Anemone、rose、dahlia

“Study of a Rose” Watercolor on Watson paper

People who consider roses to be the "queen of flowers"、It seems to be more common among European and American people (peony in Japan? I feel like cherry blossoms have a slightly different meaning)。Is that why?、Anyway, the speed of development of new varieties is fast.、Colors and shapes keep changing。At the same time, the image of roses for those who admire them also changes.。

I don't know what types of roses will be popular this year (2026).、This is a relatively recent、A type of rose similar to ranunculus。Ranunculus is a species related to anemone.、At first I thought it was a commercial variety of anemone.。

Anemone is my favorite flower.、I drew it every spring.、Ranunculus has an extremely large number of petals.、It was a flower that felt quite burdensome to draw.。That's why、This type of rose was also a hassle.。

But、As you can see, it has a soft (fluffy) gradation.、With a gentle shape without edges、This is the type of flower that seems to appeal to modern people's sensibilities.。actual、It was explosively popular for a while.。It seems like the stream has cooled down a bit.、As I have been drawing roses for the past few days,、Shall I try drawing it?、I felt like。If you draw a few、I felt like there were some tips on how to draw.。If you can draw this, you will be able to draw ``Dahlia'' as well.、Maybe。

Better than rejecting it

Added to a study that had been neglected for a long time、ended it。I'm not satisfied though、Because good ideas don't come out、Well, I guess it's like this。It's better than just scrapping it.。

Unless there is a need to hurry、The end of everything is important、I think these days。In the past, it was common to keep drawing、It's because new ideas are being born all the time.、I didn't want to take the trouble of finishing old ideas one by one.、I think so。Lately, even if I hit my head from the right side,、Even if I pull from the left side, no ideas come out.。

Ideas run out、It may also be due to brain aging.、Above all, the amount of input for everything、Because the density has decreased、I think so。That there is a lack of information。In this day and age, there is a lack of information.、Don't think that。
A good antenna is necessary to obtain meaningful information.。and it must be constantly updated、Valuable information is missed。Newer information is not necessarily better, but、It is important to keep in touch、It is often said that it is probably true.。In other words、The antenna and output equipment remain outdated.。

Updating the antenna requires “energy” above all else.、I feel that。When you're young, you have "physical strength"、like air and water、antenna through the body、It was updated “without permission” so to speak.。getting older、When I run out of physical strength、If you don't consciously try to update it, it will harden quickly.、It gets rusty。It takes energy to realize this、That's why。
Every time I finish drawing a picture、 Although there are some “disappointments”、You can also find issues that make you think, “Let’s try this next time.”。It brings back your energy - better than giving up - why。
