Chapter 80 Learning to Paint

After returning from Chen Jingle's house, Chen Qiyun ran to play with the two cats at home.

The two cats my grandpa raises are a bit ugly.

No, it’s ugly!
Both are cow cats, but they are not the common ones with mostly black and straight faces. Instead, they look like they were dyed halfway and the ink ran out, with the ink spots unevenly distributed.

One of them had a big clown face, like the traitor in a TV drama with two plasters on his face, so ugly.

The other one has a half-black head, a basically completely white body, and no tail.

Both of them are very thin, and their fur is not pretty, far inferior to the big fat cat in Chen Jingle's house.

Chen Qiyun didn't understand why she could be so ugly.

Oh, no name yet.

For rural cats, having no name is the norm.

After all, it's a worthless life, and no one will care if it dies in any corner one day. At most, the owner will scold it a few times and feel sorry for the loss of a good mouse catcher in the family.

That's it.

Chen Qiyun was a little excited and talked to the two cats using the two cat language phrases that Chen Jingle taught her.

"Mee~Ao~" (Hello)

Sure enough, both cats reacted and looked at Chen Qiyun, but they didn't dare to come closer.

But before she could say the second sentence, her grandmother said unhappily, "Why are you meowing? Stay away from cats, or they may scratch you. If you get scratched, you'll have to get a shot."

Chen Qiyun was silent, stood up and shook her hair: "I know."

In a sense, grandma is right. If you stay away from kittens, you will naturally not be in danger of being scratched.

You know, vaccination costs hundreds of dollars. There are examples in the village where children went to the hospital for injections because they were scratched by cats.

If she loses hundreds of dollars for no reason, her mother will definitely scold her to death.

Her plan to learn cat language had just begun when she suffered a setback.

……

Return to the room.

Chen Qiyun thought about it and sent a message to Li Beixing.

"Teacher Li, do you want to learn cat language?"

Li Beixing quickly replied: "Why learn that?"

“You can communicate with cats!”

"You can?"

"Of course!"

"hehe."

Seeing the two words "hehe", Chen Qiyun got angry: "I really can!"

Even though I can only say two sentences, it still works.

It's just like she dared to say that she knows English even though she failed the English test.

My English teachers have told me that when you go abroad, as long as you know some simple words and use some gestures, others will be able to understand what you mean.

So knowing a few sentences is fine, there's nothing wrong with that.

Li Beixing: "You should learn English well first. We won't test cat language in the exam."

Chen Qiyun was immediately discouraged.

You are right, cat language is not included in the exam.

"It would be great if there was a cat school, with all the principals and teachers being kittens. Then we humans could go there as international students!"

Chen Qiyun's thoughts were scattered.

Going back to reality.

She said to Li Beixing: "Well, actually I only know two sentences, but my brother knows. Cats can understand what he says in cat language. It's amazing!"

Although she didn't say it when facing Chen Jingle, she actually admired and worshipped him in her heart.

In her opinion, Chen Jingle seemed to be omnipotent.

How can a person be so powerful!
Li Beixing was speechless. Why didn’t you tell me that the cat your brother raises can do somersaults and fly a fighter jet?
She knew that Chen Jingle knew a lot, but to say that he knew this and that was a bit far-fetched.

It should be noted that human energy is limited. It is difficult for ordinary people to master even one skill, and most people only stay at the entry level. Only those who have outstanding talents and successfully discover their own talents can reach a height that ordinary people cannot reach in a certain field. Sadly, most people may not necessarily find their talents throughout their lives.

Chen Jingle's talent in calligraphy should be better than many people, but he doesn't seem to be passionate about it.

It's a bit of a waste, which makes people feel sorry.

Thinking of Chen Jingle, Li Beixing lost all desire to sleep. He tossed and turned, thinking about many things. In the end, the more he thought, the more distressed he became.

I can only sigh.

"My indecisive character really... gives up!"

……

in the afternoon.

The sun is shining brightly outside.

Chen Jingle didn't even want to leave the room, so he moved all the snack cart and the lemonade in the refrigerator into the room.

I have finished reading the outline of national history. The logic of politics makes my head swollen. I want to do some entertaining learning to relax my mind.

After much thought, he decided to learn painting.

Calligraphy and painting have been inseparable since ancient times.

After learning calligraphy, it makes sense to learn painting.

There are many types of paintings, which can be simply divided into two major categories: Chinese and foreign.

Ink painting, which is what we often call Chinese painting, ranges from basic ink painting to advanced color ink painting, and from freehand brushwork to realism.

Then came the oil paintings and sketches that came from the West.

Considering that one should start learning something from what one is most interested in, Chen Jingle is most interested in sketching and ink painting.

The interesting thing about sketching is that there is not much preparation required. You can start drawing as long as you have paper and a pencil/ballpoint pen.

Whether you are on the street, in the subway, or in a cafe, walking or standing, you can start writing as long as you want.

Chen Jingle had previously seen videos of people casually sketching portraits of strangers on the subway.

A casual creation can bring happiness to others for a whole day or even several days. For the rest of his life, every time the recipient sees this painting, he will probably think of that beautiful afternoon.

This is a very interesting thing.

The interesting thing about ink painting is that what you think is freehand Chinese painting is actually realistic.

Like a ray of setting sun spreading across the water, half of the river is rustling and half of the river is red.

Another example is the setting sun and the lone wild goose flying together, and the autumn water and the sky the same color.

Perhaps only Chinese people can understand this artistic conception.

romantic!

It’s extremely romantic!
Misty rain, falling snow, blank space, window views, floating light... Such Chinese aesthetics are presented in art forms such as calligraphy, painting, and architecture, which is a very pleasing thing to the eye.

If he could learn and inherit one or two things, it would be a great improvement in Chen Jingle's overall level.

So you have to learn painting.

As for how much you can learn, it depends on your personal talent.

He himself does not have too high aspirations. He thinks it would be enough if he could draw half as well as his bosses one day.

Then you can shamelessly say that you have achieved success.

……

Chen Jingle decided to start by learning relatively simple sketching.

He made two preparations.

One is to watch more works of big names, improve your own aesthetic level, clarify what kind of works are considered excellent, and have a general standard in mind.

Another thing is to learn theory, be pragmatic, first understand the basic concepts of painting, and then talk about other things.

The nine-story platform rises from the soil.

Even if he has a powerful system to assist him, he should still start from the basics. If the foundation is not solid, it is easy to run into problems if he wants to move forward.

You've lived for 30 years, haven't you suffered enough loss?
