Rebirth of the 90s Academic Master Xiao Tuantuan

Chapter 215: During the Preliminary Competition

"Now all contestants are invited to enter the competition venue, and I will announce the painting theme of this competition later."

Then, a staff member took Nan Xishao and all the contestants who were sitting in the auditorium behind into the backstage one by one.

After entering the backstage, Nan Xishao realized that the competition venue was behind the curtain.

To be honest, Nan Xiyou felt that this venue was one of the best. Not only was there a table and chair for one person, but there were also table numbers placed on the table in advance.

The staff directs all the contestants to take their seats in order according to the registration serial number and the table number.

"Please prepare well before the competition. Now I will announce the painting theme and specific requirements of this competition."

After the host finished speaking, he waited for two to three minutes, and when he saw that most of the contestants were almost ready, he continued to explain the theme of the competition.

"Please keep quiet now, I will read the theme of the competition to everyone."

"The theme of this competition is: youth, please draw your own entries with the theme of youth."

When the host mentioned the theme of the competition, many theme elements immediately appeared in Nan Xirou's mind.

She roughly sorted out her thoughts, and gently wrote out the elements she wanted to paint with a pencil on the paper.

At this moment, Nan Xiyou didn't have time to look up and look around the entire competition field. If she looked up, she would find other people scratching their heads and thinking about how to express this theme of youth in painting.

This time, most of the contestants in the preliminary competition in Beijing are students who have graduated from elementary school.

Although it was written in the recruitment of the competition that the age limit for recruiting contestants was a little lower.However, there are very few who can sign up with their own portfolios. Probably only some students who have graduated from elementary school have their own preferences and portfolios.

This somehow added some pressure to Nan Xirou.

However, Nanxi Rou didn't care much about this aspect.

She is now concentrating on studying how to compose the whole picture, of course the theme of youth must be highlighted.

Nan Xiyou thought for a long time, and finally decided to use herself as the theme to paint the topic of youth.

She was thinking that the word youth is a part of everyone's life.

Therefore, Nan Xiluo feels that youth belongs to everyone.

She began to pick up a pencil and mark the position on the paper.

First, she determined the position of her character in the middle of the right side of the paper, and then added elements that are more important to herself in the half-enclosed position on the left side.

There are books, brushes, palettes, plants she likes, and some tall buildings.

After Nan Xishao determined the location, she continued to refine the content with a pencil.

After dynamically determining the position of the most central figure belonging to him, Nan Xilou began to draw his own appearance characteristics from the position of the head.

The first thing to determine is a curly hairstyle, followed by eyebrows, nose, eyes and mouth.

Nan Xiluo painted it very seriously, followed by the movements of the left and right hands, the left hand held a palette with paint, and the right hand raised its arm and waved it above the sky with a brush dipped in paint.

She then carefully detailed the surrounding supplementary elements.

She drew the appearance of different flowers in full bloom, down to the fine lines of the petals.There are also books opened above the heads of the characters, and the pages of the books are clearly drawn.

Finally, the part in the upper left corner belongs to the distant view, and Nanxisou added some small buildings, roads and a part of the sky.

After Nanxi Shao drew the composition of the complete painting, he stood a little further away to see if there was anything that needed to be modified in the composition.

While watching from a distance, she moved closer to adjust some positions that were not right.

It took about ten minutes before the composition and details on the screen met Nan Xishao's inner expectations.

Because, she specially brought the gouache paint box, Nan Xilu felt that the gouache paint is generally thicker and thicker than the color brush or watercolor paint, and the color sense is stronger, and more importantly, there will be a clear three-dimensional effect and front and rear Sense of space.

So, she decided to paint with gouache.

First of all, Nan Xiluo raised her hand, indicating that she needed to fetch water for the bucket, and asked the staff to take her to the bathroom to fetch water.

Then, Nan Xiyou dipped a small amount of cooked brown with the smallest pen in the Paibi to outline the sketch drawn with a pencil to determine the specific position.

The next step is of course the coloring, and Nan Xishao is coloring according to the primary and secondary relationship of the front and back.

Of course, the least colored one is the protagonist herself. She first carefully painted the facial features, and then further described the hair.

Because there are many details on the hair, Nan Xilou adopts the steps of first using the big relationship to color, and then painting the details.

In the end, Nan Xilou painted the hair with distinct roots.

In the following time, Nan Xisou involuntarily accelerated the speed, because the gouache paint needs to be superimposed in different degrees to highlight the three-dimensional relationship of the object.

This will affect the drying degree of the whole painting, so Nanxi Shao needs to complete the entry 10 to minutes in advance, and the remaining time is reserved for the paint on the painting to dry.

In fact, in addition to the part of the subject of the characters, there are more layers to be painted, and the color of the background behind can be less, so that the background and the subject can form a sharp contrast, and the overall sense of space in the picture will be widened.

Thanks to Nan Xilou's habit of wearing a watch, she can keep an eye on the passage of time in real time.

When Nan Xiyou finished the last stroke on the screen, she glanced at the watch on her wrist, it showed that there were still 8 minutes left for the on-site painting to end.

Nan Xiyou took a deep breath, thankful that he had recently practiced sketching, and his hand speed had improved a lot.

Right now, she doesn't have time to observe the completion of the entries of the people around her.

Nan Xixue was afraid that the effect of the picture would be damaged due to the dry paint when his entry was accepted.

She was very busy puffing out her mouth and blowing hard at the picture, trying to speed up the drying of the paint on the picture.

It could be that Nanxilou's vital capacity was not enough, and her little face was flushed red from exhaustion after blowing a few times.

She quickly stopped blowing and took a few deep breaths to adjust her breathing rate.

At this moment, Nan Xiyou moved her head, and suddenly remembered that the palette can also be manually fanned.

Immediately, she washes the palette out with the largest pad, then wipes off any excess drips with a rag.

Start to exert force with your wrist, and wave the palette back and forth over the entries, causing the wind to speed up the drying of the paint.

This movement is very good for exercising Nanxirou's arm strength, so she alternated her left and right hands to create wind.

When both left and right hands are tired, Nan Xirou will take the initiative to rest for a few seconds, and then continue.

Finally, the hard work paid off. In the last few minutes, Nan Xiluo touched the painting with his hands, and felt that the paint was completely dry.
