Chapter 605: Stallion Painting

Editor: Henyee Translations

There were always students in every academy who didn’t love to study but had no choice but to come to class. For example, the lecture hall that Gu Dajiang had entered.

Seeing a stranger, the students in the lecture hall looked up in surprise and frowned at him.

Gu Dajiang took out the paper he had just taken from Gu Yundong from his sleeve and carefully unfolded the paper. Then, he raised it for everyone to see.

The students in the lecture hall were stunned, but they still subconsciously looked at the picture.

There were two horses drawn on the map. Two horses that were running wildly and full of fighting spirit. The horses were drawn vividly. Not only were they realistic, but they also gave off the feeling of metal and war. One could not help but feel excited when they saw them.

It was just like how men nowadays treat cars as their wives. Those days, horses were men’s favorite, even for these students who studied in school all day and occasionally learned how to ride horses and shoot arrows.

The moment they saw the picture of the horses, their gaze was fixed on it.

Two people could not help but come forward. When the others saw this, regardless of whether they were interested or not, they would follow.

This was enough for Gu Dajiang.

“Your picture of horses looks pretty good. Did you draw it?” someone asked.

Gu Dajiang shook his head. “It was drawn by a skilled artist.”

“Skilled artist?” A student sneered. To say that the artist was skilled in the Tianhai Academy, which was filled with talents? Was he joking?

However, very quickly, someone realized that this painting was really different.

The layman only looked at the surface. As long as it was good-looking, it was fine. The expert looked at the technique.

Gradually, some students came closer to look at the composition of the horses, and some students who liked painting and calligraphy slowly became excited.

“This is a charcoal painting that has become popular recently, but this is the first time I’ve seen such a delicate and smooth painting. Look at these lines. They’re fine and powerful, and they’re dyed layer by layer from shallow to deep. Moreover, the effect of light and dark has a strong conflict, making the two horses look instantly tall and mighty, making people feel a terrifying pressure. It’s as if the horses are galloping towards you, and they’re about to appear. Good, good, this is simply too wonderful. People without skills can’t draw such a painting at all.”

“That’s right. This painting is the best charcoal painting I’ve ever seen.”

“Is that so?” There were also students who were not very talented in painting. Hearing this, they asked, “Better than our Academy’s Master Xia?”

“Although Master Xia has very high attainments in painting and calligraphy, he has only just begun to study charcoal painting after all. It does feel a little lacking.”

“Last time, I saw Master Xia throwing paper all over the ground. He seemed to be very troubled too.”

Gu Dajiang remained silent as he watched them discuss.

After a while, someone finally came out and asked him, “Brother, you said this was the work by a skilled painter. I wonder where that painter is. Can you introduce him?”

Gu Dajiang shook his head. “That painter keeps a low profile, so it’s not convenient to meet them. However, if everyone present wants to improve your painting skills, there’s a way.”

“What is it?” Someone immediately said anxiously, “I’ve drawn many charcoal drawings like this, but it’s always not smooth enough. I don’t know what’s wrong. Tell me, how can I improve it?”

There were also people who expressed their doubts. “Brother, aren’t you being too confident? Everyone encounters different problems. You only have one method, and not everyone can use it.”
