System: Card drawing in progress

Shi Nianyi broke the silence:

"This is Xi Lishen. I believe your memory is not that bad. You have forgotten someone you just met yesterday. Today he is here to experience our course. That's it. Please go to the back and find an empty seat to sit down!"

After roughly explaining Xi Lishen's purpose of visit, she arranged a seat for him and started the lecture directly without wasting any more class time.

"In today's class, we will learn..."

……

After teaching, let them experiment by drawing on their own.

Shi Nianyi was free again. Art class was not a theoretical class that required explanation throughout. At most, he would talk for a short while, and most of the time they would just draw on their own.

She only needs to judge them after they finish drawing and tell them their strengths and weaknesses.

Xi Lishen also attended a class. He felt that he understood it but not all. His foundation was still a little weak.

Seeing that they were all painting, he started painting too. His paintings seemed to have a spiritual aura that made people feel the painter's state of mind.

Just like the painting in his hand, it depicts a window and the scenery outside the window. He has eyes that can discover beauty, but an ordinary window and scenery allow him to paint a different kind of beauty.

The breeze blew, birds were singing on the trees, the leaves were swaying slightly, the sun shone on the trees, casting spots of light. A bird standing on the tree trunk tilted its head and stared at the spots of light that fell not far from its feet, as if curious about how they were formed.

Everything is frozen into a painting.

Unfortunately, his drawing ability is still somewhat lacking. His paintings are understandable, but he cannot handle the details well.

"The shadows in your painting are too thick, and the overall picture is a little bit off... But, overall, among those who have not been exposed to systematic painting knowledge, your painting skills are excellent and you are gifted."

Where there is criticism there is praise. Xi Lishen is different from her other students. He is not easily carried away by success because he can be happy to the heavens with just a word of praise. He is gloomy and has low self-esteem and needs praise and encouragement from others.

Teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, she has good teaching ability and her drawing skills are not bad either, otherwise she would not be able to teach in this school.

She is just rather lazy. She has no interest in the part-time jobs that other teachers are keen on. Instead, she prefers to make a cup of hot tea and read some books, or pick up a paintbrush and paint a few pictures, or go out to find inspiration and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

Even the dean knew that she had a lot of free time and introduced her to a part-time job.

She pointed out the flaws one by one and indicated the correct way to draw. When she finished instructing the last person, the bell for the end of get out of class rang.

The timing was just right, just as she had calculated.

The class just passed like this.

"Okay, get out of class is over. If you have any questions, you can ask me after class."

She had already given some instructions and no one stood up except Xi Lishen.

Nodding with satisfaction, today's work is done, and it's time to go home.

Wait, did she forget something?

Shi Nianyi picked up her bag and walked outside, but she paused and turned around to see Xi Lishen following closely behind her.

Okay! I almost forgot about this guy. He paid quite a bit for the tuition. I can’t forget about him.

"Come with me!"

Since we have decided to teach him, and we both have time today, we might as well start today.

She took Xi Lishen back home. Her house was a two-story imitation antique style house with an ancient flavor. Once inside, you could tell that it was not completely antique. It used electricity, and the two were well integrated. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

There is also a courtyard, hills and flowing water, as well as various flowers, plants and trees, creating a pleasant scenery.

It costs a lot.

Her work plus the money from selling her paintings was enough for her to live comfortably.

The school was built on the outskirts of Huainan City, but still within the walls. After all, artistic creation often requires a quiet environment, and the city is crowded and too noisy.

The air is fresh and the security is tight.

Some places are not very convenient, which is understandable.

Arriving at the studio, she opened the door.

"come in!"

I casually put the bag on the table. There were many paintings in the studio, all framed and hung on the wall.

Some are hers, and some are others’. They are all her collections. Maybe the prices are not high, but her love for them is priceless.

Xi Lishen followed in and examined the paintings one by one.

"These paintings..."

Some are special, some show superb painting skills and are rare good paintings, and some are relatively immature, which are paintings that he can draw.

There are ink painting, landscape painting, flower and bird painting, figure painting, etc., with varying levels of difficulty.

He was dazzled by what he saw.

"They are all my collections. Some I bought, and some were given to me as gifts."

She has exchanged paintings with her colleagues, and many students have given her paintings.

It can be seen that they are well preserved and their owners care about them very much.

"Okay, there will be plenty of time to appreciate it later, let's start the class!"

He took out new drawing tools and handed them to Xi Lishen.

"First of all, you need to have your own set of painting tools, right?"

If a workman wants to be good, he must first sharpen his weapon.

It’s too perfunctory that there isn’t even a set of drawing tools!

He had been using everything she provided him throughout the trip, and fortunately she was in the habit of preparing several sets of spare ones.

Xi Lishen felt a little embarrassed. He was indeed too impulsive and ran here without any preparation. However, he did not regret it.

On the contrary, I was very happy.

He likes painting, and he thinks he will never regret learning to paint, no matter when.

"Does the teacher have any recommendations?"

After we got familiar with each other, he stopped beating around the bush and spoke directly.

Shi Nianyi nodded. It is better to be simple in life. It is too tiring to guess all the time. She will stay away from people who always make her guess.

It has to be said that like teachers teach like students.

"Huainan City East District Meigui Road, No. 122 Huayi Hall, you can go and have a look."

There is more than one painting teacher in her school, and they teach different classes, but the relationship between the teachers is very good. They appreciate each other's paintings and chat from time to time.

She knew that this store was recommended by a teacher. She had bought things there and found them to be really good. So when Xi Lishen asked, she would not hesitate to share her experience.

Unfortunately, other teachers have different course times and also have part-time jobs, so they are usually busy and I don’t get to see her very often.

"Okay, that's enough of the digression. Your drawing skills are a little weak, so today I'm going to teach you the basics. They're very simple and crucial. I hope you'll listen carefully."

One was talking while the other was listening. Shi Nianyi stopped from time to time to give Xi Lishen time to practice, let him draw, point out the shortcomings, and then continue explaining.

He stopped only when he saw that he had almost finished talking.

People cannot always concentrate. They need time to rest and redirect their scattered attention.

"That's all for today! Practice more when you go back, and I'll check next time."

There is a limit to how much knowledge you can absorb. It is not appropriate to cram it all in and you won’t be able to remember so much.

Assuming that he could remember these, Shi Nianyi let him go.
