draw water droplets

Waterdrops on grapes (watercolor, in progress)

I drew a Muscat the other day。I thought it would be easy because it was a single color, but I was naive.。I was sure that I was well aware that ``the simpler things seem, the more difficult they are.''、I just looked at it lightly。This sketch takes advantage of that reflection.、The theme was "water drops"。

The simpler things are, the more difficult they are.、For example, drawing a potato、It's more difficult than drawing a mandarin orange.、Drawing a tangerine is more difficult than drawing a chestnut.。There aren't many people who can't tell the difference between a potato and a mud pot.、It is extremely difficult to depict something in a way that makes it recognizable the moment you see it.。Mandarin oranges are not just yellow circles.。Common whelks on the seashore、Compared to turban shells, which have complex spines.、It has no characteristics、It's difficult。

It's not just a picture。For example, a novel、It's better to draw a very ordinary person around that area.、I often hear that it is more difficult than writing biographies of great people.。I imagine that it would be difficult to turn street noise into music in that sense.。

Back to the topic、A picture is not something that can be understood simply by looking at it.。It doesn't necessarily have to be drawn accurately.。It's not just about being good at it.。A good painting is one that ignites something in the heart of the viewer.、I think。From draft to completion、The author does not know at what stage the ``ignition'' occurs.。The sketch is the best、Some pictures get worse the more you draw them、Actually there are many。This picture is also here、Which stage is best?、And、Can you stop it yourself?。That area、It's the difference between whether you have the ability or not.。

chestnut

Chestnut study (pen/watercolor)

for the ancient Japanese、Chestnuts were a luxury ingredient。Although famous brands such as Tamba chestnuts are still considered high-class ingredients,、Apparently all chestnuts were valuable in ancient times.。

Even now、What percentage of the population can go to the mountains and pick chestnuts?。Thanks to the distribution economy、If you have the money, you can get it by courier even if you are asleep.、I'm not trying to talk about that dimension.。

Chestnuts were a much more useful plant than acorns.。Similar to chestnuts、There are also different types of acorns.、The most common one is probably the acorn of the shiitake tree.。north tohoku、It is a species that can be found fairly easily in fields and mountains all over Japan except Hokkaido.。Among acorns, oaks with large fruit are considered high-class.。But、To make acorns edible, remove the strong scum.、It takes a lot of effort。
Chestnuts are、bigger than any of those acorns、There is almost no need to remove the scum, and the nutritional value is exceptionally high.。And the tree has become a big tree、Very useful as a building material。that's why、Chestnut trees were planted as much as possible around the ancient settlement.、Seems to be。by the way、The current location of the Sannai Maruyama ruins was where I played almost every day for three years.、I haven't been there since the excavation.。One of my must-go places。

Incidentally、There is a Western sweet called marron glacé (I haven't had it in a while).。There is an image that marron = chestnut.、Actually, “maron” is not a chestnut.。Maron is the fruit of the horse chestnut tree、Marronnier is “chestnut tree”。Tochimochi in Japan、It is used in tochi soba etc.、Not treated in the same way as chestnuts。The dawn of modern Japan、Most of the Japanese people who gathered in Paris、Only high class people、I have no experience of collecting native chestnuts in the fields and mountains of Japan.、I imagine that most of them couldn't tell the difference between a chestnut and a horse chestnut.。
When I see chestnuts、I always think like that。

Governor Saito of Hyogo Prefecture and the Meiji Restoration

Muscat (watercolor)

Regarding Hyogo Prefecture Governor Saito's power harassment、The media too、It seems that girls' night out is also popular.。Then, Ishin asked the governor to submit a letter of resignation.、There were reports (NHK etc.)。

Aren't you an idiot?、I'm amazed。Both the Meiji Restoration and the media、is。The decision on whether or not power harassment actually occurred will be left to the responsible agency.、The first thing you need to check is、The reason the governor is governor is because the citizens of the prefecture voted for him.。The progress and retreat of the governor、It should be judged by the citizens of the prefecture who voted.、No matter how the governor came from the Meiji Restoration,、It is not something that should be done with the intention of the Meiji Restoration.。Simply、It is clear that there is a plan to have a negative effect on the next expected House of Representatives election.、It's a shallow and stupid pose.。
at the same time、Pressure from the media to resign、Isn't this exactly social power harassment?、It is a sport that is firmly connected to the essence of current sports.。I don't think this is the way news should be reported at all.、NHK Beginning、Only I am right、What we often have to watch as people guide public opinion is、As a citizen who has lost a genuine news organization, I feel sorry for him.、I even feel embarrassed。

What the Restoration should do、Regarding the scandal (if you think so) of the governor that they supported、Rather than requesting resignation from above,、First of all, I would like to apologize to the citizens of the prefecture who voted.。How dare you demand his resignation without respecting the citizens of the prefecture who voted for him?、It almost feels like an insult to the citizens of the prefecture.。This is the extent of the Meiji Restoration.、Isn't that what he himself is proclaiming?。

What I hope for Governor Saito、did not resign、running away、Drain as much pus as possible。own pus、Inside the office、The pus of the Meiji Restoration too、The puss of the media too。Although the words are bad、I want them to become victims for future politics.。ordinary people can't do it、Because he is a special person、Being asked to play dirty、It might be more meaningful than the temporary prefectural government.、I just think。fortunately、The governor appears to have rejected demands for his resignation.。
