Beauty with “something missing”

I often hear that、Sketching (on-site) is the best、The more I studied, the worse it got.、The final completed work is the least interesting.、That's the story。half of it is true。Sketching takes the least amount of time、The completed work usually takes the longest time.。Taking time doesn't necessarily mean that something good will come out.。

why、limited time、A sketch drawn in space、Well planned、Is there anything more appealing than a work that was created using the necessary materials and a lot of time?。

in my sense、This includes intuitive reactions on site.、Isn't it "unfinished power"?、It is a sport that is firmly connected to the essence of current sports.。I don't know if "unfinished music" is attractive or not.、It can be a painting or a sculpture.。only half drawn、Or a picture that is only partially painted.、It's emitting an indescribable light、I'm sure many people have experienced this as well.。So is sculpture.。Michelangelo's rough-hewn slave statue、Enku Buddha、It's a little different from unfinished.、Venus de Milo “missing both arms”。“There is something missing” itself is the source of this.。Or maybe that “lack” is beautiful?。

On the other hand, there is also an "excessive charm".。For example, "baroque"。For example, “Peeling Beauty” (past its prime)。"The Tale of Genji"、Pictures from the existing picture scrolls, etc.。Baroque lacks "moderation"、(Existing) The Tale of Genji picture scroll lacks “power”。I believe that Muneyoshi Yanagi, who was an advocate of the Japanese folk art movement,、``The missing piece of the teacup、I feel like he was saying, ``There are things more beautiful than a neat finished work.''。
 

First snow-2

"First snow (distant view of Mt. Nasu)" Watercolor F6

Same motif as the day before yesterday。This time, I dared to include the standard “road”.。After all, the composition is ordinary.。Changing the cedar forest to a broad-leaved forest、In addition, I tried to omit the colors as much as possible (especially for close-up scenes), so、Curling seems to be called "chess on ice"、It may look like it snowed during the cherry blossom season (this could be useful when drawing cherry blossoms!)。The white parts are unpainted parts of the paper。

For now、I am continuing to create watercolors in order to practice uploading them to YouTube.、A series of pictures that don't really look like me、I'm feeling a little frustrated。Even this is quite different from the photo.、As expected, it's quite far from "doing whatever you want".。Although、There's no need to dislike drawing itself.、As the number of sheets increases、I guess I'm gradually getting used to watercolors.、I also look forward to making small technical discoveries every time.。

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。
