Persimmons are often the subject of paintings.。Arts and crafts for elementary and junior high school students、From art classes to productions by amateur painters、With easily available art supplies、What's more, it comes with the added bonus of being able to finish it by eating it.。

But、What everyone draws、It's also that it's too common.。No matter how well you draw、That alone has no impact。Famous painters avoided persimmons that looked delicious and ripe.、I dared to draw a green persimmon。The Japanese painter Kokei Kobayashi's ``Green Persimmon'' is one of these masterpieces.。

Those who look closely at green persimmons、I don't think there are many people other than persimmon farmers and people who grow them as garden plants for their families.。for the general public、Persimmons are products that are sold at supermarkets.、Painters on the contrary、I have no interest in persimmons that have become (or have become) commercial products as a subject.、still untouched、This is especially true for “blue persimmons,” which have no commercial value.、I discovered the scent of naive art.。
on the other hand、"Ice cream" "Tempura" etc.、"Products" processed by human hands、Today's young people are instead viewing it head-on as a ``new subject.''。Not as commercial art、as pure art。When I first saw a work that had images of ``bento'' and ``ramen'' drawn all over the screen, I was shocked and wondered, ``Do I really want to draw something like this?''、Now even that is starting to feel like a classic.。

Now, what will happen to "green persimmon" as a subject in the future?。Will it eventually cease to be painted as a traditional subject?。The "naive fragrance" felt by painters of the past、I still feel a little...。

Practice colors and brushstrokes that match the paper quality.。-If you draw, you will always come across something that you can't do well.。Is your technique unskilled?、Don't you understand the logic properly?、There are various reasons such as lack of concentration etc.、In any case, you'll run into something that you can't do well.。

Anyone can improve with practice。But、it's not infinite。Improvement stops at a certain point、From there onwards、Just maintaining that is several times more difficult.、Eventually, as physical strength declines, it becomes impossible to maintain、"Level" decreases。One of the “constant things” is age (physical strength)、Many people would imagine that。No one can avoid physical challenges.、this makes sense。spiritual aspect too、It is not unnatural to think that there may be some indispensable relationship with age.。

But、When asked at what age does progress stop?、Actually it doesn't make any sense。80Even if you start from age、As long as you have passion, you will improve rapidly.。On the other hand, even if you start at 20 years old, 4、5Improvement stops as the years pass。at least、I think that's the level of improvement you can see.。In other words, the technical level is determined to a certain extent.、Whether it's early or late、That's the goal anyway。In that sense、The sooner you arrive, the more time you will have available.、Is it like that?。

“There are things I can’t do well.”。How you overcome it depends on your experience.。Unlike physical strength、My experience continues to increase (though I do forget things).、Instead of compensating for the decline in physical strength with experiential knowledge,、There is a possibility that this will lead to the creation of more advanced technology.、Not small at all。
in short、in any case、That you won't be disappointed。By practicing, anyone can “increase their experiential wisdom”。Because “there are things I can’t do”、Wisdom from experience can become deeper and richer、That's what it means, isn't it?。-Let's practice.、everyone。
