Chapter 974: I Haven’t Finished Yet

“It means that the two gentlemen feel that these four paintings are worthy of being displayed,” Tan Mo said, “After all, the paintings are displayed for all to see. If they are really substandard, it will not only bring shame to Tan Jinyi, but more so to his teacher and senior.”

“After all, his teacher and senior are not some unknowns. They are both famous, well-known, and publicly recognized Master-level figures,” Tan Mo said, “Letting their disciple hang the unqualified paintings is also a disgrace to them. It proves that Mr. He Haoyan didn’t teach him well.”

“Since they allowed the paintings to be displayed, it means that the two gentlemen feel that these four paintings are qualified,” Tan Mo said, “Even the two Master-level figures feel that the paintings are qualified, but you say that they are average. It seems that your appreciation and artistic standards have already surpa.s.sed Mr. He Haoyan and Mr. Dong Yanzhen.”

“May I know how we should address you? You should also be the top figures in the art world!” Tan Mo nodded with a smile. “I’ve been disrespectful.”

Everyone present, including the five middle-aged people, could hear the mockery in Tan Mo’s words.

Since they were not as good as He Haoyan and Dong Yanzhen, they should not say anything about Tan Jinyi’s paintings.

He Haoyan and Dong Yanzhen had no objections, but they did?

Then they should show proof that they were better than He Haoyan and Dong Yanzhen.

However, they shouldn’t be able to prove it.

“Don’t make any personal attacks,” the middle-aged man in the cap said in a rough voice, “Him hanging up the paintings doesn’t mean that Mr. He Haoyan and Mr. Dong Yanzhen think that his paintings are qualified. Maybe they are just encouraging him, or maybe they want him to hear others’ opinions so that he doesn’t rest on his laurels!”

“Then tell me, where exactly does it need improvement?” Tan Mo pressed on, determined not to let these five people prevaricate.

You just have to open your mouth and we all have to listen to you?

If you say it’s not good, then it’s fine.

It’s not that you’re not allowed to say it.

If it really isn’t good, then they will humbly accept it.

But it’s obvious that these five people were here to cause trouble.

Tan Mo couldn’t let them off so easily.

As expected, the five were speechless.

They could not say anything because those present were either amateur fans or art students.

In any case, they were not as specialized as them.

Therefore, when they said the paintings were mediocre, these people did not have the confidence to raise objections.

But now, this hat-wearing little girl, whose face could not be clearly seen, was questioning them relentlessly.

It put them on the spot.

Tan Jinyi waited and waited, giving them a few minutes.

Finally, the middle-aged man in the black coat said, “His brushwork is too immature and inexperienced. He’s not skilled at all.”

Everyone was gobsmacked.

How was he able to see this?

He couldn’t come up with anything, so he just randomly found an excuse!

“Yes, the lines aren’t good enough either,” the man in the down jacket said.

As for which lines?

G.o.d knows which lines.

Seeing this, Tan Jinyi stepped forward.

He was wearing a baseball cap. Although he wasn’t wearing a mask, no one recognized him for the time being.

“You should all be professionals. You can explain the style of this painting to us,” Tan Jinyi said with a faint smile.

“Of course.” The man in the black down jacket raised his chin proudly. “We are all members of the Calligraphy and Painting a.s.sociation, and are all professional artists.”

“Teacher Lin has held an art exhibition before.” The man in the down jacket was referring to the man in the cap.

“Teacher Chen is also a very famous artist. He has published many books on the art of painting.” Teacher Lin, who was wearing the cap, reciprocated teacher Chen’s compliment.

“The other three are also very experienced artists,” teacher Lin added, “The five of us naturally don’t dare to compare with Mr. He Haoyan and Mr. Dong Yanzhen. However, we are qualified to comment on Tan Jinyi’s paintings.”

“Whether in terms of experience or artistic level, we are better than Tan Jinyi, a young man who’s merely a beginner.”

“No wonder all of you could see the method of drawing the wind in this painting at a glance,” Tan Jinyi said as if he was complimenting them.

Although the five people didn’t understand Tan Jinyi’s intention to stand out.

But from his praise, he didn’t appear to be mocking them.

In any case, they couldn’t hear it.

Therefore, they gladly accepted Tan Jinyi’s praise.

They felt that this young man was really complimenting them sincerely.

The five people raised their heads and puffed out their chests, looking very pleased with themselves.

“However, this is not the only way to draw the wind in this painting,” Tan Jinyi said. “The student just asked what color the wind in the painting was.”

“You said that the wind cannot be expressed using color, and can only be drawn by reference to other objects,” Tan Jinyi said, “But the wind in this painting does have color.”

Tan Jinyi walked toward the painting.

The people who were standing in front of the painting moved aside.

When Tan Jinyi walked to the painting, he waved at the student who had asked the question.

The student was unsure. He looked around before pointing at himself. “Me?”

Tan Jinyi nodded. “If you asked the question, then you’re the one I’m calling over.”

The boy didn’t know that the one standing in front of the painting was Tan Jinyi.

But he was still inexplicably nervous.

The boy came closer.

Tan Jinyi pointed at the waterfall and said, “This waterfall uses light green, light cyan, and a little sky blue color. In addition, according to the changes in the flow of the water, the green color of the entire waterfall also varies. The water splashes at the side. Look here, the three outer layers are flying to the side more obviously. And these water splashes are not caused by falling into the water.”

“Look, the splashes caused by the falling water are moving upwards. And this part.” Tan Jinyi drew across the air, “It is moving downwards diagonally. The angle of the outer layer is bigger. This is the effect of the wind, blowing them outwards.”

“If you have the chance to visit a waterfall, you can carefully observe; the water splashes on the outer layer of the waterfall and those that fly out are different from those that come up after falling into the water.”

“Isn’t that what I just said, using reference objects to create the impression of wind in the painting?” Teacher Chen sneered, “So, this is a trick. The wind in the painting cannot be seen, but using reference objects can make people feel it.”

“I haven’t finished.” Tan Jinyi smiled and ignored him. Instead, he continued to talk to the boy, “Look again at the color of the blank s.p.a.ce. You can start from the place where there are drawings, and then look at the junction with the blank s.p.a.ce. Can you see anything?”

The boy was a little confused, but then seemed to have discovered something. However, he did not dare to say it aloud, afraid that he would be wrong.

“Go ahead and tell me; it’s alright. No one has the right to mock a student who seeks knowledge.”
