I've been putting off lots of things.
So I was cleaning up my art room and found out this piece that I painted 9 years ago in an art lesson.
I studied drawing, oil and watercolour over there.
I painted only 3 oil painting.This is one of them. It is just a copy of an artist work.
The teacher used to say copying somebody's work is the best way to improve our skill and found out . I still agree with him.
Unfortunately, this paining was stolen by a gallery owner 7 years ago.
After coming back from summer holiday, the gallery was disappeared with the owner.
All other artist had awful experience as well.
No ideas where the owner is now.
I am sure he is not having a great life, because he must be doing same thing again and again somewhere and run away from people whom he has a trouble.
まじめに、生きていかないとね。私も、人に、言えたがらではないけど。
いまひとつ、絵を描く気にならないときもある。
今朝はスケッチにいったので、もう、描くものは決まっている。
あ、この日本語はいま読むとおかしい。英語だけではない、
日本語でさえ、危うい。
今朝は、スケッチに行って、何枚かスケッチしたので、そこの中から、仕上げようと決めているものがある。ということ。
ちょっと、長いな。
題材がきまれば、
後は、描くだけ。
最近、気がついたのは、
どうして描くかより、
何を描くかがきまらないと、
どうしようもない。
おなじ風景をみても、
なにも
感じないときもある。
今日は、かわいい路地を、うちの近所でみつけた。
いまから、記憶と、スケッチで、描き始めるぞとおもって、ごそごそしていると、
何年も前に描いたはがきサイズのこの絵がでてきた。
このころは、あらわたし、結構いけてるじゃない？
とおもってけど、
よくみるとラフすぎて、
よくこれで、
私、結構いけてるじゃない？
なんて思ったもんだわと、反省。
ちなみに、
この私、結構いけてるじゃない？
は、I have a talent,haven't I?
とかになるのか。
いやいや、I am pretty good.だわね。
このtag question だけれど、わたしの場合、
私は、結構いけてるわね。と訳することになるとおもう。
この、じゃない？
という英語のパターンはないのか。
家にイギリス人と、半分、イギリス、半分日本人というのがいるけれど、
どうも、はっきりしない。
歯がゆい。
I allowed a strong mix of French Ultramarine and Alizarin Crimson to merge at the bottom of the flower.From Trevor Waugh, Flowers in Watercolour.
英語が苦手なので、
英語でなにかをタイプしなければならないたびに、
苦しい思いをしている。
絵を描いているわりには、
買った水彩の本を読んではいないことに気がつき、
イギリス人のTrevorさんの本を空けてみる。
このallowという単語。私は、" 許す"という使い方しかできない。
上に示した文では、たぶん、筆をつかわないで、
色が自由に混ざるようにしたとでも解釈するべきだろうとおもったけれど、
正確に日本語でどういうのか知りたいところ。
Order from Russia
I have a facebook account and website as well.
So my works are exposed everywhere same as other people.
Yesterday, I got an private message in Facebook.
It was from Russia.
She asked me to paint a Superman with her boy friend's face.
I don't know why she asked ME?
Because I am quite seriously painting this town, Al Ain for a long time.
Why she thought I was
good at painting a superman?
Actually I like it. I should try something funny, but unfortunately I can't paint from only one photo. It is really hard to paint without meeting.If somebody ask me and pose in front of me, I will try my best to paint him.I'm absolutely sure.
I was planning to finish the piece which I post below last night,
but I coudn't remember the scene.
I was painting by my memory, but it was really hard,so I gave up.
And I went to the Al Ain Royal Museum to paint today.
Al Ain Royal Museum.
The first wash finished today.
I am going to finish this tonight.
鶏にひきつづき、
完成前にポストしてしまうということは、失敗しても、
ここにいれなければならないわけで。
成功したわーっていうのだけいれるのも、
ちょっと都合がよすぎるようにおもえてきたので、
ちょっとばかり、チャレンジしようとおもう。
1度スケッチしているので、
ほとんど、
写真はみなくて、ほとんど、記憶と想像で描く。
つもり。
"You are the pest"
I was expecting some more dramatic result though.
The paper was too small to try something exciting result.
Paper size is really important.
Chicken turned to automatically small,
so I couldn't play with colours.
I am going to try bigger paper one day.
I love Facebook these days.I post my paintings almost everyday like a diary.
So some people leave comments on them.
One of the comments which I got yesterday was
"You are the pest"
I hope it was a mistake of "best", but
I was curious, how she mistakenly typed it.
Because in my keyboard, p and b are 5cm apart.
日本語になおすと、
この有害な虫やろうってことになるんだけど。
まー間違いってことにしておこう。
I worked with JUKI member who love Japan. We did Origami workshop and painting workshop in Sharjah Library for orphans on Saturday. I did instant coffee painting with kids. All kid did great job.
22/5/2016
Can you imagine what I am painting?
This is the first wash. From now I am going to add some more details.I am not sure I can successfully complete or not. I will do it tonight.
How are you ?
Happy morning!!!
I tried my best not to touch a lot. It was hard. I wanted to paint every details though.
To create atmosphere, I should have stopped in this stage.
I am going to go to Sharjah from now for a charity event for orphan. I am sure I will do a great job with Emirati people.
Have a great day.
Thursday night, at 10:40pm.
All family member has gone to bed.
Isn't it too early to go to bed on Thursday night? It is Friday tomorrow!! Weekend!!!
My daughter's GCSE Spanish exam is coming tomorrow.
Kids who are studying in British curriculum, GCSE comes when they turn to year 11.
Biology 1 and Chemistry 1 finished so far.
There is no sea in Al Ain. We sometimes miss the sounds of waves and smell of salt.
The reflection was quite tricky but it turned quite easy by using wide flat brush.
I like this very much. I used Chinese white paint to create nice atmosphere.
There is no hiking road. I could get to the top of the mountain, but I was extremely tired.
When we walking, we picked up these time stones, a bone and a lid of bottle.
It turned to a great memory now.
And yesterday, I used this paint to show how to make gray.
Blueish gray,pinkish gray, greenish...endless.
After learning how to make different kind of gray, we painted the sea and beach, because the colour of beach is covered by all slightly different gray.

| ひさしぶりに、Samsung から、ポストやはり、うまくいかない。 I posted it from Samsung,still I can't it nicely. These days, I am painting everyday. I realized if I don't paint, I feel guilty. Dairy should be everyday. It is kind of training, so I am really enjoying to make lots of gray. And to study how to not to pick up everything is quite fun. |
