today、I went to the Saitama Prefecture Exhibition.。I wish I could go out feeling good on a ``sunny morning''...、My lower back wasn't feeling well and I was feeling exhausted.。But、If you don't go according to your schedule, you may miss the opportunity to see it.、So that's it。
I always think that、everyone、I'm trying my best to draw well。I'm really impressed。But it's the same thing every time、I wish I could do more ○○、I also think so.。

in the classroom、Because the motif is a rose、Me too (in the classroom)、(Not really) I have more opportunities to try drawing.。As a matter of course、If you have more opportunities to draw, you may realize things you never noticed before.。

At first glance, I think it's an ordinary picture.、Even in this picture、Personally, I feel a little like that.。

People who are not good at drawing、I feel like there are more people than people who say they are good at it.。But、If you ask people who say they are not good at it,、It seems that many people still have the desire to draw (if they can draw).。

If you feel like drawing、I will show you three points from now on.、This allows anyone to draw pictures ``easily''、It is a sport that is firmly connected to the essence of current sports.。
① Don't draw well - "I'm good at it in my own way" is OK。Being good at "seeing others"✖。If you try to draw poorly, you'll end up being overly conscious.、shift by 90°。It's good that you can't tell if you're good or bad.。In other words、don't think about anything。
② Don't try things you're not good at - try to escape somehow。If you don't like details、Enlarge only a part。fail at coloring、If you say、２，3only use colors。If you don't like water、Use dry art materials such as pencils or pastels。in short、If you ``select carefully'' and draw only the parts you want to draw, it will be less burdensome.。The lower the burden, the lower the probability of failure.。
③Be prepared to be ignored – the desire to be praised binds you

There are others though、I can't remember it anyway, so these three are enough.。The most difficult thing is ③。The people who say, ``I don't really want to be praised,''、Pay attention to。There is no one in this world who does not want to be praised.。If others praise you without permission、I wish I could get on board with that.、Don't worry about living up to expectations。Own pace is important。

But、There are probably very few people who can practice these three things.。Many professional painters especially。They are both ①②③、Because people do the exact opposite of this.。oh yeah、I forgot the most important thing。first、buying painting tools。If you don't want to have to endure at most one serving at an izakaya.、Let's give up on painting altogether.。You can draw pictures with just a ballpoint pen.、I need paper。

in the classroom、I decided to try a demonstration of mixing tempera and watercolor.。The picture above is a prototype for that purpose.。to learn new things、The hurdle should be as low as possible。Starting from the history of tempera,、If it seems like a lecture, I'll turn back in front of the gate.。

What is tempera?、This is an old technique that predates the creation of oil painting.、bird eggs、animal milk, blood etc.、Paints that take advantage of the properties of proteins that harden when dry.、It's about the technique of drawing.。In Japan, paintings using starch rather than protein developed.、It also seems to be a type of tempera.。
The support for this painting is thick watercolor paper (it's quite wavy)。Ordinary watercolor there、Painting “watercolor (undercoat)” with flatness in mind。No background painting。

There's only a bright spot、Paint with white tempera (thickly)。I don't use tempera other than white.。The pigment is titanium white。You can make tempera paint just by mixing it with raw eggs.。easy! By the way、Even if you dissolve ordinary watercolors in eggs, they turn into “tempera”。however、That would be a huge waste、Not recommended。

The effects are: (1) It feels thicker than regular watercolors, (2) It is especially useful for people's faces, etc.。Disadvantages? 1) You cannot use the unique technique of watercolor called "bleeding" (it requires some ingenuity), 2) It becomes flat (use it as a positive effect), etc.。The paints are handmade, so、Rather than just squeezing it out of a tube.、It takes a little time (about 3 minutes)、It also has the advantage of being extremely cheap.。
