Try drawing a night view"Night view - in front of the flower shop" watercolor
"Night view" is not a subject suitable for transparent watercolors.、I think again。The technique of transparent watercolor、The light that passed through the thin layer of paint reflected the whiteness of the paper.、This is based on the principle of how the light passes through that layer and enters the eye again.、Painting paper black is inherently contradictory.。
By the way, oil paint、There is a transparent layer and an opaque material layer.、Transmitted light and material reflection (surface reflection)、There are two paths to vision.。This creates a sense of solidity and depth in oil paintings (most、Although this "transparent layer" is disliked in modern paintings)。Incidentally,、Although it is the same watercolor painting, if you draw it with ``opaque'' so-called gouache,、The idea is basically similar to oil painting.。however、There is no transparent layer like oil paint, so、That brings up another problem。
To alleviate the contradiction、It is better to apply dark colors as thinly as possible.。that's why、It leaves the whiteness of the paper.。By contrasting with the whiteness of the remaining paper、Darker and “feeling”、It is a technique called transparent watercolor.。Not what you see、You must draw with the effect in mind。In that sense、Much more advanced than oil painting、It's also technically difficult.。 This is a little off track.、For children、It is my opinion that it is better to become familiar with oil paintings before watercolors.、In that sense, Japan has things like ``don't pollute the surroundings (including yourself),'' ``smell,'' ``package is heavy,'' etc.、From the point of view of art, things that are not essential have a high priority.。Although there are various problems、It's best to start with the easy one.、That's the basics。
I'm off topic, but、With that in mind、"Night view" is more difficult than you might think.。It sounds like an excuse somehow、That's why I want to take on the challenge.。 *On July 11, 2024, with the title “Night Hanaya-mae”、I am drawing a different version of the same motif.。Please compare。
一枚の羽子板には、木を育てる人から数えれば、かなりの数の職人さんたちが関わっているにいるに違いない。その人たちが全員(家族も含め)生活していくには、羽子板が高価で飛ぶように売れていかなければならない、It is a sport that is firmly connected to the essence of current sports.。羽子板の需要という現実を考えれば、廃業(と聞いている)もやむを得ない選択かとも思うけれど、こんな小さな部分にも、職人のこだわりと実力が込められている。伝統文化にちょっとだけ触れた正月だった。
