Rebirth of the Deadly Beauty novel Chapter 10

Yvonne paused for a while.

Then, she exclaimed in surprise, "I've always wanted to be in the Traditional Painting major at Creydia University!

"But, I haven't met a good teacher to guide me along my journey. I think my painting skills can be improved."

She knew that the more humble she seemed in front of Charlie, the more he would develop a better impression of her during the art discussion later on.

"It's fine. If you want to attend the art exam, you can call me anytime." Charlie seemed to like Yvonne a lot and gave her his name card.

"Thank you, Mr. Sullivan!" Yvonne smiled sweetly and took the name card with both hands.

After that, they arrived at the last painting in the art exhibition.

This was the most expensive painting in the gallery.

Since Yvonne did her research in advance, she knew where this painting came from.

Thus, she immediately told Charlie whatever she'd memorized earlier on.

"This painting was done by Havaria's best traditional painter, Jess Harrington.

"Ms. Harrington kept a low profile and only had three public paintings in her collection. Those paintings are kept by a private collector now.

"This is one of her paintings! The Great Country is 120 inches long. Previously, many artists tried to replicate this. The famous traditional painter, Mr. Carter, tried to replicate it last year.

"Not only is this painting magnificent, but it is also novel and broke a few rules in the traditional painting world back then.

"When this painting was published back then, a few critics said that this painting lacked elements from traditional painting.

"However, a perfect art piece can withstand the test of time. Two years later, those who critiqued her painting relentlessly changed their minds about it.

"Ms. Harrington became a legend in the traditional painting world later on," Yolanda said.

Many guests were attracted to Yvonne's speech immediately.

"Though she's very young, this girl is so knowledgeable about traditional painting. She's so talented!"

"Yes. She's different from my child. He gave me the silent treatment after I signed him up for a traditional painting class."

"She's talented and hardworking. This girl will be successful in the future!"

When Diana heard those praises, she straightened up proudly.

No matter where she went, so long as she brought Yvonne with her, she would become the center of attention and the envy of many.

Diana enjoyed being admired by others, which was why she was willing to spend so much money on Yvonne.

Yolanda, on the other hand…

Diana looked at Yolanda and thought, "Having one daughter is enough! Why did the heavens give me another useless child?"

In the meantime, Charlie's eyes lit up.

"How did you know about Ms. Harrington?"

Although Jess was a legendary artist, those who didn't know traditional painting well weren't familiar with her work.

Besides, since her painting skills were rather erratic, beginners couldn't copy her style.

As such, traditional painting teachers wouldn't usually introduce Jess' works to them. They were afraid that their students wouldn't be able to deal with it.

After all, if they tried to imitate her, it would only cause more trouble for them.

None of Charlie's students knew who Jess was, and they didn't know about her art pieces at all.

"I only know a little bit about her." Yvonne smiled humbly and continued, "Besides, I'm not that skilled yet. I have to improve my foundations first. As such, I can only admire Ms. Harrington's works, and I can't copy her art style."

After hearing that, Charlie became even more pleased. "It seems that you know your abilities well!"

Once the people around her heard that, they started clapping, and Yvonne became the center of attention.

Meanwhile, Yolanda observed the art piece in a small corner and quickly lost interest in the painting.

After Yvonne finished her speech, Yolanda said slowly, "This painting is an imitation."
