Chapter 2129: Restlessness
At this moment, a group of people specializing in oil painting surrounded the painting, suppressing their intense killing intent towards Zhang Fan.
"Hmph, I just don’t believe we can’t find any flaws!" one of them said coldly.
Oil painting isn’t like traditional Chinese painting!
You can’t just glance at it and be done!
Oil paintings are comparatively complex.
This oil painting isn’t small; it’s over a meter and can be called a masterpiece.
Moreover, the most important thing is there are so many background elements!
There’s always some little flaw to find!
This way, they’d have enough excuse to refute Zhang Fan.
A painting with flaws, what’s it worth?
Not worth a damn! Hmph!
"Magnifying glass, bring it quickly!"
"Hey, what’s the deal with the easel in the painting?"
A surprised voice suddenly rang out.
In the next moment, countless eyes fell upon the easel in the painting.
However, the very next moment, curses erupted!
"Damn it!"
"Holy shit! Damn dog!"
"This is a double-layered painting?"
"Showing off isn’t supposed to be like this."
Really, the group was nearly driven mad.
As experts in this field, they knew exactly what this meant!
Oil painting has two extreme difficulties!
Big paintings are very difficult! Small paintings are very difficult!
Especially small paintings!
After all, oil painting is about resemblance in forms!
When enlarging an object by several times, the details need to be refined!
This process requires dozens of times the original time!
But to shrink an object by several times!
The issue becomes far more serious; you must ensure the reduced part is intricately painted!
It’s as if you’re writing on paper versus writing on hair!
One has to be extremely careful! A small slip means starting over!
After all, the canvas is only so big, and any amendment risks ruining what was already well-painted!
With oil paintings, many times, a layer needs to be painted multiple times!
If you make a wrong amendment, you’ll be at your wit’s end.
And now, this bastard Zhang Fan even dared to paint a piece reduced by over ten times!
Is he mocking us?
"Hmph, small paintings are the most likely to have issues, get me the magnifying glass, I want to check the small painting first!" one person shouted.
Soon, several magnifying glasses were brought over.
The people surrounding the painting immediately started examining it.
But soon, the expressions on these people’s faces grew more and more serious.
Because they discovered, every stroke and corner on this small painting was flawless!
Damn it, you damn dog!
If the small painting is flawless, what about the enlarged version above?
Three minutes later, the people with the magnifying glasses looked dejected.
"Outrageous, too outrageous! Not a single flaw!" one voice exclaimed, full of despair!
He was already a senior, and even he couldn’t achieve this level.
Don’t be fooled by this oil painting being just over a meter!
The actual objects count over twenty!
If they painted it, it would take at least half a month!
And in complete seclusion!
They could last at most three days before collapsing!
Half a month would drive them insane!
Not to mention there’s a small painting below!
It would take at least one and a half months to finish!
Not to mention, there are no flaws.
"The most outrageous thing isn’t this, but that the two paintings are completely identical! It’s just like copy and paste!
Whether it’s the colors or brushstrokes, they’re exactly the same! This requires tremendous brush control and composition skills!" another person said dejectedly.
"Ugh, are you blind? Isn’t the most outrageous part the lack of any amendment traces?
Not a single one!" one person shouted in frustration, pulling their hair.
Hearing this, everyone around felt their skin crawl!
In oil painting, amendments are common!
However, the traces of amendments, no matter how well hidden, are detectable.
Especially since they had magnifying glasses!
If they can’t see it, they must be blind!
Without any amendment traces, even Tang Shang couldn’t achieve that!
This is impossible!
Immediately, the crowd surged forward, snatching the magnifying glasses from others’ hands to look closely!
Five minutes later, exclamations resounded.
"Goddamn, truly no amendment traces!"
"Holy shit, this is absolutely impossible. Even Professor Tang Shang couldn’t manage this."
Upon hearing this, Li Liang, who was in a state of extreme shock, turned his gaze towards Tang Shang.
At this moment, cold sweat the size of beans was rolling down Tang Shang’s forehead, constantly slipping down his cheeks.
He had seen much more than these others!
What bullshit flaws, what bullshit amendments! These don’t even matter!
These damn paintings are layered by color!
And not by the structure of the objects!
Moreover, each color layer was only used once!
From the beginning, ten whole minutes, he was confirming that!
This was also why he hadn’t said a single word during this time!
At this moment, his inner world was filled with endless shock!
Because this was a painting technique that had never appeared in the world!
Most importantly, this painting was done with layering based on colors for all objects.
How could this be!
"Old Tang, say something, come on, evaluate my student’s work!" Huang Shansheng said with a cold smile.
At that moment, Tang Shang suddenly looked at Huang Shansheng: "Impossible, absolutely impossible!
This is a new genre, even I couldn’t paint like this.
Do you even have a clue how old your student is? Can he create a new genre?
How could it be!
For thirty years now, countless master oil painters worldwide haven’t created a new genre, yet this kid could, how?
This absolutely wasn’t painted by him!"
Upon hearing this, everyone around felt their hair stand on end!
All eyes were fixed on Tang Shang, full of disbelief.
A new genre has been born?
Seriously?
It’s known that in the world, a group of incredibly dull oil painting experts established a research base!
This base was dedicated to researching new innovative methods for oil painting!
This base has been around for thirty years, and no information has been disclosed!
And now, suddenly a new genre appears?
And it’s at Tsinghua?
This can’t be![p]
This painting, though exquisitely excessive, doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a new genre!
Why didn’t we see it?
At that moment, countless eyes turned to Zhang Fan.
"Don’t look at me; creating this painting killed many of my brain cells. I don’t have the spare time to repaint for you! Just go check the surveillance yourselves!" Zhang Fan raised his hand, pointing at the camera in the corner of the studio.
The reason no one else is allowed in a top-grade studio is there’s another reason!
And that was because the things in the studio are extremely expensive!
Like the rice paper Zhang Fan uses for traditional Chinese painting!
Seven hundred per sheet!
A single brush costs one or two thousand!
The contents of a top-grade studio are worth nearly a hundred thousand! How could ordinary people be allowed inside!
Immediately, a commotion broke out!
"Check the surveillance!"
"Quick! Fast! Immediately, right away!"
Countless people roared!
If this painting was indeed done by Zhang Fan, Tsinghua would become famous overnight!
It might even shock the world!
