"I'm sorry, President Marshall. As I told Master Liu Yizhi before, I'm not very good at painting. I'm still just a student at Qingbei University. At that time, I had a sudden inspiration and painted these two paintings. Painting. There really aren’t any other paintings.”
Su Lin said apologetically.
"What? Are you saying that these two paintings of yours were really improvised and completed within a few hours?"
Before that, Liu Yizhi had told Marshall how Su Lin made this painting, but Marshall always thought Liu Yizhi was exaggerating. But now that Su Lin said it himself, Marshall was even more shocked.
Liu Yizhi watched from the side and was very proud. After all, as one of the few Chinese people who can make a name for himself in the oil painting world, Liu Yizhi knew how Asians were looked down upon in the oil painting world. So this time, he wanted to let Su Lin open the eyes of these great European painters in front of so many members, so he said to Su Lin in Chinese: "Su Lin, you can show your talent again With my ability to paint on the spot last time, I painted a unique oil painting on the spot, which opened the eyes of these foreign devils."
"Uncle Liu, is this bad?"
Su Lin originally wanted to keep a low profile, but since Liu Yizhi said so, and he was also very angry about the lack of Chinese people in the European Oil Painting Association, he also wanted to show his skills in front of these arrogant Europeans.
"What's wrong with that, it's settled. Besides, if you don't want to paint, just make it bigger. Go to the booth outside. Sulin, are you confident?"
Since the last time I saw Su Lin, she painted "She She She" in more than two hours. Liu Yizhi felt that there was nothing Su Lin couldn't do. Even if I can't draw another masterpiece on par with "Her Her Her" on the spot, it is definitely much better than the members of these associations. [
"Okay! Then listen to Uncle Liu and let these foreign devils open their eyes."
Su Lin put on the mask and hat again, and Liu Yizhi communicated with Marshall. Marshall was also shocked that Su Lin actually wanted to paint on the spot, so the shock was even greater.
Especially the association members in the conference room, although they recognized the quality of Su Lin's two paintings. But he didn't believe that Su Lin could paint a top-notch oil painting in just a few hours. Because for them, an oil painting often takes several weeks or even months, or even one or two years to create slowly.
An oil painting is not a sketch, so how could it be done in such a short time? This talented oriental painter is really too arrogant. Sure enough, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and they become arrogant after achieving some results.
Even President Marshall and Vice President Mimo couldn't believe it. Marshall even frowned, feeling that Su Lin was a little too arrogant. But good painters are proud and confident. Marshall knew it.
After walking out of the conference room, security guards had already begun to clear the room. Drawing boards and the best oil paints were placed in the center. With a group of people watching, Su Lin started swaying. I actually started painting.
But this time, Su Lin was prepared not to be so stunning. Just paint a similar oil painting. After thinking about it, he thought of the mural "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea" that he would put up in his home later.
The Eight Immortals are indeed classic immortal figures in traditional Chinese mythology. Each immortal has its own personality. Su Lin's heart moved and he decided to draw a picture of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea.
There are Western oil painting techniques to depict Eastern mythological stories, which are also unique creativity and ideas. Su Lin just went ahead and started painting quickly and meticulously with everyone and the media watching.
"Oh my God! It's really Sunny, that talented Chinese painter, who wants to paint on the spot!"
A Western reporter couldn't help but scream.
"That's Sunny, we are the pride of China! The fact that such an oil painting genius can appear in our country is really a slap in the face to these great artists in the West!"
"It's amazing! I actually painted on the spot..."
A layman looks at the excitement, an expert looks at the door. In the eyes of viewers who don't understand the process of oil painting, there seems to be nothing too strange about Su Lin's on-site painting. After all, sketches, ink paintings, etc. are all done on-site. However, an expert can tell at a glance that when Su Lin makes oil paintings, he does it in one go. There is no need to modify or draw lines at all. He immediately has a groove in his mind, and a lifelike and ingenious oil painting version of Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea gradually takes shape on the drawing board. .
"Dad! Look, this Sunny is painting the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea with oil. If we buy this painting and give it to Grandpa, it will definitely be very honorable. After so many media reports and exposures, the price of this painting will definitely be It will skyrocket.”[
Qin Li looked at Su Lin's painting techniques and process and felt deeply the gap between himself and him. However, he was determined to win the painting Su Lin was now painting.
"Okay, I just heard President Marshall say that Sunny's painting will be auctioned in the afternoon. As long as the price is not ridiculously expensive, we will take it."
Although Qin Zesheng didn't know much about oil painting, he could tell that although Su Lin's painting was not as good as the previous "Her Her Her", it must still be a famous painting handed down from generation to generation.
"Sister Xueling, look at this Sunny, does he look familiar? Why do I feel like I've seen him before? And he looks very familiar, and he's even wearing a hat and a mask."
Sally had not interviewed Sunny before, and now she was bulging her mouth, looking very angry at Sunny who was painting!
"You think so too? Sally, I also think this sunny looks familiar, but I just can't remember where I've seen him before. It would be great if I could see his true face. I'd definitely know who he is. Could it be that this Have I seen this person before?”
Chen Xueling also quickly searched her mind, but in her impression, there was no such person among the younger generation of Chinese who specialized in oil painting!
"Oh my God! Mimo, look, this Sunny can actually paint on the spot. He can paint oil paintings at such a fast speed. It's incredible!"
Marshall, the president of the European Oil Painting Association, was surprised to see the vice president Mimo. When he saw the lifelike Eight Immortals in Su Lin's paintings one by one, he knew that he had underestimated this talented painter from the East.
"President Marshall, didn't Sunny just say that he is a student of Qingbei University? I happen to have a student who serves as the deputy dean of the Academy of Fine Arts of Qingbei University in China. She seems to have arrived at the scene today. I will Go ask her."
The student mentioned by Vice President Mi Mo was naturally Chen Xueling. When Chen Xueling came to study for postgraduate and doctoral studies at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, Mimo was her tutor. Although Chen Xueling's painting level does not meet the requirements for membership, Chen Xueling's theoretical level is relatively high. The research on European oil paintings is also relatively in-depth.
"Haha! Sulin, you really did not disappoint us."
Liu Yizhi stood beside Su Lin, not moving away even a step. For more than two hours, he just watched Su Lin's crazy painting, and his blood started to surge.
Soon, the most awesome oil painting "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea" in history was born. Witnessed by thousands of oil painting enthusiasts and oil painting masters from all over the world, it made its grand debut.
When Su Lin lifted up the entire painting and formally showed it to everyone, the audience held their breath and widened their eyes as they looked at the Eight Immortals in Su Lin's paintings. With a fairy spirit, facing the roaring sea, he showed no fear at all.
The Eight Immortals crossed the sea, each showing his magical powers.
The demeanor and magic weapon of each immortal, their calmness and composure facing the sea, and their ecstatic feeling infected everyone present. This kind of painting can no longer be described as a painting. The characters and atmosphere in it seem to be able to escape. After seeing it, everyone at the scene felt that they seemed to be the immortal flying across the sea. No. Bound by heaven and earth, you can come and go freely.
free!
Don't be afraid of difficulties!
challenge!
face the challenge!
This is the message revealed by Su Lin's painting of Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, freedom and challenge. Is there anything in this world that is more valuable than freedom
Maybe now you will feel that you are free enough. Because you are in a democratic country and can move freely without anyone restraining you. However, have you ever thought that true freedom does not refer to your body. It’s about whether your soul and spirit are bound by other things.
If you have to do a job you don't like and worry about all kinds of things in order to survive, then you are not free. Your spirit has been restrained and suppressed by this bustling metropolis. It is spiritual lack of freedom.
Everyone present felt such a sense of freedom from the painting, which was leading them to break away from the constraints of life and their own souls.
After holding their breath, and finally exhaling heavily, many people felt that their bodies and minds relaxed instantly. Many things that I had been obsessed with before, many things that I couldn't figure out and couldn't let go of before, have now been figured out and let go.
The Eight Immortals crossed the sea and were free. Marshall looked at Su Lin in horror. His painting could achieve such an affecting effect.
