He and It

After finishing speaking, he pondered for a moment and asked: "The art of painting is not based on speed and strength. It is about the beauty of the collision of aura and creation. Fortunately, we are all gods and can wait endlessly. !How much time do you need to draw the first painting?”

"Look at that human being!" Apollo said lazily as the bet was settled and he was confident of winning. "If he paints well, I will paint well. Only by letting him do it can he show his fairness and justice."

"Theme?" Xie Ning asked.

Zeus pondered for a moment and saw the Goddess of Love in the temple. Seeing her radiant appearance, he couldn't help but feel moved and said: "Look at Aphrodite, she is standing there very unhappy, seeing the gods making things difficult for her." My beloved boy. This is something that should not be done. You should know that as soon as she frowns, the beauty in the world will be reduced by ten, her mood will be depressed, and the iridescence in the sky will lose its color, so just use "Love and Beauty" as the title to make her smile. !”

The title was decided, the bet was established, and Xie Ning had nowhere to go. It was Aphrodite who took him back to her palace and looked at him worriedly.

"Oh, you reckless person!" She sighed, "Phoebus Apollo is young and energetic, and is not a very generous god. If you want to fight with him, you will make a big mistake. Treat those who have offended him. Man, he uses the scorching radiance as arrows. Look at Achilles and his lover Patroclus. They were all killed by the sharp arrows of the sun god on the battlefield of Troy. Even in Achilles When Si was born, Apollo also went to the feast and blessed his future.”

Xie Ning whispered: "I have no choice. Apart from this, I can't go to Tartarus alone...or maybe when Gaia wakes up, she can help me."

"During the chaos caused by Echidna, Earth Mother Gaia once opened one eye, and she woke up hazy for a moment." Aphrodite said, seeing Xie Ning's expression, she shook her head again, " Don't be in a hurry to rejoice, and don't be too busy to breathe a sigh of relief, Doros. Mother Earth has long since severed contact with Tartarus. Zeus will not tolerate the birth of a second Typhon. If you ask Gaia to send you to the abyss, Zeus I must use thunder first to completely destroy you without mercy!"

Xie Ning smiled reluctantly and shrugged bitterly: "Now I have no choice."

Looking at this poor boy, Aphrodite wanted to tell him that vicious lie, about deception, about the oppression of the old gods by the new gods, but after careful consideration, she quietly put it into her heart.

No, now is not the time.

Looking at Aphrodite, Xie Ning asked hesitantly: "Speaking of which, I am very grateful for your kindness to me, but... why are you friendly to me?"

"Because you are the most peculiar couple I have ever seen." The God of Love stretched out his little finger and pressed it against the side of his cheek. His expression was charming, and his posture and appearance were all charming. "Ah, without the golden arrow of love, how could a human be? Can fall in love with the devil, and the devil also falls for humans. Doesn't this show that love is unreasonable and blind? People or gods in the world, intelligent individuals, always want to pursue meaning in life, but love does not require any It’s pretentious, and there’s no need for any refutation!”

She turned to Xie Ning and said softly: "Therefore, whether you win or Apollo wins, this is the outcome I am happy to see. I will not give up because he is a god and once admired my beauty. Be partial to Him.”

After thinking about it, the goddess suddenly changed her attitude, and an angry light radiated from her beautiful eyes. She shouted: "No, you still win. I will never forget how Apollo was defeated in front of the gods." My face! He is so proud, as if the temples in Cyprus and Kythera have all turned to worship Him. Ah, you better win! Although He is the main god in charge of literature and art, but as for me, I want to give The manifestation of your beauty, after all, art has always been inseparable from beauty.”

As she spoke, she blew out a scent of rose petals from her palms, and the petals fell on Xie Ning. Xie Ning couldn't describe that feeling, but his thinking was indeed clearer and more open, and the colors in his eyes were brighter and more subtle.

"I will be your sponsor and provide you with the help you need." Aphrodite said, "Now, you only need to concentrate on preparing for the competition!"

In this way, Xie Ning temporarily lived in the palace of the God of Love. He wandered among the sea of ​​roses and flying white doves, and he already knew the answer to the competition question: he wanted to draw a portrait of Echidna.

Antelos, the god of love, found him special paper and pens for the gods. The paper was woven with cloud silk from the sky, and the pen was a piece of condensed starlight. Harmonia, the goddess of harmony, sent him precious pigments. It is a color extracted directly from the natural landscape and is in no way the same as the color extracted by humans from minerals and vegetation.

Anyway, they all became immortals. Xie Ning stood in front of the drawing board day and night without eating or drinking. While the inspiration was still there and the anger was still lingering, he dipped his hands in paint and immersed himself in the world of color mixing.

In the past, Xie Ning was too embarrassed to let go of painting in front of others because the techniques and theories he mastered were too advanced for this era. No one would show off their computing power to primitive people, right? Only in the underground palace of Echidna could he recall his teacher's instructions and demonstrate modern techniques. Now, Xie Ning no longer intends to pretend. He is showing off his skills on paper. The eternal wine has strengthened his memory, making all the forgotten learning contents in the past appear before his eyes.

Oil painting is affected by many factors such as light and shade, color, lines, texture, and light perception. As a new scholar of oil painting, relying on blessings and the blessing of eternal life on physical fitness, Xie Ning boldly adopted Velasquez's style for portraits. In his later years, he preferred the classical direct painting method. He manually modified the painting tools to better demonstrate the effect of glaze dyeing on the painting, amplified the contrast between the virtual and real colors, and exaggeratedly enhanced the highlights.

Even a layman knows that complex colors reflect superior skills. However, he did not intend to use too many subtle colors in the image of Echidna. Xie Ning hoped that he could recreate the primitive and simple divinity. In order to contrast the image of Echidna, he used a large number of transparent and translucent colors in the background, which was even better than Meissonier's multi-layer painting method. Progress.
