Task panel——
[Novice Task: Complete the ending of the current painting]
[Task time: three hours]
Gu Weijing picked up the water glass on the table and took a sip, confirming that the virtual panel in front of him really existed in front of him.
Ordinary middle school students are either excited or surprised when encountering this kind of situation.
However, thanks to the fact that he has been painting since he was a child, Gu Weijing can still maintain a good composure.
Art students may seem a little lonely and unsociable in normal life. They are often a very spiritual group of people in society. They often need to insert themselves into various painting scenes, so they occasionally make people feel nagging. of.
Whether it is his keen artistic perception or his madness like Van Gogh, anyway, when faced with such a situation that ordinary people cannot understand, Gu Weijing did not have too many emotional ups and downs and quickly adapted to it. the current situation.
He closed the panel silently.
Continue to pick up the brush and concentrate on painting the corresponding fixed color on the blank space of the drawing manuscript on the drawing board.
Another hour and a half later.
Gu Weijing finally finished painting this large canvas of 1.4 meters by 50 centimeters. He placed the easel in the corner of the gallery to dry, and then reopened the properties panel.
【Your novice mission has been completed! 】
This prompt pops up on the panel, and the proficiency level in the [Oil Painting Techniques] column has become [25/100]
"The proficiency has only increased by 2%. Well, I don't know what the calculation standard is. I started to draw the first draft of this painting before the Spring Festival, and today's progress is already at the end. If I draw a new work from scratch, proficiency How much can the degree be increased?"
Gu Weijing frowned involuntarily while looking at the virtual panel.
"Only sketching is semi-professional? The rest are just beginners and beginners? Is this the level that the system sees me as?"
He pursed his lips, a little unhappy.
Apart from his talent, Gu Weijing is also a hardworking person.
After all, he came from a major and grew up in a painting family.
Gu Weijing believes that his basic painting skills are not bad, and are even much better than many seniors at Yangon University's Academy of Fine Arts who have signed up for studios, otherwise he would not be targeted by the underworld.
Although he aspires to become an artist and does not take the non-mainstream recognition of tattoos such as bald heads seriously, the evaluation of "entry" is a bit too embarrassing.
"Are you claiming your novice reward?"
Gu Weijing saw an extra red dot on the taskbar, and clicked to receive it with the mentality of not getting anything for nothing.
[Newbie rewards have been collected! 】
[Active skill: Adolf von Menzel’s basic painting experience]
[Quality: perfect]
[Special effects: As the title states, after activating the skill, you will have the same basic painting skills as Adolf Menzel in the next thirty minutes. Cooling time, one day. 】
[Equipment requirements: Sketch level lv.2]
[Master profile: 19th-century famous illustrator, German sketch master, woodblock and lithograph painter, world-famous for his rigorous and meticulous sketching techniques, illustrator of "The Life of Frederick the Great", winner of the Black Eagle Medal. 】
[Note: As the highest honor of the Prussian Empire, even a princess of the Hohenzollern dynasty would lower her noble head when facing a recipient of the Black Eagle Medal, which represents dignity and status. 】
"It's actually Mr. Menzel?"
Gu Weijing opened his mouth slightly. He knew who Menzel was without any systematic introduction.
The most famous painting master in German history, he had a close relationship with the prosperous Prussian royal family.
In Prussia in the 19th century, being able to participate in the illustrations and paintings of "The Life of Frederick the Great" was not the same as the illustrator listed on a children's comic you bought on the street.
Analogous to the ancient Eastern Xia Dynasty, his status was roughly between that of the court painter Lang Shining, Hanlin bachelor, Prince Shaobao, and Ji Xiaolan, chief editor of the National History Museum.
Menzel's hand-painted small illustrations of more than ten centimeters are basically sold at auction houses for about 100,000 euros. This is because he has more than 7,000 works alive.
"But it's just the basics of painting?"
He was a little disappointed.
It's not that Gu Weijing doesn't know how high the sky is and looks down on Mr. Menzel, but since the basic experience of painting has the word "basic" in it, it is obviously a skill for art beginners. For someone like Gu Weijing who has learned painting, it is close to For someone who has spent 10,000 hours, it may not be of much help.
In fact, even if he is more interested in less popular professional fields such as woodblocks or stone tablets, Gu Weijing feels that they are more useful than this vague basic painting technique.
However, driven by curiosity, he decided to see what effect this skill had.
After Brother Hao left, no new customers came into the calligraphy and painting shop for the time being.
To be cautious, Gu Weijing walked over and hung a sign at the door that said "Closed for business. If you need to purchase paintings, please call or make an appointment online."
He then took out gouache paper, a box of colored pencils and a pencil sharpener from the studio in the back room, and made all the preparations.
Only then did Gu Weijing activate his skills.
He didn't feel like he was being empowered by a martial arts master and had ten years of skill added out of thin air. He just had a sudden realization in his mind.
The skill panel in front of me has also changed to——
[Basic experience of Adolf von Menzel’s painting]
[Cooling time: 23 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds]
Gu Weijing took out a half-used pencil from the pencil box on the side and looked at the Mercedes-Benz model on the table.
Colored pencil drawing does not have a high technical content, but it is the most basic test of basic skills. It requires both the accuracy of sketching and the light and shadow of colors.
Moreover, painting a painting is much more convenient than oil painting, which often takes days, weeks or even months. If it is faster, half an hour is not impossible.
An expert will know if there is one as soon as he takes action.
If you want to know your true painting level after activating the skill, nothing else is useful. Nothing can explain it better than actually painting a painting.
Gu Weijing originally estimated that there would not be much room for improvement in his basic skills.
He has self-confidence, mainly because he has already learned the basic knowledge he can learn.
While other children were waving Ultraman and Yo-Yo in kindergarten, Gu Weijing's birthday gift was a box of 48-color colored pencils produced by Faber Castell in Germany.
Because the painting techniques are too simple, colored pencil drawings and crayons are often associated with labels such as beginners and children's simple drawings in public perception. They are also relatively unpopular in the art market, and sometimes even worse than Pen drawing.
Its upper limit is right there, so what room for improvement can even Menzel have?
"What the hell!"
When the tip of the pencil finally landed on the watercolor paper in front of him, Gu Weijing discovered that he was actually the frog at the bottom of the well who didn't know the vastness of the world.
