"Painting a sketch in which the mood continues to reach the point of exhaustion (consummation) during the creation period, or briefly touches the level of the wonderful brushwork."

Although I have long known the content of the realm breaking task of the sketch technique.

Every time he turned on the system, Gu Weijing's gaze would still stay on the task panel here for a long time.

True.

It seems that compared to the task of inheriting the master of Lv.5 in Chinese painting, which guides other painters to break through the Lv.5, the task of breaking through the realm of sketching does not have so many twists and turns.

It looks more straightforward.

It's just drawing.

And the system also generously gives a lot of freedom in the creative process.

There are not many requirements for the subject matter, and even as long as the creative process of the painting includes sketch elements.

If he wants, he chooses to paint oil paintings, watercolors, and even fusion paintings.

But Gu Weijing still noticed that the difficulty of completing the task of breaking the border of sketching should be higher than that of the task of breaking the boundary of Chinese painting.

It's even a lot higher.

The task of breaking the realm in Chinese painting is a jogging that has accumulated over time, which consumes mental effort, but how it should be completed is a clear thing.

He only needed to take the little whip and knock Gu Tongxiang hard, sneering and "popping" in the back.

forced the old man to run forward hard, and then waited for the gold coins to explode...... Uh, no, just the blast technique.

It's hard to say whether Old Man Gu is in pain or not.

Anyway, Gu Weijing himself is not too painful.

The task of breaking the border of sketching is more about one's own body, and it is a very intense weightlift.

He had to condense his emotions and burst them out like a flood that bursts a levee, with an indomitable momentum.

Break through the barrier in one fell swoop.

It seems that the realm breakthrough is close at hand, as long as the mood is right, he will be able to break through to the realm level of the third order of the profession at any time in the next second.

However.

It is precisely this simple emotional "rightness" that is difficult in practice.

That's a "wonderful pen"!

The emotional scale provided by the entire system is only second to the supreme evaluation of the legendary transcendent sainthood.

It's only one layer higher than the painstaking work.

But it's just a stone's throw away.

It is just a little more than the heart to feel (complete) than the heart, and the needle of the emotional table is a little more offset.

But the feeling of painting, and the intensity of the appeal of the whole work, are completely not in the same dimension.

Evaluate paintings that have reached the level of emotions that the heart feels.

Gu Weijing can't be said to be easy to come by now, but it is not too difficult to complete.

Even at the level of fullness, as long as he thinks a lot, perceives more, and fully immerses his mind and spirit in the painting, he can often draw it.

It's time to work hard...... The difficulty rises like a cliff in an instant.

In the past ten years of Gu Weijing's life, he has painted a total of two.

Both paintings are extremely heavyweight, and both play a decisive role in key issues.

A pair of high-level people who conquered the entire Scholastic Group made him directly rush into the shortlist of this year's organizing committee for the top award in the illustration world, the Masters of Writing and Art Award.

And it will bring him a million-dollar share of income.

If it weren't for the illustrator's share of royalties and the value of a serious artist, the calculation would be different.

Otherwise a painting can make so much money.

It is already the official price for top painters of Sakai Issei and Downing to sell their paintings in large galleries.

The other is even more powerful.

conquered Cao Lao and won the approval of Cao Xuan.

even let the other party praise him on a world-renowned occasion such as the European Art Annual Conference, and spoke highly of him.

And the breakthrough task of sketching made him have to pull out a work of this level, or even higher-

Brilliant brushstrokes.

Just by listening to this name, you know the degree of bullishness in this realm.

It has almost become one of the highest praises of the level of painting throughout the ages.

In the process of painting the painters Gu Weijing saw in his life, he felt that it might be Cao Lao's "Buddha Protector Map" that was enough to make the monks fall into a state of meditation.

If you can't say it, you may have touched this mysterious level.

The mind is born.

One moment is three thousand worlds, one moment is eternal millennia.

I want to ask how I can get this kind of emotional experience that is as hot as being entangled in red dust and burning in flames, or as if I have escaped from the world and entered the vast cold fairyland above the Toad Palace.

Gu Weijing also had no clue at all.

And.

Gu Weijing knew very well that even if he asked Mr. Cao for advice on this issue, he would not get substantial help.

Cao Xuan stood very tall, so the old gentleman's guidance often made him suddenly enlightened.

The teaching of skills is even more outlined, and it hits the nail on the head.

Gu Weijing didn't doubt this at all after giving Cao Lao half a month to the project team in the Shwedagon Pagoda.

But.

If he succeeds in worshipping under Cao Laomen, perhaps the old man can give him countless guidance and tips in this life, but only emotions.

Emotions are an exception.

Emotions can't teach people, they can't be copied and pasted by ear, they can only be understood with their own hearts.

The truly strong and sincere emotions are the vines that wrap around every soul, the white and red mountain peach blossoms that are borne by love and hatred.

No two souls are the same.

Therefore, there are no two mountain peaches in the world that are exactly the same color and shape.

He is not Cao Xuan, he has not loved the people he has loved in his 100-year-old life, and he has not hated the people he has hated.

Gu Weijing had never suffered from Cao Lao, and it was hard to imagine that Cao Xuan was standing at the pinnacle and had a glimpse of the scenery of the mountains.

So he can never have Cao Lao's emotions.

It will never be possible to paint Cao Lao's works.

He can only paint his own paintings.

Comprehend, to feel the world, to laugh and cry first, and then to put pen to paper...... That's the essence of this sketching task.

Sketching is the most rigorous and regular technique in art, and the systematic interpretation is so abstract in deconstruction.

I can't say that I can't give him an ingenious feeling.

But it's really hard.

When Gu Wei entered Lv.5 through the epiphany of Chinese painting, although he obtained the greatest improvement in experience points in his life, it was also the most torturous.

This breakthrough of the spiritual epiphany stream, he has a little shadow in his heart.

If he had a choice, he still preferred to knock on Old Man Gu's slow progress that he could see and touch, rather than ascending to the sky in a step like a reborn after repeatedly feeling his state of mind.

It is not for nothing that the task of sketching to break through the realm seems to be much more "spiritual" than that of Chinese painting.

It is very clear on the system panel that in order to allow Gu Weijing to be able to control the technique in his palm, he will become a part of his body.

Each stage of the Realm Breaking Mission is a tempering, reviewing, and summarizing the entire major stage of the past.

More than seventy percent of his experience points in Chinese painting Lv.5 are the gifts brought by his journey of state of mind in the Botanical Garden, and the improvement of his strokes in front of rice paper.

There are only one or two thousand points on the top of the system.

Therefore, the system probably feels that he has a very solid path in the field of intangible things such as Chinese painting and art philosophy, and only needs to review and summarize and sort out himself in the process of guiding others.

Sketching, on the other hand, was directly filled with 6,000 points in terms of pen proficiency.

Therefore, it is logical to focus more on making up for the shortcomings of the "thinking" level.

It was discovered that the reason for this was that the experience points in his hands were actually enough to push the oil painting technique to the limit of Lv.5, but Gu Weijing felt that he was not in a hurry for the time being.

Anyway, there are already two border-breaking missions hanging there.

He could have figured out and painted on his own.

Step by step, in order to walk steadily.

Gu Weijing easily opened the intermediate treasure chest he had just obtained.

Bite.

【Muse's Blessing Candle】*1.

It seems that a quest has a limited number of knowledge cards that can be found in a treasure chest before it is completed.

Except for that time, he has never opened such a powerful knowledge card as "Pet Mind Reading".

Instead.

The goddess's blessed little candle has already saved up several of them.

Gu Weijing checked it and found that he still had a balance of 5673 free experience points, which gave him a little rich feeling that he had a lot of money.

That's right.

He remembered that he still had a money-burning skill that he had been putting on the back of his mind for a long time and was useless.

【Miscellaneous: Hundred Arts Tree (Legendary)】

[Miscellaneous: Hundred Art Tree: Provide a variety of (legendary) daily painting skills that painters need to master, the first 1000 free experience points can be watered once for the small tree, each time you water the hundred art tree, there is a small chance that the small tree will grow new branches. 】

This Baiyi tree that grows on the page of the system panel now only has a branch of the [Knife Painting Technique] on it.

It looks like a chopstick stuck in a silver tree trunk.

It's very unaesthetically pleasing.

Gu Weijing has already experienced the power of the legendary knife painting skill, and it is naturally needless to say how easy it is to use.

But the precondition for watering once with a thousand experience points is also an expensive flight.

Let Gu Weijing not make up his mind for a long time.

Today, he wants to try how small this so-called small probability can be.

Gu Weijing chose a watering icon next to the Baiyi tree

As a result, the system immediately popped up a relevant prompt -

Are you sure you want to spend 1000 free XP points to water the Baiyi Tree once?] The action will be irreversible. 】

[Yes / No]

made a decision, and Gu Weijing was no longer entangled in heartache.

He chose "Yes".

[You have consumed 1000 free XP points, and the current XP balance is 4673 points, please select the direction you want the Baiyi Tree to grow.] 】

Unexpectedly, the system popped up two more forked options.

Option 1 –

[Miscellaneous· With Graffiare, you'll be able to use any long, hard object and shape it as you paint, using an oil brush stick, a dinner knife, and even a comb. When the surface of the pigment is moistened, the color of the lower layer that has dried will be revealed through the scratches, which is suitable for creating brightness contrast and complementary color contrast. 】

[The current Graffiare skill level you have mastered is: None.] If irrigation is successful, the skill level will be upgraded to "Legendary", and the current irrigation success rate: 3.7%]

Option 2 –

[Miscellaneous finger painting method, fingers are the most natural painting tools of human beings, and they are also the most dexterous painting tools, although they may have the meaning of children's painting, but in the formal painting techniques of the past and present, painting with fingers has a place. When it comes to delicate edges and transitional pigments, the fingers have all the external tools to tickle through the boot, and the softness that can never be reached is far better than a brush and a knife. 】

[Your current finger application level is: Beginner.] If successfully irrigated, the skill level will be upgraded to "Legendary", and the current irrigation success rate is: 5.1%]

There are actually two directions of irrigation.

Gu Weijing carefully read the instructions on the system panel.

Scratch method, he only vaguely read some related content in the extended reading materials distributed by Dulwich Classroom. The derivation of the name of the technique, "Graffiare", is Italian.

Legend has it that it was invented by Leonardo da Vinci.

But the painting method invented by Leonardo da Vinci in the art world is similar to that of Emperor Qianlong in the Jiangnan food industry.

Some are reliable, most are not.

casually walked into a small restaurant in Jiangnan, and you could see on the wall that a certain dish was claimed to be a private visit to Qianlong Baiyu Longfu Weifu, who strayed into someone's house and ate the food on someone's table, so "Wow, wife...... Mrs. is too awesome, hurry up and give her name! "Qianlong, the whole family, didn't do anything all day, and just "wow" there.

Qianlong's level as an emperor and his attainments in artistic creation are not commented, and he is at least the Ninety-Five Supreme, and he has eaten the lord he has seen.

In common sense.

It should not be a high-intensity one-stop service for small people's homes throughout the year.

It's like Leonardo da Vinci was a master, of course, and maybe he was an all-rounder, but he couldn't invent painting every day.

Gu Weijing feels that the legend of the scratch method belongs to the unreliable category, because it is not the exclusive painting method of oil painting, and similar shadows can already be seen in tempera painting in the early Middle Ages.

However, the origin of the scratch method does not delay it as a good special painting method.

Unlike a knife painting, which can be used to paint an entire picture.

The knife is rough and the scratching method is fine.

The former is a nine-ring broadsword that can chop anything, while the latter is a delicate nose hair scissor, each with its own purpose.

The scratch method is only used to accurately characterize folds on hair and skin, as well as marks on flat surfaces such as walls and sidewalks.

And it is not Leonardo da Vinci who will carry it forward, but Rembrandt, the author of another masterpiece "Night Watch" on the same level as Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa" among the world's three famous paintings.

Rembrandt was very fond of using the special texture of scratches in his paintings.

This has almost become a hallmark of his signature painting style...... Use a hard pen to hang off the thick and moist surface pigment to modify the fluffy, neat or messy beard texture of the character; On the dark pigments, the thin comb is used to line the rubbing, revealing a black undertone, which in Rembrandt's works becomes a path in the shadows, a microwave on the sea, a fine spot of light between the leaves, and a ripple on the clouds in the sky.

He is the most perfect master of the entire era, depicting these small and delicate notches.

The scratch method bloomed in his hands with an unprecedented light.

The finger smearing method is very similar to the range of uses of knife painting, but it is more delicate and softer.

Both Titian and Caravaggio were fond of smearing with their fingers, creating light tones on the surface of oil paintings that could not be conveyed by brushes.

Finger painting is usually a secondary method.

But

Compared with the scratch method, which can only be used in special fields, it has a wider range of applications, and there are also creative painters who will use their fingers as a medium to complete the shaping of each texture on the canvas of oil painting.

Similar to knife painting, this kind of painting is called "finger painting".

The Anya lady in the jujube core space is mainly engaged in finger painting, and knife painting is only incidental.
