If people see、It may seem like he keeps drawing "Apple" as if he's obsessed with it.。It's true that I've been drawing intensively for the past three months.、I'm not obsessed.。This concentration takes into consideration various production cases.、A case study, so to speak.、It is easy to understand if you think of it as a period to improve the sophistication of your thinking.。

I didn't draw like this when I was younger.。Just draw whatever comes to mind、that was the best。Production could not keep up with the flood of ideas。Ideas still come to me、It kind of feels like old annealing.。I may have gone through one or two rounds.。If so、On the other hand, let's take a deep dive into one idea.、When I can't go deep, I try to improve the level of perfection (although it's like a craftsman)、That's how I think。

Recently、A painting is not something that can be completed in one piece.、In the end, as a total of all the paintings that I have continued to draw throughout my life.、One piece (?) is finished (never completed)、Although it is not easy to say that it is the world of that person), I started to think that。big tree、If each leaf were a picture、We need not only branches but also trunks and roots.。Moreover, it scatters its leaves at certain times.、Grows little by little while producing new leaves。Then, with the thick branches、Becomes a big tree with countless leaves、It will eventually wither away。The whole thing is also a picture (maybe the movie is closer)、As I draw, I get rid of tension from my body。

I started this painting with tempera.。It's small、I was thinking of just leaving it as tempera and finishing it easily.、I felt that the brown color in the center (I was planning to layer white over it many times) was strangely beautiful.、I decided to leave it as is.。Since then, the policy has changed、On the contrary, I made the surrounding area thicker and whiter with Akira.。The yellow in the background repeats from tempera brown to tempera yellow to oil paint yellow to tempera yellow.。The part where the oil painting is inserted in the middle is based on my experience.。I'm thinking of using oil paint to give the white a slight reddish look.、The original idea rejected such nuances、I was just trying to draw it flat.。why did you change your mind、The reason too、I think that thinking about the pros and cons of that in itself is an important element of painting.。

Painting with a combination of watercolor + pastel、A very recent attempt。The combination of watercolor and pastel itself is a very common method.、I didn't have many examples.。When I start again、Not only can you take advantage of the best parts of both techniques, but also、is 15 years since the Great East Japan Earthquake、It has become clear that the hurdles for both pastels are lower.。this is a very useful discovery。I would like to recommend it to many people。

What does it mean to have a lower hurdle?、For example, in the picture above、When drawing a person's face with watercolor、Assuming you are using pastels, it is enough to paint the face color with a reddish-black surface.。No need for delicate techniques like painting only with watercolors。Afterwards, add a strong contour line with storyboards、Pastel only colors that are lighter than the surface painted with watercolor、You can write with the intention of drawing light.。I don't like pastel dark colors.、I have them underpaint it with watercolor, so it's very easy to draw.。No need to have too many pastel colors、Kill two birds with one stone。

I guess the problem is the staying power of pastels.。If you try to fix it firmly with fixer、Bright pastel colors fade。It is better to keep it to a minimum。Oh dear、I thought that powdered paint would fall off.、I think it would be more fun to not worry too much about permanence.。

My "Apple" first appeared in the late 1980s.、At least 30 years already、continues with interruptions。I feel like there's going to be a new series now.、What I would like to say around here is、 I don't want it to be converted to "Apple"。

I'm almost all year round、eat an apple after every dinner。“Apples, apples” are “real things” to me.、It's not just an image。Also、I don't usually call apples "Apple"。that's why、“Apple” as a work is to me、An image (abstract) as a form、It is not intended to depict real objects that are eaten or eaten.。"Apple" is called "Apple"、Completely different from apples、It's a different dimension、I want you to think that。

If you think so、This picture can be easily understood just by looking at it.。The overall shape is like an apple, but、If you look closely, you'll see a muscular man.、(It also looks like a cloak.、You may be able to see a picture of someone flying (“with wings” that also resembles a feather)。That is "Apple"。

Actually、Paintings with this kind of mechanism have been around the world since ancient times.、I also refer to them、I have tried many different things so far.。However, the recent "Apple" (in my own production) has a distinctly different mindset from previous ones.。What will happen from here on?、I'm also looking forward to it myself。
