Go to Ryugu

         “Going to Ryugu”  Mixed media

Half a year?、Maybe more than that、I've been having trouble getting my hands on the No. 4 item.、I finally finished。It was planned to be one of the Apple series, but、I got bored and threw it away halfway through.。

It all started when I was shocked and said, “I forgot how to do an encaustic!”。A bottle that I haven't used in a while.、Suddenly it rolled out in front of me。
-Encaustic is beeswax (extracted from the wax component contained in honeycomb)。It is the oldest wax known to mankind.。crushing the beehive、overheat to melt the wax、impurities、What is extracted by filtering out garbage etc.、In modern times, art supply stores、Available in beautiful packaging。Portraits are sometimes depicted on mummified coffins in ancient Egypt.、That is a beeswax painting。Discoloration even after thousands of years、There are no cracks (the wood of the base deteriorates more)。It's the perfect paint, so to speak.、It's extremely difficult to draw anyway。The freedom of oil paints etc.、I can't even compare。And it's wax、soft、There are also disadvantages such as being easily damaged.
It's an unfinished work that should be left alone anyway.、There are failures、I thought I'd try using that。

The color is deep (I don't care if I say so myself)! It's still half dry though、After a few months、If you polish it with a cloth, it will have more depth.。

I tried giving it a story-like title like “Going to the Dragon Palace.”、Depending on how you look at it、Was he a castaway thrown out to sea in a simple maritime accident?、It might be like that in outer space.。by the way、That Endurance、2022Year、107Finally discovered on the ocean floor at a depth of 3,000m after a long absence.、What's more, this amazing photo is in excellent condition.、I saw it in a National Geo feature last year (about the British expedition that attempted to cross Antarctica in 1915).、The boat got stuck in the ice and sank.。All crew members returned safely after 22 months.。A famous incident that has been made into many movies)。Let's get back to the topic...
It seems like he will go to the afterlife before becoming Urashima Taro.、Because I remembered it、I'm thinking (at this moment) that I'll try to use it as much as possible this year.。I don't know about tomorrow。
