Blue seagull sketch session

Blue seagull painting class/sketch session (today)

There was a sketch session for the blue seagull painting class.。The location is in Miyashiro-cho, Saitama Prefecture.、Nippon Institute of Technology campus。This was made possible because the executive committee chairman gave us permission to enter the campus.。The weather is good too、The wind is also a breeze、First of all, it was a perfect day for sketching (I think the sun was a bit hot)。

Sketchbooks vary in size.。Call your old friends、Some people are more eager to talk、Looks like you had a good time、That was the best。I was able to meet you too.。What are the results? everyone、I drew at least one out of obligation (lol)。

This painting class too、To begin with, this university's、Open campus open to nearby residents、It has its roots in "public lectures"。Almost 10 years have passed since the course ended.、Everyone (strangely) misses me、This is the plan for this time。for each person、make friends、It may be a "sacred place" where you can expand your circle of friends with similar interests.。I feel grateful to have such a common place.、I really think about it。

At that time, I made many sketches based on this campus.、The situation inside the campus has also changed considerably.。The library and student cafeteria have been moved to new locations.、A large square can be created in the middle.、overall bright、It's becoming more open。There are still few trees、When I grow up, it will feel like a little park.。Many students there、I walk slowly to get to the classroom where the lecture will be held.。
Relaxing、I'm relaxed、I wanted them to cherish this precious time.。We also have a little bit of an “elderly club”.、I think the wrinkles have grown out。Even at this moment、 “歩行困難な老人でさえ” 容赦ない砲弾、爆撃の下を避難しなければならない世界があることを、わたしたちは知っています。スケッチなどに過ごせる、平和で楽しい時間を若い人たちにも遺していきたいものですね。

Pomegranate and origami sketch

"Pomegranate and origami" 2023 Watercolor (cotton paper)

I received a pomegranate again、I drew a few pieces to use as reference works for the classroom.。The “short-sleeved shirt-shaped origami” in the background is also、What I received from Mr. A at the haiku party。previously、A print of Korin Ogata's Kakitsubata、I also posted on this blog that you folded it into a candy box with a stylish lid.、This will be the second appearance of origami (2022/11/19 "Pear and Kakitsubata")。

It takes about an hour and a half from pencil sketch to completion.。If you can break this step down into parts,、Anyone can (should) be able to draw this much.。Analysis of the steps and clarification of work procedures、Generalization is my job.。

I wish I could do watercolor sketches、For those who are thinking, I think it is enough to draw this much (I apologize for the inconvenience)、sorry)。Almost all the techniques needed for sketching are used.、Technically, it means necessary and sufficient.。However、A picture should be drawn neatly.、It goes beyond the dimension of、There's something deeper。
You can't understand that just by sketching.、does not mean。drawing、through seeing、I think what is important is what you feel from it.。If you look closely at any picture,、Through the surface of the screen、the person's feelings and thoughts、physical condition、If you wait a little while, you can even get a faint sense of the atmosphere of the times.。``Nurturing such eyes by yourself''、And from there, it opens the door to another deeper world.。Perhaps that is the ``passageway'' to ``art.''。Even if you don't go into it、I think it's amazing just seeing it with your own eyes.。

Probably anyone、As I continued sketching (stoically)、It's okay if you don't get desperate)、One day, I suddenly had a moment of awakening that made me realize, ``Maybe this is what sketching is all about.''。Do that many times、We reach something deeper little by little.。Even if it doesn't look like you're getting any better,、Those who understand will begin to understand。I hope that happens。

13friday of the day

"Umino Sora" (study) 2001

Today is Friday the 13th。It seems to be an unlucky day in Christian countries.、In Jewish Israel, it probably doesn't matter.。My heart hurts about the battle between Israel and Hamas (which wouldn't be a "battle" given the difference in equipment, etc.)。My pretty bad back pain、Thanks to the painkillers, I am gradually able to walk again.。I feel a little more relaxed、I'm looking into this fight。

in japan、Generally speaking, news reports are mostly about ``Hamas launching a unilateral attack,'' ``many casualties among Israeli civilians,'' and ``Israel has the right to retaliate.''。It is reported that the US will also provide weapons support.。Although there are reports from the perspective of Gaza.、It's a minor way of handling。

It is certain that the person who hit him was at fault.。But、why did you hit me、It is illogical not to ask why。There is always a cause/reason for the result。
It's called Gaza、Israel made it unilaterally (this report is full of “unilateral”)、The so-called "prison without a ceiling"、It is clear to everyone that there is a fundamental problem with what the world (including Japan) has accepted.。The child born there、It's like being sentenced to life imprisonment from the moment you're born.。Without being able to take a single step beyond the wall that Israel built without permission.、I have no choice but to end my life there.。
Too unreasonable、It also looks like。the situation、The international community has continued to turn a blind eye.。America acts as if it is the world's custodian of human rights.、It must be said that tolerating this is a double standard.。America condemns China's human rights violations、Turning a blind eye to America's own human rights issues。
That's probably where most of the reasons for hitting him come from.。In reality, the people of Gaza did not attack.、This is due to Hamas absorbing the dissatisfaction.、I think it's as reported that people's pent-up anger is turning into support for Hamas.。If I were born in Gaza、If you imagine that, it seems like there is a "right to hit" before the "right to retaliate".。

The causes of war are complex。It doesn't start with just one reason.。World War I was also described as the “Sarajevo shot”.、It's just a match。This was because a situation had already been established in which a fire could be lit as soon as a match was struck.、Why did that situation arise?、We have to chase many “whys”、“Second shot、3It is not possible to prevent the occurrence of。
While saying that "people's lives are important"、why pull the trigger of a gun、Or do I have no choice but to withdraw?。Honest thoughts and Tatemae。Before the power game、That human life has no meaning、It is clearly shown。
