Takashi's personal blog。Not just about paintings、What I think about every day、what you feel、I write whatever comes to mind。This blog is the third generation。From the beginning, it has been over 20 years.。 2023From January 1st、For now, I decided to just write on odd numbered days.。I'm going to think about my future direction and other things piece by piece.。

I think I'll feature portraits next.

"Olga Blue" Tempera、mixed media 2006

It feels like it's been a while since it rained (though it rained about a week ago)。Today I concentrated on video editing all day.。This is a video from last month's sketch session.。1It took months but I finally finished editing the clip.。I wonder why it took so long。I'll put on BGM tomorrow、Scheduled to be uploaded within the day。

1If it takes months、The pace is messed up、My motivation and tension while editing are all gone.。Certainly this past month、In the first half, I couldn't go out because of my lower back pain.、There was a lot of mental stress as well.。

これが終わったら、I've been planning to make portrait videos for a while.。Since last week, I have been pulling out photographic materials of models and other things.、Start practicing with watercolor。その過程で、A photo of a painting depicting Olga wearing a Russian Orthodox costume (ordinarily called it a national costume) has emerged (above).。By the way, the blue color of the costume is my creation.)。The data says it's a mix of tempera and something.。I don't remember what I mixed though.、I remember concentrating on a few points and drawing them.、The actual item is still 1、2The dot must be sleeping somewhere.。nostalgic。

There is a background pattern under the pattern of costumes and hats.、I drew it with an interest in expressing that overlap.。If you zoom in, you'll see that there's a lot of effort put into drawing it.。Looking at it now、Although it is drawn quite roughly、20I feel like I have more physical strength than I did a year ago.。

"Evening clouds" (study) watercolor、F4

For the time being、This study concludes。There was no problem in assembling the work procedure.、Small problems may occur during actual work.。Judging from the previous photo, it took a surprisingly long time.。If I draw it again、I think it could probably be made into a more poetic image.。Works that I may (or may not) draw someday、I also wanted to draw the scenery passing by from the train.。

unfinished sketch、Works that must be drawn、YouTube must be uploaded quickly、Some peach trees need to be cut down、And so on。Even though I usually have free time、When they overlap, they overlap。Drawing is a fun way to keep busy。Only if you're alive、Should I say。

tomorrow is early。good night。

Based on the photo above、Depicting the view from the former lifelong learning center。It's already been a month since we started prototyping.、I didn't make much during that time.。

At first I was planning to remove it with masking fluid, but、Considering the effect of sharp lines on blinds、Switched to masking tape。Places where the vertical line is about to topple due to the angle.、２，Looks like I need to fix 3 places.。

The prototype is F4 size, so the tape is cut out like this.、30This method probably won't work once you reach the size of。Not limited to watercolors、There is more than one way to achieve a vision.、The choice will also vary depending on the person's experience and skills.。Thinking about the process、Enter the joy of painting。I don't know much about cooking、from a long time ago、I feel like it's very similar。

Do you draw 〇ten paintings in a year?、Selected for ○○ exhibition、入賞を目指すとか、After many years of such a period、What I'm thinking now is、``Painting that can be enjoyed quietly and alone is the best''。I don't need someone to praise me (that's rather unnecessary)、Is there anything more valuable than being able to spend some deep time in silence?、I am thinking that。
