Chapter 70 Morning light cut through the studio windows. Cold. Gray. The kind that made everything look washed out. Sienna stood in front of a canvas. New. Blank hours ago. Not anymore.

Not the colors she usually painted with. Not the ones critics called "luminous" and "hopeful."

"I must be saying that a lot mustn't I?" I rush to the primed canvas and run my hands on its surface. I notice the paint brushes and run towards them. I feel the bristles, some are synthetic while others are natural. The paints smile at me in order. Oils, acrylics, gouache.... Oh may God.... "What is this place?" I whisper more to myself than to Ric. I do a spin and it feels like I'm in heaven. I turn to him and he's standing right in front of me. "What is this?"

” I assure her. She nods but looks at the floor. ”Help me set up these easels. I have no idea how to assemble these” I try to lighten the mood. ”I’m not surprised about that” Celine snarks and I laugh out loud. She sure has got a bad mouth. We set up the easels, and Celine helps me to set up all the paints, brushes and pencils and all the other stuff on the shelves. I would have just dumped them on the shelves but she categorized them by color and the quality of the paint. I learnt that oil paint is different to acrylic paint.

The groom mounting the bride on a throne of corpses. My hand moved faster than my mind. I dipped the brush deeper, harder, tearing at the canvas like I was cutting flesh. I mixed the reds and blacks until they bled together, thick and viscous. The eyes I painted stared back, wide and lifeless. The flowers were rotting. The sky dripped gore. A massacre. And I smiled. They wanted a masterpiece? I’d give them one they’d never forget.

I stated as I picked the one in the left side. He was talking about me buying paintbrushes, asking me why I kept on buying new ones when I could just use the old ones. I explained to him that you can't use the old ones anymore if they are already too old, they need to rest. “ What are you going to paint? ” “ Just the...sunset.” I gazed at his hands as I saw how he put paintbrushes and acrylic paints in the cart. He notice my stares at him so he smiled and pat my head.

Empty. She picked up a brush. She didn't reach for the black paint. Or the iron. Or the red of the wound. She reached for the white. And the yellow. And a tiny, translucent drop of gold. She started to paint. She didn't paint a fortress. She didn't paint a wall. She painted space. Big, open, terrifying space. Light pouring into a room that had been dark for a long time. It looked like water. It looked like air. It looked like letting go.

One wrong whisper, one wrong rumor, and everything Sophie and Xavier were trying to build could shatter. I pushed it down. Focus. Protect them. Protect our children. Protect the future we’re fighting for. The first artist lived above a pottery guild. She answered the door with ink on her fingers and irritation in her eyes. “You think I’m sneaking around with protest paint?” she scoffed. “Half my work is murals. The red you saw on the walls?

Galene twirled in the aisle and ran a hand along a white canvas. "Besides, I like your current work."

More like weird groan, it felt like my skin suddenly came alive, like I could taste colors, like my black and white world sometimes stained with red suddenly came alive with… rainbows. My right hand, another thing I hated using to paint, went on, tracing the perfect crevices of her face, her skin, the pretty floral dress she had on in the picture, the soft curls and waves of her dark hair, her pouty lips. Her hazel eyes… NovellWarrior: the tuition, the buildings, the uniforms, the rich kids, and their rich orients….honestly, everything. Pretty valid for a student like me, right?” “Fair,” I replied, and the moment my text was sent, hers came in.

Above the snowline, zinc white mixed with cobalt blue created a heavy-snow effect through short, vertical lines. A sunlight beam in the upper-right corner, painted with gold powder and varnish, shimmered like liquid light under the gaze. "Behold Mr. Neil's palette-knife technique," urged a voice. Priscilla puffed out her chin, as proud as a peacock in full display. As the oil painting was spread out on the carved display rack, everyone held their breath. On the canvas, snow-capped mountains, occupying two-thirds of the frame diagonally, were painted in Prussian blue and titanium white.
