In Tokyo, I just want salted fish

Chapter 20 "Scenery of Cherry Blossoms"

Stepping onto the corner of the second floor of the club building, Kai Uesugi took out his mobile phone and sent a line to Hanamaru Hanabi.

"Your briefing session is over today? 』

Turn left and pass the "Shogi Department", "Propaganda Department" and "Historical Research Department" all the way.

Kaoru Uesugi didn't even find the sign of the painting department, so he had to go back the same way and turn right.

The message will soon appear as read.

"It's over, but today's painting is not finished yet, has Uesugi-kun arrived at the door yet?" 』

Walking past the stairs just now, Kai Uesugi looked up and saw the sign of the painting department not far ahead.

"Um"

"Uesugi-kun, please wait a moment, I will open the door right away"

Kai Uesugi continued to walk forward, looking into the club through the window from time to time, and the active students inside were full of youthfulness, trying to enrich their hobbies.

He has been studying for a year, and this is his first visit to the school's club building, so he doesn't even know where Huahuo and the others' drawing room is.

Under the white sign that says the painting room, Hanamaru Hanabi opened the door and poked his head out, like a little rabbit looking around, and soon found Uesugi Kai who was walking slowly, and shouted to him with a smile:

"Uesugi-kun."

The sweet smile is very clear on her lovely face, giving people a warm feeling.

"I won't disturb you, I can just stand at the door and wait."

Kaoru Uesugi, who walked up to her, took a look inside the drawing room and found that someone was also looking at him.

"Won't,"

Hanamaru Hanabi looked up at Uesugi Kai's face, he was taller than her,
"Uesugi-kun, please come in, today's task is almost finished, you can sit next to me and wait for a while."

Entering the studio, Kai Uesugi, who followed Hanabi, found that many students were looking at him, both male and female, some were curious, some were surprised.

Ignoring their gazes, Kai Uesugi followed Hanabi to a place near the window, from which he could see the trees below and the rows of cherry blossoms beside the stadium in the distance.

The studio as a whole looks a bit messy, except for the many drawing board supports, you can also see a little paint falling on the ground, but it doesn't look very old, it should have just fallen not long ago.

There are paintings and landscape paintings on the wall.

However, Shang Shanhao couldn't even sketch a square to meet the painting grades, so he couldn't tell what kind of paintings these belonged to, only felt a kind of transparent feeling.

There is a row of wooden shelves in the corner of the studio, and a lot of white papers of different sizes are piled up on it, and a few pots of succulents are placed on the top for decoration.

"Uesugi-kun, this is a stool."

"Ah."

Kai Uesugi took the stool handed by Hanabi and sat behind her, while Riei Ayaka leaned over and asked:
"Hey, Uesugi, your archery club ended so early?"

"The Archery Department only has one briefing session today."

Kai Uesugi took a look at Hanamaru Hanabi's painting in front of him, and found that there were many water stains on the painting, and there was a translucent tape around the white paper.

"I heard that there are many rules there, what do you think?" Ayaka Liying continued to ask.

"It's quite a lot."

Kaoru Uesugi casually replied that he was observing the way Hanabi painted, and found that she was using a large brush to lightly splash on the wet painting, leaving many drops of ocher color.

These color drops quickly soaked into the inside of the painting, and as the water stains spread slightly around, there was an unreal sense of transparency.

"Hey! Are you listening to me seriously!" Seeing Uesugi Kai's perfunctory attitude, Ayaka Riei became a little angry again.

"Of course I have, but I'm observing the way Hanabi paints. It's the first time I see it, and I'm a little curious."

"Eh,"

Hanamaru Hanabi also heard the voice behind her, turned her head to look at him,
"Uesugi-kun, do you want to learn watercolor painting?"

"No, it's not, pure observation."

Huahuo quickly turned around, holding a paintbrush in his hand and dipping some fresh water on the side.

In the middle of the painting, there are a few strokes of cobalt blue, a few strokes of rose red, and the grass green below, and the appearance of the sky can be vaguely seen in the messy colors.

Ayaka Riei: "Hmph, it's not easy for others to teach Hanabi."

After finishing speaking, she turned around and went to work on her work.

As the fireworks deepened the color of the painting, Uesugi found that the lump in the middle was not the sky.

The blue, purple and light red are superimposed together to look a little messy, but it is very regular, because there is still some blank space in the middle.

Weird feeling.

Uesugi Kai could only comment like this, he looked at it for a long time but didn't see what it was.

"Huahuo, what are you drawing?"

"Cherry tree."

Hanamaru Hanabi responded with a soft voice, and the paintbrush in her hand added a piece of cobalt blue to the upper right corner of the painting,

"This is the sky. The sky is painted now because the color in the middle has already dried. If you paint it now, it is called 'joining color'. There is no bleeding between the color blocks, and the outline looks clearer."

After listening to Hanabi's explanation, Uesugi Kai examined it again, and found that the piece of blue overlapped with the surrounding rose red, but they did not interfere with each other. It was clear which side each color block belonged to.

The details are constantly refined by fireworks, the blue of the sky, the white of the sky, the red wooden houses on the green field below, and the faint hills in the distance are all reflected one by one.

"Whoo~"

Hanamaru Hanako put down the paintbrush in his hand, and picked a smaller paintbrush in the bucket, dipped it in water to mix the black and ocher in the drawing board.

"The next step is to draw the trunk of the cherry blossom tree."

This sentence seemed to be said to Uesugi Kai, and it seemed to be cheering herself up, but no matter what, she picked up the brush and quickly painted a thick brown under the messy colors.

The domineering brown directly conceals all the previous colors, and constantly shows the characteristics of thick trunks.

"Next, the branches."

Hanamaru Hanabi did not directly drag the color of the tree trunk, but interspersed brown intermittently between the messy colors after being stained with paint.

And these few strokes, big and small, are like the soul of this painting, perfectly splicing the original messy colors together.

Thick and curved tree trunks, pink swaying cherry blossoms, and blue sky through the gaps, and finally, some harmonious white space is added.

At this moment, the three-dimensional sense of space emerges from the picture.

Under the blue sky, the appearance of cherry blossom trees swaying with the wind on the green field path instantly penetrated my heart, like a flying bird riding the wind.

People have to sigh the existence of "beauty".

"Very powerful." Kaoru Uesugi praised.

"No." Hanamaru Hanabi paused, "I still have a lot to learn. This "Scenery of Cherry Blossoms" was copied by my grandpa Shibasaki. It's not very good."

"Hum,"

Ayaka Riei, who was drawing next to her, poked her head out when she heard the voice, and looked at Uesugi Kai with a strange smile,

"How about it, Uesugi, do you want to learn? And Hanabi is only halfway drawn, and it's not finished yet. If you beg me, I can consider letting Hanabi teach you."

After finishing speaking, Ayaka Riei raised her head quite confidently.

　Thank you [Five Elements Iron Deficiency] for your reward.
