Tokyo life starting with painting.

Chapter 369 No.1 Perspective Experience (4000 words)
When encountering the things he wanted to do in his career in his previous life, Higashinoji would easily become fascinated.

Seeing him walking further and further away, Hosokawa Koharu at the back took out his mobile phone and called Higashinoji.

But that didn't help much either.

Higashino's footsteps were getting faster and faster, and the louder Hosokawa Koharu's voice was, the faster his steps were.

This action stunned Hosokawa Koharu.

I'm not a ghost, am I?

Why do you walk faster the more I call you?

But Hosokawa Koharu is also a sensible person, she probably understands from Higashinoji's state that he should be thinking about something.

After hesitating for a while, Hosokawa Koharu stopped, fearing that he would call out Higashinoji's "creative inspiration".

Although she is not a manga author, she is still an editor anyway. Only when some manga authors think of some good ideas, they wish to keep all these things in hand.

She didn't make another sound, and watched Higashinoji leave the underground garage speechlessly.

Higashino Division is indeed thinking about things.

He is still debating whether to paint the scenery directly or paint other things.

Spring, summer, autumn and winter.

On the surface, this is just about the four seasons.

And the best way to express the four seasons is undoubtedly to express it with scenery—this is the most intuitive means of expression.

Take, for example, a tree.

Early spring looks like early spring, and the trees at that time should have sparse green leaves.

In midsummer, when the leaves grow and mature, it should be a scene of luxuriant branches and leaves.

Midsummer turned to late autumn, and the leaves began to wither again, and the shape of the leaves rustled and looked shriveled.

In severe winter, many leaves fall, leaving only bare trunks.
It will undoubtedly be much simpler to express the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter with this kind of scenery changes over time, and it can highlight the theme of the four seasons more intuitively.

But yeah.
Higashino Division really didn't want to see that his works were similar to the oil paintings of other authors.

But suddenly he was asked to come up with a work that fit the theme, had superb artistry, and contained profound meaning.
This is indeed too difficult.

Higashino Division returned to Higashino's studio, frowning and thinking, looking serious, with no good looks at all.

His expression made Qianxia, ​​who was seated next to him on the mountain, inexplicably feel a heavy pressure.

You must know that Higashino Division is usually smiling and looks very kind, but suddenly he showed a serious look
Naturally it stresses her out.

She even wondered if the recent production progress of "Unnatural Death" made Higashinoji feel dissatisfied, so Higashinoji put on such a face.

She moved her chair a little away, away from Higashinosi, for fear of offending the immediate boss.

Of course Higashinoji's appearance not only caught the attention of Chinatsu Yamagami, Yano Ryuichi, who had just finished handling the animation screening of "Unnatural Death", also clearly noticed Higashinoji's 'embarrassed face'.

what happened?

Why is the always optimistic teacher Dongye so pale?
He didn't understand the situation, but like Qianxia Yamagami, he knew that at this time he definitely couldn't take the initiative to touch Higashino Simei, so he took a step back and wanted to go around him.

But
"Yano-san." The thoughtful Higashinoji suddenly spoke.

Uh.
Yano Ryu, who was about to slip away quietly, suddenly had a subtle change in his expression.

And hearing Yano Ryuichi being hit, Qianxia on the side of the mountain finally let out a small sigh of relief.

She was relieved.

This kind of leader looking for someone to talk to did not fall on her.

Although I don't think Dong Yesi is the kind of boss who finds someone to vent his anger, but what if?
She just felt relieved and was about to stand up to fetch some water, when she saw Higashino looking sideways: "By the way, Qianxia, ​​come here too, I have something I want to discuss with you."

Uh--

The expression of Qianxia Yamagami, who was just relieved, suddenly froze.

It's over, it's over, I thought I wouldn't call my name, but in the end it killed me!
Both Chika Yamagami and Ryuichi Yano looked at Higashinoji in front of them.

As a result, they found that Higashino Division's expression became more serious.

This is really
Yano Ryuichi and Yamagami Chinatsu couldn't help but look at each other.

Afterwards, Qianxia Yamagami gritted her teeth, and stood up aggrieved: "Mr. Higashino, is there any punishment? Sure enough, it was the last time I was holding a thermos bottle in a daze, right? It was my mistake at work. Please also ask Higashino Teacher forgive me."

It's impossible for her to let Yano Ryuichi stand up and speak, right?

Yano Ryuichi is the chief animation supervisor, and it is impossible for her as an original artist to not even understand this little skill of being a human being.

Saying that, Qianxia Yamagami bowed.

Dong Yesi was taken aback by the other party's sudden performance.

Then he realized that Qianxia Yamagami was probably talking about the last time he painted "Only the Rain Knows", she was holding a vacuum flask in a daze.

But how could I criticize her for this?

Higashino Division really can't laugh or cry.

He called Yamagami Chinatsu and Yano Ryuichi here to provide some ideas and inspirations about the oil paintings of the four seasons.

After all, it was easy to do things with so many people, and inspiration wasn't something he could just sit on his desk.

He explained the general outline of the matter clearly.

Then I found that the tension on the faces of Yano Ryuichi and Yamagami Chinatsu receded as quickly as the tide.

"It means that Mr. Dongye has no creative ideas for the time being, so I hope the two of us can provide some opinions of our own?"

Yano Ryuichi asked clearly the cause and effect.

"Well. After all, it's useless to just sit and think alone." Dong Yesi smiled, and at the same time looked at Qian Xia on the mountain: "Qian Xia, you don't have to worry too much about the previous daze. You will be punished for such a trivial matter."

"Cough cough."

Qianxia on the mountain coughed twice hurriedly, her eyes slanted, she looked a little embarrassed: "No. I just... oops, let's not talk about this."

She changed the subject: "Mr. Dongye, let us take a look at the brochure of the New Century Art Association."

"Okay." Higashino resumed his usual smile, nodded and took out the manual that Nakahiro Kijima gave him.

That above is the explanation about the theme of this "Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter" Four Seasons Oil Painting Project Exhibition.

As long as the works with this theme factor can be exhibited, the subject matter is not limited.

In other words.

Whether it is a simple landscape painting, an abstract painting or an impression painting, as long as it can be presented, it can be exhibited.

"Since it's the four seasons, landscape paintings must be the first choice. But it still doesn't seem to work. Landscape paintings must be painted by many people, so there will be no characteristics at all."

Yano Ryuichi made a suggestion, but quickly denied it himself.

It seems that he can also understand the importance of art not obliterating everyone.

And this time it was a place like the Art Association, where there were many strong players. This kind of painting that was out of everyone's mind was brought out. Although Dong Yesi might be able to suppress many of them by relying on perfect painters.

But it is weaker in terms of creativity.

This feels a little out of line.

He was silent.

Several people discussed for a while, then Shan Shang Qianxia seemed to think of something, and suddenly raised her head: "Mr. Dongye, even if the theme of spring, summer, autumn and winter is not represented by natural landscapes, there should be no problem, right?"

"Well, it can be expressed without natural landscape." Higashinoji nodded.

"Then if that's the case. I have some crude opinions."

Qianxia Yamagami rubbed her head, thought about it and said, "Mr. Higashino, from childhood, to adulthood, to middle age, and finally to old age, can this correspond to the traditional seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter?"

She said it softly, while observing Dongye Si's face, she did not forget to add at the end: "Of course, this is just my own opinion. Teacher Dongye, you can completely ignore it."

This little girl was still as afraid of being blamed as ever.

but
Her suggestion was really good.

The process of human growth corresponds to the changes of the four seasons, spring, summer, autumn and winter.

This sounds very reasonable, and it makes sense logically.

Thinking about it this way, it's really okay!

And listening to Qianxia Yamagami's thoughts, Higashino seemed to have a flash of inspiration in his mind, and a lot of ideas popped up all of a sudden.

This subject can indeed be drawn, and it is even more difficult for Higashino to be able to draw people.

people and seasons
Childhood, adulthood, middle age, old age.

When you are young, you should have a grass-green background, with a bit of soft spring light, and a bit of Japanese-style spring cherry blossoms. When children are playing under the sun, the sun should choose the most breathable zinc white color.

Adults should have a yellow and blue tone, and when they are adults, they are no longer as innocent and soft as they were when they were young. When walking on the road, the strong summer light will also shine down, and it should be a bit spicy when shot on the body, which symbolizes After entering the society, we encountered various difficulties, so the color should be bright and long-lasting lead white.
However, lead white is a bit toxic, and Higashinoji seldom used it when he was a professional painter. He thought it would be safer to replace it with other white pigments.

Middle-aged people should have a yellowish background, and a single woman walking in the autumn forest should have a feeling of Volkov's "October".

Higashinoji tends to use ocher to bring out some rosy, soft and rejuvenating colors.

Old age corresponds to winter, everything is dead and silent, the eaves are covered with snow, and there are old people sitting under the eaves, looking at the bottom with a layer of calm ocher tones, just like the old people themselves who have reached their twilight years.

But if only this is not enough.

Higashino stroked his chin in thought.

It’s just that, in fact, it’s just the combination of people and landscape
Although there is a layer of meaning, but overall, the overall expression is too monotonous.

"A person's life is not just a bystander. This painting is the same. You can't just look at it from the perspective of a bystander."

"Hey?"

Yamagami Qianxia and Yano Ryuichi, who were still helping Higashino Tsukasa figure out how to draw, were stunned.

The two of them couldn't help but look back at Dong Yesi.

The important thing is not to be admired by onlookers.
It's about drawing a picture that everyone can put into it!

Yes, let them experience the changes of the four seasons in the painting, and the birth, aging, sickness and death of people.

If this can be done.
It is without a doubt an excellent oil painting.

Higashino Tsuka showed an expression of "I probably understand", and he was still chanting words that Yamagami Chinatsu and Yano Ryuichi couldn't understand at all.

This made the two of them look at each other in a daze.

"Thank you Qianxia and Yano-san, I think I should probably do something."

Higashino Division thanked with a smile, and then greeted Seo Daigo, saying that today he will not stay in the studio and go home early.

Seo Daigo was a little dumbfounded by the speed of the movement.

It wasn't until the back of him leaving quickly disappeared that Seo Daigo looked at Yamagami and Yano with a look of astonishment.

". Uh... I don't know what happened to Mr. Higashino."

Yano Ryuichi opened his mouth first to express his opinion.

Qianxia on the mountain next to her followed closely behind, also with a dazed look on her face.

what happened?

Just now we were discussing how to paint oil paintings?

Why did Higashino Division suddenly say 'Okay!I get it' look left?
Could it be that this is the world of professional painters?

It's like an abstract painting that is difficult to understand, it is completely incomprehensible at all.

Higashino Division did not wander around after leaving Higashino Studio, but went straight home.

As I said before, there is an empty storage room in his home where his painting utensils are stored. The oil paintings he painted for Higashino Chihaya when he was ill were painted in this storage room.

This place is actually very nice, there are windows on the top, the air circulation is very natural, don't worry about the smell of oil paints will not disperse and make your mind dizzy
This is common sense.

Even if it is a bit cold in winter, it is best to ventilate the place where you paint oil paintings, otherwise you will get a sore throat and headache.

As soon as Higashinoji returned home, he took a look at the canvas that had already been stretched in the storage room.
This canvas was nailed by his old friends in oil painting with a nail gun last night.

There is little moisture in the air in winter, and the layer of paste brushed on the canvas yesterday has begun to dry.

Judging by the situation, we should be able to start work directly tomorrow.

but
"Before that, let's get hold of this feeling first"

Higashino took out a sketchbook from the box next to it, and scratched and sketched on it with a pencil.

His painting movements are still as natural as ever, with his arms flung wide, looking like a painter.

Only 15 minutes later, Higashino Division has already determined the general frame of the overall picture.

Higashinoji did not directly start painting in the stages of 'childhood, adulthood, middle age, and old age' as discussed with Chinatsu Yamagami just now.

He first drew a pair of hands on the edge of the overall picture.

It was a pair of old, rough palms that could not be seen as male or female.
This is probably a pair of painter's palms, at this moment the painter is holding a paintbrush.

Because the hands are so vividly painted, it seems that the bystanders really feel that they have become the painter in Higashinoji's painting.

He slowly stretched out his paintbrush, as if he wanted to fill the blank canvas in front of him with paint.

Behind the easel is a cabinet, which is filled with various certificates and honors.
Some certificates have been yellowed, a symbol of the honor he received in his prime.

Some certificates are fairly new, and they should be the honors he has received in his old age, that is, now.

Higashino Division's details are well done, even if it's just something drawn with a pencil, it makes people have a special charm.

prime of life, old age
Yes.

Higashino Division wants to rely on this unique No.1 experience perspective.
Let the viewers experience the spring, summer, autumn and winter in the world painting in the painting and the painter's life.

"Let's see if we can succeed!"

Higashinoji looked at the basic framework gradually taking shape, and his eyes became interested.

This is the life of a painter!
It is also life, old age, sickness and death that appreciators can experience!
Doesn't that put you all in a ditch?

Higashinoji thought so, but the pen in his hand didn't stop at all.

Obviously, he has entered the state.

　Thank you Fate Qiansheng for your reward!Thank you very much—Extreme Calvin, I checked a lot of information.
