How to draw “people”

"Personal Exercises" Watercolor

The “Face Cleaning” series? continues to study。I guess it's common sense to draw women's faces neatly.、This flow will have a minor direction.。

I have had a strange habit since I was a child.、It was a direction that could be called minor-oriented.。It's not that I'm particularly rebellious.、To put it simply, my feelings are similar to ``I want to gently pick up something that has been abandoned.''。Of course, I had a normal admiration and respect for major things.、That's not the only thing that's good、I always felt that。

As for art、There is a space suitable for such a view.。small things、what has collapsed、the weak、dirty things、And words that cannot be voiced。There is certainly true value in such things.。There is space to learn how to pick it up.。There is more than just one way of looking at things.。I think I've always learned this through painting.。

I've uploaded。Take a look。

I was able to upload it today at 7pm! The plan was for 6pm.、I was busy。YouTube also changes its rules frequently.、It's difficult for an elderly person like me to deal with it.。Others are 90 years old and still use it like normal.、That's called。I don't deny that there are people like that, but、Even if I look at it from a low level, I don't think everyone over 80 years old is going to do it with a bang.。

Computers originated in America、The basics are created using "English" and "Western ways of thinking"。It's made in such a way that it can be used in Japanese for everyday use (otherwise it won't sell to Japanese people).、You may not feel any inconvenience。But、If you use it for a long time、I feel more and more like my neck is being held down during my thought process.。

In other words、Using a computer means every day、It also means being brainwashed by the Western way of thinking.。Introduction of computers from elementary school。Responding to the times、Is it enough just for that reason?。I wish the Japanese had been able to develop it from the fundamental point.。I don't think Japanese people are stupid though.、Also highly adaptable、On the contrary, I feel like it's something to think about.。

There is no technique better than “free-spiritedness”

"Personal Exercises" Watercolor

grisaille、I tried painting it as an application to watercolor painting.。Grisaille is one of the classic oil painting techniques.、Draw a monochrome sketch (oil painting) with a three-dimensional effect、This is then layered with mainly transparent oil paint to create deep colors.。

An attempt to do something similar with watercolor.。There are two problems that I knew before I started.。① The color of the monochrome sketch is、Possibility that the color that is layered on top of it will start to melt (this is impossible with oil painting)、②Transparent watercolor is a technique that utilizes the whiteness of paper。Making it dark with monochrome first creates a contradiction in terms of color development.。この絵ではさらに一般の人がよく使う（高級紙でない）紙をあえて使ってみた。結果はご覧の通りだが、わたしより数段技術レベルが高ければ、もっと美しく見せることができそうだ。

The technique is、Analyze and compare such small details.、It has a ``research'' direction to increase its precision.。The painting is、It is built on such techniques、Not bound by such individual direction。The axis of the direction of painting is "free-spirited"。How techniques can help、When you become that power。
