Tokyo life starting with painting.

Chapter 371 You Are Unreasonable When You Beat People (8000 words)
Maybe some people think it is a bit nonsense, and feel that changing the whole picture with just a few strokes is the plot that only happens in novels.

But in fact, in Konoe Suzuka's painting process as an art student, this kind of thing is actually completely commonplace.

for instance.

Let's say you want to draw a bright and youthful girl with glasses, ponytail, big eyes.

You have worked so hard to draw the face shape, the human body, the eyebrow shape, and a clean ponytail. It feels very good. It really seems like a sunny and healthy girl standing in front of me. .

But it is also in this process that you accidentally draw the character's eyes a bit small, and the corners of the eyes also have a feeling of hanging.
This will naturally break the previous impression of sunshine and health, but will give people a harsh and bitter feeling.

That is, such a few strokes can ruin an otherwise good-looking painting.

This is a bad example of 'few strokes' changing the whole picture.

And the oil painting of Higashinoji in front of me
"It can be said to be a textbook change."

Konoe Lianghua looked at the green mark and couldn't help muttering to herself.

It is indeed a textbook-like change.

Since Higashinoji used cool colors for the background, the appearance of this touch of green is very eye-catching, especially when it appears in the upper middle of the whole oil painting.
It's easy to draw people's attention here.

It's like a little green among thousands of flowers, it's hard not to notice it.

But eye-catching does not mean disharmony.

Because the cool colors used by Higashinoji have always been the calm ocher tone that alternates between warm and cold. It is estimated that a lot of white has been added in it.

This makes the whole picture look slightly warm and yellowish, which is almost impossible to detect if you don't look carefully.

But it is this kind of subtle depiction that makes the light green in the upper center of the picture very harmonious, without disturbing the surrounding background color at all.

In addition, Dong Yesi probably added some white when dealing with this light green, which caused the light green to appear slightly colder on the screen.
But it doesn't hurt.

Because the appearance of this touch of green actually implicitly means that the owner of the old hands in the painting is not as old as the harsh winter outside.

In his dying life, it turned out that there was still an indescribable vitality hidden.

The sense of decadence in the entire oil painting was swept away at this moment, making people feel much lighter.

People may feel lamented about their aging body, feel sad, and also feel lost.
After experiencing the innocence of childhood, the honor of adulthood, the frustration of middle age, and the aging of old age. In the end, it seems that the innocence and childlikeness of childhood have returned.

Four seasons repeat.

People may be the same process.

You may be old physically, but not mentally.

Severe winter, white snow, weak old man, green marks.
Obviously Higashino Division did not draw whether the owner of the hand is a man or a woman
But Konoe Lianghua has unlimited room for divergent thinking.

This uncertainty adds a bit of interest, just like the light green marks on the painting.
Also undecided.

But it seems to indicate that winter will eventually pass and spring is coming.

And when spring comes, will summer be far behind?Then came the bleak autumn and the cold winter.

This is another repetition.

The repetition of the four seasons.

In addition, Higashino Division used a unique 'No.1' perspective of expression.

It seems that it can really bring people into the world in the painting and experience the feeling in it.

This is how Higashinoji wants to express the theme of the four seasons of 'spring, summer, autumn and winter'.

"Mr. Higashino's painting is too good." Takahashi Yumi looked at the oil painting on the wall and said.

Then she touched her head again, and said cheerfully, "It's just a bit too costly."

Should it be said that it is Higashinoji?
Draw a picture and put it on the wall directly.

If she Takahashi Yumi did this, her parents would have to do a mixed doubles on the ass the next day.

Aoi Fujiwara next to her listened to Yumi Takahashi's comments and scolded her: "Stupid pig, this is the way professional painters paint. This is art. Do you understand art?"

Aoi Fujiwara doesn't really know much about art, but when looking at this painting, she feels an inexplicable and complicated feeling. She simply attributes this to the general word 'art'.

In addition, she still hasn't settled the account of Yumi Takahashi's blood spurting just now.

This of course has to tear her down!

Dong Yesi didn't care about the two of them, just shook his head with a smile.

The two little girls quarreled and quarreled, but their relationship got better and better. It really fulfilled the saying 'Best friends who have never quarreled are not real best friends'.

"A Si, are you planning to participate in some grand prize for this painting?"

Takahashi Yumi and the others were arguing quietly over there, while Konoe Suzuka was curious.

These days, she is really dying to study in order to enter Musashino University with Higashinoji.

Not only the cultural courses, but also the painting courses have not been left behind at all.

At least a few paintings have to be drawn every day to maintain the feel.

In order to study hard, she even felt that eating too much would make her sleepy, so she gritted her teeth and cut her meal in half.
I only eat three bowls for each meal.

It's just that the weight has not dropped as she imagined, and has always maintained an average value.

This made Konoe Lianghua wonder if she has been too nervous recently, and her psychological state has affected her physical state.

Otherwise, if I eat so little, why haven't I lost weight yet?

Listening to Konoe Suzuka's inquiry, Higashinoji also took the initiative to explain:

"Not to participate in the grand prize, but to participate in the art exhibition. In a few days, the National Museum of Western Art will hold a special art exhibition. You should know that, right?"

The Beiyi School Studio has always attached great importance to the upcoming art exhibition, so whenever there is news, it will notify the students in the studio.

Konoe Lianghua should know.

"Ah, did Asi mean the Four Seasons Exhibition?" Konoe Lianghua showed an expression of sudden realization.

The New Century Art Association is about to hold a four-season exhibition at the National Museum of Western Art. At that time, not only oil paintings, but also some sculptures and engravings will be exhibited.

She knows this.

That is
"Is Asi already able to participate in professional painter-level art exhibitions?"

Konoe Lianghua was a little excited: "Asi, it's amazing! It's amazing!"

Is your boyfriend already this powerful?

But soon, her excitement subsided.

Tonoji is really great.

But what about yourself?I have to work hard even to get into Musashino Art University, I'm afraid I won't pass the exam.
The gap between the two is too great.

It made her feel that she was completely unworthy of Higashino Division.

This will not work.

Thinking of this, Konoe Lianghua suddenly stretched out his hand, took the initiative to grab Higashinoji's palm, and looked at him seriously:
"Asi, I will become even stronger. I'm your girlfriend."

She was so shy that she couldn't speak clearly for a long time, and finally didn't know how to answer the following words, so she forcibly added: "Anyway, I will definitely work hard."

Her faltering, inarticulate appearance looks very cute.

Even Higashino couldn't help reaching out and pinching her face.

But then he patted her on the head again, telling her not to think too much.

You really don't have to think too much about it.

Anyway, even if you don't get into Dong Yesi, you have already paved the way ahead.

With Kijima Nakahiro's help, the problem shouldn't be too big.

Similarly, Takahashi Yumi, Fujiwara Aoi, Higashino Chihaya.
The university they want to go to is actually not a big problem.

As long as you ask Kijima Nakahiro, you should be able to gain something.

But in order to prevent these little girls from becoming lazy after learning about these things, they don't want to make progress.

Higashino Division has no plans to tell them for the time being.

It won't be too late to talk about these things with them after their test results from the first test to the second test next year are officially released.

and compared to next year
"Now you should concentrate on what's in front of you."

Higashinosi looked at the oil painting in front of him, his mind beating.

The Four Seasons Exhibition of the New Century Association will start from February 16th to NO.[-], a whole week.

In other words, Higashino has to complete this oil painting before February [-]th and hand it over to the New Century Art Association. This matter is considered over.

It is now the end of January, that is, January 31st, and there are still nine days before February [-]th.

Higashino Division's time is not too tight, but it is not too generous.

After all, for oil painting, it would take ten days and half a month just to paint casually.

"It should be in time."

Tonoji muttered.

The canvas should be in place tomorrow, and when the time comes, I can start painting directly while the inspiration is bursting. It shouldn't take much time.

But strictly speaking, Higashino Division is actually a little dissatisfied.

After all, nine days is too fast.

He also belongs to the kind of person who likes to enjoy the oil painting process slowly.
This hustle and bustle is not his style.

"It seems that I have to talk to Nakahiro Kijima in the future, so that he will not attack suddenly. If there are such things, we must notify in advance."

Dong Yesi murmured to himself, and then regained his energy and greeted a few little girls: "It just so happens that you are here too, let's have a meal at my house."

These days, they have been busy with college exams, Takahashi Yumi and the others hadn't been guests at Higashino's house for a long time, and they were also a little moved when they heard the other party's proposal.

So several people simply agreed to help Dong Yesi cook, and at the same time, they didn't forget to talk about the interesting things that happened recently.

Most of them are about Higashino Division at school.

Today's Beiyiju High School has almost become a sightseeing spot for other high school students.

Many people heard that Higashino Division studied in Beiyi School, and they would go to Beiyi School from time to time to check on the situation.
Especially for the school festival last year, Beiyijuku even specially invited outside staff to organize people from outside the school to visit the school in an orderly manner—because Higashinoji had too many fans.

The class that Dong Yesi attended was also surrounded so tightly that not even an ant could crawl in.

But at that time, Higashino Division was still preparing for the end of "Unnatural Death", so he didn't participate in the school festival, so these fans finally came with their intentions and returned disappointed.

Also because Higashino Division has not come to class for a long time.

Therefore, many people even wondered if Higashinoji had dropped out of school a long time ago, but the principal of Beiyi School maliciously concealed the news, and still relied on Higashinoji's golden signboard to gain social attention.

This attracted the attention of many people at the time, and even the media came to interview it.

So scared that Ryuichi Yoshimine presented on the spot Higashinoji's student status certificate and records to prove that he did not drop out of school.

In addition, there is Higashinoji's former ex-girlfriend Asami Zenaka.
There are also some incidents in which graduates of Beiyi School bid farewell to their juniors with tears.

Higashino Division listened to these things with gusto.

Anyway, it has nothing to do with him, he has already obtained the admission qualification of Musashino Art University, and now he just listens for fun.

We kept chatting like this until almost seven o'clock in the evening.

Konoe Lianghua's trio officially left - they seemed to be sleeping at Konoe Lianghua's side today, saying that there was still a study session to be held, so they couldn't waste any more time.

"It's really hard work."

Thinking of Konoe Lianghua and the others' expectations for college life in their conversation just now, Higashinoji also let out a sigh of relief.

Since Takahashi Yumi and the others have worked so hard, of course I can't just pass by in such a muddle.

He returned to his room and started painting "Hansawa Naoki" today.

This painting was in the middle of the night, which caused him to wake up a little late the next day.

But it was also a little later that Dongyesi, who had finished his breakfast, discovered the news on the Internet that the Uesugi Art Association and the New Century Art Association had formally joined forces.

And the most important thing is that part of the reason for the fight between the two sides this time is his Dong Yesi.

Because the report on "Tokyo Art News", which cooperated with the Uesugi Art Association, clearly stated his name as Higashinoji.

The content of this newspaper is very simple, just grabbing Dong Yesi and boasting.

He even found out the old account of Higashino Division's participation in the Tokyo Youth Art Exhibition two years ago.

He directly praised Dong Yesi as a famous painter who is rare in the sky and hard to find on the ground.

There is no delay in both comics and oil paintings, and the attainments in oil paintings are also very high, which can be called a rare genius in 20 years. Anyway, I will choose all of them to talk about.

He even compared Higashinoji with some famous painters in the painting world
I can't wait to say that there is only Higashinoji in this world as a painter.

These remarks were published.

Dong Yesi knew at a glance that he was flattering and killing himself.

If I played particularly well this time, and the oil paintings looked mediocre, then the content of the "Tokyo Art News" would probably become "genius manga writers revealed".

After all, no matter how high you hold it, you will fall as hard as it falls.

The sudden firing by the Uesugi Art Association obviously also attracted the attention of the New Century Art Association.

People on both sides launched a war of words in the newspapers under each family.

Even through the computer screen, Dong Yesi could smell a strong smell of gunpowder.

but
Higashino couldn't help touching his head.

He and the New Century Art Association are just a cooperative relationship?
Why don't you pay attention to basic morals when you fire?

It's amazing!

This happened suddenly, and he was pointed at the nose and praised, Rao Dongyesi couldn't stand it.

Alright
Since you have praised me so much.

Then if I don't use all my strength, am I completely sorry for you?
Higashino stroked his sleeves and decided to cheer up
It is bound to beat the Uesugi Art Association!
