In 1874, a major event happened in the art world. A new school of painting held a collective exhibition for the first time. The "Impression? Sunrise" created by its representative figure Claude Monet became a typical representative of the exhibition. Since then, this school of painting has been called Impressionism.

The characteristic of this school of painting is to completely abandon the shadows, so that all the energy and energy are concentrated on appreciating the changes in light and color, so most of the outlines are abandoned, and there is almost no clear outline. This creative technique of heavy ink and heavy colors looks very willful, somewhat similar to the nature of children's graffiti. It is ridiculed by art critics. "Impressionism" is a derogatory term at this time, meaning "a garbage work like "Impression? Sunrise".

Tangning understood the potential of Impressionism very well. Of course, he himself did not understand why this graffiti-like thing was so charming. In short, he had decided to mix it up when Impressionism was not widely accepted and invite Impressionist painters to Beijing to conduct art exhibitions.

Because France has a population of 10 million more than the UK (a total of 37 million), after the UK's capital retreat, France's GDP problem is actually above the UK. As the leader of the Allies, it is still relatively less wealthy because it will cost a lot of finances to be used for military purposes.

The painters wanted to get the rich United Nations to spend time, so they naturally happily went to the French New Town in Beijing. Before they arrived at the French New Town, you don’t know how many French people Windsor brought to Beijing. Even the old man who swept the streets here was French, of course, he was a driver who drove an automatic sweeper.

In just over a year, the Windsor Empire brought 300,000 French elites to Beijing, and they were all rich people. Monet and others felt that the consumption capacity of the French-speaking area alone might be even better than that of Paris, which can be seen from the quality of the people visiting the exhibition.

Interestingly, I don’t know if it’s because of the welcome to come from afar or why, the French media in Beijing are particularly friendly to Impressionism, and even highly appreciate it, believing that this is creating a vast world of art. Monet feels puzzled, are the French who traveled across the ocean to Beijing to spend their days enjoying art appreciation ability than the Parisians?

Tang Ning invited an impressionist painter to Beijing to exhibit it as a test, but he didn't expect that the international citizens in Beijing would really appreciate it. He was very surprised. It was really hard to describe how popular citizens spent money to buy tickets to see the exhibition every day, because he himself was not very appreciative.

Alas, he could only do something that the technical school could do, and decided to improve the painting tools. The biggest problem with traditional painting methods is that they cannot be cancelled if they make mistakes. Rich scientists believe that using electronic brushes can change all this.

In order to maximize the subtle connection with the brush established by the painter for a long time, the electronic brush invented by Tangning completely takes the physical properties of traditional brushes as the starting point, only adding a thin permanent magnet film to the almost consistent touch, and a tiny sensor is densely spread on the electronic canvas, which can receive the magnetic signal of every hair on the brush.

Finally, the magnetic signal is converted into color information and displayed on the canvas through a projector on the canvas. Because it is a projection, the size of the electronic canvas is no longer a bottleneck, and it can create a huge electronic canvas of a0 size (one square meter) without any pressure.

The electronic color palette is a completely simulated that French painters are most commonly used, allowing artists to switch to electronic canvas at no cost. Electronic brushes are available in twelve sizes, each with two ends available, one end is a normal brush, and there is a ring-shaped lamp at the root of the hair, trying to simulate the colors modulated by the painter.

At the end is a stylus, which allows the painter to perform the unique operation of electronic pens at any time and unblock. Each stroke and each painting creates a unique layer, which not only can undo the stroke that was just unsatisfactory, but also can choose a single stroke to undo it.

The painter can not only cancel a certain stroke when painting, but also make drastic modifications to the dissatisfaction after the painting is completed. Tang Ning himself is not a painter, but he is an expert in engineering drawing and has experience in using the brush.

In the past, he had already invented a handwritten board for the production of cartoons. Now he has only turned the pursuit of delicate animation into a extensive oil painting suitable for expressing epic masterpieces. There is no technical difficulty. From a certain perspective, the electronic handwritten board is still simplified.

The biggest improvement this time may be the change in size, from a limited display to a projector that can be enlarged to n times. Tang Ning himself was full of pride in this electronic oil painting revolution, but it has to be seen what the real painters said.

Monet finally came to the big boss and looked at Boss Tang’s new products curiously. As a traditionally educated painter, using electronic brushes always feels weird. You can’t adjust the colors with your hands dirty, as if something is missing.

The projector display does not seem to be in line with the great painter's wishes, but... the electronic canvas finally has a huge killer weapon, which may be more attractive to Impressionist painters. The electronic canvas can quickly display several scenes with only light and color changes in an animation way.

Under the guidance of Tangning, Monet learned this animation display method. He could draw the "original painting" with just a few strokes. Under the rendering of the animation effect, the original static impression painting became lively. When the light waves were drawn, the waves would appear. This genius painter was moved by the waves he drew for the first time.

It is hard to say whether electronic canvas can officially enter the art world, but Monet has already confirmed that it is very suitable for Impressionism.

Tang Ning was very glad that he made the electronic brush simulate traditional brushes so similar. Look, Monet used electronic brushes to find colors for the first time, so accurate and natural. Boss Tang made such a great contribution to the painting world.

Tangning: "How is it?"

Monet: "It's not bad, it's just... this light that represents color seems a bit weird. Can you directly display the color on the brush?"

Tang Ning: "That's not easy... Oh, there's a way to make the brush bristles transparent and place the color lamp in the center of the transparent bristles, so that's about it. Well, this method is good. Thank you for your advice, it's great."

Monet nodded and tried the "unstop" and "not undo" functions. In fact, this was what Tangning invented for each stroke to be placed on two columns. The right column is the layer that is displayed normally and the left column is the layer that is undoped. No matter which column it is, it can easily switch between display and not display without restrictions. Just use the touch terminal to scan between the two columns.

This function can be used to make the painter infinitely confused whether he should ask for a certain stroke. Monet obviously likes this setting and happily switches to a certain stroke, imagining in his mind how wide a scene this magical operation can be used.

Monet has a question: "How much does this kind of equipment cost?"

Tang Ning smiled and said, "One euro per year."

Isn't that the same as the annual rental of a bicycle? Monet said it was very shocked. He thought this new device would be a luxury product, at least as expensive as an entry-level car.

Tangning: "Well, in order to reduce costs, it is necessary to produce on a large scale. I have already thought of a promotion method. All the schools I sponsored use similar technologies to replace blackboards. There are more than 100 million children who are educated in the United Nations. If every 50 children have a blackboard, there will be about 2 million blackboards to be replaced. Hehe, this number can be considered large-scale."

2 million euros are indeed just a drop in the bucket for the Windsor Consortium. What Monet wonders is why Boss Tang admires this electronic canvas so much.

Tang Ning smiled and explained: "Of course, we need to cultivate the whole nation to become artists. At the beginning, it is a teacher, and then the students will be influenced by the teacher, because they can also buy a 'blackboard' and go home. The advantage is that the homework assigned by the teacher on the 'blackboard' children no longer need to copy it, and do the questions directly on their own canvas. After finishing it, they can be directly transferred to the teacher for correction!

I have discovered that electronic canvas is a central medium located between computers and paper. It has the advantages of electronic formats and the zero-learning cost advantage of traditional paper media. Whether it is a three-year-old or an eighty-year-old, it can easily master it.

From a business perspective, I donated 2 million yuan and earned 100 million yuan, which is so cost-effective. Alas, many people nowadays throw away their homework books from childhood when they grow up, and they don’t remember their childhood at all. This kind of electronic homework books can preserve all their childhood. When the children grow up, they will thank me because I have kept their childhood forever.

Maybe when they were seven or eight years old, they still kept their homework and compositions from elementary school intact, whisper, aren’t they very loving?”

A true master and genius are good at creating an industry. After Tang Ning's reminder, Monet truly felt that the unreliable attribute of electronic canvases seems to be able to build a bridge between tradition and the future. It can also build a bridge between the PC generation and the older generation to bridge the generation gap.

The teacher will definitely encourage children to buy electronic canvas, because if the homework in electronic format is a multiple-choice question, you can use programs to correct the homework. Which teacher doesn’t like? In the future, electronic recognition technology will be improved, and fill-in-the-blank questions and other questions can also be used to correct the homework. The teacher will be OK after checking it.

All this is possible because the price of electronic canvas: the same as bicycle rental. In the future, every family and even every individual should have their own electronic canvas, just like having a bicycle.

Tangning made the electronic canvas like a scroll. When the painter went out to sketch, he looked like he was carrying an 841mm stick from the outside. As for elementary school students, just put the 297mm scroll in their schoolbags, they could go to class to unfold the large A3-sized whiteboard.
