Chapter 460 Why does this beauty have no face?
Princess Changsui glanced at the silent Jiang Youzhen and said, "Then I'd like to add some spice."
Princess Changsui had given fifty taels of silver before, and now she suddenly snatched a ruby ring from her hand and placed it on the tray.
When everyone saw it, their eyes lit up immediately.
The ring face is slightly smaller than the little finger nail and looks very pure. It is definitely not an ordinary item.
It seems that Princess Changsui is living a comfortable life after returning to the capital? The jewelry she wears looks much more precious than before.
Jiang Youzhen complained in his heart but remained expressionless.
"Let's begin!" The third prince looked around, and then asked everyone to move Princess Changsui's desk to under the maple tree next to them, and put up a curtain for her.
Everyone was in a state of confusion. How should they paint this? They had to depict both the face and the spirit. But you only half-covered it. Did they rely on their imagination?
Although the princess was sitting at the top before, they didn't dare to look directly at her!
The servants hurriedly prepared the four treasures of the study, and the third prince looked at Jiang Youzhen.
"Jiang Jieyuan, I haven't seen your painting before. You won't not participate in this competition, right?"
"The students are willing to give it a try." Jiang Youzhen smiled and then stepped aside.
He walked to the side and whispered a few words to a servant nearby, and the servant immediately left.
Soon everyone started competing, even Tong Huaian and Wen Ruyu joined in, and they lined up in two rows. There were a total of twelve people competing this time.
It is true that money can make people's hearts turn. Anyone who is good at painting will suffer the consequences.
During the time it takes two sticks of incense to see people painting on one side and reciting poems and composing couplets on the other side, it is quite lively.
After a moment, the Third Prince looked at Jiang Youzhen and found that she had not even started writing. Half of the incense stick had already passed. Did Jiang Youzhen plan to give up?
The servant finally arrived, holding a small box made of rosewood with twined twigs and carved patterns, which immediately attracted the attention of the Third Prince and others.
Jiang Youzhen quickly took it and opened the box, inside which were neatly arranged the four treasures of the study and various paints.
Fortunately, she now has the habit of carrying the four treasures of the study with her, otherwise she would have no reason to take out the paint.
The pigments rewarded by the system have wonderful uses.
Princess Changsui saw through the thin gauze curtain that Jiang Youzhen took out a porcelain bottle and poured something into the inkstone.
Watching Jiang Youzhen grinding the ink slowly and leisurely, his movements were smooth and flowing, his face was calm, and his relaxed and beautiful eyebrows and eyes were quite charming.
The ancients paid attention to the artistic conception when painting. Since it is a figure painting, it is more appropriate to do watercolor painting, and forget about freehand ink painting.
Once Jiang Youzhen immerses himself in something, he will be completely focused.
Two incense sticks may seem slow to bystanders, but to the painter, it is just a blink of an eye.
Zhu Yanqing was the first to put down his paintbrush. He glanced at Jiang Youzhen and found that Jiang Youzhen was still painting. He looked at Ke Zhenqiu, but saw that he was already chatting and laughing with others.
"The two incense sticks have burned out. Please put down your pens." Someone announced the time.
Jiang Youzhen just finished drawing the last stroke before putting down his brush.
"Shall we start tasting now?" Jiang Yansong took the lead and led everyone to gather around the table to watch.
"This one is good. The princess has a fairy-like appearance. This one is of a flying fairy. It's very elegant."
Jiang Youzhen almost laughed out loud when he heard Jiang Yansong's comments.
Was he praising the princess or the painting? This painting was just average, but he could still praise it without batting an eyelid.
She couldn't help but recall how she had praised the Fourth Prince's painting again and again. She still remembered Tong Huaian's expression at that time.
After learning to paint, she realized how shallow and shameless she was.
"The red maple leaves set off the beauty, creating a beautiful scene."
The crowd gathered around the paintings, praising them halfheartedly. Of course, when they came across a good painting, they would naturally praise it more sincerely.
For example, Tong Huaian and Wen Ruyu, although they are not very good at painting, they are definitely not bad.
At least the artistic conception and character charm were captured very well, even the princess's laziness was portrayed.
However, what everyone is most looking forward to are the paintings of Ke Zhenqiu and Zhu Yanqing, who are both masters of painting.
As for Jiang Youzhen, everyone was curious. Anyway, everyone was looking forward to the best effect in this competition.
"Wow! These two are indeed masters of painting. Their two paintings are so similar. They are so lifelike!"
Everyone couldn't help but compare the two paintings. No one expected that Ke Zhenqiu could actually compete with Zhu Yanqing.
Even the Third Prince and Princess Changsui couldn't help but nod their heads; these two were indeed equally matched.
Both paintings are very artistic, but the main focus is on the layout and artistic conception, as well as the princess's expression; her appearance is not that important.
At first glance, she is indeed a beauty, but at second glance, she is still a beauty, but the characteristics of beauty in my mind are a little vague.
Jiang Youzhen felt that these two people probably didn't have the courage to look at Princess Changsui carefully, so they just relied on their imagination.
In other words, the Princess Changsui in the painting is the beauty in their impression or imagination.
“Hasn’t there Jiang Jieyuan’s painting you haven’t seen yet?” The third prince took a few quick steps and came to Jiang Youzhen’s painting.
At first glance, he was a little surprised.
As I said, the ancients paid attention to artistic conception and charm, but when you look at Jiang Youzhen's paintings, the strong colors impact everyone's eyes.
At first glance, they were attracted by the painting.
The red maple leaves are as red as blood, but Jiang Youzhen added a little yellow, which is very bold in color matching. Just looking at the falling maple leaves, there is a sense of autumn desolation.
The ancients were always sad about the passing of spring and autumn. Isn’t this the artistic conception?
Look at the beauty under the maple tree. Because Princess Changsui is a widow, she often wears plain clothes.
Today she was wearing a turmeric-colored outer gown with a right-side opening and a cross collar. Both the inner garment and the brown pleated skirt were darker in color.
However, everyone was surprised by Jiang Youzhen's color matching, which was still turmeric and brown, but very bright and distinct.
Looking at the beauty's state, she is leaning back in an armchair, holding a red sandalwood fan in her hands. Even without looking at her face, one can still see her calmness and elegance from the way she casually holds the fan.
Everyone didn't know how to describe it, so they sketched it the same way. However, Jiang Youzhen managed to sketch out the beauty's comfortable elegance with just a few strokes.
However, the next moment, everyone was suddenly shocked, "This? Why does this beauty have no face?"
Everyone came back to their senses. They were attracted by the bold color combination and ignored the fact that there was no face in the inky hair.
Princess Changsui's face darkened. She wanted to see how Jiang Youzhen would explain.
She had just seen Jiang Youzhen's paintings and she liked them at first sight. Compared with other paintings that highlight artistic conception, she prefers to highlight her own.
Who would have thought that Jiang Youzhen would dare not paint his face? Is this because he dislikes her?
