devil's whisper

Still life with yellow wine bottle(watercolor)

7A video of the process of this painting that I uploaded to my blog on the 7th of May.、Uploaded to YouTube (Blue Seagull Painting Class) yesterday (7/21)。It took me 3 weeks to edit (of which I couldn't do anything for over 1 week)。It actually takes more time to narrate after image editing is complete.。Wouldn't it be better without bad narration?、While asking myself this every time。

Apparently, “the shorter the video, the better.”。I heard that 40 seconds or less is becoming the norm.。In sports, dance, etc.、40If you have seconds, you can certainly tell a decent amount of battle.。Sumo tournament in Nagoya is being held amid the spread of coronavirus.、For those who only want to see sumo results, just one second of the win/loss list is fine.、Watch the video for a digest of our efforts.、You can watch the entire Makuuchi program in a few minutes, which would take two hours if it were a live show.。

However, I think about what can be conveyed through something like a painting.。There is no need to make a video in the first place if you just want to see the finished product.。動画にする意味は、First of all, only for those who are interested in the process.。When you think about how many people like that there are、Am I spending a huge amount of time doing something that is almost meaningless?、I'm stuck in such gloomy thoughts。

The devil's whisper of "40 seconds"。Is it better not to ask?、Or are you glad you asked?。in this heat、I feel like my heart is getting colder。

sketching class

In a sketch lecture at the university

I finished my university classes yesterday (7/16).。It also means that it is the last day of classes for this spring semester.、for me、This was also my last class at university.。Preparations for online classes have already been made.、Syllabus (class outline)、Rewrite the curriculum (schedule)、I decided to take face-to-face classes.。

18with young students、I wanted to learn how to sketch through dialogue, but it didn't work out the way I had hoped.。One reason is that there were 26 participants at the beginning.。I'm glad that so many students are interested in the subject.、It's a bit too much to proceed with dialogue with each person.。In the second half、Through outdoor sketching, which is also the purpose of the subject.、I was hoping that I would be able to have a dialogue while feeling each person's sensibilities.、3One of the scheduled times will rain.、2It was unusually hot、Change outdoor sketch to indoor。Classes such as sketching、I think it would be ideal to do it outdoors, relaxing and drinking tea.、Heatstroke prevention measures have become the focus.、I can no longer create that kind of atmosphere.。

I can't help but worry about the weather.、I'm definitely thinking of alternatives, though.、After all, nothing beats the feeling of freedom outdoors.。And、I was also quite tired from the heat that had continued since before that.。It's a shame though、Some of us will probably have the opportunity to sketch at some point in our lives.。At that time, I decided to think that it would be of some help.。

sleep fatigue

Wine bottles, glasses, etc. (watercolor)

I don't know if there is a word called "sleep fatigue".、My first feeling in the morning is feeling tired.。in my case、Enough sleep time、The depth of sleep is about 1 hour at the longest.。Oh dear、Rather than normal、In today's world where it is said that there are many people who sleep poorly,、In fact, I might fall into the category of sleeping too much.。Still、Refresh and feel refreshed、I'll do it again today、I'm far from feeling that way。

Recently、My son gave me a kind of health system in the form of a wristwatch (it's also a clock, of course).。If you sleep with this on, the depth and length of your sleep will be recorded based on your heart rate.。Sometimes the data and my mood match.、Sometimes there is a big difference。

Sleep is a lifestyle habit。Improvements cannot be made overnight.。But、By leaving your consciousness in the back of your mind、I think you can gradually create a better sleeping environment.、I have already started。However, sometimes it's 2 a.m.、3Sometimes you have to do things till then.、Even if I go to bed early, I can't sleep at all、It often happens in the end。We must take such things seriously。Don't let your hasty efforts have the opposite effect。

There are many things surrounding the picture.。Recently, rather、What was once thought to be “peripheral” may be more essential.、I sometimes think that。I don't draw while drinking alcohol, but、Let's have a drink after I finish drawing this.、I draw with excitement, such as、I’m sure it’s “effective” for sleep too.。
