In the following days, Su Jing was still learning various techniques. He would ask Cheng Guyi many questions every day and then draw, but he never finished a painting.
However, everyone can see that his techniques are improving rapidly, becoming more and more skilled and perfect, and they are close to getting fully integrated with each other.
He started to learn more advanced things, like composition, mood, and so on, but there was something strange about it.
After he asked Cheng Guyi a few questions, he stopped asking them, wondering whether he felt that he needed to understand the artistic conception by himself.
On this day, the other students left one by one after the class ended, but Su Jing forgot all about himself and was still concentrating on his painting. In terms of meditation and patience, he had reached a level that was beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Cheng Guyi didn’t bother him and drew next to him. Both of them were concentrating on their respective paintings and soon two hours passed in silence and none of them stopped and continued to paint.
Soon, three hours passed, and then four hours passed but Su Jing was still drawing and Cheng Guyi fell asleep as he was getting tired and didn’t pay attention to Su Jing. When he woke up, it was already late afternoon. For some reason, he felt indescribably refreshed after waking up.
Unbeknownst to him, Su Jing woke up from his concentration state and found him asleep on the table. He felt sorry for him and let him go into Deep Sleep through hypnosis, and ran the Spring Leaf Technique to help him recuperate his body.
Seeing that Su Jing is still painting, Cheng Guyi is in awe of him. He is such a genius and works so hard. No wonder Su Jing is so versatile.
He is not from the entertainment industry but has many fans and judging by his hard work and talent, heng Guyi feels that Su Jings deserves all he had because he must have worked hard for them.
“Teacher Cheng, go ahead and rest, I’ll draw for a while.” Su Jing said.
“Alright, I’ll go first but you should also leave soon. It’s good to work hard, but it would be counterproductive if you hurt your fingers and damage them. Sometimes taking a rest would also benefit you. When you leave, remember to close the door.” Cheng Guyi said.
“Okay.” Su Jing nodded and smiled.
Cheng Guyi left, and there was only Su Jing left in the room. Su Jing stopped painting and sat quietly for a while, then muttered to himself, “It should be about the same, let’s try it.” He picked up a brush and began his first real Chinese painting.
The next day, it was Sunday again.
Cheng Guyi was the first to come, and after opening the door and coming in, he first came to Su Jing’s seat and looked at the painting Su Jing had left behind.
Although Su Jing did not paint a complete painting every day and whatever he painted was a combination of everything he had learned so it was nothing more than every technique and process combined together that was in disorder, Cheng Guyi still enjoyed looking at it because he could see Su Jing’s amazing rate of progress from it.
It can be said that teaching this kind of student gave him a very proud, exciting, and satisfying feeling.
Many people want to achieve something overnight, but reality doesn’t work that way, and teaching Su Jing in the past few days has made him experience a feeling of getting it done overnight. This kind of student has given him a reason to be proud in front of his peers.
What surprised him, however, was that Su Jing had left behind a painting that was not just a mess, and after one look, Cheng Guyi’s eyes widened and he breathed heavily with excitement: “Oh my God, how is this possible?”
He saw that the painting was that of a person, a beautiful woman. Cheng Guyi recognized it at a glance, the woman in the painting was his daughter Cheng Shiyao.
Cheng Shiyao is wearing a long dress, she was walking in front while looking back and smiling with a soft wind blowing her long dress and hair… This painting is so lifelike that it looked like a sober and refined beauty, standing alive before the person sees it.
In general, Cheng Guyi doesn’t like other men to paint his daughter, because many men have different kinds of thoughts in their hearts and most of their paintings end up being ordinary, and they can’t show the beauty of his daughter at all. However, he liked this painting very much.
“Teacher, what are you standing here for?” Several students came in and Cheng Guyi didn’t seem to hear their questions. He stared at the drawing on the drawing board in a daze.
A few students were puzzled and went up to take a look, and their eyes widened.
“Oh My God, So Beautiful.”
“This painting is of Shiyao, she is as beautiful as her real life.”
“It’s so lifelike, it looks like she is about to jump out of the painting.”
“My God, this was painted by Su Jing? Tha’s impossible, right?”
The students who saw the painting were stunned and dumbfounded.
One by one, more and more students came and were also shocked by Su Jing’s painting. After a while, Cheng Shiyao, Huang Jinghong, and Zhu Yan also arrived. They were a little puzzled when they saw the crowd surrounding them the moment they stepped inside.
“What’s wrong?” Cheng Shiyao asked.
“Sister Shiyao, just come and take a look,” A young man said with an excited expression on his face.
Cheng Shiyao, Huang Jinghong, and Zhu Yan squeezed to the front to take a look, and then their eyes widened in shock. Not to mention those who study Chinese painting, even if they don’t study Chinese painting, can still see the depth and quality of this painting.
“My God, this was drawn by Su Jing?” Zhu Yan couldn’t believe it.
“It was on his seat. Who else could have done it?” A young girl said.
“But he hasn’t studied Chinese Painting that long, how can he paint to such an incredible level, not only the technique is well used, even the mood is beautiful, this is too incredible.” Zhu Yan was astonished.
“It’s not like you haven’t seen his learning speed, he is simply a Monstrous Talent. I finally understand why he is so versatile. With this kind of Monstrous Talent, he can learn everything fast, how could he remain happy after learning just one or two things?”
“Su Jing drew Sister Shiyao so beautifully, is he interested in Sister Shiyao?”
“Sister Shiyao didn’t come yesterday, so that means Su Jing drew it based on the impression in his head which means that he remembered her image.”
“Hey, I seem to smell gossip.”
Hearing the voices of the crowd, Cheng Shiyao couldn’t help but blush and was embarrassed. No wonder everyone thinks so, after all, this painting is too beautiful, too charming, and it was painted based on impressions.
