Pear and Kakitsubata

Candy box with pears and “Kakitsubata”

Creating demos in the classroom。It's almost pear season again this year.。It's a motif I've drawn over and over again.、I never get bored (at least for me)。Each time a certain problem appears、Maybe it's because I'm always looking for new answers in my own way.。

Still、A little variation of the motif each time、What I want is a challenging change in the way of expression.、Because I am also the one who sees it。This time I'm usually in front of my computer.、I placed an origami candy box as an accent.。Good color too、There are also appropriate technical challenges、It became a fun motif。However、To give you a little more detail,、I can't tell from the picture what this is。Also called "Candy Box"、There's no particular use for that.、After all, it's just a paper box and that's what I called it.。You can't tell if it's made of paper just by looking at the picture.。This is what I mean by technical issues.、Apparently it hasn't been cleared.。

This hexagonal box、This was given to me by Mr. A, a fellow haiku writer, at a haiku gathering.。Mr. A often does origami.、I think I heard that there are times when you can teach at facilities etc.。When I saw how to fold it、I remembered that this was the same as the Dutch Dahlmans waffle box.。I have bought this box as a souvenir from the countryside several times because I was more attracted to the box (how it was folded) than the contents (however.、in Japan)。On the paper is a print of Korin Ogata's ``National Treasure Kakitsubata Folding Screen.''。It has a lid and is elaborate.。

I feel that it is important to preserve the whiteness of the paper in watercolor paintings (especially small pieces).。White (even black) makes all colors stand out、I think it's the ultimate spice (it's strange that in oil painting, even if you leave the white on the canvas, it has no effect at all)。However、As time passes and the paper turns yellow, the magic disappears.。In a picture with a wide white area like this one,、glass to frame、We recommend an acrylic board that blocks UV rays.。

Blue seagull sketch session

In front of the station：Sketch session starts at 10am
Noda city：Just before the end around 2pm

In the blue seagull painting class、We had a free sketch session in Noda City, Chiba Prefecture.。20 participants。no wind、A sunny and pleasant day(It's a little hot in the sun in the morning)。

Noda City is the town of soy sauce.、Kikkoman's corporate castle town。If I don't draw this, I won't feel like I've drawn Noda City.。But、In the first half, I was fascinated by the city's tourist attractions.、I ended up going to a historical building.。Lunch is now the Civic Hall.、We each ate our own bento at the former home of the founding family of Kikkoman.。The size and construction of this private residence is unbelievable.、It was great to be able to feel the luxury of the past.。

As for me、This time I was thinking of becoming a seagull man and making a video of the sketch session.、As soon as I started sketching, everyone suddenly scattered.、I suddenly found myself in a situation where it seemed hopeless to achieve my goal.。I have no idea who is where。I brought a tripod with me, so I was able to set it up and record my own sketch video.、I couldn't find a place that I wanted to sit down and draw.。

in the afternoon、I feel a little sad if I don't have any results.、I started searching for interesting places.。That's the sketch below。This one is today's best for now。Oh dear、It's like that everywhere、First time going、If you want a good sketch all of a sudden, insects are too good.。While repeating failure and reflection、2It takes me three times to finally start to see what I need to draw from the other side. 。This time too, I had done my homework beforehand.、Even if it didn't lead to a satisfactory result, I was able to grasp an image through sketching.。That's enough for this time。It is important to repeat this。

Shinsuke Fujisawa solo exhibition ②：him as a painter

①Information for solo exhibition：Even the maps are often hand-drawn.
②The visual experience is dynamic because it is not a square screen.

　

③I color the paper before cutting it.。That's what's amazing about it

Additions to the “Shinsuke Fujisawa Solo Exhibition” introduced the other day。In the last blog, I did not mention ``Shinsuke Fujisawa as a painter'' due to space constraints.、I think it will be very suggestive not only to me but also to many people who draw.、I've felt the need to write about it for some time now.。

①His solo exhibition invitations always look hand-drawn.。Maps are also often hand-drawn.。I receive many invitations for solo exhibitions from many painters.、My job is to draw、From painters who love drawing more than anything.、There are very few cases like this (including when I do it)。"I like drawing pictures.、It's fun.''、This single page clearly shows the most important information in the invitation.。It is a guide to be seen rather than read.、From the first step, it looks like a painting.。

②There are probably no more people who think that painting is something that is painted on a canvas.、Even a picture drawn in the sand on the beach、Even a picture drawn in the air with your fingertips is a picture.、This is a "painting" format that is so obvious that it is natural。But、Leaving that logic aside、this、At first glance, the ``presentation'' looks like ``children's paper cutting''.、Actually, his hidden confidence、I feel like I'm not free。I don't really understand "modern painting"、I think even many painters and critics feel this deep down.、Isn't this simple expression just that?。leave the gallery、When you step out into the city, you can see that.。

③ (If you have literary talent) You should be able to write a novel with this one picture.。His life as a writer so far is packed here (I don't think this is a word that should be taken lightly).。The colors and lines drawn on the frog in the center are、This is done before being cut into the shape of a frog.。In other words、The colors were painted before it was even known whether it would be shaped like a frog or not.、It's a line。Finally cut it、“It has become” like this、The wonder of merging chance and necessity in an instant、It's beyond my imagination。And that is what “painting” is all about.、my chest trembles。
