Two days went by.
On this particular day, Sylvia arrived at the art academy early in the morning.
She went because Christopher invited her over for a demo for the students. Other than being the
president of the Westchester Art Association, Christopher was also the deputy dean of the art
academy.
The new semester started just yesterday, and the academy was hosting this welcome event, especially
for the upcoming graduates.
They invited several well-known artists over for a live demonstration. Other than Sylvia, two other
veteran artists were also present.
Sylvia was honored by the invitation, so there was no reason for her to reject it. She drove to the art
academy and parked her car in the parking lot.
Right after she got out of her car, an event coordinator came over and guided her to the venue.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe live demonstration was held in a spacious lecture studio which was already crowded with students
and artists alike.
When Sylvia arrived, she saw Christopher and the other two veteran artists surrounded by the students
who were asking them for advice and tips. Christopher excused himself from the student right after he
noticed Sylvia’s arrival.
“I’m sorry I’m late, President Dendro,” Sylvia said. The traffic had been terrible.
Christopher said with a smile, “It’s okay. The demo starts at 9 a.m., so you’re not late.”
Then, he brought Sylvia to the group and introduced her to the veteran artists.
One of them was the senior professor of the art academy, Salvadore Horns while the other was a well-
known artist from Glanchester, Pablo Domino. Both of them were friendly and easy going
After a brief introduction, Christopher introduced Sylvia to the students before they started the live
demonstration session.
The paintbrushes, paints, artboard, and easels were all prepared at their respective seats. The three
artists then went to their seats, and after a brief speech from Christopher, they started painting.
The purpose of this demonstration was to show the students how professional artists created their
work. The students would be able to watch the process and pick up tips and details from here and
there, henceforth strengthening their own knowledge.
Sylvia thought of painting a sunflower since last night.
Unlike the sunflower that launched her into stardom, this sunflower that she wanted to paint was one
that grew under the bright sun, symbolizing a bright and hopeful future.
She got into her little trance as soon as she picked up the brush. She concentrated on laying the
strokes on the artboard, mixing the proper colors, and making sure her thoughts were conveyed
properly. She was so focused that she did not realize the growing crowd behind her.
Sunflower Bloom was the loudest name in the art world at the moment, and as the students of the art
academy, they had heard of her and seen her word through various platforms.
However, watching Sunflower Bloom paint live was a first, let alone watching her create a masterpiece.
On top of all that, she chose to paint a sunflower, the subject that made her famous. A lot of students
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmstarted to record the process with their smartphones. The way she laid her strokes on the artboard was
beautiful and skilled. Every stroke was precise and impactful, and no paint was wasted in the process.
The students behind her were awestruck. It even started to attract the other students who were
watching the other two artists paint. Other than the students, a number of teachers also freed up their
timetable to witness the incredible painting session. Even Tara was dragged over to the lecture studio
by two of the teachers. They stood outside the window and peeked inside. One of the teachers was
awestruck when she saw Sylvia. “Sunflower Bloom is a young woman?”
The other teacher exclaimed, “Don’t you know? I heard she was a woman, but I just didn’t expect her to
be this beautiful and young.” “She looks very elegant as well.” “Sigh. We are all around the same age,
but she’s a lot better than us.”
“That’s what happens when heaven favors you. You just can’t ignore your talent.”
The two teachers were unable to control their mouths and were so carried away by their jealousy of
Sylvia to the point that they forgot about Tara. Tara reacted sourly. She heard that there would be some
famous artists coming to the academy a few days ago, so she wanted to have a look as well.
She simply did not expect Sylvia to be regarded as one of the famous artists. On top of all that, Sylvia
was treated as equal to the other veteran artists, Salvadore and Pablo.
