Try drawing a backlit figure in grisaille。What is grisaille?、One of the classic oil painting techniques、First, I drew it in black and white to give it a three-dimensional effect.、Then use transparent paint、How to draw by layering on top of the previous shading。Basically, it is a technique that takes advantage of the properties of oil painting.、Even if I try to apply it to watercolor、There are some things that are impossible in principle.。(For details on Grisaille, see this blog on August 15th.、22Please see the day)

In watercolor grisaille (I'm not sure if I can call it that)、On the other hand, it can be said that it is a drawing method that is difficult to fail.、Can be changed midway、More difficult than the normal drawing method。And、To start drawing in gray first、Lightly unique to watercolor、Losing the ever-changing world of color、It becomes a technique that uses the basic handicap as a starting point.。Commonly used cheap paper is difficult to use.。

But、those are technical issues、This is not a problem as a painting.。In painting, you don't care about materials or techniques.、All that matters is what kind of mental image it gives to the viewer or artist.。

Paintings are something to look at, but、Before we know it, we have begun to ``read'' paintings.。If you have prior knowledge、I guess it's because I feel like I can "understand paintings more deeply."。
The historical meaning of what is depicted、Even if you don't know anything about the technique、People say, ``This color is beautiful'' or ``It's amazing how clear the line is.''、How to feel rather than how to see、I think you should value it more。When you bite into an apple with the skin on、I don't want to lose the moment when I feel my teeth breaking through the skin and the juice dripping.、Because I think。

Grisaille is one of the classic oil painting techniques.、Create a three-dimensional effect with light and dark using a single gray color、After that, apply transparent colors、A technique that creates a sense of depth and solidity.。Thick coating after Velasquez、Before opaque technique、Broadly speaking, it can be said to be a technique that was commonly used until the Renaissance.。

Let's apply it to watercolor painting、That's why I drew it。I have already done this challenge many times.、I know the result、I tried making it again for YouTube.。

as you can see、Suitable for realistic expression。There is some debate as to whether expressions like Van Eyck's can be called "realistic" or not.、Generally known as a synonym for “realistic expression”。This is a method suitable for such expressions.。
But、When applying it to watercolor、Benefits of the technique itself、The disadvantages are more significant than those of oil painting.。One is grisaille (French)。The literal translation is "gray oil") itself.、Having the contradiction of interfering with the color development of watercolor paintings。The other is、Gray may start to melt again.、This person is building his "own" snowboard "road"。Because these two points are major disadvantages,、I can't recommend this technique enough.。The advantage is that it lends itself to realistic expression.。

Recently, not only acrylic、Apparently the word grisaille is also used in CG.。Mostly、It seems that it is only used to mean sketching in gray.、Oh dear、The disadvantages may be smaller than with oil painting.。

This is a picture I drew with the theme of "devising backgrounds (for portraits)"。

The background is a little more elaborate than usual。The actual production time took two days.。To be honest、I'm doing things that don't need to be done。Oh dear、It's an information service、I was drawing while keeping in mind the phrase, "As time goes on, as time goes on."。

I was concerned about the quality of the paper.。Because we use acrylic together、I thought it didn't have to be particularly high-quality paper.、This was not good。What is high-quality paper?、Eliminate unnecessary effort、He makes his work look better than his actual ability.。Everyone gets frustrated when things don't go their way.、Good paper not only eliminates that frustration.、gradually get better、There is such a place.。

Paper prices have skyrocketed recently.。amidst this high price、I think there are many people who want to save money on their hobbies.。use good paper、We live in a world where it is not easy to say。
