Chapter 175: Painting Excellence
"Ayao, let's not talk about this for now. You should take part in the competition well today. You can paint on the drawing table over there and be judged on the spot." Yang Qianxun helped Su Yueyao get off the carriage and pointed to the drawing table.
Su Yueyao looked at the place Yang Qian pointed to and thought it was not bad. It was still some distance away from the crowd so she wouldn't be disturbed by the noise.
When someone in the crowd saw Su Yueyao, the scene suddenly became lively, with countless eyes looking at Su Yueyao and the others, and everyone talking about it.
Su Yueyao withstood the murderous gazes and walked step by step to the stage. When she looked up, she saw three masters sitting there, including the familiar Master Zhou.
Su Yueyao bowed to the three teachers.
When Master Zhou saw Su Yueyao, he said to her with a smile, "Miss Su, I didn't expect to see you again so soon."
"Yes! How are you these days, Master Zhou?" Su Yueyao smiled and bowed again.
Although his wife was not a very good person, her identity as a painter was confirmed by Master Zhou himself, so she was still very grateful to Master Zhou.
"I'm doing fine lately. Miss Su can come to the Xiao Mansion to see me when you have time." Master Zhou said with a smile.
"Okay, Master Zhou."
The other two masters looked at Master Zhou. They didn't expect that he and Miss Su knew each other, and they sounded familiar with each other.
"Ms. Su, here are the painting topics. Please come forward and draw one!" said one of the teachers.
"Okay, Master." Su Yueyao walked to the tray and picked one up at random.
When she opened it and took a look, it turned out to be a picture of an animal. It seemed that she had never drawn before.
After the three masters looked at it, they all looked at Su Yueyao at the same time, because animal painting was the weakest point in the entire Fengluan Kingdom, and almost no painter was good at it.
In particular, Master Zhou felt a moment of regret in his heart. He knew that Su Yueyao was good at figures, landscapes and flowers, and it seemed that she had never painted animals before.
If she made a mistake and failed the evaluation, it would be a loss for the painting studio. Originally, Su Yueyao's level was enough for her to enter the painting studio.
"Ms. Su can go paint now. The time is within two hours."
"Okay Master."
Su Yueyao was already forming a picture in her mind at this time, but she was actually not sure whether the animals here were the same as those in modern times, but some of them the original owners had memories of.
There are big beasts in the mountains, namely tigers, black bears, wolves, dogs, birds, deer and the like.
She can draw what is here, and if it is not here, she can also draw it as her imagination.
She seemed to have an inspiration. After all, she had read Shan Hai Jing in modern times, and the pictures and text descriptions were particularly beautiful.
Su Yueyao started to paint. She planned to focus on landscape painting and draw small animals one by one.
Other subjects were also being evaluated in other stands. Including Su Yueyao, there were four people in total in painting. Yang Qianxun's sister was also being evaluated in calligraphy.
But Su Yueyao had the most people surrounding her.
Time passed slowly, and Su Yueyao gradually became immersed in painting.
She focused on sketching a magnificent scene: rolling mountains, and on the top of one of the mountains, a mysterious and majestic black dragon and a bright red phoenix soared into the sky together.
In the mountains, a majestic tiger stood proudly on the edge of a cliff, overlooking everything below.
There is a clear stream flowing along the foot of the mountain. A clever and cute little deer is drinking water by the stream, and there is also a little rabbit that has just poked its head out of the cave and is looking around curiously.
On the branches, a few happily singing birds add a sense of vitality and vigor.
In the distant trees, a group of lively monkeys are busy picking ripe peaches. Their figures bring more vitality to the whole picture.
These animals seem to have life, lifelike and full of lively beauty.
The three masters stood behind Su Yueyao and looked at the painting in front of them, their hearts filled with shock and admiration.
But Su Yueyao was completely unaware of this at this time. She was immersed in her own painting world, constantly waving the brush in her hand, depicting one amazing painting after another.
Under Su Yueyao's pen, the magnificent picture gradually unfolded before everyone.
Their faces were filled with surprise and admiration. They had never thought that such a young woman could paint such exquisite paintings. It was truly amazing.
When two hours were up, Su Yueyao put down her paintbrush, looked at her painting, nodded with satisfaction, and turned around to find that the three teachers were staring at her painting without blinking.
"Well... Teachers, I've finished my painting. You can judge it."
"Who taught you this painting, Miss Su? I have never seen such a good painting." Master Li said with some excitement.
"Actually, I am not valued by the Su family in Yi County. I usually prefer painting, but the Su family doesn't like my painting. One time when I was painting outside, I met an old man. He taught me several times, and I haven't seen him since then." Su Yueyao thought for a while and said.
She felt that the painting was a bit shocking and that it might not be convincing enough if she taught it on her own, so it would be better if a blurry person appeared at this time.
"Does Miss Su still remember what that old man looks like?"
"I can't remember, and the old man always had his face covered. He also specifically didn't let me mention his existence outside." After Su Yueyao finished speaking, the three teachers immediately showed disappointment on their faces.
"Let's have a competition! I think Miss Su's paintings are top-notch." Master Li said directly to Master Zhou and Master Huan.
"Miss Su is the best." The two said directly after hearing what Master Li said.
Finally, there was a gong strike and a servant spoke specifically.
After Su Yueyao's paintings were displayed, the scene suddenly became chaotic.
"Oh my god! Such a beautiful painting! This is the first time I've seen animals painted so vividly."
"Are those dragons and phoenixes? And is that a giant insect standing in the mountains?"
“This is the first time I’ve seen so many animals!”
"Ms. Su is so great! I want to marry him, even if he has to be my waiter."
"I also want....."
"And me..."
"..."
The three masters in the painting studio looked at the exciting scene in front of them and immediately arranged for people to guard the painting. This painting would be displayed in the library of the Museum of Literature in the future and could not be destroyed by anyone!
Every year, the top-ranking works that pass the evaluation will be collected.
But they failed to guard against Her Majesty the Queen. After Her Majesty asked the painting studio to present the painting, she never returned it. Of course, this is a story for later.
Su Yueyao was surrounded by a group of people. When she didn't know what to do, Yang Qianxun and Lu Yuanjin squeezed over and protected her.
