Chapter 238: Both Teacher and Friend
Nora didn’t notice Anson’s brief daze, her energy was completely focused on the unfinished painting——
This was a watercolor painting .
Anson did not choose an outline pen, but a background pen.
Generally speaking, background pens are used to print and dye the background of paintings. The size is relatively large, and the lines drawn are naturally thicker, and large areas are painted. However, Anson cleverly used the background pen to draw the frame at this time. .
Light and elegant watercolor paints the architectural frame with thick lines one by one. The colors are superimposed layer by layer to form rich layers. The horizontal and vertical strokes are free and unrestrained. It seems chaotic and hazy, but in fact it is clearly layered. , the sense of three-dimensional space is vividly displayed on the paper.
Light green, light yellow, bright blue, water red.
A series of light colors create wonderful three-dimensional lines between different overlays, allowing light to fully fill the entire frame space.
Nora could see the golden sunlight on the paper.
This is the most interesting thing about painting. Obviously, Anson’s paintings are full of lines, but Nora can see the sun, the sea and the forest——
Everything is like a redwood forest in an early summer afternoon. The tall trees support the sky high, and the sunlight falls in the form of waterfall lines, creating a mysterious and quiet world. Stand quietly and feel the light, shadow, breeze, and... The water vapor sings loudly on the surface of the skin.
Norah was a little fascinated.
It’s not because of the mystery and freshness revealed in the painting, which is like the rabbit hole leading to Alice’s Wonderland - of course, this is also very important. Nola’s artistic radar was activated again, and her eyes couldn’t help but show a hint of appreciation. , but she quickly stopped working and returned to her role as a mother.
But because in this painting we can see sadness and loneliness, bitterness and scars, but they are slowly healing. Although it is only a small step, we finally open our hearts and accept the sunshine. The disturbing negative emotions calmed down, and I seemed to have found the long-lost peace.
This is a good thing.
This means that the time spent traveling to Los Angeles to challenge the actors had a positive effect, and perhaps they should encourage Anson to continue the challenge.
Nora looked at it very seriously, with a lot of thoughts in her mind, and she was almost losing her composure, but she couldn't let Anson see it, she lowered her eyelids to hide her emotions, and waited for her to stand up straight again. Having regained his composure, he picked up the red wine and took a sip.
"Summer at the seaside."
"Sunshine, beach, sea, slightly hot, but not boring, breeze blowing, bringing a little coolness, no need to do anything special , just lying on the beach chair, with a glass of lemonade and a watermelon, blocking the sun with a Tolstoy book, and falling asleep."
"The afternoon passed like this with nothing to do. ”
Anson was very surprised.
Nora didn’t notice that a different soul was in the same skin, but she could accurately see the subtle atmosphere in the painting.
The tense nerves relaxed a little, and the tone became more relaxed, "Lemonade?"
Are you sure it's not alcohol?
Nora picked up the red wine and took another sip, giving Anson a look, "How about we compromise with Long Island ice tea?"
"Haha." Anson couldn't hold it back, and the smile on his lips rose.
Nora looked at Anson and looked up and down carefully. She always felt that there were some changes in Anson, but the specific changes could not be accurately described in words.
However, this change should be a good thing——
After not seeing each other for a few months, Anson’s eyes became clearer, no longer chaotic, no longer confused, no longer collapsed, and his whole person His temperament also became clear and clear again.
Slightly curly golden brown hair is slightly messy and lazy. A large and casual dark blue shirt hangs loosely. The whole body exudes an unruly and casual nature, but it is not low and decadent, but natural. Dye with a shallow shimmer, like the blue moment before the sun rises in the morning.
Similar, but different.
Involuntarily, Nora thought of what Darren said. It seemed that Anson should like the work of an actor. Taking another sip of alcohol to hide her emotions, Nora changed the subject, "So, how long are you planning to stay when you come back this time?"
Anson shrugged, "Not sure. I I’m still waiting for news about the audition. If there is still no follow-up tomorrow, I may go back to Los Angeles and wait.”
Norah nodded slightly, “If I pass the audition, will the job be in New York?”
Anson spread his hands, "Not sure. You should know that those Hollywood movies are shot in studios with sets built. If they can't be built, they use computer special effects. There are several New Yorks in Burbank."
< br>Nola’s face was calm, “No, I don’t know.”
Looking at Nora’s confident expression, Anson choked and raised his hands to express surrender, “Sorry, I forgot about it. , I shouldn’t discuss low-brow art in front of high-brow art, wait, movies are considered art, right?”
Obviously, this is irony.
Norah pretended to raise her chin, held the wine glass and turned it gently, thinking seriously for a moment, "Well, barely."
A smile crept up the corner of Anson's mouth, "Thank you!"
Norah also smiled, her voice rolling in her throat, "I just want to say that if I come back to work in New York, the apartment in Bryant Park The decoration has been completed. Anyway, Lucas has been in San Francisco. You can live in it and it is convenient to go in and out for work in the morning and evening." Anson showed a surprised expression, "So, am I officially independent?"
Norah pretended to be serious and made a joke, "It will be two months until you officially turn eighteen. Your father and I have been waiting for this day, just waiting to kick you out. , then the two of us declare our liberation, and we can finally enjoy the world of two. God, please come soon.”
A joke, there is no doubt that this is a joke——
Anson was a little surprised.
Obviously, the relationship between him and his parents in his previous life was not like this; but from another perspective, maybe this kind of relationship between his parents as both teachers and friends is more suitable for Anson.
Not easy to show off.
Originally, he thought that as an outsider, he should naturally stay away from his family, as far away as possible; but now it seems that it would be good to change his mind.
Anson did not panic, but calmed down and said seriously, "But you know, I still have to cash the check for living expenses every month, right?"
Nora glanced at Anson pretending to be deep, "I will consider it."
However, the slightly raised corners of her mouth still revealed Nora's mood at the moment——
Anson Just as he was about to speak again, he noticed a faint burning smell in the air, "Wait, what is this smell? Are you cooking something?"
Nola's expression changed and she couldn't find it anymore. After calming down just now, "Oops, my chicken is stewed with mushrooms!"
Smoothly, Nora put the red wine glass into Anson's hand, turned around and rushed out.
But he stopped at the door, turned around, and said a sentence with sincerity on his face, "You really have a talent for painting. Occasionally, you should pick up a paintbrush. This suits you very well."
After that, Anson quickly rushed out without waiting for a response, leaving a patter of sprinting footsteps in the air.
Anson stood there, stunned for a moment, and then a smile crept up to the corner of his mouth.
Fourth update.
