Soul Painter

That night, Gao Fan told Lawrence that he had a new creative theme.

Lawrence said it was great. After the theme of "Mask", I thought that Gao Fan would fall into a low ebb because of creating such a peak work. I didn't expect Gao Fan to have a new idea immediately. It's awesome. What is the new idea?

"The name is "Bostonians." Gao Fan excitedly introduced his new idea to Lawrence, "I want to draw 600,000 Bostno people into one painting."

"Six hundred thousand..." Lawrence imagined this number for a while, and felt that it should be a false finger, which is just a metaphor. Otherwise, how could a painting hold six hundred thousand people, "Is it a metaphor?"

"No, no, no." Gao Fan shook his head, "It's literally 600,000 people, maybe more."

As he spoke, Gao Fan glanced at Ana Armas.

"The population of Bostno's urban area is about 1.2 million during the working day. At night, many people who work and study here return to the suburbs, but it will also exceed 600,000, close to 700,000." Anna · Armas adjusted his glasses and said with a genius-like rationality, "Gao thinks that people in the urban area are too mobile during the day, and painting time should be at night, which will also reduce our workload."

"It's not a matter of workload!" Lawrence looked at Gao Fan again, "How can a painting hold 600,000 people! It's impossible for 60,000 people, right?"

This is against common sense!

"Tintoretto of the Venetian School painted Paradise. The draft was 10 meters wide and 25 meters high, and there were 700 people on stage." Gao Fan said, "But the painting I want to paint contains sixty Thousands of people, this is definitely a pioneering miracle in the history of painting!"

"Dear Gao Fan, are you listening to my question?" Lawrence realized that Gao Fan had fallen into his artistic fantasy, "Six hundred thousand people is an impossible subject, even if you really want to paint, How long do you need it? Three years? Five years? Even ten years?"

“Gao felt we had to complete this truly monumental painting before it came again next spring,” Anna said, “because the paint in his hands had a shelf life.”

"What paint? What shelf life?" Lawrence asked inexplicably.

During this period of time, he has been busy receiving collectors and art consultants from all over the United States. He even discussed the collection of Govan's paintings in the New York Museum. He is very busy, so don't challenge him with these unfamiliar words Sanity and endurance!

"That's it~" Gao Fan mysteriously took out a ceramic bottle from his pocket, and after he opened it, Lawrence saw... well, red paint.

"Is there anything special?" Lawrence didn't understand.

"Let's do a show~" Gao Fan said to Anna excitedly.

Anna then brought a sketch from the next door. This sketch was the result of what they had harvested today. It was a Bostno person of one in 600,000, a bar owner, and a seasoned businessman who was used to meeting gangsters. .

"I can only use a little bit." Gao Fan introduced to Lawrence, "The pigment of infinity is very precious, but a little bit can let you see the effect."

unlimited? Lawrence wondered, what the hell?

As he said that, Gao Fan dipped a little bit of the "infinity" in his mouth with a fine brush, and then carefully drew it to the eyes of this sketch. In the next second, something miraculous happened. The sketch in Lawrence's eyes, Suddenly his eyes trembled, and a sly smile appeared in his eyes.

ah!

Lawrence was so taken aback that he even knocked over his coffee mug.

"What's going on here!" He cried, and then he was busy wiping the coffee stains on his body. When he cleaned it up in twos and twos, when he looked at this sketch again, he felt that it was alive, not as dull as before. But the strong 'out-of-screen' effect just now has disappeared.

"This is the infinite effect~" Gao Fan said cheerfully, "Do you think his eyes are particularly deep? Imagine that when we gather the facial features of 600,000 people into one painting, and then use this magical Paint them with rich and magical colors, so that 600,000 people can find themselves in the painting, just like looking in a mirror, this will be an unprecedented miracle in the history of painting~”

Lawrence held his breath, and looked at the sketch again. Anna thoughtfully held it up. However, after looking at it for a long time, Lawrence couldn't figure it out. He could only see that this sketch should be drawn by Anna, although the structure and brushwork were similar to those of the sketch. Gao Fan is from the same line, but Anna's lines are calm and restrained, while Gao Fan's lines are wanton and ostentatious.

But the two red dots in the eyes of the sketch make the eyeballs seem to be alive and very deep. No matter what angle Lawrence looks at, the people in the painting seem to be looking at him... This is too strange and cannot be understood as Technique, can only be said to be the magic of paint?

how can that be possible?

Lawrence knew that during the Renaissance, the works of the great painters of the Venetian School headed by Tintoretto always looked different, they were shining, bright and moving. Observation, found their unique secret - they mixed glass powder in the paint.

For later generations, this is a little trick, a little secret, but for Europe in the sixteenth century, it was a magic trick.

Did Gao Fan master something similar?

"The paint used in the last painting of "Mask" is called 'light', and this one is 'infinity'. I have a hunch that I can get two more, one should be... The last one is..." Gao Fan fell into a state of fantasy, and at this moment, the whispering in his ear suddenly amplified.

'Infinity connects to eternity and you and I will eventually return to madness...'

The background sound of the world that I haven't heard for a long time, the great whisper, appeared in Gao Fan's ears again.

After he reached a certain attainment in mysticism, he hadn't heard the voice of the great existence in his normal life for a long time.

Especially this sentence.

This sentence was only heard when Gao Fan obtained the system. The prototype of the system is a silver key, and this key corresponds to a door of the ultimate truth of the universe that Gao Fan or humans can never pry into the truth behind.

The rank of this door should be much higher than the invisible son, the elk cat, and even the great master of the flesh and blood world, because these great beings can be defined and included by the system.

Gao Fan hadn't heard the whisper behind the system for a long time.

But this time, this moment, while discussing the 'infinity' paint with Lawrence, his inspiration exploded.

He realized that one thing, one fact, one truth, although it has no origin and no beginning, should be the truth.

The four demons stole the secrets of the four pigments from the great existence with the silver key, and then they were abandoned by their own great race and abandoned in the world. The four demons will never wait for the salvation of their race, and they will never return, because they carry original sin.

The unpardonable original sin.
