Chapter 284: 283. Saying she’s sleazy, and also calling her an old man?

As the person involved, she was keenly aware of where her shortcomings lay.

However, since this was a live stream, she needed to keep the situation stable in order to gain more approval from netizens.

"Wow~~~ Teacher She’s critique is really sharp, in this I indeed incorporated some features of contemporary oil painting. Traditional Chinese painting has its merit, but I think oil painting has its advantages too!"

Most of Kitty’s live streaming fans were young, and an even smaller percentage studied traditional Chinese painting. Originally not very stable in temperament, they were led by the current rhythm and their thoughts entered another strange loop.

[Integration of Eastern and Western cultures, isn’t that what is being advocated right now? Kitty’s painting is totally fine!]

[Exactly, what’s the point of always being conservative? Our ancestors’ stuff is indeed great, but without innovation, it all amounts to nothing.]

[As long as it looks good, that’s enough for me. I think Kitty’s painting is good, so let’s start with a round of tips!]

[The clash of ancient and modern, this is completely a high-standard work of art, okay? That Uncle She dude admitted it himself, but what does he mean by adding that previous sentence?]

[Just showing off his uniqueness, is this the magnanimity of a master?]

[So nauseating. The older they get, the more they care about face, all being overtaken by the younger generation on the beach.]

[I heard he never shows his face in the live stream, just these kind of critiques that elevate himself and belittle others, definitely a creepy guy, no doubt.]

[Move it, move it, let’s go to his stream and clear Kitty’s name. What kind of person is this!]

[Let’s go teach him how to be a decent human being, let’s go!]

[Off we go——]

In the comment section here, the messages were very consistent; occasionally a few fans of Uncle She would come in, become extremely angry after seeing what was posted, and curse their way out again.

Quite a few people flooded into Uncle She’s live stream, starting another round of posting comments.

And Tang Shu, of course, also picked up on the distortion of her words by the other party.

Originally, she intended to give the other party a way out, as live streaming isn’t easy, and she had already decided not to speak, but when she saw the condemnatory comments in the message area...

Sorry, she had never been one to have a good temper.

Call her creepy? An old man?

Simply unbearable.

"The combination of Eastern and Western cultures is certainly good, and I also highly regard the innovation you applied in this painting, which is very personal in style. However, what you have discarded is the Artistic Conception, which is most important in traditional Chinese painting, and yet you did not maximize the advantages of oil painting. The result is that your landscape painting has become a ’neither here nor there’ piece."

Afterwards, Tang Shu did not waste any more words. She put down the small porcelain bottle she had completed, picked up a sheet of blank paper from the desk haphazardly, and spread it out under the camera.

Next, she took up a brush that was on one side and started to draw very quickly.

Traditional Chinese painting emphasizes the pairing of black and white and the technique of shading, without the need for other colors. Merely different shades of ink can create various levels of depth.

Soon, a landscape painting vividly appeared on the paper.

And the netizens who had been actively cursing in the comment section found that their voices had diminished quite a bit.

Only when the brush in the camera, which outlined the mountains and rivers, paused did everyone find their voices again.

The first to speak up were the regular fans who often visited Uncle She’s live stream.

[...]

[Holy shit, this painting has so much Artistic Conception!]

[Uncle She is mighty, completing a high-standard traditional Chinese landscape painting in less than five minutes, what kind of divine speed is this?]

[I swear on my art student’s name, without at least a decade or more of skill, one couldn’t achieve this level of quality!]
