I was caught... / white pencil ･ black paper

As for the door of Room 12, he was going in and out that there is always no difficulty.
However, the door of the left-hand side did not open only within that time.
He still tried to enter from the space of a right half.
And he was caught.
Although he was struggling for a while, it is the figure which is taking a rest by getting tired.

I hope to be a wonderful year for all of you.

About the Ptolemaic System for Us/1303×1303mm/oil･linen･wooden frame

[Ⅰ] I explain the process of the creation of this work.

process-1

I draft it by a pencil until I can image the whole of the work.

process-2

I do a grazing by a red color.

process-3

I do a second grazing with a blue color.
I often select this color though it is not general to do the grazing in purple.
The reason is to use the phenomenon of the complementary color.
I think in particular the glazing of this color to show a effect to express the depth of the hue of the skin.

process-4

Furthermore, I paint each place in each color.

process-5

The chair having a shape of the sheep is made in terra cotta.
To give rough feeling of the material of the chair, I paint IWA-ENOGU melted with water-soluble emulsion.
You may find some references in the past articles, "MAKI-E technic" and "DETAILS-2" about IWA-ENOGU .

process-6

This part paints pigments with the sponge instead of the brush.
I remove the overflowing extra color with a brush before it dries.
I wait to dry, and this process is often repeated by a different color.
A flat brush of hard nylon is most suitable by this process.

[Ⅱ] I introduce the details of this work.

This is a work based on the story of Orpheus in the Greek myth.

About the Strength of Us / 1940×1303mm / oil ･ linen ･ wooden frame

I introduce the details of this work.

picture-4

I tried that I expressed the structure of the cloth of the woman three-dimensionally.

[process]
[1] While considering the structure of the cloth, I painted dark colors of the lining of the cloth with oil colors.
[2] I waited for them to dry, and I painted the threads of the cloth with water-soluble emulsion colors one by one.
The repulsion of water and oil had brought about an effect to the sharpness of the threads.
[3] After the paint dried, I gave GLAZING with transparent oil colors while being conscious of the structure of the cloth.
[4] I repeated [2] and [3] several times. Then the structure of the cloth became three-dimensional, and the multilayer characteristics of the threads became three-dimensional, too.

[notes]
GLAZING: Technique to paint a transparent thin layer. It can get smooth gradations and high colors of the chroma comparatively.
