Chapter 129: 129
Chapter 129 – Wind, Water, Cloud (4)
“This is a distant view . The viewing angle was from a tall mountain up top . Looking from high to low and obstructed by the cloud, they couldn’t make out the emperor’s carriage clearly . ”
Gu Shishi smiled and said, “That’s exactly right . ”
The bouffant dress girl’s eyes widened . That worked?
She thought Gu Shishi would go for a nature painting and had already prepared her sarcasm .
“What about the wind? How come the wind didn’t blow the cloud away?”
She gritted her teeth .
Gu Shishi tosses the paint brush away . “I’m not done yet . What’s the rush?”
She switched to a narrower brush, dipped it in some ink . Then, she etched out two identical flags on both sides of the city wall, covered in the fog .
The flag posts were tall and straight and the flags waving in the air . The stiffness of the flag posts was softened by the flags .
Ling Xiaomei’s eyes beamed instantly!
“Look, here’s your wind,” said Gu Shishi in rebuttal .
“Okay, so what about water? There’s no way there will be water in the city from this angle!” said the bouffant girl with her teeth gritted .
Gu Shishi smiled . Moving her paint brush a little, she etched out the tiles on top of the roof, leaving a lot of white spaces in between the tiles .
She then added an antique watchtower and a barbican . Detailing out the layers of tiles, the lines sometimes bending and turning… forming a lot of water puddles…

It didn’t take too long for the bouffant dress girl’s face to turn very colorful .
Ling Xiaomei had turned into a fan of Gu Shishi . There were stars in her eyes as she looked at Gu Shishi, and they were filled with worship and admiration .
“The rain landed on top of the structures turned into puddles . And that’s your water!”
Gu Shishi put her paint brushes away and nodded .
“These are all little tricks . Meimei, you only need to spend some time thinking about it and would be able to come up with this as well . You just hadn’t have the time to think it through; otherwise, you will be able to draw this as well . ”
Ling Xiaomei paused for a while before she recollected herself .
That was true . She might not be able to draw as well as Gu Shishi could, but she could come close to the meaning of it .

Except that the painting would take even longer from the planning to the drawing . That would exceed the time of one class .
Gu Shishi handed her the paint brush . “Starting from when I was 13, my master would give me different topics every day and I had to paint over 100 paintings every year . All these plans were already burned into the brain . ”
Ling Xiaomei’s eyes widened . “Since you were 13?!”
Gu Shishi nodded . “Yup . So, you can do this too, if that’s what you just . Just need to put in the time . ”
Ling Xiaomei bit her lips .
And, the next moment, Gu Shishi turned to the bouffant dress girl who had a complicated look on her .
“I am done . Did that answer your question?”

She squinted .
“Except that this class did more harm and good to you . Water can take millions of different forms . You don’t even have the foundation . This is but a waste of time . ”
The bouffant dress girl gritted her teeth . “Well, I wanted to . I’ve paid . You have a problem with that?!”
“No problem . ” Gu Shishi put the painting away . “Thank you for your support . Meimei, we can get quite a cut for a $5,000 session, right?”
Ling Xiaomei nodded like a true fan immediately .
“Good, then let’s go for something good for lunch~” Gu Shishi expressed her contentment .
Bouffant girl: “……”
