初めまして。私は美術部の中学1年生です。 私の顧問は、こうゆう基礎的なことを教えてくれずに コンクールに出す絵を描きなさい。 と言います。上手くできず、紙がいたんでしまって困ってました。 柴崎先生は、教え方も優しくて何度も復習してくださるので覚えやすいです。 顧問に怒られてばっかりで、部活に対しての関心が無くなってましたが、あなたの動画を見る度に部活が楽しみになってきます。 本当にありがとうございます。

That was my biggest mistake whenever I try to paint and now I'm trying to learn the basic techniques to get beter and better. Thank you for explaining this so clearly.

[@mutsumidori3024]

以前から、紙も筆もごく一般的なものを使用されていらっしゃるのに、出来上がりがとてもきれいなことに気付いていました。水を吸う暇がないくらい的確に素早く筆を動かせるからだと感心していましたが、それにもましてこういうテクニックもあるのですね。そういえばよくパレットに水分をたっぷり張って色を作っていました。ちまちまと何回も継ぎ足して色を作るのは、色の濃度も安定しないし、確かにまだら塗になってしまいます。マジックは種を明かせば「なーんだ」という事になりますが、ギャラリーをあっと言わせるには地道な練習と努力ですね。それにしても先生は、描いて、教室で教えて、定期的に個展も開いて、時々料理、その上you tube、何てタフなんでしょう！（以前の入院が信じられません）

[@user-kb3lp1ik8z]

いつも私は思った以上に薄く塗ってしまい、乾いてから重ねて塗り直すことを繰り返していました。紙をぼよぼよにしてはいけないというのは、勉強になりました❗

紙がベコベコにならないのはそういう事だったんですね！！！！

[@pdavis7537]

When I first started taking watercolor lessons, the first 2 lessons were about how to soak the paper properly and how to mount the paper on a board or frame. Lesson 3 was how to lay down a wash in left to right stripes. Now, Shibasaki- san has shown me the RIGHT WAY to do it! Thank you, Sensei !

[@bunnysm]

But this is not very good either. You can already see it in the video, where his first wash is drying and it is getting patchy. Of course, this might be the look you aim for, but even on a very good paper, it will be blotchy.

I haven’t ever painted before but I’m going to go out and get some art supplies this weekend because of your videos sir. ありがとございます！

[@ruruk2533]

本当にありがとうございます。 私は水彩画を絵を描き始めた頃によく練習してましたが、いつも塗りがムラムラしてて紙もベコベコになっていました。 絵の先生や周りの上手い人に聞いても、「タッチが荒いね」「水のコントロールが出来てないね」とばかり答えました。 そんなこと見れば分かるよって思いながらも、どんなに練習してもうまく行かず、いつの間にか水彩を半端諦め、デジタルやつけペンに徹してました。 今日柴崎先生の動画を観て、私にとっての「水彩画の謎」は解けたような気がします。 今思うと、確かに「上手い」と思った人は先に絵の具を紙に置いてから描いてた気がします。 一つの動作のように思えた「描く」を、「絵の具を置く」と「形を整える」の２つの工程に分けて行うこの描き方こそ、 修正の効かないコントロールも難しい水彩の正しい描き方だと思います。

Your video came up as a suggestion and so I watched it. I have tried watercolor painting before and failed at it terribly. After this video I'm going to try it again. Back when I was a student, a long time ago, the teacher taught the first way to do a flat wash, she even said you had to wet the paper first, before starting any painting. Now I know the correct way to do a flat wash and I an eager, at my old age, to learn more. Thank you so much. You may be a magician and a teach but you are truly a master. I look forward to learning more.

A flat wash is a block of flat colour which may be for a background. It's similar to a wall at home that you would paint without differences in the colour. I hope that helps.
