Chapter 209 If you can't paint, learn watercolor first
He found that many foreigners like to eat at the same restaurant they like. But Chen Xing pursues the principle of 'eat less, taste more,' and he likes to go to different restaurants to find different tastes.
And it is precisely because of the diverse decorations of French restaurants that every time you change to a restaurant, there is a different mood.
It's just that the restaurant charges are quite expensive, and it's not as affordable as eating bread in a cafe.
Chen Xing has never been around here, so I expected the same.
We found a nearby Western restaurant, and the waiter took Chen Xing to a seat near the window according to Chen Xing's wishes.
He likes to watch people outside from this perspective.
The same street, but with different people walking on it, is changing every moment. Sometimes an inconspicuous corner can produce a beautiful work just because a handsome guy or a beautiful woman passes by. While the two were eating, Dellin said, "You seem to like street photography?"
"Well, strange beauties are my muse. Photographing them will help me improve my skills."
Dellin was stunned for a moment, then beamed.
"Yes, I think so too."
I have learned, I will say the same thing when he shoots other women in the future, Oppa, you are my muse, shooting you will improve my photography skills... It becomes art at this moment.
At this time, Alijie also sent a message, asking Chen Xing to meet on the weekend two days later.
Then I also sent some words of thanks.
She is now in a critical period of transformation. She has quit the music scene to concentrate on running her own dance studio. The sudden popularity on the Internet has helped her a lot and added a lot of support.
Delin didn't know who Chen Xing was chatting with before, but he immediately became jealous when he found out.
He was so obsessed with Alizee when he was a child. At that time, all French children had only one idol, and that was Alizee. It can be said that Alizee made many children born in the 90s draw maps in bed for the first time.
p>
But until now, he has never had a few words with Alizee.
"What did she talk to you about?"
"It's nothing, just a few thanks..." When Chen Xing was cutting the steak, he looked up and saw Dellin's jealous eyes, and said quickly, "What's that look in your eyes? You don't think there's anything going on between me and her, do you?"
?She can be my mother."
"Hey, hey, you have to respect Alizee, she is only 37 years old!"
"Um, is there a difference?"
Chen Xing's mother is also very young, and she has been pampered since she was married to his father. She is either eating melon seeds in the store or walking with her sisters. She is much prettier than the current Alijie.
I didn’t know what to give to my mother when I went back this time, but now it seems like I’ll give her a set of top-notch cosmetics.
"You little kid!"
Dellin was jealous because Chen Xing was chatting with his idol before, but now he is unhappy because Chen Xing doesn't like Alijie. What fans think is really unimaginable.
Chen Xing suddenly smiled and said: "Today I found out that Alijie is so popular in France. I thought your favorite female star was Sophie Marceau."
…
"She is also my idol. I often collaborated with her in the past few years, but now I see her on TV less and less. I really miss you when you say this. She is a very humorous person."
"Have you quit the entertainment industry?"
Delin shook his head and said: "No, after working in the entertainment industry for so many years, can't you enjoy it? Why, are you also a fan of hers? Do you want her phone number?"
"No, it's just that her reputation in our country is much greater than that of Alizee." Chen Xing shook his head and asked, "Do you want to go with me after that? Alizee asked me to go out for dinner in two days."<
/p>
Dellin was a little tempted, but still gave up.
"She asked you to pay for the photography fee. You are really lucky. You made so much money for the first commercial photography in your life, which is much better than when I first debuted."
Not all foreigners are rich and make a lot of money.
Dellin graduated from Paris High School, and his income in the first month was only the current income from a photo of himself, and he is still a student of a top university, otherwise it would definitely be lower.
The monthly salary of an ordinary French person is actually only 1,700-2,400 euros. Almost half of ordinary people have a monthly income of less than 2,000 euros.
Converted into Chinese coins, it’s still a lot.
But consumption in France is also high. Take Coke, which is available all over the world. A 200ml can of Coke in China costs three yuan, but it costs one euro to buy it in French supermarkets.
This is much more expensive than in China.
Chen Xing calculated in his mind that if he added the income that Alijie was about to give him, he could live a life of debauchery in France again...
You still have to rely on windfall to get rich.
If you just rely on the three melons and two dates earned by being a grandma, you will not be able to achieve financial freedom in your lifetime.
After separating from Delin, Chen Xing took a taxi back to school.
I probably won’t see Dellin for a long time. This guy went to the UK to record a food show. I don’t know what he was thinking. Isn’t the UK a food desert? A food show actually invited international photographers to participate?<
/p>
This is too strange.
………………
There is an oil painting class this afternoon. It starts at about one o'clock and ends at half past two. After that, students can go home or continue to create their own paintings in the school studio.
Chen Xing had taken two classes before, and the teacher taught him a very basic lesson again after knowing that Chen Xing was a transfer student. He is a 36-year-old young painter with a good personality, and his paintings can be sold internationally for 600,000 yuan. He revealed to himself that three years ago his paintings only sold for US$10,000... I don’t know who the lucky person who bought the painting was. This investment was a huge profit.
The oil painting course is mainly about practice, and the teacher basically only gives demonstrations.
He walked around the whole class, and since the second class he liked to stand behind Chen Xing and watch him draw. This made Chen Xing feel a lot of pressure, but because of this, his skills improved by leaps and bounds.
.
I already have the basics of Thangka, I know how to sketch, and I also have a talent for color.
This talent can be applied to photography, but it can also be used to create a painting. After all, painting and color are a perfect match.
The teacher suddenly asked: "Xing, who is your favorite painter?"
…
"It's Monet, teacher."
"Monet, I can see that you are very talented in color. Although you started learning painting very late, no one in the school can compare with you in your use of light and shadow."
Monet is one of the representatives and founders of Impressionism, and is also a recognized master of color, light and shadow.
"But your oil painting strokes are too sharp. Your current scenery, which should have been very gentle, has become like a cliff. You may want to put down your brushes first and paint watercolors in the next month."
”
"Good teacher."
The young painter nodded slightly.
Chen Xing has not disclosed what techniques he has learned before, but there is no doubt that he has a certain painting foundation, but he is not very familiar with oil painting. His strong brushwork is very suitable for creating modern paintings, but if you want to learn from Monet, or learn
Impressionism, then we must get rid of the characteristic of strong writing.
Watercolor is the most suitable.
It is not only suitable for creating impressionistic paintings, but also suitable for imitating Chen Xing’s sharp brush strokes.
The teacher walked around twice more and walked to the stage near the end and said:
"Students, get out of class is over. If you have any questions later, please contact me online. I won't have a class tomorrow. I wish you a happy weekend... By the way, in the first class next week we will draw the human body. It’s hard to hire a model, so don’t skip class.”
Drawing the human body?
Chen Xing looked up at the teacher, his heart beating a little faster. He had never drawn before.
However, the students around him didn't react much. The students around Chen Xing were still complaining: "It's over, let's skip class."
Chen Xing was curious about why he said this and asked: "What's wrong?"
Seeing that it was Chen Xing who was asking, he said, "Actually..."
There was a classmate next to him who quickly came over to stop him, and then quickly said to Chen Xing: "Brothers, brothers!
Don’t ask, you will know when the time comes. You are not a painter. This must be your first time painting the human body, right?"
Chen Xing blinked.
"Yeah.
"Then I can't tell you, but it's your first time to draw a human body, so we still have to remind you that it's best to have sex with your girlfriend before you come here, so as not to make a fool of yourself later, haha."
A very magical smile.
After saying that, they ended get out of class. As students majoring in oil painting, they had too much time in the studio, and they didn't have to come every few days like Chen Xing.
Although there is no specialized oil painting major in the school, many people who study oil painting also choose majors such as public art design and fashion design. After all, the teachers here are very good and they are all internationally renowned painters.
There were more than thirty people, and including Chen Xing, there were only eight students left in the studio.
The whole classroom became quiet again, with only the occasional cough.
Chen Xing moved his chair and continued to draw.
He has already painted this painting for three classes, and he will paint the human body in the next class, so Chen Xing wants to finish the current painting today.
He painted a scenery he had seen before. On the right side of the painting was an asphalt road, on the left was gentle spring water. The mountains in the distance looked like an overturned paint tray. Many colors were mixed on it, but they were very harmonious.<
/p>
If you look carefully, you can also see the movement of the leaves.
And he uses the paint very solidly, which is a habit Chen Xing inherited from Thangka. Thanks to the free paint provided in the school, otherwise he would have spent half as much as others on the paint.
The eight people also left one after another, and they stopped for a moment when passing by Chen Xing.
"Who did you learn from?"
"I didn't learn from anyone, I just drew blindly..."
They had never seen an oil painting like this before, and found it very novel. In addition, they heard from the teacher in class that Chen Xing's painting was very good... They didn't think it was that good, and the whole thing was confusing.
They didn't know that this was Chen Xing's first time painting.
The second one will probably be much better.
At around five o'clock, he almost finished the painting, but a phone also rang, and the caller ID was...Little Pepper?
