Chapter 146 – Dragonfly Dancing around the Lotuses (1)

She turned on to stream when it was time.

She positioned her phone strategically and saw that the number of audiences quickly went up to 23.

[Channel Master. I have waited like forever for you. You never stream at a set time?]

[Channel Master, what good stuff are you going to make today?]

[What I am more concerned about was, are you going to show off your wealth today?]

All sorts of things were said over the screen.

And, quickly, the subject was deviated.

[Hey, wait there. Did you see the glass mug on her desk? Yeah, the one that our Channel Master is using to wash out her pen, that one!]

[OMG! Is that the cat claw one from Starbucks?!]

[Channel Master, is that a real one? I saw on the news yesterday that it is worth $1,800 right now!]

[Oh darn! Channel Master is using the cat claw mug to wash her pens in? That’s too much!]

[Couldn’t rival her wealth... but the cat claw is so cute. I want to have one too!]

Gu Shishi never looked at her cellphone against after she finished adjusting her camera angle.

Truth be told, she merely felt that the cat claw mug was the perfect size for pens.

Plus, it was cute and it made her happy looking at it.

Two birds with one stone.

She didn’t expect the viewers in her channel to be drooling over her mug.

And they paid particular attention toward the mug when she dipped her pen in it.

While they were all staring when she dipped her pen into the cup of water, the crowd noticed something else.

[I never even noticed it before, but now that I am looking at it closely, I noticed that the channel master has very pretty hands.]

[The channel master has some sort of filter on, right? Her skin quality is so good and white like milk!]

[Her fingers are so slender and long. I am so envious!!]

Gu Shishi glanced over at the comments but just smiled at them.

She put the fan mount that she was going to paint on in the middle of the table and greeted everyone.

“Everybody seemed to like the folding fan that I made last time so I planned to paint a silk fan mount today.

“I am starting now~~”

Having said that, she activated the skill that she had purchased earlier.

A moment later, she closed her eyes and entered into a dimension.

A round hand fan, very similar to a beautiful woman covering up half of her face with a lute.

There was an obscure kind of beauty, like the person had something that they wanted to say, but didn’t quite say it out loud.

As the saying goes, a white round hand fan is much like a full moon. Hand fans traditionally represented a pure and clean kind of beauty.

Gu Shishi stroked the ribs of the fan. In front of her eyes, she could see a serene scenery of lotuses in the summer.

Time seemed to have stopped except for a dragonfly tapping on the water and the ripples that it caused.

There was a light breeze and she could also smell the scent of the flowers...

She just stood there quietly.

Only after a long while did she open up her eyes and return to reality.

She lifted up her hand and her paintbrush made from weasel hair started tracing the outline. Before long, the lotus leaves, standing silently and tilting like an umbrella with their states well conveyed, appeared in front of everybody’s eyes.

“Ah, I forgot to mention. I am also using gongbi style today.

“As round hand fans are small and delicate and best for petite girls, the details created by gongbi will give the best results.”

After Gu Shishi added the last part, she dipped her pen for more ink and started on the lotus flowers and the bundles of lotuses in the background.

It was very different from the conceptual lotuses that she had drawn at the studio previously.

The previous time, she drew the flower with one single stroke and the leaves with the second one.

Gongbi, on the other hand, was about the details and adding the colors one layer at a time.

“Pay attention to the lightness and darkness of the lines and the changes in the thickness of the lines. These are all very important details. From small to large. Also pay attention to the what’s primary and secondary objects in your painting as well as the white spaces in your painting.”

Gu Shishi explained when she paused.

If Chen Kexin was online, this could be considered as an extracurricular lesson for her.
