Blotting
数種類の和紙に水彩を使って絵の具の発色や滲み具合の様子を見ている。繊維の長さ、紙の厚さ、そして筆の穂先きの長さによって滲み方がかなり変わってくる。点を打つという行為は単純なのだが、滲みという要素が加わると板に油彩を使っているときよりも絵作りが複雑になってくるように感じる。
Using watercolors and ink on a few different kinds of Japan paper, I’m studying how those colors get blotted in different situations. The characters of fiber, the thickness of the paper, and the length of brushes all come into play to make various patterns of blotting effects. It seems more complicated compare to the oil colors on wood panels with this new element.
