The theme of this lecture is “Autumn landscape painting”.
You may also go on a trip to see autumn leaves from now on.

When you come across beautiful scenery on your trip, do you keep taking pictures seriously?
However, most people are so absorbed in taking pictures that they don’t remember the scenery, right?

At times like that, it’s convenient to bring a small sketchbook.

Let’s draw the scenery in the sketchbook.

After returning home, one of the ways to enjoy traveling is to paint a watercolor painting using photos and the scenery drawn in the sketch book.

Harumichi Shibasaki’s Tips for Enjoying Drawing

Mr. Shibasaki explains that there are three things to be aware of when drawing.

When I start drawing from now on, I wander around thinking, “Okay, I’m going to draw a masterpiece!”, “I want to draw this and that!”

This should not be done. As I mentioned at the beginning,

Demonstration of Harumichi Shibasaki’s autumn landscape painting

This year’s theme was “Autumn Landscape”. I drew this picture while participating in the lecture.

Tips for coloring

Tips for coloring.

① Clean
② Properly
③ Do not carefully turn it upside down.

The key is to use plenty of water and paint, and to paint thickly and a lot.

Watercolor painting borrows the power of water and draws with water.

The ultimate painting is landscape painting. Let’s draw with the feeling of going to the place.
It’s easy to project how you feel.

Also, thank you for the scenery that came out in front of me.

Autumn landscape painting by me. This is a landscape painting that I drew while looking at the screen after listening to Mr. Shibasaki’s explanation.

A picture is not an explanation. The picture is implied. There is no problem with the atmosphere of the place. Appropriate but OK.

Also, there is one more trick when drawing landscapes.
that is···

☑️ Brightness: Whether the drawing is bright or dark
☑️ Whole: Focus on the whole, not the details
☑️ Arrangement of pictures: Visualize the arrangement of each object while drafting with a pencil

The picture is an exaggeration.
Mr. Shibasaki says that mixing colors for painting is the same as cooking.

Mixed colors are the same as seasonings.

The basics are similar colors and complementary colors. We will mix colors of similar colors (colors of good friends).
When you mix a complementary color with a similar color, it becomes muddy and black.

If you experience this color mixing like cooking, you will be able to create your own colors.
