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)

belatedly、A video of the so-called "Blue Seagull Exhibition" held in April this year.、Uploaded to YouTube this morning。If you are interested, please take a look。

For a while now、I mentioned the other day that I hadn't uploaded any videos to YouTube.。I was busy though.、It's because I didn't feel like it any more.、I also wrote that。But、I continued doing watercolors.。

There was also a classroom, so it's only natural.、This person was motivated.。Therefore、"I didn't feel like doing anything" means、It was a little over the top。

Why did I become interested in watercolor?、It all started when I painted a “sunset”.。In watercolor, gradation and blur are felt to be the most watercolor-like.、It is a sport that is firmly connected to the essence of current sports.。Well then、You have to be able to do anything! If you think about it and try it、I can't do it as well as I think I can。100％、Perfect gradation every time、What should I do to get rid of the bleeding?、What if I thought about it?、So I just happened to end up making a series of them.。

In a row、I created a video called ``Drawing a Sunset - Watercolor'' with gradation and blur as one of the themes.。try it、I became even more aware that gradations and blurring are “crazy”。Either watercolor or oil painting、You can draw as many details as you want, but、The theme is blur that is difficult to control.、I made this my current task.。And、How can this be developed in oil painting?、When I started thinking about that、I feel like I can no longer remain in a state of lethargy.。I'm not saying that lethargy is bad.。
