I suddenly thought about it while drawing.。What is the difference between pink and peach?。Of course if you are a painter、They might say something like, ``Pink is crimson rake + white,'' or ``Peach is vermilion + white, right?''。But、People who say, “Isn’t it the same color?”、In fact, it may be the majority.。

``For ordinary people who have little experience in using colors,、Maybe you feel the same way?'' I suddenly wondered.、At that point, I would already belong to the minority that declares that ``pink and peach are different.''。"It's the same, right?" I can't help it because I can't see it.。Of course, the opposite is also true.、The question is, why does such a difference in color feel occur?、That would be the case.。

In my memory, elementary school 4，5Around the age of 10、It was my first time using watercolors (until then I had always used pencils and crayons)。Now it varies depending on the school, but 1，2It seems to be used from around the first grade.。At that age、how to name the colors、How did you mix it up?。
Matching the color name with the actual color is、than commonly imagined、Probably much more difficult。Even when listening to TV or radio broadcasts, etc.、"Emerald green sea" or "cobalt (blue) sky"、She gives the actual color name as if she "knows" it.、If the listener doesn't know about emerald green or cobalt blue, the value will be halved.。
For children, such as "Chairo" (sometimes written as "Tsuchiiro") and "Hadairo"、Some sets include already mixed colors as color names.。Honestly (from a professional point of view), that kind of "childish" nomenclature seen from an adult's perspective、I think it's a problem、However, they also use technical terms such as "crimson rake" and "vermilion".、That's it、That would be a problem。And in the end、Color knowledge and training are impaired。I think it's because "art is not about acquiring knowledge."。

Anyway、That's how adults enter society without any basic knowledge or training about real (?) colors and color names.、Distinguishing between "pink" and "momoiro" may be more difficult than you think.、I changed my mind。If we add “Hadairo” to it,、It's easy to imagine how confusing it would be to differentiate between pink and peach.。"Beige" is、If anything, it's probably a term related to fashion or interior design.、It is a color name that has rarely been used in paintings.。It's a little difficult, but I think "shade" is a similar name.。Maybe it's a special case、I remember seeing or hearing the word ``camel color.''。How well can ordinary people distinguish between color names and colors?、It may seem casual, but it seems to be deeply involved in the quality of culture.。

by the way、In this Picasso painting、All the colors mentioned above are used.、there is a possibility。"It's pink here.、This is beige、Picasso painted this picture while muttering, "This is pink."、I can't even imagine that。

Drawing poinsettias in succession。Every time I draw, I also、I guess you could say it's a guess、I guess you could call it a trick、Is it an effect that if you draw it this way it will look like this? Because you will understand、“Then、It has become easier to realistically try things like, “What would happen if I did this?”。What you can do with “long-lasting” (plants)。Even if it breaks, it's still the same。

There are two things that struck me after I drew it.。

One is the upper end of the handle of the water jug.。I forgot to add a shadow to the part where it connects to the main body.。As it is, it looks like the handle is attached at an angle.。2The second one is a large bowl containing (or does it look like) a green apple?。I should have made the front side larger (enough to cover half of the apple)。You can add the shadow of the handle later.、There's nothing I can do to fix the pot.。I should have thought about it a little more。

Focused only on the expression of poinsettia、My mind wasn't working flexibly。But it's okay。this is a sketch。If I were to turn it into a work、At that time, you should make use of your current reflections.。For the time being、Good thing I drew it. Modify this in your own way、Better if I can arrange it 。This is it、Best if you can express it as 。When I was in junior high school、You studied comparative expressions in English (I think).。I wonder if it can be used at times like this...。(What?、different? What should I do?)

The explanation version of "Drawing a Poinsettia" has been uploaded.。Explanation of the "Poinsettia sketch" that I uploaded the other day、This is the long version (15 minutes 11 seconds)。were doing it in parallel、Or rather、"Sketch" is a collection of parts of this version that will be of interest even to people who don't draw.。This is、This is for people who are currently drawing.、Although the motif is the same, the content and direction are different.。

It will take some time after this、I would like to release a video of the on-site sketch of the landscape by the end of the year.。It's great to sketch while you can hear the birds chirping.。There are only two weeks left until the end of the year。I get busy at the end of the year, so、You'll probably have to do it quite desperately.。

Incidentally, I would like to mention that、Of course, these types of videos (not necessarily mine) can be viewed on smartphones.、If possible, please view it on your computer.。After all, the screen is big、For example, with watercolor, you can see the amount of water flowing on the paper.、on smartphone、I can only understand the movement of the brush。If you are drawing a picture, please do so.。

For the time being、I think I can sleep well with this today。good night。
