NovelEnglishChapter 164 Emerentius First, Emrys took the painting from Chandler, studied it for a moment, and then said, “The painting by Mr. York is heavily inked, with strokes that are vigorous and powerful, giving off an intense sense of strengin. The bird depicted in the painting is holding its head high, its beak long and sharp. Looking at the ring of feathers around its neck and the bird standing against the wind... Mr. York truly has great ambitions!” After Emrys finished his critique, both of them were taken aback.
However, before they could even speak, Emrys immediately picked up Roger's painting and continued, saying, “As for Mr. Balford’s painting, although the craftsmanship is not bad, the brushwork is rather peculiar. It's thick at first but becomes light toward the end. Moreover, the style in the beginning and the end is incredibly mismatched, even giving off an increasingly chaotic sense... Mr. Balford, you must have been distracted while painting, weren't you?” “Dr. Lund, you...” Roger looked at Emrys in disbelief, his face full of astonishment.
When he began painting, he actually wanted to emulate Chandler to create an uplifting and inspiring style.
However, as he painted, he suddenly thought of his late wife.
Back when Roger's wife was still alive, she would often accompany him, silently watching him paint.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtUnder the sway of those emotions, his style of painting was naturally influenced.
The increasing chaos that ensued was due to Roger thinking about his second wife, Hannah. The thought of her using a demonic item to harm him caused his emotions to fluctuate even more intensely.
In reality, such emotional shifts, reflected in the feelings on the canvas, were difficult for laymen to perceive.
Only those truly knowledgeable in the field and who had reached the realm of discerning the painter's emotions through the painting could genuinely detect the subtle signs within.
Surprisingly, Emrys was able to discern Roger's emotional changes through that painting, not to mention with such remarkable accuracy.
That indicated that Emrys was indeed a master of calligraphy and painting appraisal.
The two were utterly astonished.
“Who would have thought that you would have such a high level of appreciation for literature and art at such a young age, Dr. Lund? This leaves us quite overwhelmed!” Chandler was filled with shame, but quickly, his eyes lit up. He said, “Dr. Lund, since you are also an expert in this field, why not create a painting for us to admire?” Upon hearing those words, Roger also revealed a look of anticipation.
Emrys looked at them oddly and asked, “Are you sure you want to watchpaint?” Both of them nodded simultaneously.
Chapter 164 Emerentius “All right. If that’s the case. I'll give it a shot. However, | won't draw a bird. I'll draw something else instead!” Emrys’ eyes swiveled, a sudden playful glint appearing within them.
He moved his calligraphy set to one side, saying, “I'm a rather shy person, so I'll show you all once I've finished drawing!” “It’s all right. We understand.” Chandler nodded in understanding.
He knew that speople preferred solitude while painting, so he and Roger quietly settled themselves on the living room couch, patiently waiting.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmApproximately ten minutes had passed when Emrys arrived in the living room with his sketchpad, announcing, “I've finished the drawing.” He finished painting so quickly? The two exchanged a glance, each finding confusion in the other's eyes.
However, upon further thought, perhaps Emrys was simply a connoisseur with high appreciation standards, and his actual painting skills were just average. That was an understandable explanation.
After all, Emrys was still so young.
“Since Dr. Lund has such a strong understanding of calligraphy and painting, | believe that with the passage of time, you will certainly achieve great accomplishments,” Chandler had even begun to comfort Emrys so the latter wouldn't be discouraged.” However, when he unfolded the painting handed over by Emrys, he leaped up from the couch in surprise. “D-Dr.
Lund, did you really paint this?” Chandler's speech was all jumbled up. At first, Roger, who was standing by his side, showed a puzzled expression. However, as he leaned over to take a look, he too was taken aback and exclaimed, “M-Mr.
Emerentius?” The artwork of Emerentius was truly distinctive. With just a few strokes, he could depict a mood that most people couldn't express.
Although they had never seen that painting before, the duo was absolutely certain that it was an authentic masterpiece by Emerentius.
