Chapter 158 Have you ever studied painting?

Verrocchio ordered Botticelli to familiarize Lawrence with everything in the studio.

The studio is not very big, about fifty square meters, with goose-yellow carpets and light red and yellow wallpaper on the walls. With the sunlight coming in from the east window, it looks warm and calm.

There is a long sofa in the studio, which is probably provided as a resting place. Next to the sofa is a flower stand with a potted plant, a kind of vine, hanging from it.

Five or six easels are arranged in a chaotic manner, and there is a cabinet dedicated to displaying brushes, drawing boards and paints.

Chaos yet orderly, this is the room.

It may also be because many artists have come in and out, filling the place with a strong artistic atmosphere.

Maybe it's the smell of paint.

Botticelli had never brought a newcomer before. He touched his brown curly hair and thought for a while: "Mr. Lawrence, how about...you try to draw a square first?"

The square is a test of the basics, and it just allowed Botticelli to see the level of people who have never studied painting.

"Okay." Anno found a stool and sat in front of the easel. He took what Botticelli handed over and said, "Thank you, Mr. Botticelli."

"You're welcome, go ahead." Botticelli was also very young, and he patted Anno's arm.

Annuo looked at the blank paper and rubbed the pencil with the pads of his fingers.

Blocks?......

Annuo didn't hesitate and started writing directly.

Botticelli paid attention to Anno's brushwork and prepared to teach.

But, he was surprised.

Annuo's hand was very steady.

He concentrated on organizing his painting methods.

If it were a square...

There was no reference, so Annuo just drew hard.

Botticelli sensed something was wrong.

Because, a square shape has appeared on the paper.

Then, Annuo began to unconsciously add highlights and shadows.

Annuo looked at the square pattern and smacked his mouth.

"Mr. Botticelli, is this cube okay?"

Botticelli was already a little surprised: "This... is very good. Have you studied painting before?"

An Nuo buckled his knees, nodded, and shook his head.

"Huh?" Botticelli was stunned. What do you mean?

"No, no, I should say, I don't know." Annuo explained, "I... don't remember what happened before."

Verrocchio on the other side was attracted: "Lawrence, let me see your square."

He strode over and took a look at Anno's simple work.

As mentioned before, the drawing of squares can reveal a person's foundation.

"So... maybe you have studied painting before?" Verrocchio felt that he had grasped a point.

Annuo's square works cannot be said to be professional, but he can be sure that Annuo must have learned how to paint before.

In this case, the matter entrusted by the Fedinos will be easier to handle.

After all, painting is now considered a high-end profession, and not everyone can learn painting.

(Who among modern high school students has never drawn one or two square sketches... Although I have forgotten it here, there is still a bit of instinct.)

Verrocchio said: "Lawrence, try to draw a ball, bring light, and shine it from the upper left corner."

"I understand, Mr. Verrocchio."

Anno started painting again.

The elbow doesn't move and the wrist moves.

Verrocchio and Botticelli watched attentively.
