             「りんごの風景」  水彩  F4

東日本特に関東太平洋側では晴天が続き今日も乾燥注意報が出ているカラッとした良い天気だがわたしの気分はずっとウエットなまま。At times like that、こういう絵を描いて気分を乾燥させる

赤と黄色と緑いつもながらわたしのワンパターンこんなにあからさまにこの三色をどれも高彩度で使うようなカラーセンスのない人は珍しいと自分でも感じる普通は三色のうち一色を抜いた二色でバリエーションを作り抜いた一色をアクセントとして使うとかもうちょっと洒落た使い方をするあるいは三色を交互に混ぜて(重ねて)近い色どうしにまとめていく。Anyway、こんなにストレートでバラバラに(交通信号機のように)原色を使う絵を見ることは少ない(子どもの絵には圧倒的に多い!)

色の無いモノトーンの世界にわたしは憧れるだから雪の風景はことさら心を惹かれる。Nevertheless、絵を描くとつい鮮やかにより純粋にと色を使いたくなってしまうカラーセンサーのどこかが壊れているに違いない他の画家たちの絵を見るたびに、That's right、こんな色遣いをしなくっちゃと強く願うのだが画廊を出て3歩歩くともう忘れている

モノトーンの絵はカッコいい大人の絵だと思うのだが色をたくさん使うのは頭を空っぽにできて楽しい屁理屈をこねる割にはもともとの頭がガキっぽいのだろうそれならそれでいいはずなのにそこに自分を100%投げ込めないジレンマがある

Ichiro

"Any living thing、“Always exceeds our imagination” Watercolor

Former baseball player Ichiro、He became the first Japanese person to be inducted into the American Baseball Hall of Fame.、The news spread throughout Japan that。I have nothing to add about that.、just one、There are things that I would like to write down that are related to me as well.。

What I respect about Mr. Ichiro is、Because his grades are superhuman、isn't it。The patience to see through yourself、A certain kind of "mental weakness (or strength)"、This is because he combined it with his own ideas.。He fell one vote short of a full vote for induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame.。Regarding that, I said, ``Good.。It's a good thing to have something you're lacking.''、That is clearly expressed。And “What’s next is important.”。It looks like Mr. Ichiro.、That's a great comment。

I am weak、There are many things that are not as good as others.、His ``weakness'' that he realizes lies at the bottom of his ``delicate strength.''、I have always admired。I guess it's his honest sensibilities.。And he worked tirelessly to make it ``somehow on par with other people (at least he must not have been arrogant, thinking ``better than them'').、Even if I consider other people's opinions、Cultivate in your heart the ``Ichiro-like'' philosophy of taking full responsibility for your own results.、I think we reached that height as a result.。Everyone can do a little bit of each thing.。But、Most people have two choices: slack off or give up halfway through.。

For example, it made Ichiro famous.、There is a uniquely devised "muscle training machine"。At that time、For athletes from countries such as the United States who are naturally physically strong,、muscle training etc.、No matter how much my trainer tried to explain it to me, I didn't feel it was necessary from the bottom of my heart.。But、Mr. Ichiro is not one of the largest Japanese people.、Although he achieved good results in his first year in the United States,、In his heart, he must have felt the difference in physical strength between him and the American athletes.。"The same thing will happen tomorrow as it does now"、Will he be able to do it next season?"、I must have been unable to shake off that anxiety.。And、Despite receiving ridicule and ridicule from players and the U.S. media,、There must have been no choice but to silently head towards the muscle training machine.。running、to throw、It continued in all my thoughts。
And what I learned was muscle strength.、More than physical strength、Believe in your own sensibilities and act on them, no matter what others say.、I think it was the "strength of spirit" that。That's compared to myself、(The comparison only makes sense to me personally. (^-^;) The greatness of Mr. Ichiro。

procedure

"Morning coffee" watercolor

When drawing a picture、Watercolor is better than oil painting、Strict about procedures。To put it simply:、No matter how you paint with oil, you can reach roughly the same goal.、In watercolor painting, bad steps can have disastrous results.、Or that you can't reach it。

It has almost nothing to do with personal technique.、There is a reason for the principle of watercolor painting itself.。With oil painting, you can freely move towards brightness or darkness.、Watercolor painting can only be done in the dark direction.。The order of how to proceed with it、In other words, if the procedure goes wrong、The fact that it cannot be returned to its original bright position。Everyone has failed at that once or twice.、Everyone must have experienced it.。

that's why、In a watercolor study、composition、In addition to considering the configuration、I often try drawing to check the steps.。
It's not just about paintings、In society, there is such a thing as "pressing the wrong button".。If you place the first buttonhole in the wrong position、Even if I noticed it midway through, I still couldn't fix it.、I say that the relationship will become strained.、Watercolors are similar。I posted three photos of progress along the way.、If you follow a different procedure、You should have reached a different goal.。(By the way, there is a perspective error in this study.。I'll fix it before I forget、This is within the range that can be corrected even if the procedure is incorrect.)
