日本画体験　京都旅行の思い出に絵はがきをつくろう＜日本画体験処 絵まき＞

I struggled with handling the paintbrush, and before I knew it, time flew by. 絵筆の扱いに苦労し、あっという間に時間が過ぎました。

I had a draft, so I was able to add color without struggling with the layout. Since the base was white, it was very difficult to control the amount of water when layering colors. Mixing paint on the palette takes time and requires moisture, so the colors tend to become lighter. I thought that using a tube type that dispenses a little at a time would save time. I was able to concentrate, so the time felt shorter. Thank you very much.

下書きがあったので、レイアウトに苦労せずに色付けが出来ました。
下地が白だったので色を重ねる時に水の加減が非常に難しかったです。パレット上で絵具を溶かすのは、時間がかかり水分が必要になるので、どうしても色が薄くなりがちなのでチューブ式で少しずつ出るタイプだと時間の節約になると思いました。集中できたので時間が短く感じました。有難うございました。

Traditional Japanese Art Lesson

Good time doing art. Great for all levels

Reviewed by: Dominika

My partner and I are fairly experienced in painting and wanted to learn the traditional Japanese way of painting. It was in between using gouche and watercolour. Our teacher was very kind and it was set in a quieter part of town in a home business. There were lots of beautiful art done by our teacher around. It was nice to meet another artist. The illustrations were already drawn for us to paint with very Japanese style designs, there were many to choose from and all were gorgeous. We had a really nice time. Some afternoon tea was provided and a sweet potato :)

Even if I'm not good at drawing since middle school, it's still fun. 絵を描くのが中学校以来でも下手でも、やはり楽しい。

First of all, I appreciated the polite guidance I received via email the day before; it was very helpful. Not only did it specify which bus to take from the station, but it also explained what to do after getting off at the bus stop. I had already checked it on Google Maps beforehand, but the instructions were very clear and easy to follow.

At the beginning, I chose a postcard with a sketch on it and painted over it. Besides the Wind God and Thunder God, there were also animals and flowers available, but my friend and I decided to go with the Wind God and Thunder God. There are coloring models available, but you can choose your own colors, and you also receive advice, so even though I wasn't very confident in my skills, I think I managed to create something decent.

Before starting, I thought it would be quick since the size was postcard-sized, but waiting for the paint to dry and thinking about what colors to use turned out to be surprisingly enjoyable. During the session, they also served us tea. Before I knew it, two hours had passed. At the end, they framed the painting for us, and that was the conclusion of the experience.

While I primarily visit Kyoto for sightseeing, as I get older, a full day of sightseeing has become tiring, so it seems that incorporating experiences like this one, followed by visiting two or three places, will become my new pattern. It was a good stimulation for my aging brain as well.

まず、前日にメールで丁寧なご案内をいただき、助かりました。駅からどのバスに乗るというだけでなく、バス停を降りたらどうすればよいかも書いていただき、もちろんグーグルマップでは事前に調べてあったが、でもとてもわかりやすくてよかったです。初めに下絵が書いてあるハガキを選び、その上に絵の具を塗ります。下絵は、風神雷神以外にも動物や花もありましたが、友人と私でやはり風神雷神の部分を選びました。もちろん着色のモデルはありますが、独自で選べますし、またアドバイスもいただけるので、下手さに自信はあっても、それなりに仕上がったと思います。始める前はハガキ大の大きさなので、すぐに終わるかと思いましたが、やはり絵の具が乾くのを待って、またどんな色にするか考えるのは意外に楽しかったです。途中で、紅茶も出していただきました。気が付くと、２時間が過ぎていました。終わりにはその絵を額に入れていただき、終了でした。京都にはもちろん観光がメインで行きますが、歳とともに、一日観光はしんどくなってきましたので、このような体験を一つ入れ、その後２～３か所廻るというパターンがこれからのパターンになりそうです。歳とった脳にもいい刺激にもなりました。

I went on a monitor tour of the Nihonga Experience Studio Emaki. 日本画体験処絵まき体験のモニターツアーに行ってきました。

I got off at the bus stop near Jodo-ji and clicked on "Japanese Painting Experience - Emaki" that I had saved in my smartphone schedule to check the map on Google Maps. To my surprise, it showed up inside Higashiyama Jisho-ji... After walking for a while, I felt something was off, so I checked the official website for the meeting place map and corrected my direction. However, the location indicated on the map was a liquor store... Just when I was starting to feel lost, I noticed a space that seemed to fit the description in a corner of the liquor store. It would be helpful if there was a banner or something to make it clearer. If you go directly, it's only a 2-3 minute walk from the bus stop.

Once seated, we greeted each other. In front of me was a paint box containing 30-40 colors of solid paint for Japanese painting, along with two brushes, water, a towel (for moisture control), a palette, and a file with postcards that had outlines drawn on them. I chose what I wanted to paint from that file. There were completed pieces available for reference, so I could choose based on those. I selected "Raijin" from the Wind God and Thunder God series, which required detailed coloring, while my partner chose "Iris." In the end, the larger designs were more challenging because they required techniques for shading and blending, but I felt I could experience some of the techniques of Japanese painting. Finally, we sprinkled gold leaf, added a Japanese painting-like touch, let it dry, and framed it to complete the piece. I thought I had done it smoothly, but it ended up taking about an hour and twenty minutes.

If you actively ask questions, they will teach you various techniques of Japanese painting, so I think it's good to proceed while asking. They also served us tea.

浄土寺のバス停で降り、スマホのスケジュールに入れてあった「日本画体験処　絵まき」をクリックしてグーグルマップで地図を見ると、なんと東山慈照寺の中に表示が、、、。しばらく歩いてなんか違うと思い、オフィシャルサイトから集合場所の確認の地図を見て、方向修正。しかし地図の示す場所には酒屋さんが、、、。また間違ったかな？と思って途方にくれていると、酒屋さんの一角にそれらしいスペースが、、、。のぼりかなんか有ると分かりやすいと思います。ちゃんと行けばバス停から２～３分でした。
着座してご挨拶。目の前には日本画用の固形絵具３０～４０色が入ったペイントボックス、筆２ケ、水、タオル（水分調節用）、パレット、輪郭が描いてある絵葉書のファイルが準備されています。そのファイルの中から自分の書きたい物を選びます。着色が済んだ完成品があるので、それを見て選ぶことが出来ます。私は細かい着色が必要な風神雷神の「雷神」を選び、相方は「カキツバタ」を選びました。結果的には大柄の絵柄の方が、濃淡やぼかしの技術が必要なので難しいですが、日本画のテクニックのいったんは、体験できると思いました。最後に金箔を散らし、日本画ポイテイストを加え、乾かして額に入れて完成です。スムーズにやったつもりでしたが、１時間２０分ぐらいかかってしまいました。
積極的にこちらからいろいろ聞くと、日本画のテクニックをいろいろ教えていただけるので、聞きながら進めて行くと良いと思います。お茶も出していただいました。
