Everything is ready, and the first incense has been half burned.
But to immediately enter the state of painting, it takes a moment to adjust.
The title "Welcoming the Spring Festival" is actually a bit ordinary and not difficult, but because it is simple, it requires more thinking before writing.
How can such a common topic stand out and have a different flavor in the art conference?
There were several Japanese people standing outside the pavilion, meaning to supervise.
In the literary meeting, there were not only five representatives, but also accompanying staff and military advisors. They could provide suggestions, but they could not ghostwrite.
At this time, everyone was discussing their opinions on the topic.
Among all the people accompanying him, the one with the best painting skills was naturally Liu Shenghua, who "produced three flowers in one stroke".
With his talent and knowledge, it would not be difficult to become one of the representatives of Dahua, but because he had nothing to show off and made himself sick, he lost the opportunity to participate.
Now that he is one of the strategists of several people in Dahua, the creative ideas regarding the proposition and conception of the painting will naturally be based on his opinions.
Several people on one side were gathered around and arguing, but Xia Shang silently began to draw.
This was the first time Xia Shang painted, and of course, the first time he painted in this era.
Xia Shang, who has been interested in traditional culture since childhood, naturally has some skills in painting.
First of all, Xia and Shang's calligraphy is quite elegant and has everyone's style. It is said that there is no distinction between calligraphy and painting. People who can write well will naturally not be much worse in painting.
It's just that Xia Shang hasn't painted in a long time, so his hands are still relatively unfamiliar, and it will take some time to try and get used to it.
Therefore, Xia Shang stopped participating in their discussion and started drawing on paper by himself.
At the beginning, no one paid much attention to Xia Shang's actions. After all, Xia Shang's main goal today was to defeat the Japanese representatives in chess. As for other aspects, naturally his peers did not hold much hope.
However, Fu Qianqian and Jiaqian did not leave. Their focus was naturally on Xia Shang. When Xia Shang was painting, these two women were always watching by their side.
However, the two women glanced at each other and frowned, thinking that Xia Shang's painting skills were too inferior...
Xia Shang painted a flower, and he couldn’t tell what kind of flower it was. He only felt that the brushstrokes were stiff and the shape
I'm shy, it feels weird no matter how I look at it.
For such a painter, Fu Qianqian felt that she was better than Xia Shang. If such a painting was shown to others, wouldn't they laugh out loud?
Although the two women were Xia Shang's unconditional supporters, Fu Qianqian couldn't bear it anymore based on the Kungfu she saw before her eyes. She patted Xia Shang gently: "That..."
"What for? Don't affect me..."
Fu Qianqian blushed: "What are you painting... Wouldn't it be... bad to compare this kind of work with the representatives of the Japanese country?"
Xia Shang looked at his painting, but he didn't feel strange. He said confidently: "Don't worry, I haven't painted for a long time, and my hands are relatively raw now. Once I get familiar with the feel, everything will be fine."
"I'm familiar with the feel..." Fu Qianqian felt very speechless, "Look at the time, there's still a little more than one stick of incense, can you practice it well in just such a short time?"
"Just take your time and watch."
After saying that, Xia Shang ignored Fu Qianqian and continued with his painting.
Fu Qianqian was about to say something else, but Jiaqian behind her held her back and whispered, "Look, this flower Mr. Xia painted is indeed much better than the previous one."
Xia Shang was indeed practicing. All the things he painted were the same flower. He contacted them more than ten times. After a closer look, although it was still not very good, the painting now was much better than before.
.Comparing before and after, the progress is particularly obvious.
Fu Qianqian was also surprised: "Hey, it really looks much better..."
While the two were talking, Liu Shenghua confirmed the intention of the other representatives and came to see how Xia Shang was doing.
But after seeing Xia Shang's paintings, he left without looking back.
Lin Qingzhu was painting by herself, but she was also concerned about Xia Shang. Seeing Liu Shenghua come back with a strange look on her face, she almost asked: "How is he doing?"
Liu Shenghua sighed: "I can't bear to look at it."
"Can't bear to look at it?" Lin Qingzhu didn't understand the meaning of these four words for a while, and her heart was full of expectations. She said that she would take a look at her painting after it was finished.
The preliminary preparation work has been completed, and the rest depends on the temporary performance of several representatives.
In the blink of an eye, one stick of incense was burned, and the second stick of incense seemed to be getting shorter and shorter.
It takes two sticks of incense to paint a picture and turn it into
It is destined not to be too delicate, otherwise there will not be enough time.
Moreover, the real time left for Dahua representatives was not even enough time to burn two sticks of incense, so time was very tight.
The other four people did not dare to neglect their paintings at all, and did not have any time to lose focus. However, Xia Shang was still practicing stubbornly, so-called finding the feeling.
The two women watching next to him were so anxious that they were sweating, but they couldn't do much to help.
Now the flowers painted by Xia Shang have indeed improved to countless levels compared to the beginning, but now there is not much time, how can it be completed within the stipulated time?
Fu Qianqian couldn't wait any longer and was about to speak when Xia Shang finally threw away the paper he was using for practice and replaced it with a new one.
However, Xia Shang did not use a whole piece of paper, but cut it into a quarter.
Seeing Xia Shang's action, Fu Qianqian and Jiaqian understood that he had planned to paint in a small format from the beginning.
The rules do not stipulate the size of the paper, and painting on a small scale can indeed save a lot of time, but painting on a small scale seems stingy, and the meaning of opportunism is very obvious. On such a large occasion, using a small painting to compete,
It should be difficult to win the admiration of everyone.
Unless Xia Shang's small-scale works are obviously better than what everyone has painted, but everyone present is a real talent. How easy is it to be obviously superior in painting skills?
Moreover, although Xia Shang's flower paintings are good, they can only be considered mediocre. Not to mention surpassing others, even compared with a few people around him, they can only be considered middle-class.
Seeing that there was not much time left, everyone did not delay the time to be on the safe side. There was only half a stick of incense left, and they had already entered the finishing stage of the painting.
The Japanese people supervising from behind were not idle. They stood calmly behind the painters, seemingly looking at their paintings casually.
These Japanese people seemed to be surprised by the transformations of several representatives of Dahua. After seeing them, each of them looked solemn. Apparently they did not expect that the younger generation of Dahua were already so skilled in painting.
Only after looking at Xia Shang's paintings did he shake his head with disdain.
Lin Qingzhu worked very quickly and was the first among the five to complete the painting. She painted the Flower House on the Galaxy, which showed the grand scene of the Flower House by the River in the early spring of the capital. The pedestrians on the street wore different layers of winter and spring clothes.
