light painting、heavy picture

"Pigeon and Rose" watercolor
“Forest road bridge (part)” watercolor

In "The Dove and the Rose"、I tried to draw with one touch as much as possible.。Even if I brush over and over again、as large an area as possible、The goal was to repeat it just once.。It's a bit of a strange layout though、A small potted rose、The idea is that you're trying to hide your butt while watching from above.。

Why one touch?、In the previous “Forest Road Bridge”、This is a reaction to the fact that it has become quite descriptive.。I'm not saying that descriptive things are bad.。I felt like I drew too much last time.、I took two steps back to keep my balance.、This person is building his "own" snowboard "road"。

drawing a picture is、Sometimes it works like a drug。Drawing makes me feel refreshed and lighter、On the contrary, it doesn't make me feel heavy;、I tried to break things as if I was hitting the nail on the head.、Various “side effects” may appear.。It can also be poisonous.。

A heavy picture (generally speaking, time、Pictures that require physical strength and energy、) does not necessarily make you feel worse.。It is not uncommon to experience a great sense of satisfaction and fulfillment.。
Light painting、heavy picture。Usage for each、There is a dose、Both seem to have "efficacies"。It is best to use different drugs depending on your symptoms (mood).。

what is drawn

"Still life with campanella" watercolor

There are many things about paintings that you can't understand unless you actually see them.。on the other hand、By seeing the actual thing up close、Some things may even become invisible。

Details that cannot be seen in photographs or printed materials。for example、An oil painting that appears to be painted uniformly from a distance.、Brush movements that can only be seen up close。from the right or from the left、Its speed etc.。Tighten the rope、Some exhibitions restrict visitors from getting close to the paintings.。From the perspective of protecting the work, there are certainly aspects that cannot be helped.、people who want to see there、It is also a frustrating punishment for those who can see it.。

When you look at the actual thing like that、On the contrary, it becomes invisible、Something like the author's intention。If you look closely, the artist's technique is too active.、Their cold calculations become invisible.。hidden behind emotional gestures、careful placement etc.。This came much later、While looking back at it many times in art books etc.、Things that suddenly appear like “Maybe”。Something like the author's mild ``dizziness''、I don't know at that time。

What exactly is depicted?、for the viewer、important but not essential。“The figure of the author” who depicts it、Because you can see the "author's calculations" depicted there.。
There is a famous saying, "The soul resides in the details."。Even in pictures that don't seem to have any particular details.、There is a part of the author that cannot be hidden.。

Usage of white - end

“Hydrangea” Watercolor、acrylic
Part used in combination with acrylic

I'm still exploring ways to use white in watercolor.、I've almost come to a conclusion。The photo above starts with just watercolor.、The one below is made with acrylic.。

To be honest, I don't want to show you how well it turned out as a picture.。But ok、This is where my ability lies.。When you start, don't think too deeply about the end.、The color of the face was drawn regardless of the background.。If you continue with watercolor, the red shades will stand out.、A case of failure。

there、By applying a slightly thick layer of acrylic white、Can hide redness on the skin (watercolor also adds blueness)、That's the point。Moreover, it is different from gouache or watercolor Chinese white.、Even if you layer watercolors on top of it、The secret is that it does not melt and become cloudy.。This is probably much better for most people.。Tempera is also good though、The problem is the difference in “drying time”。

Mix watercolor white、For those who can create pastel colors as desired in one shot.、It's just a hassle, though.。
