The meal cost 300 euros, and Xia Wanyuan and An Rao still had 1200 euros left.
“Go and buy some paint and drawing board.” After accompanying An Rao to buy the small cake, Xia Wanyuan proposed her idea.
“Okay, sister. Are we still painting later?”
“Mm, go and ask which scenic area has more people?”
‘An Rao went to collect information, while Xia Wanyuan went to the shop to buy paint and painting tools.
Soon, Xia Wanyuan had bought her things, and An Rao had returned.
Just now, Xia Wanyuan had chosen to draw plain portraits because she did not have enough money to buy a brush and paint. Now that she had money, naturally, colorful paintings were closer to the aesthetic standards of Westerners.
There was a famous ancient bridge in this city, a world-famous tourist attraction.
‘The weather in Europe was suitable. Although it was summer afternoon, it was very cool.
The golden willow by the river swayed in the wind, and the green mud by the bridge floated in the air. From time to time, a small boat would pass by, and there was a singing voice.
The tourists sat on the lawn in groups of two or three.
Xia Wanyuan spread the silk scarf she had brought with her on the grass, then set down the drawing board, faced the ancient bridge, and began to draw.
Their appearances were too eye-catching.
Xia Wanyuan was wearing a simple T-shirt and jeans. Her long hair hung loosely on her shoulders, and she did not put on any makeup. As the wind blew, it lifted a few strands of hair, causing the surrounding gazes to involuntarily glance over.
Seeing that she was painting, some students who had finished writing surrounded her and watched her draw.
Originally, when they saw that Xia Wanyuan did not even need to use a script to draw, everyone felt that she should be a newbie.
Xia Wanyuan drew very quickly. Not long after, half of the ancient bridge painting appeared on the paper.
Painting not only emphasized the shape but also the spirit.
‘The ancient bridge that Xia Wanyuan had drawn, under her extreme use of light, had the warm yellow setting sun shone on the bridge with a historical feeling.
‘That solemn and thick ancient aura seemed to have leaped out of the paper and talked to modern people across a thousand years.
The students behind her were extremely excited. Afraid of disturbing Xia Wanyuan’s painting, they could only clench their fists and express their excitement with their eyes.
Xia Wanyuan occasionally looked up at the bridge in front of her, then buried her head and changed it.
Not long after, a complete painting was born in her hand.
“Oh my god!!! You drew too well!!” The students who could finally speak could not suppress the excitement in their hearts and praised Xia Wanyuan crazily.
“Do you like it?” Xia Wanyuan smiled, and the male students in front of her blushed instantly.
“Lespecially like it!!”
“T’ll give it to you.” Xia Wanyuan took the paper and handed it to the students.
“Really?! Oh my god!”
At the side, An Rao gently pulled Xia Wanyuan’s arm. “Sister, didn’t you draw this to sell for money? Why did you give it to them?”
Xia Wanyuan smiled. “It’s nothing.”
The group of young people surrounded a painting and screamed. Soon, it attracted the attention of the others.
Since they did not pay for it themselves, they could not hide it and let the people around look at it.
Although the tourists did not know much about paintings, the beauty of the painting still shocked them.
“Everyone, don’t you think that this ancient bridge is especially beautiful? The tourists from outside won’t be able to stay here for long. Do you want to bring the beautiful scenery here with you forever?” An Rao began her marketing again.
“How do we take them away forever?”
“Everyone, you saw this painter’s painting just now. You can let her draw you in. Isn’t this very memorable?”
An Rao’s words tempted everyone. Just as everyone was hesitating, a tall blonde woman walked to Xia Wanyuan’s side.
“Are you Yuan Wanxia??”
Xia Wanyuan was a little surprised that someone in this foreign country actually knew her, so she nodded.
“Oh my god! I really like you so much! I’ll pay for it. Can you draw one for me? Can ten thousand euros do? I know this price is very low, but I’m from abroad. I don’t have so many euros for the time being. If not, I’ll send it to you when I get home.” The woman was extremely eager, afraid that Xia Wanyuan
would not agree.
The crowd heard the woman’s words and looked at Xia Wanyuan in confusion.
Ten thousand euros was a high price. With this, the person who bid actually felt that Xia Wanyuan was suffering a loss? This beautiful Oriental woman looked young. How could she be worth such a high price?
Is this a support??
“Help me draw one. My best friend and I especially like your style. It’s really too beautiful!!” Seeing that Xia Wanyuan did not speak, the tall woman was afraid that she would not agree.
“Okay.” Xia Wanyuan nodded. “Do you have any requests? For the style and content.”
“Just draw the style you posted on the Fins. The clothes I’m wearing today are a little too casual. Can you help me change it?”
“No problem,” Xia Wanyuan agreed readily. “Just sit in front for a while.”
Although the tall woman was curious that Xia Wanyuan didn’t even need her to be a model to start painting, out of trust for Xia Wanyuan, the woman still sat quietly at the side.
This time, it took a longer time than the previous one.
This time, someone had paid for Xia Wanyuan to draw. Everyone was too embarrassed to surround her and disturb her, so they looked from afar.
After some time, the sun slowly slid to the horizon.
“Alright.” Xia Wanyuan finally stopped writing.
“Oh my god!” The moment the tall woman received the painting, her eyes lit up. “It’s too worth it. I’ll give you a check immediately!”
The person beside her leaned over and took a look.
“L want one too.. Can you draw one for me?”
