Draw "first snow"

"First snow (at Nasu)"
On-site photo

It seems that the first snow fell along the mountains in the Kanto region from last night to this morning.。Winter has finally arrived in this area.。I found a photo of Mt. Nasu (Mt. Chausu).、I drew it with the theme of the first snow.。In fact, I remember it being the first snow of the year as well.、not sure。

Below is a photo of the scene。pull the car to the side of the road、I thought it was taken from the driver's seat.、Apparently someone posted it、Apparently this was taken from the passenger seat as I was passing by.。It's certainly a halfway decent position for the composition of the photo (if I were to take the photo myself).。I decided to somehow make a picture of this.。

I can imagine the road even if it is not in the photo.、I dare not enter the road just in time.。The major change is the size and position of the "telephone pole"。Maybe I should reduce the size of the telephone pole.、I feel like the mountains seem bigger.、What do you think? (Actually、(Although it has been increased in proportion)。Add a part of the forest to the left (which actually exists)、Prevents your line of sight from straying to the left。

Reversing the brightness of the sky and snow。Emphasizing the whiteness of the snow。I think this clearly conveys that the theme is "first snow."。A reddish color was intentionally added to the foot of the mountain.、Expresses the feeling of the end of autumn。However、Draw the whole mountain a little lighter.、It would have been better to show a sense of distance.、I also feel。

I don't like dark scenery

Balloon festival (watercolor)

A look at last Saturday's balloon festival、I tried painting it in watercolor with some changes.。

At first glance, it seemed simple and easy, but、It's surprisingly difficult to draw。first、To darken the entire screen (while keeping it clear)、In other words, it is technically difficult to depict the feeling of night.。And、No matter how dark it is, a white balloon must look white.、The red balloon on the left must appear red.、How to use "brightness and color" etc.。

The bright light on the ground and the brightness of the burner may be difficult.、Although many people may imagine that、It's actually no big deal。Rather、Saturation of the red to blue color stripes in the central balloon、Representation of lines at the joints of balloons, etc.、Although simple, it requires a combination of the ability to discern colors and the ability to properly depict them.。It took 3 hours even though it was a small screen (F4)。

I think it would be much easier to paint this with oil paint.。subtle gradation control、Oil painting is much more streamlined than watercolor.。Another thing I thought of was、drawing with colored pencils on black paper。This also has restrictions、Oh dear、I feel like this would be easier to draw than watercolor as well.。
If you think about it、Especially for transparent watercolor, dissolve the paint thinly.、This is a technique that takes advantage of the whiteness of the underlying paper.、It's no surprise that I don't like dark landscapes.。That's why、This doesn't mean you can give up。If you draw it, you can do it、I also think。

Watarase Balloon Festival

For the wind、Only 8-9 aircraft will participate in the Illusion。But、Romantic

yesterday、In the afternoon, I went to the Watarase Balloon Festival, which is currently being held at Watarase Fusui Facility in Tochigi Prefecture.。About an hour by car。Driving along the edge of Watarase, which I hadn't been out for a while。I used to go to places quite frequently、The spacious scenery felt nostalgic。

Apparently it's a race for one of Japan's best balloonists (that's apparently those who ride balloons).。but、The wind is strong、Morning races are cancelled。When I arrive at the site、The cancellation of the afternoon race has also been announced.。Nothing to do until "Balloon Illusion" until 6pm。In the cold、I just stare at the wide sky and the dead grass。But、That alone is good enough。

The balloon race appears to be sponsored by Honda (Hot Air Balloon Honda Grand Prix)、There was also a car exhibition at the venue.。Because there's nothing else to do、I didn't want to buy it, but I spent some time looking inside the car (I couldn't buy it).。There are also three light cars、Of this, electric cars cost over 3.5 million yen.。It's amazing that everything except the driver's seat can be made flat (it doesn't require a rod).。Can be used as a fully bed-equipped interview vehicle、When I said that, "A Honda 125cc bike fits perfectly in this space."。There are also fixing brackets。As expected of Honda、The idea of ​​riding a motorcycle can only be said to be "like."。There's also a stall open、The delicious smell of kebab。They also sell sweet potato shochu.、Apparently there was a tasting, but I drove home too.。

It's getting dark、Did you hear that fireworks will be held as planned?、The number of cars is increasing。I wonder if most of the many large parking lots are full。It's getting cold、Most people are holding their smartphones intently to take pictures。Surprisingly there were a lot of people with children。
Today (15th)、There were also five races scheduled for the early morning (Sunday).、How was it。The weather forecast for Fujioka-cho, Tochigi city, was sunny.、Wind speed is 5 meters、I think it was possible to hold the event safely。It was cold but、I'm glad I was able to refresh my mood。
