Painting: Creating “brightness”

Wrapping roses (watercolor) F6

"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"。

YouTube から気づいたこと―わたしの場合

黄色い花のスケッチ(水彩)

昨日(3/28)教室でデモ制作したスケッチですこれを一回の講座時間内で描き上げるのはなかなか難しいと思います教室の人たちも結構焦りながら(かつのんびりと)描いていたようです

教室の人たちは皆さんベテランなので当然のようにすんなり描き始めますが初心者でいきなりこれを描けと言われたらとたんに固まってしまいおそらく手も足も出ないでしょう教室では何十段ものステップを積み重ねてきていますから本人の満足度を別にすれば、For the time being、これに近い状態まで描き上げることができました

こんな複雑なモチーフを短時間で描けること自体すでに初心者とは言えないレベルであることを示していますがそれなのに油絵や他の教室の人たちも含め「自分はちっとも進歩していない」「いつになっても初心者レベル」とどうも思い込んでいるようなのです理由は「遠近法がよく理解できていないようだ」とか「骨格や表情の表現がうまくできない」からなのでしょう確かにそれらの一つ一つは乗り越えてほしい課題ですが全体として見ればある程度描きたいものは描けるようになっています常に上を見る上達への志向性と「自分はまだまだ」と自信を持てないこととが裏腹になっているのですね

Recently、YouTubeをやって気づいたことはたくさんあるのですがそのひとつが今述べたことですYouTubeへのアップに力を入れ始めて半年視聴者はずっと増え続けましたがここ1~2ヶ月はどんどん減っています決して手抜きではないし内容が悪いわけでもない。Then、どういうことなのか?送られてくるデータをもとに考えてみました
 ひとつの仮説―内容が難し(高度)過ぎる
 ビデオを企画するとき頭の中に教室の人たちのことを思い浮かべますそして彼(女)らが次のステップに進む助けになるように作ろうと考えます。on the other hand、YouTubeは基本的に上昇より間口の広いことがプラスに働くようにプログラムされています日本人の多くの人は自分の実力を過小評価しがちです中級どころか上級者でさえ「自分はまだ初心者」と考えているのですもちろん謙遜もあるでしょうが少し自己肯定感のバランスが行き過ぎではないでしょうか。Anyway、This is why、初心者以上のレベルを想定すると間口がぎゅっと縮まってしまうのではないかそんなふうに感じています視聴者が増えていた時はわたしもYouTube初心者だった(それは今もですが)ので「初心者」とある意味で波長が合っていたのでしょう

Blue Seagull Exhibition - Completed successfully

venue:The event was held amid cherry blossoms in full bloom.
The sketch exhibit at the entrance of the venue was unexpectedly (or naturally!) well received.。everyone、Be more confident!

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、大谷選手がいみじくも言いました「(他人を)リスペクトするのはいいがそれだけでは(自分を)超えられないわたしたちは今自分を越えるためにここにいる(今だけは)リスペクトをやめて掘り下げることに専念しようさあ行こう」。a little bit、違いましたか?わたしにはそう聞こえましたが
