On Friday, Xu Shan and Yuan Ya went home after class, leaving Wen Xi alone in the dormitory.
She opened the cabinet and took out the drawings she had saved and began to look at them one by one.
During the day, Lemon said that when the He family was looking for someone to paint, not just anyone could try. They had to pass the preliminary selection first.
The so-called preliminary selection means that you first send one of your paintings and contact information to the designated email address. If the other party approves, you will be contacted further.
Considering that they were going to paint a person, she finally chose a portrait.
This painting was the last one she drew before her right hand was injured, and it is very impressive.
It was a field trip organized by the Children's Palace. Many people longed to visit an island, so the teacher took us to a small island. Due to transportation problems, the island was not developed until recently, but the scenery was truly beautiful.
On that dreamy island like the fairyland of Penglai, she was inspired and painted several paintings in a row.
There are scenery, people and animals.
And this painting of the Pearl Divers is the one she is most satisfied with among all these paintings.
Before the island was developed into a scenic spot, the people there were very poor. Due to the scarcity of other resources, they mainly relied on pearl diving for a living.
Pearl diving is arduous and dangerous. While underwater, they risk oxygen deprivation and encountering ferocious fish. Injuries are common, and they can even lose their lives.
After the development of tourism, many people no longer work in this industry. However, the pearl diver in the painting comes from a very poor family. Her parents died early in an accident while pearl diving, leaving her and her younger brother to depend on each other for survival.
She didn't have the money to open a B&B or restaurant like other people. In order to support her younger brother's education, her family was so tight on money that they didn't even have the money to start a small business.
Fortunately, in order to attract tourists, the local department took the lead in organizing pearl diving performances. The performances did not require deep diving and sufficient protective measures were taken. She passed the assessment and got the job.
In order to get better pearls, pearl divers have their eardrums punctured from childhood to resist the pressure of the deep sea. Soon after her eardrum was punctured, she became deaf.
But the girl didn't seem to feel how miserable she was. She was smiling whenever she saw her, a very happy smile, a smile from the bottom of her heart.
When watching her performance again, Wen Xi couldn't help but draw this picture.
The girl in the painting is under 20, with dark skin, white teeth, and bright eyes. Her hands are clinging to the side of the boat, her body mostly submerged in the azure water, and she's about to begin her performance.
The captain was gesturing with his hands and telling her something.
As the sea and sky merge into one, she tilted her head slightly, and her smile was even brighter than the scorching sun above her head. She was full of endless passion and hope for life, and her radiant vitality was deeply infectious.
Wen Xi named this work "Proud Sun".
She was in excellent condition when she painted this picture.
She is talented and has excellent painting skills. Her paintings are full of spirit.
Whether it is people or flowers and plants, under her brush, they all seem to be infused with souls. Anyone who has seen her paintings will be moved involuntarily and deeply immersed in the world of the paintings.
The same is true of this painting.
Even looking at her original work from today's perspective, she still thinks it is very good.
Wen Xi was confident that this work would have no problem passing the preliminary selection.
She took a photo of the painting and sent it to a designated email address along with her contact information.
After finishing all these, I read some books and practiced my daily sketches before taking a break.
After a good night's sleep, I woke up to daylight. Outside the window, birds chirped non-stop, a gentle breeze picked up, and the faint fragrance of osmanthus drifted into the room, leaving me feeling refreshed.
After washing up, Wen Xi went to the mall in high spirits.
