look at failed work

"Sunset (Study)" Watercolor F6

It's a failure。I've already made a mistake and washed away the paint, and、I tried drawing it again。More than I imagined、The paint soaks into the paper strongly.、Even after the failure was confirmed, I couldn't wash it off properly.、I tried it for practice of "background"。The white frame on the screen、This is the "background" we are talking about here.。

ordinary、There is no such thing as a “background” in landscape painting.。What does it mean to give a background to it?。For example, suppose you are looking through a glass at this scenery.。Light is reflected on the glass surface、I see myself reflected、It becomes difficult to see the scenery。That kind of situation makes people angry.。And、I used my imagination to fill in the ``visually obstructed'' parts, so to speak.、will try to clear up。By doing so、Forcibly、in the head of the viewer、The idea is to have the artist draw the picture he or she is trying to draw.、It's a gimmick.。

The word "background" may not suit you.。actual、It's a very unpleasant word for me as well.。For the time being、Its “disturber” effect paradoxically makes the landscape stand out.、I use this word in the sense that、If you have a better word, please let me know.。
For now、I have only made a few prototype landscape paintings with backgrounds so far.、It is still unknown how it will develop.。It's just a background、It's not fundamental, but、I think there's a lot of potential if it's just a small accent.。When it comes to still life and portraits、Its weight is even greater、It's worth the research、surely。

Another failure is、I can't draw the sunset properly。I can't do gradations well.。Gradation in watercolors is much more difficult than in oil paintings.。Gradient is the most basic technique in watercolor painting.、That is ultimately the most difficult。Anyone can use a pencil、It's similar to how difficult it is to be able to draw a single attractive line.。I also couldn't find a good match between the paper and myself.。4,5I tried drawing one、I haven't had that kind of response yet.。I'll try practicing with this motif a few more times.。

Saitama Prefecture Exhibition Review

Yesterday, June 9th (Soil)、There was a review session for the Western painting section of the Saitama Prefecture Exhibition that was currently being held.、Venue: Kita Urawa、I went to the Prefectural Museum of Modern Art。At that time, there were more people than usual.、I think there were a lot of enthusiastic sellers.。

Most of the people who want to hear reviews are veterans.、Mainly how do I get selected?、In other words, can you win the award?、I want to get that hint、It seems that。Most of them are probably in some public recruitment organization.、Or belong to a painting class, etc.、such as by going to school、I felt like I already had enough knowledge about the methodology.。

Look at the trends over the past few years、I would do this、One idea that I felt。That's what I've been doing too、2It's a simple strategy of listing points.。Recently、It seems that many people only draw one piece because only one piece will be accepted anyway.、1When it comes to points, we tend to take the safety measure of ``getting selected first.''。2If it is a point、1Although the point is a bit of a safety measure、2You can have a big adventure with your eyes。I'm aiming for the prize、“Safe production” is difficult.。All the judges、I'm hoping for a somewhat adventurous work.、If you don't respond to that, you won't be nominated for the award.。I think it can be done right away, what do you think?
