Watercolor + pastel -2

“Still life with a small lamp” F6 watercolor + pastel 21Dec’19

In "Watercolor + Pastel", the pastel tends to stand out due to the saturation.。Moreover, the uneven texture is eye-catching.。I want to express this painting based on watercolor.、I tried to limit the use of pastels as much as possible.。

in watercolor and pastel、Pastel has higher saturation in terms of composition.。That is, it is bright and easily noticeable.。So a combination of these two、Conspicuous place、It can be said that it is more effective to use pastels in bright areas (watercolors can be used in dark areas).、(will be in charge of a large area)。But be careful。Don't stand out too much。Moderation is important.。

10in a row for about a point、I understand that the expression is more eye-catching than watercolor alone.。But、I'm getting a little tired of it。Rather than watercolor + pastel、It seems like I'm getting tired of this descriptive method of expression.。Do you feel "enough is enough" written on the table surface or in the shadow?

watercolor + pastel

"Winter/Afternoon" 2019 F10 Watercolor/Pastel

Painting with a combination of watercolor + pastel、A very recent attempt。The combination of watercolor and pastel itself is a very common method.、I didn't have many examples.。When I start again、Not only can you take advantage of the best parts of both techniques, but also、is 15 years since the Great East Japan Earthquake、It has become clear that the hurdles for both pastels are lower.。this is a very useful discovery。I would like to recommend it to many people。

What does it mean to have a lower hurdle?、For example, in the picture above、When drawing a person's face with watercolor、Assuming you are using pastels, it is enough to paint the face color with a reddish-black surface.。No need for delicate techniques like painting only with watercolors。Afterwards, add a strong contour line with storyboards、Pastel only colors that are lighter than the surface painted with watercolor、You can write with the intention of drawing light.。I don't like pastel dark colors.、I have them underpaint it with watercolor, so it's very easy to draw.。No need to have too many pastel colors、Kill two birds with one stone。

I guess the problem is the staying power of pastels.。If you try to fix it firmly with fixer、Bright pastel colors fade。It is better to keep it to a minimum。Oh dear、I thought that powdered paint would fall off.、I think it would be more fun to not worry too much about permanence.。

Apple-2

「Apple」 2019 F6 　Oil on canvas

My "Apple" first appeared in the late 1980s.、At least 30 years already、continues with interruptions。I feel like there's going to be a new series now.、What I would like to say around here is、 I don't want it to be converted to "Apple"。

I'm almost all year round、eat an apple after every dinner。“Apples, apples” are “real things” to me.、It's not just an image。Also、I don't usually call apples "Apple"。that's why、“Apple” as a work is to me、An image (abstract) as a form、It is not intended to depict real objects that are eaten or eaten.。"Apple" is called "Apple"、Completely different from apples、It's a different dimension、I want you to think that。

If you think so、This picture can be easily understood just by looking at it.。The overall shape is like an apple, but、If you look closely, you'll see a muscular man.、(It also looks like a cloak.、You may be able to see a picture of someone flying (“with wings” that also resembles a feather)。That is "Apple"。

Actually、Paintings with this kind of mechanism have been around the world since ancient times.、I also refer to them、I have tried many different things so far.。However, the recent "Apple" (in my own production) has a distinctly different mindset from previous ones.。What will happen from here on?、I'm also looking forward to it myself。
