Apply grisaille

"Autumn (grisaille study)" watercolor

Try drawing a backlit figure in grisaille。What is grisaille?、One of the classic oil painting techniques、First, I drew it in black and white to give it a three-dimensional effect.、Then use transparent paint、How to draw by layering on top of the previous shading。Basically, it is a technique that takes advantage of the properties of oil painting.、Even if I try to apply it to watercolor、There are some things that are impossible in principle.。(For details on Grisaille, see this blog on August 15th.、22Please see the day)

In watercolor grisaille (I'm not sure if I can call it that)、On the other hand, it can be said that it is a drawing method that is difficult to fail.、Can be changed midway、More difficult than the normal drawing method。And、To start drawing in gray first、Lightly unique to watercolor、Losing the ever-changing world of color、It becomes a technique that uses the basic handicap as a starting point.。Commonly used cheap paper is difficult to use.。

But、those are technical issues、This is not a problem as a painting.。In painting, you don't care about materials or techniques.、All that matters is what kind of mental image it gives to the viewer or artist.。

Paintings are something to look at, but、Before we know it, we have begun to ``read'' paintings.。If you have prior knowledge、I guess it's because I feel like I can "understand paintings more deeply."。
The historical meaning of what is depicted、Even if you don't know anything about the technique、People say, ``This color is beautiful'' or ``It's amazing how clear the line is.''、How to feel rather than how to see、I think you should value it more。When you bite into an apple with the skin on、I don't want to lose the moment when I feel my teeth breaking through the skin and the juice dripping.、Because I think。

１９８４

"At the foot of Mt. Nasu" acrylic

There is a famous novel called ``1984.''。1949Published in 2013, British author George Orwell imagined the near future of 1984.、Cameras and microphones are placed everywhere.、A society that monitors people is expressed in a science fiction style.。

If you think about it from the time it was published, it's only been 35 years in the near future.。At that point, it certainly didn't turn out as Orwell had imagined.、21Now in the century、it has become a reality。

Already beyond simple cameras and microphones、That's AI。AI agents are a hot topic right now.、How to use AI、how to interact、This is not a childish level story.、Humanity will no longer be able to control AI、there is a possibility of extinction、That's the story。What makes “1984” even more hopeless is that、That's not the "near future"、It's "now"。

It is called super intelligence AI (super intelligence).、There is a competition to see which companies will be the first to create AI that surpasses all human intelligence.、It is said that we are already approaching the "endgame"。It is true that on the one hand, AI can also be a great force for human peace, health, medical care, etc.。But、on the other hand、What is AI that surpasses all human knowledge?、There's something that no one knows yet。Even if it doesn't mean that it dares to attack humanity,、As a result, it is possible that this will happen.。that's why、before it is produced、what it will be like、what it should be like、Once we slow down the development competition,、There are proposals to think on a global scale.。engineers are pessimistic。``Even if I don't do it, someone will do it.'' ``I don't know what will happen, but、It is said that the predominant mindset is ``I'll just make it first'' and ``I'll think about what I want it to be after it's done.''。the result of human stupidity、Looks like it's already within sight。

I've uploaded。Look!

As usual、I was able to upload it a week late.。I'm struggling every time though、I feel like I'm physically exhausted this time.。It's been about 10 days since I started editing.、At a time when things are about to come together、I redid almost half the configuration.。

Copying various content on YouTube、I took the liberty of labeling it as a “preserved version.”。The first thing that came to mind was、Let's remember that we worked so hard、A “preserved version” for personal memory.。The rest is、on the same theme、I might not be able to make more、in the sense of、This is also a very personal “archive version”。I want people who see it to feel like they should save it.、I just hope。

He repeatedly says "it's difficult" in the video.。On the other hand、Call it a challenge or something。What are you doing?。If that's the case, why don't you start from the beginning?。

This is always the case though、It was fun to deviate from the theme this time as well.。That's why I draw pictures、simple、That's when I'm drawing the striped pattern on people's clothes.。Total time: 25 minutes、This is the longest video for me、About 4 minutes in it、Silently drawing stripes。Although I have already declined, asking you to go ahead.、Usually for too long。But、If it's shorter than this、myself、I feel like I'm going to lose interest in watching this video、unavoidable。This sweetness is my fault。
