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.。
「それで不足、不満を感じない」。ここに「都会の中の孤島」があるんだな、It is a sport that is firmly connected to the essence of current sports.。たとえ話だが、かつて日本の農家では牛や馬を使って農作業をしていた。もちろんすべての農家が牛馬を飼えるはずはなく、それを所有できる農家はある程度の富農に限られる。牛馬の無い農家で、小さな農地なら「それで不足、不満を感じ」なかったのではないか、そういう農家の方が圧倒的に多数でもあったろうし。But、牛や馬を使っていた農家がそれを失ったときはどうだろうか。不足・不満どころか、何とかしてそれに代わる、より効率的なものを欲しがるのではないか、たとえば耕耘機(こううんき)とか。
都会の話をしているのに日本の農家の例ではいかにも頓珍漢だったが、要するに「発想の広がり」のこと。「不足、不満を感じない=自足自給=足るを知る=小さな幸せ」的な発想は、ある意味現代の日本にも通底している、ひとつの発想のように思える。on the other hand、(持たざる人から見れば)「牛馬は贅沢」かも知れないが、それは耕耘機という新しい機材への眼を開き、さらにトラックなどその次の広がりを喚起する。そして「小さな幸せ」は「小さな幸せ」どうしを繋ぐ手段も失い、どんどん「不足も不満もない」自分一人の「孤島(孤独ではない)」になっていく。そんな絵が見えた。
I suddenly thought about it while drawing.。What is the difference between pink and peach?。Of course if you are a painter、They might say something like, ``Pink is crimson rake + white,'' or ``Peach is vermilion + white, right?''。But、People who say, “Isn’t it the same color?”、In fact, it may be the majority.。
``For ordinary people who have little experience in using colors,、Maybe you feel the same way?'' I suddenly wondered.、At that point, I would already belong to the minority that declares that ``pink and peach are different.''。"It's the same, right?" I can't help it because I can't see it.。Of course, the opposite is also true.、The question is, why does such a difference in color feel occur?、That would be the case.。
In my memory, elementary school 4,5Around the age of 10、It was my first time using watercolors (until then I had always used pencils and crayons)。Now it varies depending on the school, but 1,2It seems to be used from around the first grade.。At that age、how to name the colors、How did you mix it up?。 Matching the color name with the actual color is、than commonly imagined、Probably much more difficult。Even when listening to TV or radio broadcasts, etc.、"Emerald green sea" or "cobalt (blue) sky"、She gives the actual color name as if she "knows" it.、If the listener doesn't know about emerald green or cobalt blue, the value will be halved.。 For children, such as "Chairo" (sometimes written as "Tsuchiiro") and "Hadairo"、Some sets include already mixed colors as color names.。Honestly (from a professional point of view), that kind of "childish" nomenclature seen from an adult's perspective、I think it's a problem、However, they also use technical terms such as "crimson rake" and "vermilion".、That's it、That would be a problem。And in the end、Color knowledge and training are impaired。I think it's because "art is not about acquiring knowledge."。
Anyway、That's how adults enter society without any basic knowledge or training about real (?) colors and color names.、Distinguishing between "pink" and "momoiro" may be more difficult than you think.、I changed my mind。If we add “Hadairo” to it,、It's easy to imagine how confusing it would be to differentiate between pink and peach.。"Beige" is、If anything, it's probably a term related to fashion or interior design.、It is a color name that has rarely been used in paintings.。It's a little difficult, but I think "shade" is a similar name.。Maybe it's a special case、I remember seeing or hearing the word ``camel color.''。How well can ordinary people distinguish between color names and colors?、It may seem casual, but it seems to be deeply involved in the quality of culture.。
by the way、In this Picasso painting、All the colors mentioned above are used.、there is a possibility。"It's pink here.、This is beige、Picasso painted this picture while muttering, "This is pink."、I can't even imagine that。
Drawing poinsettias in succession。Every time I draw, I also、I guess you could say it's a guess、I guess you could call it a trick、Is it an effect that if you draw it this way it will look like this? Because you will understand、“Then、It has become easier to realistically try things like, “What would happen if I did this?”。What you can do with “long-lasting” (plants)。Even if it breaks, it's still the same。
There are two things that struck me after I drew it.。
One is the upper end of the handle of the water jug.。I forgot to add a shadow to the part where it connects to the main body.。As it is, it looks like the handle is attached at an angle.。2The second one is a large bowl containing (or does it look like) a green apple?。I should have made the front side larger (enough to cover half of the apple)。You can add the shadow of the handle later.、There's nothing I can do to fix the pot.。I should have thought about it a little more。
Focused only on the expression of poinsettia、My mind wasn't working flexibly。But it's okay。this is a sketch。If I were to turn it into a work、At that time, you should make use of your current reflections.。For the time being、Good thing I drew it. Modify this in your own way、Better if I can arrange it 。This is it、Best if you can express it as 。When I was in junior high school、You studied comparative expressions in English (I think).。I wonder if it can be used at times like this...。(What?、different? What should I do?)
