Even at my age, I tend to choose a way of drawing that I've never done before, or a way that I'm not good at, thinking that I'll still discover something new, or that I'll still get better at it. And it never turns out to be the same face.
Even the paintings of Lain that I have been drawing for a while now, each face is...

Basically, I do not paint pictures of completed works unless I am asked to do so. This is because I cannot think about the next work unless I have a closure.
Twenty-five years (or maybe more) have passed since serial experiments lain ended, and I painted quite a few pictures of Reine again for this solo exhibition, and ...

I am drawing lain for a solo exhibition on watercolor paper of TRAVELER'S notebook.
It is a thick watercolor paper, so it is very good because the paper does not get saggy without water-stretching.
I want to use the unique blotchiness of watercolor as a good effect, so I am trying to paint in a way that the blotch...

Sorry for the delay in posting. This is the painting of June 27.
I made some progress on the painting of lain for my solo exhibition. But when I drew the hands, they were a little small, so I had to redraw the hands while correcting the pose.
With digital, it takes only a few dozen minutes, but with a large panel,...

Today's picture. This is yesterday's painting, though I'm late in posting it.

While painting with acrylics, I made a small discovery about technique.
I’ve only ever used transparent watercolors before, so I’m still inexperienced with acrylics. I haven’t quite grasped the characteristics of the paint yet, and I often end up applying it thinly, as if it were watercolor.
To fix that, I s...

While I was painting without deciding what to paint, I suddenly thought that the faces of the people looked somewhat like the 1990s.Later, as I continued to draw and erase, that slightly old-fashioned look faded, but what do you mean by "a pattern that looks like the XX century"?
Well, I think that there is clearly such...

Part of it is because I'm on a deadline, but the other part is that when I'm painting with paints, if I don't paint before the screen dries, it gets uneven, and the paints I put out on the palette keep hardening, so I think I should paint until I use up all the paints on the palette, and so on, and the time is sneaking by.......

No, of course I knew that. It is natural that it takes more time to paint a large picture because you can put more detail into it, but I had thought for a moment that using a large brush would not be so different from painting a small picture with a small brush, up to the point of roughly dividing the colors.
I did it, ...
