Production begins

Apple-Crossing the Sea (Start of production)

6Works scheduled to be exhibited at the monthly group exhibition (No. 100)。Originally, it should have been finished a long time ago.、My butt is on fire、beginning to burn、It's starting to smoke all the way to my stomach、I finally sat up。Your butt may be completely blackened by now.。Deadline is the end of this month。

I started drawing with tempera。Egg tempera is made by using chicken eggs as glue (glue) and kneading colored powder into it.、A classic technique to fix it on the screen。If you replace the glue with glue instead of egg, it becomes a Japanese painting.。In other words, it is materially related to Japanese painting.。For the time being、I tried to draw an image in monotone。

When I started drawing, size 100 was really small.。Placing individual motifs on the screen、become really tiny。I feel like if I move a little further away, I won't be able to see it.。One of these days、As you progress to the stage of drawing details, the screen will start to feel wider.、For now, it's a free field.。There may be some changes in the image, though.、I don't have time to think about things。All you have to do is keep your momentum and draw all at once.。

At first, I tentatively titled it ``Apple-The Birth of Venus.''。A bit of a parody of Botticelli's famous work of the same name.。The shape of the waves somewhat resembles Hokusai's ``The Great Wave off Kanagawa.''。But、Until there。From then on, it becomes a tug-of-war between the demands of the screen and the author's claims.。That's the fun of drawing、Too bad I have to hurry。
*I was planning to upload the video “Drawing Cherry Blossoms (tentative title)” today, March 17th.、It is unlikely that it will be possible。sorry。I would like to correct it to “as soon as possible”.。

Blue Seagull Society Painting Exhibition、22from the day

Blue Seagull Society Painting Exhibition Guide

The Blue Seagull Society painting exhibition will be held on the 22nd.(water)starting from。Preparations for that are underway、Preparations for individual works seem to have settled down.。still、I'm the only one who's not ready at all、surely。

I am asked to see the exhibited works in advance.、There are some very interesting works。The one in the foreground is “old school” (I apologize for the inconvenience)、(I'm sorry) but I'm ambitious、I think there are a lot of youthful works.。please、I want many people to see it。

on the other hand、to yourself or your family、It's becoming more and more common for people to get sick here and there.。Appropriate for age、Although it is something that cannot be avoided、There are times when I feel like I shouldn't push myself too hard.。Even in such a situation、I'm proud that everyone has the energy to draw.。he、Their paintings depict the everyday and the extraordinary.、I feel that we are becoming one.。Drawing is not something special (although there is some pressure)、I feel like it's becoming a part of everyday life.。
“Art” is somehow only for special people.、I'm sure there are still a large number of people who think of it as something out of their reach.、Art will die if it goes like that.。Not limited to paintings、Artists have always longed for people to make art "everyday"。Even if the expression is beyond the comprehension of contemporaries,、I have continued to appeal, “I still want you to understand.”、I think it's another way of looking at art history.。Art is not about things、exists in humans。Although it is true that the work is a physical object,、the person who makes it、It cannot be discussed without considering the era and environment.。The environment is the people who support it。

At the Blue Seagull Society painting exhibition、We may not be able to expect so-called "genuine works of art."。But、In the "Blue Seagull Painting Class", we did not intentionally set that as our goal (although the challenge is quite good).、I also think that it is important that the Blue Seagull Society painting exhibition is an ``art exhibition of people who support art.''。In the difficult "painting training" so far、Experience the inside of painting、I have understood。to have that perspective。I have slowly deepened my knowledge of each expression and level.。And no matter what form it takes, it seeps into society.。It's important to be that kind of person.、I'm glad that this is happening.。

Where is the “failure”?

This is a failure.。But、I need to check what's wrong
I tried retouching it with CG for now.。Please watch it as if you were looking for the difference.。。

Since I declared that I would draw cherry blossoms,、I tried to draw it with all my might.。Apparently, the questioner thinks that "the concrete result of sketching" brings fun.、When I drew it, I thought, ``This is a failure.''。From the very beginning、I had intended to draw it much more horizontally.、It was a “failure” when I made a concentrated composition “to match the sketchbook”。

I don't like to reveal my failures、why did it fail、where is the failure、How can I fix it and lead to the next step?、For the artist, it is better than a “successful” painting.、sometimes it's important。

First, look at this picture objectively.。Then, ① important motifs are too concentrated.、The first thing you'll feel is。Too many elements are packed into a small screen.。The most common mistakes made by beginners、People with decades of experience (that's me!) are doing it.。Embarrassing! ②What's wrong is the backlit cherry blossom branch on the right.。You don't need all of it.。The backlit branch is slightly sticking out from the left side.。That's enough。Everything on the right side is “additional”。Before trying to draw the right branch、That thought crossed my mind, but I said, "Here we go!"。"why、I won't reveal the details here, but。

There are many other details that go wrong though.、I guess the starting point was that I didn't make it a relaxed landscape.。If I set it horizontally、② may have been more effective.。in conclusion：I once felt like it would be a waste if I didn't color the entire surface of my sketchbook.、It may be the root cause of all failures。“Stingy guts” is your downfall、I guess that means。Ahhh。
*The actual correction of the watercolor sketch will be carried out on the evening of Monday, March 13th.、その内容は録画しました。1週間以内に修正部分も含め、このスケッチを3月17日(金)夜にYouTubeにアップする予定です。
