Introducing a new book. 

At this time, I tried to summarize how to see and understand the shape. Actually, although it is called a class of watercolor painting, I mainly teach "how to see and understand basic shapes" rather than "how to paint colors". That said, the technique books that have been published so far have focused on how to use paints such as colors and expressions. It's a fine because the books are all about watercolor technique.

​

"Truly, it's a color based on a shape. Even if you can imitate the color, you can't imitate the shape without drawing skill. The only way to do it is to acquire drawing skill by yourself." I'm telling you and myself.

​

Therefore, this new book was made by consulting with my longtime editorial partner, Mari Nagai, "I want to make a textbook that I can actually use in my class, and I want to summarize the basic things that I always explain on the blackboard." .

​

It is cheeky, but when someone say "Tell me how to draw roses" or "Tell me how to draw lilies", I just answer "I can teach you how to see and understand roses". By just telling the ways of color and technique to draw the rose and lily, the two flowers can be drawn, but the other flowers cannot be drawn because they have not learned. What is important is a "basic way of view". If you get it, you will be able to draw any flowers or still life freely.

​

So, I wrote this book based on the theme how to draw a draft of water color with pencil, the way to take a shape and color. It explains one by one with familiar motifs that are often taken up in watercolor themes.
