What is a well-drawn painting?Having been drawing for over 10 years, I have come up with my own definition of what a good painting is. A well-drawn painting is not proportional to its size. A good picture, even a simple one drawn on a very small piece of paper, is sure to impress. For example, one of my favorite painters, the Korean painter Lee Jung-seop, painted using tin foil or gum paper from cigarette packs because he had no money to buy paper in extreme poverty. This painting is currently housed in the MoMA in New York. A beautiful picture destroys all forms. This is as if you cannot enter heaven even if you keep all the laws. Even if elements such as perfect composition, perspective, color, and brush strokes are almost flawless, some paintings fail to impress people. A well-drawn picture is cool even if it is roughly drawn.
A well-drawn painting often transcends the specificity and complexity of its subject matter. You don't have to search for rare and spectacular historical scenes to paint a masterpiece. A great painting can feel its own aura even when drawing on the surrounding rocks. A moving picture goes beyond technical description. When artists reach a new level after working for a long time, they often let go of technical intricacies. And he constantly searches for authenticity and essence, ultimately producing a masterpiece. The principle is always simple. It means painting a picture that goes beyond oneself and moves the artist who paints it. A well-drawn picture is not complicated, pretentious, or overly forceful. It is very comfortable and warm, like sunlight seeping into the alley. When I look at pictures like this, I think of my childhood and happy memories. Sometimes it helps me discover beauty I didn't know I had. As I paint, I often find that I need to paint honestly. Exaggerated brushstrokes inevitably create awkwardness. When I brush honestly and freely, the painting gives me a comfortable feeling. Pictures that put me at ease like this never deceive me. I am continuing to explore this process. Artists struggle every day to create beautiful and moving paintings that will last forever in the sincerity of art.

For those who are starting a new changeEven if we don't necessarily define it as 'luck' in life, it is a well-known fact that there is an unknown force at work in life. I scraped signs of good luck from the Internet. A sign of good luck 1. Tired and useless relationships are eliminated. 2. Health is restored. 3. The crops you grow and the food you ripen are doing well. 4. Your personality becomes softer. 5. The color of the face becomes brighter (becomes brighter and brighter) 6. Positive psychology is activated. 7. Motivation arises. 8. You gain the peace of mind to reflect on yourself and observe yourself. 9. A grateful heart arises. 10. Devotion arises unexpectedly. A sign of great fortune 1. The environment changes, whether voluntarily or unwillingly. 2. Human relationships change. 3. Gain enlightenment even from the smallest things. 4. You get to try unfamiliar things. 5. These are good habits and try to get rid of bad habits. 6. Personality and speaking style change. 7. You gain peace of mind and your worries disappear. 8. The complexion improves and the expression becomes brighter. 9. Confidence and thinking become more positive in everything. 10. Small things happen first and the environment changes. Looking back, I also know that good luck played a role in making me an artist. During that time, I met kind people I had only heard about and they gave me a great opportunity. That's why I know very well how important it is to have a good mindset to create good luck. Maybe that's why I don't get caught up in minor conflicts or problems. Even though it may seem like great luck to others, it can make you conceited and cause you to fall into the abyss. Even though it may seem to others that we are living in misfortune, some people learn lessons and develop through those events.
The same goes for my work as an artist. Excessive success doesn't seem to have a good effect on artists. Because art requires frequent examination of oneself. At the same time, the depth of the work changes. Pursuing something new and change is always exciting, but it can also be challenging. At this moment, I hope that everyone who is preparing for a new challenge can overcome their limits and face a moment of change. Waiting time for the perfection.A painting is like a sculpture.
The painting is refined and refined to achieve perfection. When refining a picture, you need to think more than when drawing it. Why did this shadow appear? Why is this place so bright? As you follow those footsteps, you will soon realize what the place in the picture means. I see tree trunks in places I didn't know about and rivers flow in places I didn't intend. Meanwhile, the picture is slowly completed. This picture was drawn considering the size of the mat, but in the end, the picture had to be extended to the size of the mat. In order for this extension of the painting to be complete, the same lines and textures must be chosen. Thanks to the extension, the area that the picture can talk about has expanded. I had to stay still and listen to the story the picture was telling. There were more hidden secrets there. When will this picture be completed? My conclusion for now is that more time and effort is needed. I am waiting to work on the next painting after this one, but for the time being, I have to take my time here until the questions surrounding this painting are resolved. Ready for Imagination in the Mills Pond gallery!Preparations for this Mills pond Gallery exhibition, “Imagination,” have been completed. Now all I have to do is put on the Flame Ring and the whole process is complete. I will be taking this painting to the gallery within the week.
The combination of the orange color and the gold border is perfect and makes me feel good. Drawing a picture is important, but creating a frame that fits it is even more beneficial. Sometimes the frame determines the mood of the picture. Fortunately, the orange and gold matched perfectly. I felt good when I saw this picture. It's like choosing a dress before going to a party, and my painting was also given a matching dress. I know my painting is ready to party. Drawing and framing always gives me great pleasure. Because it's like a miniature world I created myself. It's amazing that such a grand and large world can be packed into a small flame. In this painting called 'Reminiscence', it feels like tears are actually falling from the bull's eyes. Even I, who drew this picture myself, have been mistaken many times. So I believe this picture is well done. This exhibition runs from July 13th to August 11th. The charm of watercolor paintingI am deeply immersed in the charm of watercolor painting. Watercolor painting is like sculpting. By creating a waterway on paper, I take the path I want to take, or sometimes take a path that has nothing to do with my intention. The more I painted with watercolors, the more I fell in love with the style and beauty of watercolors. It's such a wonderful thing to be able to create the world I imagine by controlling the amount of water. In particular, watercolor painting does not require you to squeeze out each tube of paint like acrylic or oil painting. So I prefer fan-style watercolor paint. I'm always pressed for time and schedule, but whenever I have a moment, I have to draw, so watercolor painting, which allows me to open it and paint multiple colors right away, fits my lifestyle a lot. Especially I don’t have to worry about it hardening, and I don’t have to worry about odors or toxicity near the children. Above all, watercolor painting allows you to freely express anything as long as you have water. Because it dries relatively quickly, it is good for drawing and understanding the overall outline. More than anything, I love the clear and transparent vibe of watercolor. There is no medium as wonderful as watercolor when it comes to expressing dazzling light and transparent water. It's also good for slowing down your thoughts and refining your drawing, like a sculpture. However, acrylic and oil paintings can be modified by trapping, but watercolor paintings cannot. This is both an advantage and a disadvantage of watercolor. All tasks must be completed at once. However, if I think enough before drawing, all of this becomes possible. So, I think slowly and a lot while I draw. Because of my method, I don't often use masking tape or masking fluid. This is because I believe it diminishes the charm of watercolor painting by emptying and filling it. Usually I used positive and negative space for letting empty. Watercolor painting is like meditation. All you have to do is leave yourself to the tip of the brush and just quietly flow as your thoughts flow, as your mind allows. And you just have to watch. Unlike other mediums that express things exactly as intended, watercolor often encounters unintended coincidences. I think it's like magic. Sometimes misplaced paint creates unexpected spots. But when you look at it later, this too becomes part of the picture. In this respect, watercolor painting is very similar to our lives. I will continue to study watercolor in the future. Actually, my main medium was acrylic. I chose acrylic from my debut and it became my main medium. I wanted to capture the energy within objects. I wanted to draw the energy of objects using the dynamic lines and values created by brush strokes. At this time, acrylic was a good medium that could express the touch of the brush well. But my life became busier and busier, and before I knew it, I realized I didn't even have time to paint. When I didn't have time, I had to draw pictures in my head. Later, I also painted digitally. And when I had time, I picked up watercolor paint. And to this day, I am still working with watercolors. This watercolor painting is truly my magic wand. With these watercolors, I will complete the series of paintings I have planned for this year. I don't know what this trip will bring me. But this will be the journey of my journey. I'm already excited. When I return home after a tiring day, my painting welcomes me. Sometimes I rest in a painting. I will continue to draw pictures that provide rest. I have a deep passion for watercolor painting. It feels like sculpting, as I guide the water across the paper, sometimes intentionally and sometimes unpredictably. The more I paint with watercolors, the more I appreciate their style and beauty. I love the ability to bring my imagination to life by controlling the water.
It's where my creative journey continues, and I look forward to completing my planned series of paintings. |
