Geranium composition

"Geranium composition" study watercolor F8

The word "composition" is not an art term.、It's a general term。But、When asked, “What is composition?”、It is difficult to answer in one word.。If you can't explain it quickly, it's proof that you don't understand it well.。“Configuration” is much easier to explain.。

"Composition" is more abstract、and “literary”。that's why、often used in titles。red composition、When I think of blue compositions, I immediately think of novels.、Speaking of the composition of poverty and the composition of ○○ gold mines, etc.、Imagine nonfiction or journalism。In this case, the “composition” is、It's quite moody、almost no specificity。The "composition" in a painting seems to be more specific.、Paintings are also following this trend.、At most, draw a few rough lines、They're just saying useless things like ``diagonal composition'' and ``triangular composition.''。

There is no mention of color in “Composition”。If it's a painting、Mainly the placement of motifs on the screen and、It remains only a linear effect when you take a step back.。That point、When it comes to “configuration”、color contrast、Of course, the comparison of shapes、Everything visual is tangible、in detail、logically examined、written in a format that can be verified。In painting, the word "composition" is more appropriate.。

However, in "geranium composition" and "geranium composition"、At least for this picture, the ``geranium composition'' is better.、It is a sport that is firmly connected to the essence of current sports.。Although there are some overlaps with the "literary nature" mentioned earlier,、I feel that the author's subjectivity is visible in the composition.。In this picture、The arrangement of objects and the arrangement of boards are deliberately ``composed'' at subtle angles (there is no horizontal line!)。But、Beyond that logical thing、There is something like ``my subjectivity and preference'' about the screen.。if that's what you intend、I feel like the word "composition" doesn't fully encompass everything.。That's why it's a geranium composition.。

“Practice” of roses

Rose demo production (watercolor/F4)

This morning (2023.04.13)、The J-Alert warning echoed across the country from the radio.。``An object believed to be a ballistic missile from North Korea is flying toward Hokkaido.''。Looks like it will fall in Hokkaido around 8 a.m.。Evacuate immediately! ”。While I was driving, I was told that I was in a ``sturdy building''.、or subway、``Evacuate to a basement etc.''、I was surprised it was true。

After all、Prime Minister Kishida ended with, ``We have confirmed that it did not fall within our territory.''。Until midway through, there were announcements as if there were two flying objects.、That didn't happen either。

This may be (partially) fake news to convince the public that the defense budget has been significantly increased.、I suspected。the past few days、Regarding the much-publicized accident in which a helicopter carrying senior officials of the Ground Self-Defense Force crashed.、At one point, there was even talk of "Chinese military".、I thought it wouldn't happen no matter what、At that time, I assumed that the story was coming from something related to the defense budget.。 
Warning regarding this missile、If the Ministry of Defense really believed that、That means that the calculation of the wake is at a truly childish level.、I'm worried about whether it's okay to have the ability to attack enemy bases.。hastily、This is because there is a risk of “counterattacking” against an attack that does not even exist.。A “small mistake” is not enough、scary story。

Making a demo of roses。practice drawing roses。If you're talking about chat GPT, which has been a hot topic recently,、``Whitish pink rose、soft feeling。"Let's float among the green leaves,"、It “draws” several roses in an instant.。There's no need to practice anymore。At least if you don't like drawing itself.。” The days of presenting pictures are over.。Technology advances quickly。within a few years、I'm sure it will happen。At that time finally、You will realize that ``I only draw pictures for myself.''。

Let's cheer up!

Apple-Crossing the Sea (Unfinished)

I've finally gotten to the point where I can post photos.。For the time being、I'm relieved。Although it is not completed yet、If we come this far, we'll (probably) reach our goal by June.。I know that I can only do what I can't do, but I'm frustrated、If you take it too easy, doubts will gradually arise.、If you do it poorly, you may end up abandoning your work.、I would like to finish it as soon as possible by the end of this month.。

I think everyone will have lost their memories by the time of the exhibition.、I will explain it with confidence.。Please forget it as soon as possible。
The theme is “Crossing the Sea” (I actually wanted to write “Sail”)、It does not appear in kanji conversion。That's it for now)。It's an adventure。childhood、When you go out to sea in a dugout canoe (something like that)、I once felt a little scared.、That's why when you see or hear about ``taraibune'' or ``owanfune,''、A combination of fear and a sense of adventure comes to mind.。

Apple is an apple、The boat is a scallop。Both are important products of Aomori Prefecture.。A plan to export it to a foreign country、It also looks like、I'm not a financial person by any means.、It just happens to fit that way.。The real theme that does not appear in form is "color and line"。ordinary、"Line" is one of the elements that create shape。Here the lines are full of color、Rather, it has the role of interfering with the recognition of shapes.。Although the power of the line is still insufficient、How can I draw stronger colored lines?、I'm researching。The same goes for color research.。

Another keyword is “energy”。I am also drawing this to inspire myself.。Until now, somewhere in my heart、I have to sacrifice myself somewhere for the sake of painting.、There was a feeling that。But、Lately, I think that's not right.。People who draw pictures too、The people who see it too、Even if it's a sad picture、What ultimately gives people strength。If so、Isn't it better to be healthy from the beginning? I am drawing with this feeling in mind.。
