Search for Treasure Worldwide Chapter 1398: A painter full of fighting spirit

www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapters of treasure hunting around the world!

The person who greeted Ye Tian was a Caucasian man in his twenties, with slightly curly chestnut hair, holding a paintbrush in his hand, and specks of oil paint could be seen everywhere on his clothes. He looked like an artist!

Obviously, this guy is a young painter who makes a living painting in the square.

His painting stall is three to four meters away on the right. In front of the stall is a wooden easel and folding chairs. On the easel is a half-finished painting, and next to it are seven or eight paintings for sale.

While greeting Ye Tian, ​​this guy's eyes were full of expectations.

This guy knows very well that Ye Tian is not only a professional treasure hunter, but also a top antique art appraisal expert with a notoriously sharp vision!

More importantly, he is also a super rich man, a super buyer and seller in the art market. He has countless works of art passing through his hands, and many of them are top-notch works of art that are worth a lot of money!

If Ye Tian takes a fancy to his paintings and buys a few of them, it will not only solve his current dilemma, but may even make him famous and famous!

Because of this, this guy took the initiative to greet Ye Tian, ​​trying to use this method to gain an opportunity.

Ye Tian turned to look at the young painter, nodded with a smile and said:

"Good morning, buddy, I'm Steven, nice to meet you"

"Hello, Steven, I am Baudouin. Nice to meet you too. I graduated from Paris Haute Couture and my current profession is a painter!"

The young painter introduced himself, took two steps forward, and shook hands with Ye Tian.

"Paris Haute Couture? It's a very good art school, known as the cradle of artists. I've heard of it for a long time. If I'm not mistaken, those oil paintings are all your works, right?"

Ye Tian complimented the other party and pointed to the oil paintings on the painting stall next to him.

"Yes, Steven, those are all my works. You are a famous antique art appraisal expert, and your appreciation skills go without saying. Please help me comment on my paintings!"

Baudouin nodded and said, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

However, as a self-proclaimed artist, he still maintains the unique aloofness and arrogance of an artist, and speaks in a calm tone, even though he really wants to be praised and affirmed, and wants to use this to change his destiny!

While Ye Tian and Baudouin were talking, the painter who was painting had put down his brush and turned to look at Ye Tian, ​​obviously also wanting to hear his comments on Baudouin's works.

Since the distance was not far, Ye Tian did not move over. He just stood there and turned around to admire Baudouin's works carefully.

Of course, this is just pretense, a show for others to see.

The first time he saw Baudoin's paintings, he judged the value of those paintings at a glance based on the number of halo layers on the paintings. It was extremely accurate!

I have to say that this guy Baudoin does have some talent, and he does not insult the title of artist!

In several of his paintings, you can see the charming halo, ranging from five to seven layers, which has a certain value, but that's all!

If it were a year ago, Ye Tian might have been attracted by these paintings, and would have bought them, and then hoarded them, waiting for the paintings to slowly increase in value, thus making a small fortune!

But at this time, Ye Tian's appetite has become extremely cunning. If it is not a top-grade antique artwork or an artwork with huge appreciation potential, other artworks will not be able to catch his eye!

Obviously, Baudouin's paintings are still far from top-notch works of art, and their appreciation potential is also visible to the naked eye, so he cannot be tempted by them!

Like most fields, the art field also has a pyramid structure. There are very few artists who can reach the top. The vast majority of artists are unknown and eventually disappear from everyone!

Even if you have outstanding talent and outstanding works, if you don't have the right time, place, people, and other conditions, it is very likely to be completely buried and no one will know about it!

A genius like Van Gogh, who was poor during his lifetime and became a top art master after his death, is already considered very lucky. How many people like that are there?

What's more, there are relatively average painters like Baudouin all over the world. How many of them can eventually become famous?

If they have not become famous, even if their paintings are quite good and have certain artistic value, the antique art market will not recognize them, and they will not be able to sell them at a high price, and they will probably lose them!

After pretending to appreciate it, Ye Tian smiled and said:

“I don’t take the comments seriously, Baudouin, just a few words of opinion. I like your realistic painting style. The layout and composition of the paintings are very reasonable, and the scenery you painted is also very beautiful!

But in my opinion, your lines are still a little stiff. It would be better if they could be softer. The use of colors is also somewhat lacking, and there is still room for improvement!

Of course, this is just my personal opinion and may not be correct. Just take it for granted. If you think what I said is wrong, don’t take it seriously. After all, creation is your own business! "

Hearing these words, Baudouin fell silent for a moment, then turned to look at his works, his face a little ugly!

The middle-aged painter next to him took a deep look at Ye Tian, ​​with some admiration in his eyes.

Obviously, this middle-aged painter is very aware of the shortcomings of Baudouin's paintings, but it is just inconvenient to say it for some reasons, so as not to be thankless!

After a moment, Baudouin withdrew his gaze and looked at Ye Tian again, and then said with a wry smile:

"You are right, Steven. There are still many flaws in my painting techniques, and there is a lot of room for improvement. I will definitely think about it carefully when I go back!

Can I take the liberty of asking a question here? If you were asked to price or appraise these paintings of mine, what price would you give? I'd love to hear it! "

"Well, Baudouin, with all due respect, if I were to estimate the value of these paintings, the maximum of these paintings of yours would be no more than five thousand euros, and the minimum would be about two thousand euros!

If you follow my advice, improve your lines and colors, and hone your drawing skills, I will add a zero to this estimate! "

Ye Tian said with a smile, giving his own valuation and suggestions.

"Ah! The maximum is only five thousand euros. It seems that I really think too highly of myself!"

Baudouin said with a wry smile, his expression a little embarrassed, and his eyes showing a bit of dissatisfaction.

Next, Ye Tian looked at a few oil paintings on the painting stall in front of him, then said goodbye and left, taking Betty to an antique stall not far away!

Looking at Ye Tian and the others leaving, Baudouin whispered angrily:

"Fortunately, I didn't sell my paintings to this guy Steven, otherwise it would have been a big shame. I actually want to make a lot of money from this guy. It's really weird!"

Hearing this, the middle-aged painter next to him immediately said:

"Man, you are overthinking it. There is no way that Steven will visit our art stall and buy our paintings. If it is not a top-notch antique, it will be difficult to impress this greedy guy.

If you look at what he did in Paris, you will know that how many of the works of art he took a fancy to were not of the highest quality? Corot, Picasso, Gauguin, etc., every name is like thunder! "

When he said this, the middle-aged painter's tone was quite lonely, a bit like a hero in his twilight years.

Baudouin next to him was different. After a brief depression, his eyes rekindled with blazing fire and full of fighting spirit. Perhaps this is the difference between young people and middle-aged and elderly men!

The middle-aged painter is right. If it were not for the top antique artwork, there would be no way to impress Ye Tian and let him take action for it!

Ye Tian, ​​who was standing in front of the antique stall, discovered such a top-notch antique work of art at this moment, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes!

However, what he pointed at was a painting of little value.

"Good morning, man, this Impressionist oil painting looks good. What's the price? If the price is right, I intend to buy it!"

Ye Tian pointed to an impressionist oil painting and said with a bright smile on his face.
