【　Today's art piece　】 アルコールインクで彩色した後、 アルコールに浸した綿棒や楊枝で　海の生物を描きました。 The title is ”The Sea and All that is in it”. Do you know that the total number of marine species known to us is about 240,000 species, according to the 2021 census of the World Resister of Marine Species?  It is also said that the actual number might be more than one million species.  That is far beyond my imagination! 知ってました？ 海の生物って今知られてるだけで　24万種！ 実際には100万種以上いるらしい・・・  I colored a sheet of paper with alcohol ink and dried it completely.  Then I drew some sea creatures using alcohol-dipped Q-tips and toothpicks. アルコールのにじみを　コントロールするのが難しくて、 なかなか　思ったようには描けないけど、 そこが　アートの面白さ♡  I couldn't control how the alcohol would expand on the paper,  so it was difficult to depict exactly what I wanted to draw.  However, I think that is the most interesting part of art.  

今日の一枚 アルコールインクの鮮やかな色彩の上を アルコールを浸した綿棒でクルクルしたら、 なんとなくバラっぽくなりました（笑） Today's art piece.  The title is Rose Garden.  When I finished coloring a paper with pink, red, orange, and yellow alcohol ink,  I didn't have a particular idea about how I would complete this art piece.  However, while I kept looking at it,  I naturally started drawing small roses with alcohol-dipped Q-tips.  I was quite happy with how it turned out.

アルコールインクで遊んでみました。 ちょっとシャガールっぽい？（笑） タイトルは「思い出せない夢」 I've been enjoying playing with alcohol ink. This is my new art piece.   The title of this art piece is ”A Dream that I can't remember.” First, I drew a picture using many colors of alcohol ink.  After I dried it completely, I drew pictures on it with alcohol.  I dipped a brush, cotton swabs, or toothpicks into alcohol  and drew various things that popped up in my mind.  It was really fun!  It was interesting to see when I touched the brushes on the drawing,  alcohol removes the colors from it.  I drew various shapes randomly just as I like without thinking much. I thought that Chagall might have done the same  even though art critics analyze and try to find  meanings of every shape in his art pieces.
