painting imagination

From the video being edited

Let's say you're a painter。How often do you draw?。I don't usually draw, but、People who always take a small sketchbook with them when they travel。People who draw flowers, pets, etc. at least once a month。About once every year or several years、A person who draws about 10 pictures at a time when he gets excited.。Attending painting classes and courses、People who draw regularly、I'm sure there are many different painting lives.。

Even if I can never draw with 100% satisfaction、More than half of 50%、You will be satisfied with the drawing itself.。But not only that、For example, a sketch from a trip、Even if the time is up and it remains unfinished、Every time I look at it, even the events before and after it spring up in my memory.、It's also like creating your own magic box.。I'm sure every time you open that lid too、I'm sure you've secretly enjoyed something that more than made up for the rest of your dissatisfaction.。
 Such sketches (not limited to those taken while traveling)、Don't you feel like it's a bit of a waste to keep it only in a box? Maybe、Maybe those sketches want to go out more often.。

Leave the sketch as is、You've probably already had the experience of redrawing something new and larger.。And I said, ``I guess it has to be on-site after all.''、You might have just rolled it up and shoved it somewhere.。In a sense, that's natural.。
In one picture/sketches、Each piece is imbued with the imagination of a painting.。“Reusing” the same imagination is、The painting itself is "rejecting"。The painting is asking you to “make it your own.”。you have to respond to it。How can I respond?、It's a bit of pressure, isn't it?。

Let me give you a hint。① Do not change the motif (subject) ② Take another look inside the “magic box”。I'm sure you'll find something important. ③ Don't look at it as an object.、For example, try expressing it with "color".。When sketching, you often only see things.。The thing is still a pupa。connected to something in your own memory、For the first time, it becomes imagination.。feathers grow、You will be able to fly.。The magic box is also a ``miracle box.''。

Phase change - painting is not finished yet

I will post three of the same hydrangea prototypes.。1 from the top、2、I'll call it 3、Each drawing is slightly different。3Same paper for both sheets、The photos were supposed to be taken under the same lighting conditions.、For some reason, only the first sheet has a different color of paper.。certainly、The color of the flower is also 2,It should be different from 3。I wonder why?。

1 is mainly a drawing。2 is mainly based on color、Or rather, there are almost no drawings.。3 is almost in between。Looking at it this way, what I feel is the most "painterly" is 2.。Apart from the "plant species" called hydrangea、Because there is a strong degree of "model-oriented" focus on color (including brightness and darkness) and form.。I guess it's a hydrangea because it's lined up.、If you look at 2 alone, it would be 50/50 whether or not it would be recognized as a hydrangea.。If you press one more step、No one will be able to immediately identify it as a hydrangea.。

This is how I feel (currently)、Each person who sees it can feel it as they see fit.。However、Even in that case、Analytical distinctions like those mentioned above (1 is a drawing) must be made (the analytical factors can be set freely by each individual).。because、That's because that's the way you look at things.。The more original the factor is, the more、I think it means that you have a unique perspective (analytical ability).。In this case, it can be said to be an individual filter.、Even with a sieve、Even if you say it with colored glasses, the content remains the same.。

same motif、For example, if you try creating something by changing the expression like this,、It becomes an effective process to deepen the quality of painting.。Not expression (law)、Changing the idea has also been practiced for a long time (in painting, this is called phase transformation/variation).。(I wonder if musical “variations” also mean the same thing.)。
In painting, the motif is ``what to draw?''、There was once (apparently) a debate over ``how to draw'' that centered on concept and expression.。I'm from the next generation、Apart from the concept of the time、When I was young, I thought that ``what to draw = the theme'' was important.。At the time, I believed that paintings still had the power to convey social messages.。
now? -I believe that the ``historical life of painting'' has already run out.、I think that。But at the same time、I also think that painting is not finished yet (afterglow?)。I will omit the explanation、I think that's the difference between humans and AI or robots.、I guess I'll just say。

I'm planning to make a video about the production of tempera paintings.

Production of tempera painting (at the end of the second day)


a small picture、100Same idea as issue、Try drawing with the same title。

It is not good compositionally or technically to reduce a large painting as it is.。For small size pictures、We need to make the most of the benefits that only our size has.。For the time being、I started like this。As we move forward、I think I'll try making some changes。

I'm filming a video while drawing.。that's why、Not only is it slow to progress;、Half the time I feel like someone else is writing it.。For now anyway、Going well。I forgot to turn off the fluorescent lights when taking photos.、Hebo style as usual。
