On the way home from school in the evening, Lin Yuan summarized the newly acquired knowledge in his brain.

What he acquired this time was professional-level painting skills.

But people who really know how to paint know that the so-called professional-level painting level, this kind of description and description is too general.

Just by dividing the types of paintings, the types of paintings are already very complicated.

These include ink painting, oil painting, printmaking, watercolor, gouache, drawing, sketching, and so on.

It would be even more exaggerated if we were to divide it from the carrier, the utensils, and the like.

Therefore, we only divide the most influential categories of Blue Star from the type of painting.

These categories, in order, are Chinese painting, oil painting, watercolor, gouache and drawing.

On the earth, the international status of oil painting is higher than that of Chinese painting, but the blue star is dominated by the oriental appreciation pattern, so Chinese painting is the highest, followed by oil painting.

Among them, watercolor, gouache and sketch are essential items for art students' college entrance examinations, so the threshold is relatively not so high, and the level of public appreciation can also keep up.

In contrast, the threshold for Chinese painting and oil painting is relatively high.

As for Lin Yuan's professional-level painting level......

It's not that Lin Yuan's professional-level painting level is too generalized by the system, but because Lin Yuan's professional-level painting level includes these popular genres at the same time!

Chinese painting, oil painting, gouache, watercolor, drawing, he now understands everything.

"I'll try it tonight. ”

Lin Yuan passed by a stationery store, his heart moved, and he walked in.

Pigment......

Sketchpad......

Paintbrush......

Paper......

Professional painting is undoubtedly an extremely money-burning thing, Lin Yuan just bought watercolor, gouache and sketch painting materials, and spent thousands of yuan in one go!

"Let's buy the materials for oil and ink paintings later. ”

Lin Yuan planned to start with a relatively simple practice, after all, sketching, gouache and watercolor painting are also more common in life.

After going out, Lin Yuan took a taxi.

There are so many things to buy that one person can't take them back.

Back at home, Lin Yuan chose the balcony as the base for painting, first set up the drawing board, and then began to sharpen the pencil-

He wants to try sketching first.

Ordinary art students need to copy some sketches, but Lin Yuan, a professional-level painter, does not need to, he can complete some sketches just by relying on impressions, and the first sketch work in Lin Yuan's life is a self-portrait.

Many master sketchers have painted self-portraits.

However, sketching requires more than one pencil, because there are differences in the lines of different pencil models, so Lin Yuan sharpened more than a dozen pencils in one go-

The first is the more common 2B pencil.

This kind of pencil is relatively common in sketch paintings, and Lin Yuan used this kind of pencil to complete the large frame of three courts and five eyes.

It's not a must, though.

Depending on the habits of different sketchers, some people will also use other models of pencils to hit the frame.

After laying the frame, Lin Yuan began to paint.

The so-called sketch painting is actually sketching and filling on the basis of a large frame, and Lin Yuan will not be unfamiliar with his appearance, so whether it is the shape of the eyes or the wings of the nose, he can draw it very expressively.

"Smooth lines......"

Lines are one of the most important elements of sketching, many people don't sketch well, in fact, the lines are not in place, Lin Yuan can easily make more than a dozen lines that look completely parallel and have the same thickness and similar length, and beginners will never be able to do this level.

Then there's the light and shade.

The direction of the light determines the brightness and darkness.

Whether gouache or sketching, both emphasize the expressiveness of light and shade, people often say that the three-dimensional sense is determined by light and shade, but the basis of light and shade is still lines, dense lines are arranged together, it constitutes the dark side of sketching.

"Hoo ......"

Painting is a test of patience, and Lin Yuan tossed for two hours to finally complete this self-portrait!

This speed was still completed because Lin Yuan's level was high enough.

If you want to draw a sketch as much as you can, even copying it will take you hours to complete.

The kind of dynamic pencil drawings that are completed in fifteen minutes to half an hour are called sketches.

Although sketching is also a type of sketching, the level of detail is completely different from Lin Yuan's painting.

Getting up and taking two steps back, Lin Yuan took a closer look at his self-portrait and nodded with satisfaction.

It is worthy of professional level painting skills.

Lin Yuan's self-portrait can be called a form and spirit, and if it is taken out for others to see, it will definitely receive countless praises, because sketches are mostly more intuitive realistic paintings, even people who don't know sketches can have corresponding aesthetics.

"It's alike!"

These four words are probably the basis for ordinary people to evaluate the quality of a sketch, although it is a bit one-sided, but this degree is enough, because the image you want to draw, the factors of light and shade and lines have been counted.

"Wash up and sleep. ”

After confirming the level he could reach, Lin Yuan went to the bathroom to wash, his hands were already a little dirty at the moment-

For painters, dirty is the norm.

And that's just a sketch.

When Lin Yuan draws, he occasionally rubs some relatively dense lines with his thumb, which can make the line effect softer (toilet paper and the like can also achieve a similar effect)

If it is gouache or even oil painting, because it needs to be dipped in paint, it will inevitably drip onto pants or clothes.

People who are obsessed with cleanliness may not be able to stand it at all.

People who have written calligraphy should have some understanding of this situation.

After washing, Lin Yuan lay on the bed and was about to close his eyes to sleep, when the system suddenly appeared: "Congratulations to the host for completing the first painting in his life, and now release the task to achieve the goal of breaking 1,000 painting reputation within three months!"

"Pick up. ”

Lin Yuan said without hesitation.

The system obviously also knew that painting reputation was not something easy to obtain, so the goal set for Lin Yuan was very low, as long as he could reach a thousand reputation points at the beginning.

[Mission Name: Painter's Path]

[Task content: Within three months, let the reputation of painting exceed 1,000, and there is no limit to the way]

[Reward: 1 Silver Chest, 1 Bronze Chest]

Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment, this task is obviously not particularly difficult, but the reward is so rich, and it also contains a silver treasure chest, it seems that this task must be completed by himself!

"It seems that the system wants me to be well-rounded. ”

Vaguely touching the task law of the system, Lin Yuan finally understood why this system was called the "art system".

Painting, music, and literature are all important carriers of art.

"I'll see if there are any channels to gain prestige tomorrow, and I guess I'll have to learn electronic painting, professional-level painting skills, and it shouldn't be difficult to combine technology. ”

The system gave Lin Yuan professional-level painting skills.

However, some paintings are to be completed through electronic tools, and this part of the technology is not given to Lin Yuan by the system, and Lin Yuan needs to learn it himself.
