Setsubun、beginning of spring

"Pink Flower" Watercolor + Acrylic F8

Today is setsubun。It's been a while since a model came to visit me.、painted a portrait。The people in the classroom also seemed to be out of sorts because it had been a while.。me a few days ago、I've been practicing a bit、I was able to get the shape for now.。I draw with the hope that one day it will become a work of art.。

Here are some points、Adding touches with acrylic paint to unfinished watercolor drawings。If you hit the right spot, watercolor can be abbreviated.、It's a cool contrast to the carefully painted oil paintings.、I try to push hard, but there are many cases where nothing happens after that.。In that respect, the chance of failure with watercolor is much higher than with oil.。Just to the last、In my case。

At such times、It is very convenient to add on with acrylic.。Acrylic paint is a paint that allows you to do various tricks more easily than watercolor.。One of these days、Layering oil paint on top of acrylic paint、I'm thinking of creating a watercolor + oil painting.。Oil painting on paper is possible if you put acrylic paint in between.、I think I can deepen my expression even further.。

Tomorrow is the first day of spring。It seems like new hope will emerge。

What kind of pen is a “felt pen”?

1January 24 (Tuesday) 18；00I was careless about introducing the video I reserved and uploaded to。It's already been 2 weeks since it was uploaded。Things that are unthinkable for people who use YouTube as a business。

When I started YouTube, I posted a lot of sketches using felt-tip pens.。outdoors、A small sketchbook is perfect for one-handed sketching.。A pen is more convenient than a pencil for sketching while traveling (once you get used to it)。There are several types of pens、The most popular ballpoint pen。Ballpoint pens from a while back may have ink pools.、It seemed like it was only for text, so it couldn't handle tilts or speed, so it could only draw flat images.、Ballpoint pens have also evolved considerably.。

The felt pen、Compared to that, the number of people using it is probably less than a fraction of that.。Ordinary people almost never use it。Many people have never even heard the name.。When we think of pens, we all think of the type of pen that drips ink.、The felt pen、A type of pen that rubs ink soaked into cloth.、The image is similar to “magic ink” or “marker”。That image doesn't connect with the painting.。

There is almost no “rich feeling” of “plenty of ink”。``Feeling plenty'' paints a picture、Not limited to not drawing、many people like。The ink coming out of felt-tip pens looks poor in comparison.。In a sense, it may be natural that it is not popular.。
But、This "weakness" directly leads to "ease of use" when sketching.。suddenly dark、No surprises means fewer failures。And that "poor ink" is suitable for expressing perspective.。For example, a ballpoint pen、strongly、stable、in a monotonous line、It is difficult to express perspective using only lines, but、A felt-tip pen is handy.。This may be the greatest advantage of felt-tip pens.。please、get used to it、Become a sketching friend。

House of Representatives general election

“Impression of a riverside town” Watercolor + acrylic + oil pastel

"Polling place admission tickets" for "General election of members of the House of Representatives and national examination of judges of the Supreme Court" have arrived.。There's also an election survey on my answering machine.、Recorded messages from the election office are now included.。
Although the recent media has been calling it a "House of Representatives election"、Previously, the media also properly referred to it as the "House of Representatives election."。Probably because there are a lot of characters.、I think it is important to indicate exactly what you are choosing.。Because we don't choose the House of Representatives.。As expected from the Election Commission, as above.、It is clearly written。
By the voting day on February 8th、It has been reported that some areas are experiencing heavy snowfall, making it difficult to open polling stations in time.。

tv set、In the media, election coverage seems to be increasing day by day.、It's also exam season、Are public announcements made on city loudspeakers to a lesser extent?、elections are far away。

What's always more frustrating is、The year name (era name) notation on documents submitted to government offices, etc.。“Showa XX year?、How many years ago? "I graduated from △ high school in XX Heisei."、How many years ago? ” while looking at the appendix on the Oshimai page of the notebook.、I have to look it up on my smartphone。This time loss can never be taken lightly.。The historical significance should be respected as such.、Practical use should be unified to the Western calendar.。
There is a meaning for the government office.、Even if it is okay for the government to continue using this、I wish they would stop forcing this on ordinary people.。If there was a political party that would take this up, I would consider voting for it.。
