Only 4 more days until my solo exhibition: ......

Time is flying by at an unbelievable speed. I'm so busy with preparations that I can't make any progress on my new paintings. I will try my best until the very last minute.

In between, I painted a picture on a glass plate with acrylic paints.

Recently, I have been experimenting with painting on various materials, such as glass, metal, and wooden boards. If I leave it as it is, the paint will peel off, so I apply gesso as a base, but if I apply gesso, I end up with the same texture no matter what material I paint on, and I thought it didn't work so well ......, but I still think that glass has the same taste as I have come to realize that glass has its own drawing style, and wood has its own style. It is interesting.

時間がとんでもない速さで過ぎていきます。準備に追われて、なかなか描き下ろしの絵が進みません。ギリギリまで頑張ります。

そんな合間に、ガラス板にアクリル絵の具で一枚。

最近、ガラスとか、金属板とか、木の板とか、色々な素材に絵を描く実験をしています。そのままだと絵の具が剥がれてしまうので、下地にジェッソを塗っているのですが、ジェッソを塗ってしまうと、結局どんな素材に描いても同じ質感になってしまって、あまり効果がなかった……と思ったのですが、やはりガラスにはガラスの、木には木の描き味があるのが分かってきました。面白いです。
