明けましておめでとうございます

“Seed shape” SM、tempera、acrylic、beeswax
“Apple Village Scenery” – This was also anti-neglect

明けましておめでとうございます。Let's stay healthy this year too。

6about a year ago、100Some items from the ``Seed'' series, including the issue? I have made a series of things like。One of them is、I just can't finish it、It had been left unattended。At the end of the day (I mean yesterday)、Next year (I'm talking about today) I'll be painting tempera.、Just before saying、I made the medium yesterday.。

8I didn't make tempera for a month, so、I've already forgotten how to draw。crack an egg、As I mixed it with oil to make the medium, I gradually remembered it.。on top of the box that holds the pigment、While cleaning up the prints and other things that were on top of me.、What should I draw?、While looking for a pre-painted canvas、This “semi-neglected” item came along.。It's like planting a seed。

Although it is not a new work、I started from here。The picture below was also partially abandoned.、I just finished it。

Beauty with “something missing”

I often hear that、Sketching (on-site) is the best、The more I studied, the worse it got.、The final completed work is the least interesting.、That's the story。half of it is true。Sketching takes the least amount of time、The completed work usually takes the longest time.。Taking time doesn't necessarily mean that something good will come out.。

why、limited time、A sketch drawn in space、Well planned、Is there anything more appealing than a work that was created using the necessary materials and a lot of time?。

in my sense、This includes intuitive reactions on site.、Isn't it "unfinished power"?、It is a sport that is firmly connected to the essence of current sports.。I don't know if "unfinished music" is attractive or not.、It can be a painting or a sculpture.。only half drawn、Or a picture that is only partially painted.、It's emitting an indescribable light、I'm sure many people have experienced this as well.。So is sculpture.。Michelangelo's rough-hewn slave statue、Enku Buddha、It's a little different from unfinished.、Venus de Milo “missing both arms”。“There is something missing” itself is the source of this.。Or maybe that “lack” is beautiful?。

On the other hand, there is also an "excessive charm".。For example, "baroque"。For example, “Peeling Beauty” (past its prime)。"The Tale of Genji"、Pictures from the existing picture scrolls, etc.。Baroque lacks "moderation"、(Existing) The Tale of Genji picture scroll lacks “power”。I believe that Muneyoshi Yanagi, who was an advocate of the Japanese folk art movement,、``The missing piece of the teacup、I feel like he was saying, ``There are things more beautiful than a neat finished work.''。
 

First snow-2

"First snow (distant view of Mt. Nasu)" Watercolor F6

Same motif as the day before yesterday。This time, I dared to include the standard “road”.。After all, the composition is ordinary.。Changing the cedar forest to a broad-leaved forest、In addition, I tried to omit the colors as much as possible (especially for close-up scenes), so、Curling seems to be called "chess on ice"、It may look like it snowed during the cherry blossom season (this could be useful when drawing cherry blossoms!)。The white parts are unpainted parts of the paper。

For now、I am continuing to create watercolors in order to practice uploading them to YouTube.、A series of pictures that don't really look like me、I'm feeling a little frustrated。Even this is quite different from the photo.、As expected, it's quite far from "doing whatever you want".。Although、There's no need to dislike drawing itself.、As the number of sheets increases、I guess I'm gradually getting used to watercolors.、I also look forward to making small technical discoveries every time.。
