to illustrators as drivers who take passengers to their destinations, and drivers don't need much extra emotion. ”

Anna placed the colored pencil illustration she had been holding back on the table.

"Actually, compared to the other five works, the mood of this painting is not bad. Even if it is unpretentious earnestness, it is better than the picture of Mr. Van Doorne, who is obviously emotionless, but behaves like the babbling of a madman. ”

"Its emotion is only lacking in comparison to Jane Arnaud's crayon illustrations that make people look at the warmth of the heart."

Anna's tone suddenly became colder: "What really makes me unacceptable, incomprehensible, and intolerable is the painter's treatment of this painting. ”

"The painter has shown great skill in all the most difficult details, but he has done something that would have made me want to go crazy."

"In order to present the best results of water-soluble colored pencil drawings, painters generally use special special fine grain watercolor paper, even if it is cheaper ordinary watercolor paper is not unacceptable."

Anna pointed to another colored pencil drawing. "For example, this painting is drawn on very professional water-soluble colored pencil paper, which is professional."

"Ordinary watercolour paper is not expensive, and even the best thickened watercolour wick paper from England costs only about 80 euros for a pack of 10 sheets. On average, each piece of paper is not as expensive as a burger. ”

"And what about this painter? It turned out to be the most ordinary student sketch paper. Hell, why didn't he just take the printer paper and draw it instead of being cheap? ”

"Sketch paper, although it does not have almost no ability to hang lead like ordinary printing paper, it is very delicate. In addition to the advantage of being cheap, it is not suitable for professional color pencil painting. The artist did a very good job, but that didn't prevent a lot of avoidable white noise in the final picture. ”

Anna's fingers pinched together.

She has an obsessive-compulsive disorder in art. Looking at this piece of paper, it is like watching a beautiful woman who has captivated the country and the city but has been artificially lit with a few moles.

"What's more, what kind of irresponsible fool painter would abandon this masterpiece of art after painting it?

I didn't see him take any pains to protect the painting, not only did he not cover it with protective film, but he didn't even spray the most basic fixing liquid, and it was mailed away. ”

"That's it—naked, naked, naked, and sent away by the artist in an envelope and mailed it irresponsibly!! When I looked with a magnifying glass, I saw at least five or more defacements caused by the friction between the pencil and the outside world during transportation. ”

"What kind of irresponsible fool is he?"

The more Anna spoke, the more angry she became, she could not tolerate such a blasphemy against art, and the Iceberg Lady almost turned into a volcano.

She was even gritting her silver teeth when she spoke last.

"Nine points, don't blame me, it's all that fool's doing."
