The fishing port sketch was taken while driving from Nojimazaki, the southernmost tip of Chiba Prefecture, to Kujukuri.。divided into several times、I've been sketching for days。Referring to that、I tried drawing it again。I think the location was around Wada.。
I think it was in the evening。I guess it was time for the sun to set soon.。I don't want to express that sense of time in the video (because the picture becomes dark)、screen based、I made a color-oriented sketch。
Repin "Ivan the Terrible" (from the public domain)
When I think of ``figure painting,'' I immediately think of ``portrait.''、Landscapes and paintings with multiple people in a room can also be included in "portraits".。For example, Picasso's portrait paintings from his Blue and Blue period.、Those of the rosy era, etc.、At least it's not a portrait、The theme is also "human"。
resemble、Although it doesn't look like it, it may not be essential.。This is also the national treasure ``Statue of Gen Gen Yoritomo'', which is said to have been painted by Takanobu Fujiwara.、It is impossible to determine whether or not they resemble the person in question.、The same goes for "Portrait of Christ."。But、On the other hand, there are also things like Tamako Kataoka's ``Ihara Saikaku Statue'' that use imagination.。Not just pictures、The same goes for sculpture.。Although that is true、Well, generally speaking, a portrait "resembles the person"、Would it be possible to say that a portrait painting is ``the subject of a human being in the painting''?。
by the way、There is also a genre called "history painting" (not so common in Japan, but rather the main one in Western Europe).。Because humans create history、Most of what is called history painting is ``figure painting.''。many people know、An example of this is a painting of Napoleon astride a horse, raising his right hand and pointing, ``Cross the Alps!''。By the way、I like Russian painter Repin's ``Ivan the Terrible'' as historical paintings (photo above)。 I was careless, but、There is also a category called “self-portraits”。Let's remember Rembrandt's name here.。Even if I forget the picture。
It doesn't matter whether you like portraiture or not.、There should be no one who is not interested.。According to the research of many scholars、Humans have apparently evolved their brains to look closely at people's faces.。A “human face” that conveys emotions and even various thoughts with a single subtle expression。Even in the classroom, everyone is struggling with production.、That's how difficult it is to deceive (even for the author himself)、This probably means that a high level of expressive technique is required.。"Landscape" and "human beings" are two major themes of art.。No matter how you think about it, in the end you have no choice but to be involved in these two things.。It's too late though、I think I'll try to approach this topic a little more honestly.。
2I was finally able to upload the "outdoor sketch video" yesterday (January 8th), which has been pending for nearly a month.。I didn't drink alcohol on New Year's Day (although I did)、I didn't even eat mochi (although I did eat zoni), so I just ate this just because I was in the mood.。The content is very ordinary、There's nothing worth mentioning though、I made a lot of editing mistakes along the way (I guess it's because I read too much, right?)、The retouching process、Actually, I learned the most from it.。But、Oh dear、I felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders - it was truly Call it a day. 。
But、As soon as I uploaded it, I returned to reality.。10From now on, it's no longer YouTube.、Real “Blue Seagull Painting Class” begins。Is there an appropriate motif? Of course, the “appropriate motif” is different for each person.、physical、There are a lot of things that are unavailable at certain times.、Flowers and vegetables for now、I started looking for things that could be used as art supplies, such as fruits.。
People who draw apples (like me)、You don't necessarily have to draw an apple in front of you.。For example, in my case、Having a real apple in front of you is a ``disturbance''。Apples are an important motif for me.、I don't particularly want to trace its physical appearance.。For me, the only thing I need is the "internal" "tolerance (inclusiveness) power (form) of an apple."、After that, it would be better if the apple remained as a symbol.。
Many of the painters who present photographic realism、Actually, it's similar to me、I'm trying to portray the truth for that person, so to speak.、It seems that he is not trying to depict what is physically (optically) visible in front of his eyes.。In fact, when I hear that small and medium-sized painters, who seem to be completely removed from that, often say, ``My paintings are realistic.''、The general public may be surprised。The relationship between object and author is a surprisingly interesting theme.、Not only is it often taken up by novelists, etc.、Picasso and others relentlessly depict the relationship between ``painter and model.''。People who are convinced that “specific motif” = “object to be drawn”、In a sense, the motif may depict you "on the contrary".。 About the relationship between myself and the motif、It might be fun to think about it for a while。
