This illustration received only thirteen points from the four judges combined.

The judge lady in the wheelchair gave three points. Among the remaining three people, except Thomas, who gave four points, the other two judges also gave three points.

"This total score is not as good as the last tramp, which is too embarrassing. I guess no matter who this painter is, his future business may not be easy."

Mrs. Sakai sighed.

No matter what the reason is, if your carefully drawn work is trampled under the feet of homeless people's graffiti, it will not be a publicity thing after all.

"It's a pity. It's unfair to demand the works of online artists based on the standards of art. From a purely illustration perspective, it has all the content it should have."

Kazunari Sakai sighed.

"What more could you ask of them?"

Compared to other countries, RB has more small illustrators or cartoonists.

Professor Sakai knows that with their level, being able to draw what employers require is good in itself.

It’s impossible to ask how realistic their works are, especially in such a small size.

In painting, online animation illustrations and character portraits are completely different prices.

"Only practical value, no artistic value."

Sakai Katsuko said softly: "Miss Elena in the wheelchair is appreciating this work with the perspective of appraising serious works of art. Three points is quite generous."

For an illustration, it is officially over when you hand the work into the hands of the employer.

For a piece of art, it is beyond use value. It also needs collection value and sale value.

Not only can you buy this painting, but it must also be able to be sold and the next collector will be willing to buy it.

Illustration works of this level are available in the art market in as many quantities as they can be.

Strictly speaking, you have to make up two more stories about the homeless man's graffiti, and you may always meet one or two people who are curious and want to buy it.

It's bad enough to be distinctive.

But if it is an ordinary illustration with no highlights, it is like a weed growing on the roadside, no one cares about it.

This competition is really unfriendly to online illustrators.

Painting is more like a job to them than an artistic pursuit.

What they pursue is the number of orders and turnover, but not the artistic level.

After all, Wuling Hongguang and Ferrari's drag racing is just a joke, and their working starting points are completely different.

If you sharply analyze the errors and omissions in these works from the perspective of art appreciation, it will indeed be cold and cruel.

"Come on, the works of these online painters are really nothing worth seeing. Can they really compare with the masters?"

Komatsu Taro shook his head impatiently, he almost wanted to fast forward.

Tsunamasa Sakai said: "Three online illustrators, one homeless person, and the exciting part will come when the judge lady immediately eliminates another painting."

The opportunity to compete with the masters is naturally rare for Lei, but other online painters only have the fate of being crushed.

Fine arts and sports are similar.

Even if you take stimulants, you have to be a good athlete if you want to win the world championship. If you replace Uncle Sakai and run the race, even if you drink stimulants as mineral water, you will only get ridicule.

"These online illustrators who make a living are really not qualified to compete with real artists. If it were a serious art exhibition, they would not even be qualified to be shortlisted..."

Mrs. Sakai suddenly became quiet in the middle of her words.

Because she saw, without any warning, Miss Elena, who was sitting in a wheelchair, suddenly stopped the appraisal.

The girl tilted her head and stared at the painting in front of her for a long time.

Then she shook the bell gently.

A nursing servant wearing a black vest who was outside the door pushed open the door and entered.

She whispered something in the other person's ear, and the other person nodded, turned around and pushed the door open to leave.

Then the connoisseur lady crossed her hands under her chin, stared at the four paintings in front of her, and fell into a long silence.

On the right side of the IPAD, abnormalities in the screen were also discovered in the discussion area that was synchronized in real time with the video playback progress.

A sea of ​​question marks and wtf (what happened)? Start swiping the screen like crazy.

"What's going on? She's not feeling well, or there's something wrong with the video recording."

As soon as Sakai Tsunasa's words came out of his mouth, he felt something was wrong.

This is not a live broadcast, but a video that has already been made.

If something goes wrong during the recording process, it can be edited later.

Since Mr. Hyperion is willing to keep this clip, it means that this clip must be important to the video and will be of interest to viewers.

"Hi? Hi? What's going on? Are you okay?"

Thomas gestured to the photographer on the side.

The camera shook and the screen was moved to the blank wall, but the video itself did not end and continued to play.

"No...it's just that I think I need to pause the recording. Please [block beep—], there is something I must apologize to you for."

Anna's voice continued to come from the screen.

This is indeed an emergency.

After a long silence, the young lady even forgot that she was recording a program and directly called the big internet celebrity by her real name.

This super internet celebrity has always been very private about her personal life outside of work, and has never released her real name to the outside world.

In order to protect their personal information, the post-production team had to [beep-] drop the word "Thomas" when processing this audio.

At this time, the prompt subtitles appeared in the video for the second time.

[There was a little hiccup during the recording process. It’s very interesting. After careful consideration, I decided to keep it real and present this video to everyone intact - Mr. Hyperion]

After a few seconds, the video returned to normal.

"Okay, let's resume recording. Miss Elena just told me something very interesting."

Thomas turns the camera to Anna.

“I once said that it was not wise to pay a million dollars for a commissioned illustration, and I didn’t think I would see anything that would surprise me.”

Anna pursed her lips, showing her inner hesitation.

She has always been a clean and tidy person, and she never gets entangled in judging the quality of a work of art.

But today...

Especially that painting.

"I still stand by the former point of view, but I have to apologize for the latter conclusion. I shouldn't draw conclusions without seeing the specific artwork. The remaining four illustrations are all very good, even worthy of being called Impressively excellent.”

"Any painting I eliminate later is not because it is not good enough, but because other works are better."

"and……"

Ana drawled her voice and bit her lower lip slightly.

"There is even one... masterpiece that surprised me very much. I need to take some time to appreciate it carefully before I can make a final conclusion."

"About a few minutes."

The carer outside quickly delivered a set of suitcases.

Anna cleaned her hands and took off the Jaeger-LeCoultre moon phase watch on her wrist.

The nurse helped her to fold up the sleeves of her dress, exposing her smooth forearms underneath.

After making sure her sleeves wouldn't accidentally stain the paper, she put on a pair of white silk gloves.

Anna turned the fixing pin at the back of the frame, took apart one of the four frames, and took out the paper inside.

Take out the magnifying glass and begin to carefully examine the painting.

"strangeness."

Komatsu Taro straightened his body slightly.

This method of identification is generally only used for the authenticity of large-sized oil paintings, especially in auction houses.

Appraisers use the drying sequence of the paint, the artistic style revealed by the finest strokes of the brush, and the texture of the characters to determine whether it is an authentic work by a famous artist or a forgery.

This painting is so detailed. I didn't expect the other party to look at it so carefully.

masterpiece?

"It belongs to senior Jane Arnold, or to Van Dorn. He looked at it so carefully, and even called it a masterpiece."

Uncle Sakai touched his chin.

This old-school art critic is very particular about the words he uses to appraise works of art.

The other person called this work Masterpiece (outstanding like a master), and he must have loved this painting to the core.

"The probability of Senior Jane Arnold is at least 70%."

Sakai Katsuko thought for a while: "The remaining 20% ​​are painted by Ms. Lewis who is particularly good. Based on the style of Oil Painting magazine, I probably don't like Dadaism too much, but -"

The coffee table fell silent.

Everyone is aware of a problem.

Jane Arnaud, Van Dorn, Louis, one carrot and one pit, so who is the remaining painting?
