"Draw bright flowers"、Should I paint it a bright color?。Or should I put a dark color next to it?。-The correct answer is at the end of the article.。

"Bright/dark" is a matter of relative "perception"。Even if it's the same flower、It looks brighter when the surroundings are dark、If the surroundings are bright, the flowers will look dark。When indicating absolute brightness、For example, it is indicated as ``3.5 in the Munsell color system'' or 6.0.。If you have a yardstick, you can measure it.。

What does "relative" mean?、It means, "If you put the two together, you can understand."。being far away、If another color is inserted in between, the meaning of "relative" will be lost.。A、B、C、If the four pieces of D fit together without any gaps、1You can rank up to ~4.。I understand the difference。It is important to “stick together”。
but、in real paintings、It is often necessary to make comparisons at distant locations.。take a photo、If you just compare it on your computer、It's still easy though、That doesn't happen during actual production.。This is because each part creates a "relative" differentiation from its surroundings.。Besides,、Even if people understand this, 99.9% of people will ignore it.。Because it's "troublesome" (I was like that myself until a few years ago)。But、That may deny that your drawing is a “painting” (I will omit the details of the reason)。

It looks brighter even though it is the same color (brightness)、It's a kind of illusion that it looks dark.。Illusions are caused by the "normal" functioning of the brain ("normal"。Don't worry)。The artistic expression of painting、Stimulate the brain through the eyes、It is a genre that is created by intentionally causing a certain kind of illusion.、“How to stimulate (the brain)、What illusions, impulses, and actions do we create?、It can be said that it is now a world-class cutting-edge research topic.。Even if you just look at some simple reference examples (on the Internet),、It becomes surprisingly applicable.。

*The correct answer is、"Place a dark color next to it"。

3Month 26th 16:00、The Blue Seagull Exhibition has ended successfully.。Executive committee members、thank you for your hard work。All sellers have a long road ahead of them.、And thank you very much for your duty.。Everyone attending the event、Everyone who is interested、thank you。

It's miso in front、I think the level has improved somewhat from the previous exhibition.。Technical aspects such as brush strokes are almost unchanged.、Mainly how to think about “composition” etc.、I think the intangible aspects of creating works have deepened.。Dear members、One more stretch、Let's do our best to improve in that direction.。

A year and a half since the last exhibition、I think there have been many changes in terms of health and environment.。If anything, I think the negative aspects are becoming more common.。It is admirable that you have continued to draw during this time.、This is proof that the passion continues to burn.。It must have been painful at times, though.、As much as the passion I put into it、Perhaps there was also a sense of peace and vitality that I received from the paintings.。The depth of the world of paintings、The more you dig into it, the deeper and richer it becomes.。

I wrote on this blog more than ten years ago that "comparing yourself to others is the beginning of unhappiness."、That feeling hasn't changed at all.。The important thing is not to be better than others、It's about digging deeply into your potential.。When comparing with others、It's not about skill or the reputation of those around you.、Look into the depths and see。In the shout just before the WBC final、Mr. Otani said it very well.。“It’s good to respect (others), but、You can't surpass yourself just by doing that。we are now、I'm here to surpass myself。(Just for now) Stop respecting me.、Let's focus on digging。Let’s go.”。a little bit、Was it wrong? That's what it sounded like to me。
