Big tree

"Lin" Watercolor

I drew the trees because they're so funny。The branches come from a higher place、I wonder if it will be in the screen at this size.、That would look like a goat's leg or something、Lower the branch position、I also tried to increase the number of books。

It feels like hydrangeas are blooming in the shade of the trees.、In fact, there was a plain landscape with nothing going on.。I decided to cover the background with hydrangeas.。Tall、it's a big tree。My back hurts、It hurts to bend back、I no longer look up at the treetops。It's soothing to hear the sound of the wind blowing through the treetops.。

A faint breeze above the embankment

The Edogawa River was excavated during the Edo period to direct the main stream of the Tone River toward Choshi (Chiba Prefecture).、It is a semi-artificial waterway.
The embankment is overflowing with mustard greens.。I used to be taller、It felt like going through a wall
Sekijuku Castle

The weather was nice yesterday (Sunday)、I went to a nearby park to preview the sketch.。I decided to take a look at Edogawa for the first time in a while.、I tried cycling for a while。

There is a light breeze above the so-called super embankment.。You can even see Kasukabe and Noda downstream.。It's a slightly cloudy day, so there's not much sunlight.。What's more, it's a rare hat、There are also sunglasses。If you crane your neck a little, you can see Sekijuku Castle.。
 Only after that、So。Is it because of the ease and not the destination?、It was relatively easy to get there (3.3km one way from the park)。(It's about 9km from my home)。There were a surprising number of people, including families.。

It's difficult to draw cherry blossoms

"Landscape with cherry blossoms" watercolor

The Japanese people’s “passion” for cherry blossoms is “super” special.。This kind of "abnormality" is perceived as normal by ordinary Japanese people (including myself).、The starting point of this abnormality may be the "elementary school cherry blossoms"、I think that's what many people have said.。as far as I know、I have never seen a school without cherry blossoms in the schoolyard.。Even if there is something like a "digital elementary school" that does not exist in real space,、There must be a cherry blossom somewhere on the screen.、I even think。
Furthermore, the timing of flowers。Many major events in childhood often involve school.。Among them, admission、Graduation gives children a special meaning as well.。There are always cherry blossoms in the background。The Great East Japan Earthquake occurred in March.。Cherry blossoms in full bloom immediately after the earthquake、Because of its freshness, it brought tears to many Japanese people rather than joy.。Cherry blossoms are not just flowers、It is also a symbol with deep feelings.。That's what、Making it even more difficult to draw cherry blossoms as objects。

In that sense、Almost 100% of people、I seem to remember drawing (or being forced to draw) cherry blossoms once.。And more than 90% of them、How should I draw it (other than just painting it pink)?、You must have had a troubled experience。The same complex I felt when I was in elementary school has remained with me forever.、I still can't resolve it。Besides,、As a landscape, it is too ordinary and it is difficult to find a new perspective.。Compared to my love for cherry blossoms、There are rather few pictures of cherry blossoms in public exhibitions.、I think that's probably the reason。
