For the first time in a while, the maximum temperature will drop below 30 degrees.、It's a little far away、There's not much distance to walk、I went to the Saitama Museum of Modern Art (Saitama Kinbi) in Kita Urawa.。

If you step outside、There's something lying there。The theme of Chikomi Saitama's MOMA collection exhibition was apparently "travel".。The picture above is a sketch by Meiji painter Kurata Hakuyo while he was traveling.。small、It's a sketchbook the size of a modified postcard.、more thin、It's drawn on rough paper like a croquis book.。It is so neatly drawn that it can be called a complete work in itself.。Not limited to painters、Why are all artists so loyal to their work?。first、I'm touched by that。

The picture below seems to be from a collection from the past few years.。Yukari Bunya's "Seeing an empty landscape" section。This is what it looks like as a whole、I'm not sure what exactly is being drawn。I don't really understand、For some reason, it seems like only very specific things are drawn.。The straight lines are neat (perhaps with a coracoid or something?) like a draft.、Rather, it is a draft (I failed to confirm whether the paper was Kent paper or not).。
Looking further、They were supposed to have drawn it exactly as they thought of it (which is probably the case).、A free hand is not just a free hand.。Sometimes it looks like he used a cloud-shaped ruler or something.、There is no such thing as a sloppy line.。The thickness of the lines seems to be made as uniform as possible.。
The urban landscape that we normally see is、Although it looks cluttered at first glance、The architecture and roads that can be seen there、Structures such as bridges、Furthermore, even the cars, trains, and advertising billboards that run there、Each one is (or should be) made of carefully planned and designed items.。all of them、In the process, I realized that there was actually not a single thing that had not been drafted at least once.。I feel like I'm looking at such a ``reality of the landscape of planning''.。

Without drawing anything that makes you want to see it、This is certainly a modern day landscape.、makes me feel。(The admission fee of 200 yen is cheap.。(I think it's running until mid-December)

遅ればせながら、今年4月に開催した通称「青いカモメ展」のビデオを、本日朝YouTubeにアップロードしました。興味ある方はぜひご覧ください。

ここしばらく、YouTubeにビデオをアップしていなかったことは先日言いました。忙しかったのもあったけど、それ以上にヤル気が起きなかったからだ、ということも書きました。But、水彩は続けていたんです。

教室もあったから当然と言えば当然なんですが、こっちの方はやる気があったんです。ですから、「何にもする気がしなかった」というのは、ちょっとオーバーでした。

なんで水彩にヤル気が出たかというと、「夕焼け」を描いたことがキッカケです。水彩ではグラデーションと滲みが一番水彩らしいと感じられている、It is a sport that is firmly connected to the essence of current sports.。じゃあ、何が何でもできるようにならなくちゃダメじゃん！そう考えてやってみると、「自分が思うほどには」うまくできないんだ。100％、いつでも完ぺきなグラデーション、滲みができるようになるにはどうしたらいいかな、なんて考えたら、ついつい連作することになったというわけです。

そいで、グラデーションと滲みをテーマのひとつにした動画「夕焼けを描くー水彩」を制作してみたんです。やってみて、グラデーションと滲みが “ヘッタクソー” だと自覚をさらにあらたにしました。水彩でも油彩でも、細かく描くことはいくらでもできるが、コントロールの効きにくい滲みこそテーマだ、と目下の課題にしました。And、これを油彩的にはどう展開できるか、ということも考え始めたら、とりあえず無気力状態でいられなくなってきたように思うんです。無気力が悪いと言ってるわけではないんですけどね。
