Soul Painter

Gao Fan has a goal in the near future.

It is to get rid of the mystery and learn a master skill at the same time.

Make your own paintings get rid of mediocrity.

He set his goal on Degas, and he hoped to learn Degas's "life" or "contrast". Of course, it is better to use Degas as an opportunity to create his own skills.

But it takes a long-term effort.

Gao Fan felt that he might need more three skill points.

At least increase the base value to 100.

After all, the part that exceeds 100 is regarded as a mysterious blessing. Perhaps the premise of being a master in the field of self-reliance is that the basic value of the three major items must be at least 100.

But it is very difficult to improve after the skill value reaches 90. 1 point of skill, only using the mysterious upgrade often needs nearly 100 points of SAN. Besides, Gao Fan is currently determined not to use the SAN value to improve the skill... What about the elk?

As long as there is an explosion of inspiration brought by the cat's attention, the gap can be easily filled...

no no no!

Gao Fan shook his head again.

Elk cats are also mysterious!

Why do you always think about relying on mystery?

"I have to work hard on my own, as if I don't have a system." Gao Fan said to God.

However, when Gao Fan took his copy of Degas's paintings a few days ago and went to Anna to judge, Anna, who has a dual perspective of numbers and paintings, commented that the progress was minimal.

Insignificant...Gao Fan was a little frustrated.

"High, this is not your level." Anna said.

"This is my level." Gao Fan muttered, "I'm not a genius like you."

As for Gao Fan's talent, he himself knows a lot about it.

If judged based on the three major items, his comprehensive level is only about the same as that of Xin Wei who has given up painting. Both sides have their own strengths and weaknesses. They are the same kind of people who need to persist for more than ten years before they can eat this bowl of rice. People with mediocre talents.

So Gao Fan's progress can't keep up with his hard work, and his mediocre talent consumes his enthusiasm. Before he got the system, he was in Tianmei, and he would look like a wave, and after he got the system, he would frantically dig into the system. Potential and all the possibilities it brings to him.

He was afraid that one day he would suddenly lose his system, what should he do, and return to that mediocre life where his hands couldn't keep up with his brain? Looking at the works of oil painting masters in a daze and secretly jealous?

He is afraid.

Now his worst fears had happened.

But of course it's not that scary, he's just temporarily unable to use the mystery.

And in the six hundred years of modern art history, how many oil painters have achieved master-level skills through personal efforts... well, there are not many, no matter how many you count, there must be fifty or sixty.

Fifty or sixty out of tens of billions of people, one in a billion, can fall on Gao Fan's head?

Anna and Wu Haoxue found that Gao Fan became a little crazy.

Without wasting any time, he began to copy Degas' works with all time and possibility. After completing the copy of "Dance Classroom", he began to copy other works of Degas.

The Metropolitan Museum has collected 130 works of Degas. It may take Gao Fan a year to copy all of them. Gao Fan seems willing to spend so much time copying them. In her opinion, the expressive power of Degas' works is not as good as Gao Fan's previous peak works.

So, there is only one possibility.

"Gao, have you lost your skills?"

Faced with Anna's question, Gao Fan did not answer.

After he would show Anna the copied works every day or two and ask Anna to give an evaluation, it was normal for Anna to make such a judgment, because those works did not have 'skills'.

"Why did you choose Degas to study?" Anna asked again, "'Yuanrong' is easier."

"It's just too simple." Gao Fan said, "And I don't like the even and stable painting method."

Degas was different.

If Monet painted poetry, Van Gogh painted passion, Cézanne painted power, Gauguin painted tranquility, then Degas painted flames of color, and his works express life. The brilliance of the moment of the explosion, the dancing girls in his works, every rotation is a blooming of life, and every stop is a stillness of life.

Both Degas and Renoir are good at shaping characters. Renoir’s characters have delicate expressions, smooth skin, and moving looks, but Degas’s characters are alienated, lonely and far away. This may meet Degas’s definition of life. Although he was born Wealthy, but never married, loves art, but neglects communication, more often, he isolates himself from the prosperity, and looks at the world with a calm and conceited gaze.

Someone asked Degas why he didn't get married, and Degas said, I was afraid that every time I finished a painting, my wife would admire 'ah, what a perfect painting', yes, Degas was so proud and conceited that he even praised Neither want.

Speaking of this, I already understand that Gao Fan and Degas are very similar. The more he studies Degas, the more Gao Fan feels that his people and paintings are very similar to himself. As for the "harmony" created by Lu Guoying, it is just like Gao Fan As I said, it’s too stable, Gao Fan can’t learn it, and he doesn’t want to paint after learning it. If it’s easier to pursue something in painting, and you can’t do it according to your heart, then what’s the point.

Of course, according to Gao Fan's current state and his talent after abandoning the mystery, it can only be said to be hypocritical if he still picks three and picks four.

But Gao Fan has his own saying, the talent is not high, but his basic skill value is high, it is estimated that there should be 200 skill points, isn't it enough to learn one of Degas' master skills?

"It's more difficult, Gao. Your current paintings are full of craftsmanship." Anna said bluntly, "They can even be said to be mediocre and ugly."

From Anna's point of view, beauty is beauty, and ugliness is ugliness. She will always remember the line drawn by Gao Fan in the church in Provence, the magical line that made her hear the sound of music. At that moment, she felt like hearing the sound of nature , and now, Gao Fan's works, let alone the sound of music, do not even have aura, just like a long series of long and boring formulas.

"It's okay, I can stand such criticism." Gao Fan patted Anna on the shoulder, as if to comfort himself.

Gao Fan naturally has a tenacity.

He copied Degas desperately, hoping to find out the secret of the master's skills from Degas' paintings.

He even wanted to buy a few Degas paintings to keep in his hotel room, but gave up because the Metropolitan Museum would not sell them.

A month has passed in a hurry.

Wu Haoxue's winter vacation is over and he has gone back to China.

Anna was persuaded by Gao Fan to return to Boston.

In the Metropolitan Museum, only Gao Fan, who came early and left late, was left.

Even STK, who has been following Gao Fan for a long time, noticed his unusual behavior. After visiting Gao Fan a few times, the blond nurse confirmed that he was not contaminated by any mystery, but the curse of the gods should have stayed on Gao Fan's body .

So the blond nurse said to Gao Fan: "Do you need us to provide you with a solution to the curse?"
