It's a variety called Annabelle.。As big as an adult's headThere's a cool breeze in the shade of the trees
Sunday、Hydrangea Festival being held at Gongendo, Satte City (until June 25th)。I think the flowers are still blooming even after the period has passed.。It was quite hot at 31 degrees Celsius.、Quite a lot of people came to see it。
At events like this, I always go for the people rather than the flowers.。While observing people、Enjoy imagining the story of a stranger.。Your image may expand from the words you hear as you pass by each other.、There is still。A momentary drama that came to mind、I usually forget it right away、There are times when I think I should try writing it down a bit.。 Or a collection of faces。however、I don't take pictures of your face。I'll keep it only in my memory。I think observing faces and expressions is a big plus when drawing portraits.。Since Corona、Masks are very inconvenient for collection。
Originally, the main purpose was to find a composition that would make a picture.、Halfway through, my back started to get tired.、100I took a few photos and went home.。10At least some of them can be used if you crop them (for example, the photo below seems like it could be used for some scene)。Oh dear、Let's just pretend that we got some good results just by going out in the heat.。
Start drawing。There is no guarantee that the finished product will be better than this."Early Summer" watercolor on Fabriano (100% cotton) paper
Yesterday (Saturday June 24th) morning、A mikoshi came out from the shrine across from the atelier.、I went around the small town。The harbinger of a light car carrying taiko drummers、After a quick trip early in the morning、Young people carry the burden with great vigor.。I feel like I'm hearing this year's shout for the first time.、That's what I thought、Maybe the faces of the people carrying it are different.。Tradition is good too、Something is changing little by little、I think that's a good thing too。
This is an arrangement of "Landscape with a parking lot"。A little ingenuity in how to wear masking、I tried rubbing some parts with a brush.。The effect is slightly visible。
The colors may be a little dull because it's made from 100% cotton paper.、It seems like it's partly because I've caught a cold.。"I have a cold" means、"Paper is weathered = it has deteriorated due to exposure to moisture"、This is a word often used by people who paint watercolors.。It's not even an old sketchbook.、I was careful about where I placed it.。 Whether the paper has a cold or not、Before you draw it, you can't really tell by looking at it.。But、The moment you put down your brush? ? I feel that、After applying the paint、It will be clearly visible to everyone。Even if I try to return it、Tear the individual packaging of the sketchbook、draw a sketch、Because I left the color behind.、Can't do that anymore? Because I have given up、I have never complained to the manufacturer (sales company).。But、This is originally a quality control issue on the part of the manufacturer or retailer.、It's not the writer's mistake.、I think it should be improved in a way that makes sense.。Writers disliked him for “catching a cold”、Two global manufacturers have gone bankrupt.，There seem to be 3。 I got off topic.。What I wanted to draw in this picture was a car.。It's not about attachment to a particular car model.、He wanted to incorporate "the current car society" into the landscape.。Nowadays, the global environment is becoming more and more severe every year.。It is said that CO2 emitters such as cars may eventually disappear.、I thought I'd draw it from a somewhat documentary perspective.。I don't think cars will disappear for a while yet.。
The theme of the painting is the atmosphere of "early summer".。The car is just a sight。I think it would be nice if you could feel the refreshing breeze in the painting.。
from spring to summer、This delicate time of the rainy season、How are you all doing? activities are restricted、Not feeling well, etc.、Many people say that rain is depressing.、I don't hate rain。somehow calm down、Is it because I feel like I can spend the day at my own pace?。
For some reason, on rainy days I end up doing things like organizing photos.。The other day, I was organizing the photos on my computer.、A plethora of photos and production data of works such as ``The Flying Man'' have emerged.。 Should we call it the ``Otoko Series''? ``Flying Man'', ``Floating Man'', ``Shelter Man'', etc.、I have drawn many works titled "○○ Man"。In the process, series such as ``Boy and Dog'', ``Strait'', ``Icarus'', and ``Venus of ___'' were also created.。 "Apple" which is currently in progress is also about to become a series.、Actually, this was made into a series once at the very beginning.、It has continued for nearly 50 years after being discontinued.。Psychologically, I feel like I'm always connected to the "Otoko Series".、how is it connected、I can't organize it properly myself.。This is your last chance for a few years from now.、I need to put these together in some form while I'm still healthy.、I realized once again that I don't have time anymore.。
Let me explain a little bit about the title "Icarus".。to greek mythology、Daedalus, the carpenter of the sky, to his son Icarus、There is a story that he was given wings on his back that allowed him to fly freely in the sky.。My father warned me, ``Never go near the sun.''、The young and active Icarus has horse-eared east winds.。In the end, the wax on Icarus's wings melted as he got too close to the sun and fell off.、Icarus falls into the sea and the story ends.、My idea started from there.。 Is Icarus dead? I was born into a family of carpenters just like you.、Pulling Icarus out of the sea in the 21st century、I recreated the wings in my imagination (come to think of it, I also drew a piece called “Our Wings (No. 200)”)、If he could fly again, what kind of landscape would he see in his mind?、I thought I'd try to make a picture of it。That is "The Flying Man"。 The ``Flying Man,'' or modern Icarus, was created for the first time in about 3,000 years through several works in the ``New Life'' series (``New Life No. 9'' was a large work measuring 2.1 x 5.4 meters).、shed skin、reincarnation、19He has already flown over the century-old city (“Flying Man” (No. 200)) Solo exhibition in Omiya City、(Presented at the Chenshunkai Exhibition, etc.)。The next time I was drawing Icarus flying over a 20th century city.、The Great East Japan Earthquake occurred、I couldn't continue drawing。 A picture about the size of issue 1000、A great flood in the sky poured into the cities below.、I had just drawn over 300 people drowning in it.。There is a difference between a flood and a tsunami.、A picture exactly like the Great East Japan Earthquake.、Even if I finish this picture、I feel like people will just think that I drew this after watching footage of the earthquake.、Is it okay to draw pictures during this period?、It was also because we had the same idea that、This was also because I physically lost the time and space to create.。描きかけの絵は丸めてほぞんしてあるかどうかも今は定かではありませんが、制作中の写真が数枚パソコンの中にはあるはずです。
