"Enjoy drawing"

"Clematis" watercolor

"Enjoy drawing"、It is a word that is commonly used (has been used)、recently? It's starting to feel more and more difficult。In other words, it seems that ``painting'' is no longer ``painting.''。Would you say that the definition of "painting" is wavering?、The meaning of "enjoy" is wavering.、That's what it feels like。

right now、many、For those who draw pictures、There is no change in "enjoying pictures"。literally、I'm looking forward to drawing、watch and enjoy、share it with many people and enjoy it、that's all。For those who don't draw、watch and enjoy、Share and enjoy the opportunity、It was that。

Historically、To “enjoy painting”、It is known that prints (publications) made a major contribution。``Ukiyo-e prints'' that everyone knows。In the Edo period、Speaking of enjoying pictures、I'm sure that's what you meant in the first place.。You probably never even thought of wanting to see the actual thing (woodblock?)。Even in Europe、The aristocracy was able to appreciate the actual paintings.、monk、Something like a teacher、Most people see religious paintings in churches.、They must have enjoyed just looking at simple prints (surimono).。

It became possible to appreciate actual paintings at the exhibition hall.、This is relatively modern。Viewers share the artist's intentions and feelings through the paintings.、enjoy。This became the central image of ``enjoying pictures.''。
With the advent of AI, that “picture”、Alteration? trying to。People who used to just "watch and enjoy"、It has become possible to ``draw pictures'' by converting ``words.''。Knowledge of art materials、Of course, you don't need any drawing skills or anything.。``A Picasso-style blonde woman'' ``Sitting on a chair''、Just type in a short sentence and the software will draw a picture for you.。Moreover,、Originality is also guaranteed。From the perspective of a traditional painter like me、It has become impossible to even share the ``joy of drawing''.。I feel that we are living in an unpleasant era.。

The "people" who are painters

"Green-apple" Tempera F4

busy。That said,、I'm not working。“Busy playing”? That's about it、It's not supposed to be elegant、The fact that I'm spending my time not becoming Zeni means、(In the world's eyes) I guess it's called "having fun."。I don't agree with it myself、I'm sure there are many people who see it that way.、I feel it。

「Green-apple」。This is the scanned image、600 (pix/inch) I scanned it with、What is this sweet focus? As if、It looks like you're asleep! How irritated I was、Thinking calmly、It seems that there are various causes (not to mention the picture)、It's always sharp! )。

the other day、10 years younger than me、I talked to a popular painter。``I studied a lot of theory and technology at (art) university, but...、After all、It's just that I'm still doing what I did when I was a child, even as an adult.'' ``I didn't understand it when I was a child.''、The meaning of drawing、Techniques I didn't know、technology。Using materials that were not available at the time、It's just an extension of what we did back then."。yes、yes。That's right, isn't it?。

(In the world's eyes) would you call me an idiot? Do you mean "innocence"? either way、Personally, I think, ``Either is fine.''、It doesn’t have to be either.”。I just need to be able to do what I want to do.、If you can do it, just keep going。Do you lose the desire to continue?、If you can't continue、That's it。If you think about it in advance,、I end up not being able to do it、Maybe that's what the world is like。What you can do、People who had no choice but to do it when they could.、I wonder what it is。

From the Matisse “Free Form” exhibition

This is a "draft" of a famous work (photography is permitted)
Creating the atmosphere of a church (probably life size)
7Are you ready for the weekdays starting from today?、It wasn't as crowded as I expected (photos are allowed)

Yesterday (May 6)、I went to the National Art Center, Nogizaka for the first time in a while.。The main purpose was to see the Kokugakai.、I was feeling good too、I went a little further and went to see Matisse's ``Free Form'' exhibition, which mainly featured paper cutting.。One more thing、I also saw a contemporary art exhibition called “Distant Present”.、This is quite different from the above two and is interesting.、I will not touch on it here.。

What do I feel is common to people who are called masters?、Everyone is serious about themselves.。From very early drawing practice、Until the end of writing、He really works hard towards what he wants to do.、I really feel it。
“Being serious about myself”、selfish、just do what you want to do、I feel like there needs to be some explanation between。“To myself” and the essence of painting、In other words、I believe、For both “historical flow of painting = mainstream”、It means "humble"。(Do you want to study?、(Whether it's intuition or not) requires historical insight.。I'm off topic, but、So-called modern art、Unless we take that into account、It becomes just a “derailment accident”。

Matisse is just an ordinary oil painting until the middle.、I'm studying by fleshing it out with regular shading.。But、Is that really the right way to express yourself?、I guess he was drawing it with doubts in mind.。many、While arranging chiaroscuro in your own way、I know you're looking for a way。That's already different from mediocre painters.。The purpose is not to become good.。

Eventually、It becomes clear that the shading method does not suit me (I try a different form of three-dimensional expression), but、It's because I tried various arrangements myself.、I guess I was able to come to the conclusion that it was no good.。If you rely on the advice of others、I'm lost、you can't do that。
If the shading expression doesn't match、All I have to do now is refine the expression of lines and colors.、Matisse, who was completely abandoned by shading,、From there, he quickly became a real Matisse.。serious、You're a hard worker, aren't you?。-I can't bear it always being so long.。
