There are many artists performing in Piazza San Marco.

Jiang Zhe stood in front of the sketching easel and painted, which attracted many onlookers.

He was holding the prize he had just won. On the sketchbook on the easel, a landscape painting was gradually taking shape.

The foreground of the painting includes tourists, pigeons, and roads; the midground includes buildings on the square; and the background is the fusion of the building outlines and the sky.

He dipped his paintbrush in highly saturated green and smeared it on the canvas, allowing the colors to blend quickly.

Little Amy had finished her sketching and was sitting nearby, watching with her chin in her hand.

I didn't understand what Jiang Zhegang had drawn, but I didn't ask, I just kept watching.

Jiang Zhe examined the picture and felt that the spatial levels in the painting were not separated.

His technique is already very mature, and a little bit of portrayal makes it appear very realistic, but in doing so, it is easy to lose track of the main and the secondary.

Therefore, we boldly covered the backlight part with a layer of gray-blue, making part of the image hazy but vaguely distinguishable.

In this way, the layers of foreground, midground and background are suddenly opened up. At the same time, the green and blue areas in the painting become more prominent.

These colors are warm and bright, like well-maintained gems, and they blend into the overall tone of the painting without appearing harsh.

Jiang Zhe looked at the overall effect and felt that it had achieved the desired effect, so he stopped painting and waited for the picture to dry.

"Finished?" asked little Amy.

Jiang Zhe nodded: "It's finished."

"Now I know why you won the award. It's amazing that you can use colors to such an extent." Little Amy almost saw the process of Jiang Zhe painting.

In the beginning, Jiang Zhe painted very boldly. Large amounts of color and water were quickly applied to the canvas, completely covering the pencil draft, with many colors blended and superimposed.

She once thought that Jiang Zhe's painting was ruined and he couldn't clean up the picture.

But as Jiang Zhe painted, some colors that looked messy and even had no idea what they were used for gradually revealed their functions.

Little Amy asked about several techniques for expressing space using color.

These questions are not difficult, Jiang Zhe answered them one by one.

Although little Amy is talented, her talent seems to be a little crooked. She likes weird painting styles.

Despite this, she still admires Jiang Zhe very much.

Jiang Zhe also understands that for some painters, it is very easy to learn classical painting and figurative painting, while for some painters, it is very difficult to learn figurative painting or realistic painting.

The two have different understandings of painting, but this does not prevent them from being friends and exchanging views.

Jiang Zhe was very satisfied with today's sketch. After reviewing it with the system, he learned that the work had reached the level of a masterpiece. It is difficult to create a masterpiece of the level of a masterpiece. It is not easy to create a masterpiece.

The continuous victories and gains made him happy and relaxed when painting. He felt free from the burden and unconstrained, which was very comfortable.

He felt that this state was suitable for painting.

At this time, some onlookers saw Jiang Zhe stop sketching and left. A few people came to greet Jiang Zhe and even asked for a photo.

From the conversation, Jiang Zhe learned that two people recognized him and knew that he won an award at the Biennale. This made him feel a little proud, and he happily agreed to take a photo. A woman with brown curly hair came over to greet Jiang Zhe. She said her name was Yania, and she came here to participate in the event today. She also recognized Jiang Zhe and wanted to take a photo with him. After the two took the photo, she also left her contact information.

After the woman left, Amy took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and said to Jiang Zhe: "The girl didn't know you before she said hello. She didn't come to see your paintings."

Oh? Jiang Zhe was surprised. Just now, several people wanted to take a photo with him because they recognized him. "Why do you say that?"

Little Amy said, "When you were painting, many people stared at your painting. But this girl stared at your face most of the time, and even--" Her eyes moved down from Jiang Zhe's face. "I have to say, your figure is really good, it fits the classical aesthetic very well, and has a strong visual impact."

"Oh, really? Thank you!" Jiang Zhe was wearing short-sleeved clothes and felt a little embarrassed by what he said.

Seeing that Jiang Cheng seemed unconvinced, Little Amy said, "I'm not talking nonsense. Just now, several girls were looking at you, but this one was the most daring.

I suspect that if you just call her, you will soon gain her special friendship."

Jiang Zhe recalled the girl, her fair skin and relatively soft facial features compared to the people here, which was quite in line with his aesthetic taste. However, he didn't dare to do anything rash in a familiar country.

In order to avoid being teased, he took the initiative to say, "At your age, it seems that you shouldn't talk about this topic yet, right?"

Little Amy said: "I am already 18 years old, but I don't like your type."

"Okay, where do we go next?"

"I noticed that you are interested in both St. Mark's Basilica and St. Mark's Library. How about I take you to see a special church?"

Little Amy took Jiang Zhe on a tour and explained what she knew about the architectural development of Venice.

From the elements of Byzantine style to the typical features of Gothic style, we also talked about several well-known buildings in Venice and the combinations of different styles.

Little Amy and Jiang Zhe started their boat trip.

Although the smell of the water is not very pleasant, sitting on the boat, you don’t have to worry about the direction, saving the effort of walking, and you can concentrate on enjoying the scenery on both sides.

Little Amy obviously had some knowledge of architecture, and the crew member in charge of the boat was also very talkative.

"The St. Mark's Basilica we see here took centuries to build, and Venice was at its peak of wealth during that time."

"The prosperity of trade made the Venetians enthusiastic about the construction of the city-state. Magnificent churches and palaces were built everywhere. The free and open atmosphere and unique geographical environment also made Venice's architecture unique. In the 16th century, Venice was actually seeking a new style in all fields, including architecture, and was also developing towards a new style..."

“No one can remain indifferent to Venice. This city-state has written its rich and dazzling history into its architecture. Traditional classical aesthetics and gorgeous exotic customs are all accepted here.”

As little Amy explained, their boat slowly approached a church.

The church has a beautiful shape, and what is even more peculiar is the reflection of the building in the water, which forms a unique visual impact with the building itself.

At the same time, Wang Zhen was communicating with a business manager from Christie's.

The two talked for a while and then left.

Wang Zhen visited several clients one after another and got some information.

Time Auctions and Christie's Auctions were ambiguous about Francesca's proposal.

They also want to know who the client, or the real buyer, is, and have narrowed down their target to three people.
