Even on cloudy days, the number of days approaching 30℃ is increasing.。I feel even more reluctant to go out.。The summer heat is painful、I don't hate it at all。Even though I'm complaining about the heat、The reason I can work better in the summer may be because I can wear light clothing.。My arm is pulled by the sleeve、I just don't feel like I'm being wrapped up in thick fabric.、It feels a lot fresher。

The draft is watercolor。The rest was mostly painted using only acrylic paints and a painting knife.。The building in the back has been extended upwards by about 1.5 times.、The composition might have been better if the sky was made smaller.。Fortunately, you can't draw in detail with a knife.、the argument becomes clear。Such claims etc.、But no one can hear it。

If you learn a little bit about so-called "Western paintings"、You may be surprised to find that pictures of ``lilies'' appear one after another.。The image of what is generally called Western European painting is oil painting (from the 14th century).、Many people know that the main path was "Christian paintings"。There are lilies、Appears as a symbol of "purity" and "nobility"。The most common scene is the one in which the Archangel Gabriel announces to the Virgin Mary that she is pregnant.。

“Eh~、Why am I pregnant? ! How do you draw Maria's surprised face?、Apparently it was a place for painters to show off their skills.。By the way, Leonardo da Vinci also painted this scene.、Leonardo's Maria says, ``I knew it.、That kind of thing.”。"What are you going to do with that?"、It depicts a majestic statue of Mary ``looking from above'' in front of a kneeling archangel.。
Is it because Jesus is born? Jesus。father? is supposed to be John the blacksmith.、This is from a time when there was no DNA testing.、There is a reason for the existence of “lily flowers”。
By the way、"already、Did you find out? ''s perplexed Maria and、It's fun to see a variety of expressions, including the opening of Maria.、The painters of the time may also have enjoyed delusions.。If you are interested,、Let's study (surprisingly straightforward) Western painting.。

unintentionally、I flaunted all my knowledge without any context.、The lily that Gabriel is holding in his hand、Even though it is the same white lily, it is not "Casablanca"。I can tell from the name that Casablanca is a foreign species.、There are mountain lilies in Japan too.、It is said that there are about 15 types of native species, such as the squash lily (from Wikipedia)。

I expanded the previous "watercolor + tempera" to "acrylic + tempera"。This is to eliminate the difference in drying time.。The final red of the plum is painted with tempera.、Other than that, acrylic paint。The plum red was the only color I wasn't satisfied with using acrylic paint.。

people who paint oil paintings、The number one complaint people have about acrylic paints is ``lack''.。Even if it looks plump when I draw it、As it dries, moisture is removed、Refers to the phenomenon of becoming thinner both visually and physically.。Of course、Not limited to acrylic、"Falling" will occur with "water-based paints" in general.。
But、Whether it's watercolors or sumi-e、It's already thin when I draw it, so、There is no gap after drying (color gaps are large in watercolor)。replace it with that、Acrylic paint is a paint that can be raised up.。After being satisfied with the appearance, I am disappointed by the ``lose''、Probably because the gap is large。

Drying of oil paints is different from water-based paints.、Rather than evaporating moisture、This is due to a chemical reaction called oxidation.。The molecules in the paint combine with oxygen in the air and harden.、Oxygen molecules stick together and probably make you fat.。Even if you don't get to the point of gaining weight、It is easy to imagine the final result after drying due to the fact that it “does not evaporate”.。By the way, the color gap too、A big advantage of oil paints is that they are much smaller than watercolors.。

Tempera (whole eggs here) is made by removing moisture and drying.、2-way method with drying by chemical reaction。Furthermore, since it does not contain as much oil as oil paint, there is very little darkening due to oxidation.。Vivid due to high purity of pigments (color element)、And it is durable after drying。However、Groundwork is required every time、There is the hassle of making paints by hand.。
Using techniques together means、It means to want to take advantage of the good things.。If possible, the range of expression will expand.、It's interesting to think about how to combine them.。
