I uploaded a sketch video ↓

The fishing port sketch was taken while driving from Nojimazaki, the southernmost tip of Chiba Prefecture, to Kujukuri.。divided into several times、I've been sketching for days。Referring to that、I tried drawing it again。I think the location was around Wada.。

I think it was in the evening。I guess it was time for the sun to set soon.。I don't want to express that sense of time in the video (because the picture becomes dark)、screen based、I made a color-oriented sketch。

figure painting

Repin "Ivan the Terrible" (from the public domain)

When I think of ``figure painting,'' I immediately think of ``portrait.''、Landscapes and paintings with multiple people in a room can also be included in "portraits".。For example, Picasso's portrait paintings from his Blue and Blue period.、Those of the rosy era, etc.、At least it's not a portrait、The theme is also "human"。

resemble、Although it doesn't look like it, it may not be essential.。This is also the national treasure ``Statue of Gen Gen Yoritomo'', which is said to have been painted by Takanobu Fujiwara.、It is impossible to determine whether or not they resemble the person in question.、The same goes for "Portrait of Christ."。But、On the other hand, there are also things like Tamako Kataoka's ``Ihara Saikaku Statue'' that use imagination.。Not just pictures、The same goes for sculpture.。Although that is true、Well, generally speaking, a portrait "resembles the person"、Would it be possible to say that a portrait painting is ``the subject of a human being in the painting''?。

by the way、There is also a genre called "history painting" (not so common in Japan, but rather the main one in Western Europe).。Because humans create history、Most of what is called history painting is ``figure painting.''。many people know、An example of this is a painting of Napoleon astride a horse, raising his right hand and pointing, ``Cross the Alps!''。By the way、I like Russian painter Repin's ``Ivan the Terrible'' as historical paintings (photo above)。
I was careless, but、There is also a category called “self-portraits”。Let's remember Rembrandt's name here.。Even if I forget the picture。

It doesn't matter whether you like portraiture or not.、There should be no one who is not interested.。According to the research of many scholars、Humans have apparently evolved their brains to look closely at people's faces.。A “human face” that conveys emotions and even various thoughts with a single subtle expression。Even in the classroom, everyone is struggling with production.、That's how difficult it is to deceive (even for the author himself)、This probably means that a high level of expressive technique is required.。"Landscape" and "human beings" are two major themes of art.。No matter how you think about it, in the end you have no choice but to be involved in these two things.。It's too late though、I think I'll try to approach this topic a little more honestly.。

Cospa (cost performance)

YouTube "Blue Seagull Painting Class" video - "How to use felt-tip pens"

"Cospa" is already "Japanese"。Doesn't work anywhere outside of Japan、And it's also commonly used in the media.、It can only be called "pure" Japanese.。Oh dear、I don't care about that、In other words, "emphasis on efficiency"。

It seems that the number of people watching YouTube at "double speed" is rapidly increasing recently.。Not just YouTube、News too、What a study、up to education。It is true that news etc. have low value per hour.、Sometimes I even wish it was 4x faster, let alone 2x faster.。In terms of studying, education, and gaining knowledge,、If you can do it at double speed、Maybe there's nothing better than that。

However、Knowing something and being able to experience it are two completely different things.。Whether it's tea or alcohol、Do not explain the brand or anything in too much detail.、Sometimes it interferes with the taste.。I love only one brand of coffee、For those who enjoy their time thoroughly、Is this the origin of other brands?、It doesn't matter if it's a trend、I don't know if people who have knowledge about coffee can enjoy it more deeply.。Studying and education are all about expanding your worldview.、It's meant to deepen、It should be (or was) another thing to receive praise for that.。but、By the time you can understand the taste、After all, it takes time and money (even if it's not a lot of money)。
but、It seems that education and knowledge are being confused.、Educated person = knowledgeable person = intellectual = good! It seems that the number is increasing (!)。If that's what you mean、I think I can understand the importance of acquiring knowledge at double speed.。most、Educated people are often also knowledgeable.、Although it cannot be said that it is a ``confusion'' in general.。

No one would believe me if I said, ``You can understand everything about art in 15 minutes.''、Let's narrow it down a bit and say, "You can understand everything about jazz in 15 minutes."、(Those who are well-educated in jazz probably won't be surprised by this, but for someone like me who doesn't have a background in music, it might not necessarily make them want to take a look.)。“Cospa” in time and money、sometimes hundreds、This is because I feel like it would be a few thousandths of a second.。
My video on YouTube “How to use felt-tip pens”。"8 minutes 17 seconds"、If you can draw anything with a felt-tip pen, it's cost-effective! But、If they could paint like that, all painters would have gone out of business long ago.。By the way、The video explains how to use it (my way).、I'm not saying that anyone can draw the same way just by looking at it.。
