Chapter 172: A-Rong who was frustrated

~6 min read 1,190 words

A-Rong looked at the paintings in front of her in shock. Laymen watch the excitement, experts watch the doorway!

People who don't understand painting might see "Sunflowers" and say, what kind of graffiti is this, it's drawn crookedly and doesn't look good at all. While in the eyes of an expert, its lines, colors, and composition are completely different. Even, what kind of mentality did this painter have when creating this painting?

And it must be pointed out that 18th-century Japan had already come into contact with foreign culture. In this era, Western watercolor painting and Eastern ink painting had already had a great influence on Japan, especially the Four Great Classical Novels. One of Katsushika Hokusai's representative works is Zhong Kui, and another great writer of the same era, Takizawa Bakin, loved "Dream of the Red Chamber" (in Fate, it is Kyokutei Bakin, a 5-star Rider, I like the art style, but I didn't pull him!!).

"The author of these paintings... is definitely at the same level as Daddy, or even a painter who surpasses Daddy!"

This evaluation is hard to say. After all, they are both world-famous painters and their directions are completely different. However, if we only talk about popularity, then Picasso, Van Gogh, and Da Vinci are indeed more famous.

A-Rong just saw too many of Katsushika Hokusai's paintings, so she would have strong curiosity about new things. This is very normal.

Thus, A-Rong was intoxicated.

You look at these paintings, you are clear that with your current attainments, you absolutely cannot draw works that can compare with these paintings. You quickly look at your father, Katsushika Hokusai.

However, Katsushika Hokusai also sighed helplessly and said:

"My life might have one or two works that can compare with these works, but, the current me cannot draw them."

This is not boasting. Katsushika Hokusai's representative work "The Great Wave off Kanagawa" is indeed powerful, but that was something he drew when he was seventy years old, and it would take a few more years.

After Katsushika Hokusai finished speaking, he turned and left here directly. However, before he left, he took down the notice left on this door and said:

"Sooner or later, my paintings will appear in this room. At that time, even if you give me ten thousand taels of gold, I won't... I'll consider it again."

Katsushika Hokusai left after speaking. However, you didn't leave. You looked at all the paintings in front of you with burning eyes. You feel that this is your heaven!

"This is indeed my heaven!"

Katsushika Hokusai immediately inherited the memory of the simulation. She appreciated these paintings, and she seemed to have finally found a way to surpass her Daddy.

Learn! Constantly learn! As long as she is diligent enough, with her talent, she can absolutely surpass her father!

"No! I must stay here and study and copy the paintings here every day! I must enter the hall and enter the room!"

Little A-Rong clenched her little fists and established a firm belief in her heart.

At night, everyone had already left. However, you were still fascinated by these paintings. You knew that you might never have the chance to appreciate these paintings again. Thus, at the time of parting, you suddenly said to the empty hall:

"I! Katsushika Oei! Although I don't have the qualifications to draw famous paintings that can be placed here yet, I will definitely be able to become the number one painter in Edo in the future! So! Please allow me to stay here and watch!"

You lowered your head and waited silently. You didn't know if you could really get the recognition of the master of this house, so you didn't stand up either.

You didn't hear anyone respond to your words...

"What! No! I don't want to give up this opportunity just like that!"

A-Rong was exceptionally firm at this moment. She really didn't want to let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

She had always lived in her father's shadow. She felt that her painting skills were not much worse than her Daddy's, and sometimes even when she signed her father's name on her paintings, no one could tell the difference. However, she was just Katsushika Oei, she would never become Katsushika Hokusai, no, she would never surpass Katsushika Hokusai!

And in A-Rong's eyes, no one in this country could surpass Katsushika Hokusai, so she couldn't even see the direction to move forward. And now, she saw it!

You knelt in this courtyard like this. You didn't know how long it had passed. Finally, you heard a voice sounding in your ear. He gently helped you up and then said to you:

"Get up, from now on, I allow you to come over every day."

"Thank you for your generosity!" You said happily. At the same time, you finally saw the face of the master of this house. You were shocked to find that this man was the god who manifested on the riverbank that day!

"It's him! Lin Ye!"

Instantly, A-Rong's eyes lit up. Right, this makes sense. Only this god-like person could bring so many god-like paintings.

You happily expressed your gratitude to Lin Ye, and he also nodded to you with a smile.

Day 4: You come to Lin Ye's house to carefully observe "Sunflowers". At the same time, Lin Ye also tells you the story about the author and this "Sunflowers". You are deeply touched.

Day 5: You come to Lin Ye's house to carefully observe "Mona Lisa". You and Lin Ye exchange stories about Da Vinci and Mona Lisa...

Day 6: You study...

Day 7:...

Day 1533: This day, when you are studying painting, you find that because of materials, many of your conceptions cannot be completed. Seeing your painful appearance, Lin Ye gives you a set of watercolor pens. You express your gratitude. You find that Lin Ye seems to have an interest in painting, so you propose to study painting with Lin Ye. Lin Ye thinks about it and agrees. At the same time, Lin Ye also takes out a set of painting books. You open the door to a new world.

Day 11: You and Lin Ye study sketching. With your amazing painting talent, you initially understand it. You find that Lin Ye is already quite proficient...

Day 15: You and Lin Ye study watercolor. You initially understand it. Lin Ye is quite proficient...

Day 20: You and Lin Ye study ink painting. You initially understand it. Lin Ye is quite proficient...

A-Rong...

Why does this Lin Ye learn things so fast? This guy! Is he really a monster!

A-Rong, this painting genius girl, was hit hard. And on the other side, Lin Ye was exceptionally satisfied looking at his own painting technology that was advancing by leaps and bounds.

"Proficiency Encyclopedia A+ is indeed the most useful."

Comparing the upper limit with A-Rong, Lin Ye indeed can't compare, because the upper limit of the skills learned through Proficiency Encyclopedia A+ is only B. But compared to the learning speed...

Young girl, you are really not good enough. ===== CHAPTER 174 =====
