It seems that the first snow fell along the mountains in the Kanto region from last night to this morning.。Winter has finally arrived in this area.。I found a photo of Mt. Nasu (Mt. Chausu).、I drew it with the theme of the first snow.。In fact, I remember it being the first snow of the year as well.、not sure。

Below is a photo of the scene。pull the car to the side of the road、I thought it was taken from the driver's seat.、Apparently someone posted it、Apparently this was taken from the passenger seat as I was passing by.。It's certainly a halfway decent position for the composition of the photo (if I were to take the photo myself).。I decided to somehow make a picture of this.。

I can imagine the road even if it is not in the photo.、I dare not enter the road just in time.。The major change is the size and position of the "telephone pole"。Maybe I should reduce the size of the telephone pole.、I feel like the mountains seem bigger.、What do you think? (Actually、(Although it has been increased in proportion)。Add a part of the forest to the left (which actually exists)、Prevents your line of sight from straying to the left。

Reversing the brightness of the sky and snow。Emphasizing the whiteness of the snow。I think this clearly conveys that the theme is "first snow."。A reddish color was intentionally added to the foot of the mountain.、Expresses the feeling of the end of autumn。However、Draw the whole mountain a little lighter.、It would have been better to show a sense of distance.、I also feel。

A look at last Saturday's balloon festival、I tried painting it in watercolor with some changes.。

At first glance, it seemed simple and easy, but、It's surprisingly difficult to draw。first、To darken the entire screen (while keeping it clear)、In other words, it is technically difficult to depict the feeling of night.。And、No matter how dark it is, a white balloon must look white.、The red balloon on the left must appear red.、How to use "brightness and color" etc.。

The bright light on the ground and the brightness of the burner may be difficult.、Although many people may imagine that、It's actually no big deal。Rather、Saturation of the red to blue color stripes in the central balloon、Representation of lines at the joints of balloons, etc.、Although simple, it requires a combination of the ability to discern colors and the ability to properly depict them.。It took 3 hours even though it was a small screen (F4)。

I think it would be much easier to paint this with oil paint.。subtle gradation control、Oil painting is much more streamlined than watercolor.。Another thing I thought of was、drawing with colored pencils on black paper。This also has restrictions、Oh dear、I feel like this would be easier to draw than watercolor as well.。
If you think about it、Especially for transparent watercolor, dissolve the paint thinly.、This is a technique that takes advantage of the whiteness of the underlying paper.、It's no surprise that I don't like dark landscapes.。That's why、This doesn't mean you can give up。If you draw it, you can do it、I also think。

絵の具メーカーのホルベイン社から新発売の「ルミナスカラー」が出たというので、I tried using it。ルミナスというから蛍光色だはと思ったが、実際ホルベインのホームページにもそう出ている。蛍光色は水彩、acrylic、油絵具などにすでに使われていて、わたしもアクリル絵の具では何本か持っているが、水彩絵の具で使ったのは今回が初めて。久しぶりに色の衝撃を受けた。凄い発色、というか輝きに圧倒された。

上の絵の、カーテンの柱から右側の部分が主にルミナスカラーを使用、左側はほぼ従来の水彩絵の具で描いたものを、日なたでカメラ撮影した。明るいというより、それ自体が発光しているかのよう。窓の向こうが明るい、Or rather、むしろ窓からこちらに飛び出して見える。色が強い（彩度が高い）のである。テーブルの赤も、これまでの水彩絵の具ではできなかった発色。これを使えば、確かに表現が変わる、考え方も変わりそうだ。

The picture below is、それをスキャンしてみたもの。スキャンとカメラ撮影では条件が違うので一概に比べることはできないが、ルミナスカラーの部分が極端に色褪めしているのがわかる（左のテーブルにもルミナスカラーが少し使われている）。特に黄色は完全に消えてしまった。
　これは大きな問題だ。if、画家が自分の作品を印刷・出版する場合はスキャン画像が重要になると思うけれど、その目的ではこの絵の具は使えないことになる（ただし、普通にカメラで撮る限りは問題ありません）。
　さらに、通常の絵画作品を制作する場合、制作から発表まで何年もかかることも珍しくない。どころかずっと保存したままになる作品の方が圧倒的に多い。その時問題になるのは「耐光性」。光に対してどれだけ色の保存力があるか、This person is building his "own" snowboard "road"。ルミナスカラーは全部で12色発売されているが、そのすべてが耐光性は「低い」。色が変化しやすいレベル。多くの画家にとっては、そこが心配だと思う。

however、（保存しない）一回だけの展示、目を引くことが狙いのポスターやイラスト、ポップなどにとっては、強力な武器になることは間違いない。そういう作品にはお勧めです。
