The taste of pen

"Yacht Harbor" Pen/Watercolor F4

This is a pen sketch that I have been drawing for a long time.、Lately, I've been having a bit of a "my boom" within myself again.。Once you start using a small sketchbook, you won't be able to stop.。The other day, I drew an entire sketchbook (about 17 pictures?) in one day.。still、I wonder how much I can do、I regained some confidence。

In the past, I have drawn about 100 outdoor sketches in a day (less than 500 in a week).。Sketching is faster than taking photos、A story about when I was full of confidence.。From early morning until dusk、Draw the front, back, left and right from one place、Draw while walking or running、Traveling by car and immersing yourself in sketches。The memory of this time is still vivid。I was young、It was fun。I don't even think about running now。

The quality of the pen、After all、The strength of the solid lines。Soft like a pencil、Although I can't expect delicacy,、It has the purity of being a one-off, like the chisel marks on a sculpture.。Once I put pen to paper、can't be erased。I feel that this is also connected to the “cleanliness” of the pen.。(For those who think that "cannot be erased" is a drawback,、(We also sell "erasable pens")。the softness of a pencil、strength of pen。It is interesting that they cannot coexist together in one picture.。

"Absent" Watercolor F4

A pomegranate on the sketchbook、A scene that looks like it's waiting for me to come home...。Because it's a small size picture、I usually don't make any studies and just go for it one shot.、in this case、Request that the background is messy and needs to be organized、最近ペンがまた面白くなってきたせいもあって迷わずエスキース(習作)を作ってみることにした

結果はそれが正解だったようだほぼ黒の明暗だけのシンプルな背景になった

         「元荒川風景」   水彩

上の写真は東京へ絵を運ぶ時にいつも通る国道4号線にかかる橋からの車窓風景絵になる場所だなと直感するが車を降りて取材したことはないあらためて取材に出かけたらきっと収穫があると思いつつその時が過ぎると次の機会まで思い出すこともなかった

取り立てて「ここが良い!」と強調するようなところがないのがいいのかもしれない「穏やかな日常」の表現に適当な場所、I guess that's what。世界は至るところ戦火がひろがっているし日本の中も災害やSNSなどを使った詐欺事件などで気持ちが落ち着かない「絵になる場所」と思った時から10年は経ったかもしれない今になってこういう風景を描くのもあながち年のせいとばかりも言えない気がする
