A month passed in the blink of an eye. In the principal's office of the Shangjing Academy of Fine Arts, Principal Meng was talking about Long Xiao.

"You, you, you know how to find work for me all day long. You have three apprentices and you are not willing to give up. You insist on telling your classmates that you can use your paintings to recommend yourself. Why don't you let people come over? You insist on letting me do it.

When people sent paintings to me, didn’t they just want me to choose them for you? What’s the matter? Three apprentices are not enough?”

Principal Meng was also Long Xiao's teacher back then, so he naturally knew what kind of person Long Xiao was. Not only was Long Xiao extremely talented, but he also had his own ideas and practices on everything, and never listened to what others thought.

, he just does whatever he wants. In the past, he was urged to accept apprentices, but he was unwilling. Now, he has accepted three apprentices at once, and he still wants them. This is strange.

"Apprentice, the more the better. Teacher, Mo Wan is in a particularly good mood recently. I think it must have something to do with my apprentices."

Long Xiao replied with a smile. It must be said that these children are well-behaved and cute, and they have many small ideas. After accepting three apprentices, it can be said that Jiang Mowan's mood has improved a lot every day.

How should I put it? Su Xian is the adopted son of the two of them, and will be no different from his biological son in the future. Therefore, Jiang Mowan, as a mother, naturally cares about everything. The mother and son even went to the movies, art exhibitions and music together.

The drama can be said to have made rapid progress emotionally.

After Wu Yanbai and Yan Hongwei learned that their master had prepared rooms for themselves, they often came over to have a meal and stay at Long Xiao's house. Who told Long Xiao's house to be right outside the school? Not only was it very close, but there was also a chef who carefully prepared the house.

Naturally, Wu Yanbai and Yan Hongwei liked coming to the house because of the prepared meals. However, within a month, they got used to calling Long Xiao's father and Jiang Mowan's mother, and it was not as embarrassing as before.

"That's true, this person, as she gets older, tends to have random thoughts, especially when she reaches Mo Wan's age and sees that people around her have children, she naturally has thoughts in her heart. Now that she has children by her side, she also

It’s much better.”

Principal Meng nodded, and then took out the paintings he had seen and showed them to Long Xiao.

You know, since Long Xiao said that students can recommend themselves with their own works, many students have come forward to recommend themselves. In this month, Principal Meng has seen hundreds of good paintings, so after screening,

These are the only ones left.

Long Xiao took over these drawings, and at first it seemed that painting was actually very easy, and imitation was also very easy. The key was to have his own style, just like a literati with his own brushstrokes, the same goes for painting.

"These children are all excellent. I have selected these suitable ones for you to take a look at. I feel that the style is getting closer to you, and you already have your own style. If you educate them, you will definitely achieve more results."

He sincerely wants these children to get better, so the paintings that Principal Meng selected are all excellent.

Long Xiao's eyes fell on a painting named "Maple". The overall style of this painting belongs to the realism school. At first glance, it is actually the same as the photo, but if you look closely, it has a different charm. The painting

Among them is the Maple Forest Avenue of the Beijing Academy of Fine Arts. Countless students walk through this road every year, but in this painting, the beauty of the swaying maple trees makes people feel that the maple leaves seem to be flying when you look at it.

generally……

"This student is very good. Her writing style is soft and graceful, and she is good at detailed things. However, the current market does not like this kind of realism, and prefers virtual things..."

Principal Meng said, in fact, painting is not as high-end and high-end as many Ou Tong people say, because everyone is ordinary people and they all have to eat. If your paintings can have a good price, then for a painter

It is also a very happy thing.

Because with this money, they can live a good life and get more paintings.

This is mutual, so excellent painters must not only adhere to their own ideas, but also integrate modern styles and trends. Only in this way can they survive in this industry.

As for those who have always been stubborn, maybe some people have been doing nothing all their lives, feeling that they will not be liked by others, and that God is unfair.

But there are still those one in ten million who, like many painters who have been famous throughout the ages, only have their own names after death.

It's a pity that a person's name is left for eternity only after he dies, so what's the use of it?

"This is good, I like it, it's her."

Long Xiao nodded. After looking at a few paintings, this one "Maple" really moved him. This painting had the desolation of autumn, but it also had a gentleness of autumn. It made people feel better after reading it. Maybe

Unlike many paintings that pursue a sense of incompleteness, Long Xiao likes it.

"This? Okay, this student's name is Qiao Mohan, and the information is here..."

The two were discussing about the next apprentice, and in Long Xiao's home, in a quiet and huge studio, three people occupied three corners respectively, and they were all painting quietly.

Tulip Cup has released official news on its official website. The competition period is from this month to next month, with one month of painting time, and then the first voting and evaluation by netizens will be held next month. Only the top 100 people voted by netizens will be eligible.

Entering the follow-up review, evaluations from major art painters, including many outstanding talents from the national art department, each year the Tulip Cup is the most valuable.

In the early years, everyone thought that voting with netizens was too hasty, but later everyone discovered that this netizen is not someone you ordinary netizens can vote for!

Before you want to vote, you must first register as a member of the Tulip Cup. This membership requires you to show your academic qualifications and personal appreciation ability. In the early years, people even had to write an article about famous paintings in order to join the Tulip Cup.

Appreciation essay, so anyone who has the ability to vote must have the ability to appreciate, and they must have graduated from an art-related university.

This directly prevented ordinary netizens from voting. Later, the national art department conducted the voting in person, and then announced the top ten outstanding young painters for rewards. This was a very valuable competition.

And the most important thing is that any painter who can get the top ten results in the Tulip Cup can get the membership of the Tulip Association. This status directly makes a person gold-plated, and the distance to their success is getting closer and closer.

close.

In addition, being able to join the National First-Class Painters Association is also a coveted name, so the annual Tulip Cup can be said to be a place where people can become famous in one step.

The three of them haven't started to prepare for the Tulip Cup painting yet, and they are just painting casually at this time. Seeing that the time has reached noon, Jiang Mowan comes over and calls them to eat.

"It's already noon, let's eat first and then paint in the afternoon."

In fact, Jiang Mowan knew that the three of them had not painted at all. The so-called Tulip Cup had no proposition and no requirements. As long as you met the competition requirements, you could use your own work to compete. Whether it could pass the public's aesthetics, and then pass the teachers' examination.

It is very difficult to achieve the top ten aesthetic results.

Jiang Mowan once participated in the Tulip Cup, but she was only ranked in the fifties at that time, and her paintings were not very good.

"kindness."

Su Xian's eyes lit up as soon as he saw Jiang Mowan. Both Wu Yanbai and Yan Hongwei were a little serious. After all, thinking of the tasks assigned by the teacher and the competition that was about to start soon, both of them took this competition too seriously.

After finally becoming their disciples, none of them wanted to embarrass themselves in front of Long Xiao.

"There will still be some time left for the competition. You can take your time. Don't be anxious. Let's eat first."

While greeting the three children for dinner, Jiang Mowan hadn't gotten along with such big children for a long time, and she was still a little reluctant to let go. However, after spending a month with these children, she found that these three children were very sensible, and they were also very kind.

He kept making her laugh, which made Jiang Mowan like these three children even more.

"Mom, can I draw you?"

Su Xian suddenly raised his head and asked Jiang Mowan, his dark eyes full of expectation, which made Jiang Mowan stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise.

"Axian, do you want to draw your mother? Of course you can, but if you participate in the competition this time, it is best not to draw figures. It is easy to suffer losses. If Axian likes her mother, she can draw a separate picture for her, okay?

"

Jiang Mowan stretched out her hand to rub Su Xian's hair, feeling that this child was extremely considerate and the most comfortable to get along with.

She knew Su Xian's talent, so she hoped that Su Xian could perform well this time and achieve a good result in this competition.

"Yeah." Su Xian nodded obediently and listened to Jiang Mowan in everything.

The two people on the side felt much better when they saw the way the master's wife and the junior brother got along. They no longer thought about painting, and instead started picking up food for Su Xian. It could be said that it was very warm.

In the afternoon, the three of them went to find inspiration quietly again, this time alone in each room. Jiang Mowan had nothing to do, so he remembered baking cookies that he had not done for many years, and found the materials to make cookies for the children with the chef.

, it seems that with these children, there are really no other random thoughts.

On the school side, Long Xiao's personal open class was attended by many students, and everyone looked at Long Xiao on the podium with burning eyes.

"Today, I am very happy because I found a very good work. I admire this classmate's work very much. I will also appreciate this classmate's work with you today. Of course, this classmate is now

In the class, I also hope that after seeing her work, she will carefully consider whether to become my close disciple. I will also ask this classmate to explain the source of inspiration for this work later."

Long Xiao's words shocked everyone in the class.

Teacher Long is really going to accept a disciple again! And he will release this person’s works soon! But everyone who has received a painting from Principal Meng is extremely nervous, hoping that the lucky one will be themselves.

In the center of the crowd, Su Ying was also very nervous. She felt her heart beating continuously and speeding up. She just thought that the person chosen by Teacher Long was herself.
Chapter completed!
