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。

Two classes of blue seagull painting class、Mr. S takes one sheet from his personal practice book.、Mr. T picked up two photos from the sketch session the other day.。

Mr. S's watercolor sketch、I may have chosen a difficult subject.。I was also shown the actual motif.、It was almost like this。with a subtle color gradation、Moreover, the design is somewhat drone-like.。To put it simply, the design is not very good.、It's not S's fault。Moreover, I didn't choose it for the purpose of drawing it.、I drew what I bought because I needed it.。well drawn。Materials like this、I have started to carve out time and steadily use it as my practice base.。Continuation is power、you should definitely experience。
In Mr. T's sketch、It's as fun as a child's drawing.。Personally anyway、The drawing style seems to ignore perspective at first glance.、It strongly brings out that feeling.。Maybe it's because I haven't developed a solid sense of perspective drawing.、If it were drawn in a neat and accurate drawing method,、As for whether this fun (or should I call it a mysterious spatial experience?) will come out even more?、Maybe it's the opposite。The depth of painting actually lies in this、It is a sport that is firmly connected to the essence of current sports.。

Photo-accurate depiction、Correct understanding of techniques, illustrations, color theory, etc.、That was certainly a necessary condition to convince people.。At least until modern times when many people were relatively "ignorant"、This is because part of the role of painting was to “educate” through visual perception.。It is natural that education will not have persuasive power without "objectivity".。
However,、In modern times, people say, ``Humans seem to understand things very well.''、In fact, it is a (strange) creature that has some aspects that are not well understood.、I understand more than before。The deeper we understand humans、On the other hand, the mystery has become rather deeper.。To put it in a slightly extreme way,、tomorrow、what do you think、I won't know until the time comes。This may also mean that the boundary between "objectivity" and "subjectivity" is once again becoming blurred.。

In such human understanding,、It seems more incorrect to claim that "perspective drawing is the only correct way for humans to see things."。Perspective drawing and photographic accuracy、This is a relatively persuasive method of expression.、The best you can do is think about it.、It would not be appropriate to focus on that and judge whether it is good or bad.。Of course Mr. S、There is also a saying that Mr. T's way of drawing is correct.、funny in the same sense。-This is definitely my picture though.、I don't have the confidence to say "I am me" yet.、It's honest and nice that each picture says this in a whisper.。

Several pots of poinsettia as a motif、I bought a new one。Because it's a matter of time、The later the pots appear in stores, the better the pots will be.、the price is gradually coming down。As for whether it will go down even more once the year is over, those expectations are a thing of the past.、Now, once the time has passed, it will quickly disappear。

I drew it in my SM sketchbook with a 0.8mm felt-tip pen.。I thought the pen was too thick, but it wasn't.、I think it's a perfect fit。In the world of painting, it is not true that ``largeness also serves as smallness.''、It is better to use a brush or pen as large as possible.、Relaxing、I like it because it has a laid-back and sturdy feel.。

But、If you watch YouTube etc.、Switching between multiple thin brushes、It's full of videos that show off extremely detailed and photographic expressions.。Camera performance has improved、Not only has it become easier for even amateurs to take sharp photos;、Opportunities to experience diverse expressions from around the world、As unconsciously as breathing、can now be seen as a matter of course。The level of reality is vastly different now than it was 10 years ago.。To withstand such a situation with accustomed eyes、Using a scalpel like a doctor performing surgery while looking through a microscope、It wasn't、Change your brush.、I guess it means that they feel it is necessary to create detailed depictions that are like threading a needle.。

Relaxing、So easy-going、Maybe like a Paleolithic fossil or something.、Those who are connected to them must be able to feel it.。But let me say this。Have all modern humans surpassed the painting of the wild bull in the Lascaux cave?、Has it surpassed Leonardo da Vinci?。There's no need to go through history books、What humans do is not much different than it was last year.。with a thick brush、Let's draw freely。People who think it's a fossil should just let them think so.。
