Creating demos in the classroom。It seems like New Year、I was looking for a way to draw a fishing boat decked out in flags.、I couldn't find a suitable document photo.。I would appreciate it if you could get into the New Year's mood with the white snow and some red.。In sea paintings, it's all about the expression of the waves.、It can be said that it is important。

So、I practiced ripples。Of course, the waves in the distance are small.、The waves in front are big。There are limits to drawing small。in reality or in photos、Even if you can see it、Whether you can draw or not is completely different.。So if possible, think of a way to avoid drawing.。If it's better to draw、What kind of drawing is appropriate?、Including compatibility with paper、Try drawing it once。

I'm sure you'll get better with more practice、Drawing doesn't just have to be good.。That is the entrance to the depth of painting.。I always do well in practice.、Failed during the actual performance、That is a common thing。Moreover,、That "failure" is better、Artistically? What's good about it is that it's different from sports etc.。―Then、You don't have to practice or not, right? surely。Maybe so、Maybe not.。

Even so、What is the purpose of this ship?。Look where the winch is、Is it a boat that reels in nets?。It's a shape I don't remember.。

Looking for new work。past、Some unfinished series? There is、“The Flying Man” is one of them.。``Shelter Man'' and ``Shinsei'' are also derived from this and become the butt-cut dragonfly.。Those “blue series” that disappeared along the way、I hope it's time to unite the image that is currently divided into red and yellow "Apple"。

Its shape is similar to that of Apple.、It looks like a capsule containing a "flying man"。It seems like the ghost of Blue's works.。anyway、still in a chaotic state。Will we be able to arrive at one form?。Right now it's still like the foam of the waves、This is how my paintings are born。

"Night view" is not a subject suitable for transparent watercolors.、I think again。The technique of transparent watercolor、The light that passed through the thin layer of paint reflected the whiteness of the paper.、This is based on the principle of how the light passes through that layer and enters the eye again.、Painting paper black is inherently contradictory.。

By the way, oil paint、There is a transparent layer and an opaque material layer.、Transmitted light and material reflection (surface reflection)、There are two paths to vision.。This creates a sense of solidity and depth in oil paintings (most、Although this "transparent layer" is disliked in modern paintings)。Incidentally,、Although it is the same watercolor painting, if you draw it with ``opaque'' so-called gouache,、The idea is basically similar to oil painting.。however、There is no transparent layer like oil paint, so、That brings up another problem。

To alleviate the contradiction、It is better to apply dark colors as thinly as possible.。that's why、It leaves the whiteness of the paper.。By contrasting with the whiteness of the remaining paper、Darker and “feeling”、It is a technique called transparent watercolor.。Not what you see、You must draw with the effect in mind。In that sense、Much more advanced than oil painting、It's also technically difficult.。
　This is a little off track.、For children、It is my opinion that it is better to become familiar with oil paintings before watercolors.、In that sense, Japan has things like ``don't pollute the surroundings (including yourself),'' ``smell,'' ``package is heavy,'' etc.、From the point of view of art, things that are not essential have a high priority.。Although there are various problems、It's best to start with the easy one.、That's the basics。

I'm off topic, but、With that in mind、"Night view" is more difficult than you might think.。It sounds like an excuse somehow、That's why I want to take on the challenge.。
*On July 11, 2024, with the title “Night Hanaya-mae”、I am drawing a different version of the same motif.。Please compare。
