There are really only two things players have to find here: Vermeer's paintbrush and his paints. Unfortunately he somehow managed to lose them on completely opposite sides of the lake. Vermeer had a detailed, meticulous style, using extremely fine pigments to produce realistic paintings that play with light, reflection, and focus. He mostly painted interior scenes with normal people going about everyday activities while bathed in beautiful, perfect light. Guides Published on October 20, 2020 Alex GibsonHome » Guides » Genshin Impact: Look For Vermeer’s Paintbrushes & Paints Quest GuideThere are a huge number of different quests to undertake throughout the open-world of Tevyat. And while many of them revolve around combat first and foremost, there are a handful that involves some basic puzzle-solving. Vermeer was a master of colouristic effects, but like most 17th-century Dutch painters he worked with a surprisingly limited palette. In these four paintings Vermeer used ultramarine – by far the most expensive pigment available to artists – to the exclusion of all other blue pigments.
There's a lot to take in when starting Genshin Impact. With a big, vibrant world filled with things to explore, players could walk in any direction and hit something interesting. But perhaps the best way to get started in Genshin Impact is to find quests and, basically, never stop.
This is because there are a lot of quests to go around, many exploring the nooks and crannies of Genshin Impact's world. While it's best to stay with the main story quest at first, there are other quests out there waiting for more experienced players. One of these involves Luhua Pool, which is not only beautiful, but also hiding a secret. There's an artist there who's having some trouble with his art supplies and needs the player's help. Here's how to do it.

Step 1: Luhua Pool
The entire quest is centered around Luhua Pool in Liyue, a large lake with some circular ruins in it. Players will find Veneer, the NPC who gives the quest, right nearby. He's a painter who is trying to capture the beauty of the lake, but unfortunately he's lost his painting equipment. Keep in mind that the recommended level for this quest is 30. Be sure to level up and raise the adventure rank before attempting the quest.
Step 2: Finding the Supplies
There are really only two things players have to find here: Vermeer's paintbrush and his paints. Unfortunately he somehow managed to lose them on completely opposite sides of the lake. The distance is just long enough to be annoying, but Genshin Impact's fast travel can help. The brush is at some ruins, in a section overlooking the lake, in what looks like a campsite. There's a glowing spot on the ground, in the corner of a ruined wall. That's the brush.
Next, travel across the lake to the top of a hill. A similar campsite will greet you, complete with books lying around in piles. The paints are there, right under the lip of the cliff. Both of these locations show up in Verneer's painting, which can help when looking for the exact locations.
Step 3: The Statues
The paint is not the end of the quest. Afterwards, players must find a special stone by the Pool's shores. Once found, this stone (plus one more from Verneer) must be placed atop two statues. Once that's done, players will need to use a Geo skill to open a secret passage. Since it's recommended that players reroll their starting character to get Anemo skills, be sure to bring a character with Geo power to the spot.
Step 4: The Fight
All of this leads to a battle against three Abyss Mages, each with a different element. Be sure to learn the elemental matchups against bosses, and players should be good to go.
