Looks like you’ve met your match in knowledge of art. Kanji is also another form of Japanese writing but if I’m not mistaken, it’s written vertically.
tamakimikesaka
@Agentny003
Yeah, each of my students has their own strengths, and their personalities really come through in their work.
Class is always full of inspiration!
As for kanji, it can be written both vertically and horizontally—
but the calligraphy piece he brought in this time was written vertically.

Looks like someone is going overboard with the meaning of the leaves.
tamakimikesaka
>Agentny003
That was me.
In Japanese, we pronounce "leaf," "leaves," and "points" all the same — "happa."
I ended up explaining it in a way that was confusing for her.
I'll make sure to be more careful from now on.

His girlfriend’s a truly kind soul. I wish them a long and happy relationship.

59. Cut off Melancholy(1/3)
Agentny003
Word of advice. Never argue against a woman unless you have all your points straight; otherwise you’ll lose the battle.
tamakimikesaka
>Agentny003
That’s a bit too optimistic.
Once a woman’s in full rage mode, no logic in the world will work.
I’ve never won against an angry female friend!(；▽；）
Agentny003
You left it at your house behind the computer. 😆

>Agentny003
When I got home, I apologized to it. lol
Agentny003
Being ambidextrous is rare. I use both my hands for different things. on the board I use both to write.
tamakimikesaka
>Agentny003
You are so talented!
I really want to get better at using my left hand as well...

Thanks!
I’ll let Takuma know.

Quite a snack. Sure is making me feel hungry.

Let's eat some croquettes!
Or fries work too!

Looks can be deceiving.

>Agentny003
He has no idea how beautiful he looks,
how long his eyelashes are, or how clear his voice is.
And sometimes, I forget that he’s actually a cockatiel.
The way he shows me friendship feels almost human.

Why do I have a feeling you did something you weren’t supposed to do? 😆

Your hunch was right.
I totally regret buying an abocado cutter. (T ^ T)

Blending can also lead to creating Gradients.
tamakimikesaka
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">>Agentny003
Yeah, I’m pretty good at blending deep, rich colors.
But I struggle with highlights and lighter gradients.
You, on the other hand, seem to have a real talent for them
—your lightning and shimmering water are absolutely stunning.
That’s one of the things I love about your art!

I want them to experience the joy of layering blends to create rich, deep artwork.

46. ◆Color Combinations
Agentny003
The way you use the prism to show how light impact the colors is a good example. Very smart using the Art side of Physics for your presentation.
tamakimikesaka
@Agentny003
You're right!
I’m planning to post an episode explaining it using a prism.
Physics is really useful, so I often reference it in my lessons.

45. ◆The Background of the Hippo Picture
Agentny003
There are so many colors it’s takes creativity to fuse them into entirely new colors. Time to make the Color Wheel even bigger.
tamakimikesaka
@Agentny003
Yeah, you're right!
We should create a big color wheel that includes brightness and saturation too.
Even if it ends up as complex as the New York subway map, I’m all for it! lol

If you borrowed it from the library, you’ll have to pay for the damage. 😆

@Agentny003
Just imagining that makes my heart sink.
I think I'll try to buy books instead of borrowing them from the library whenever I can.

Talk about irresponsible parents.

@Agentny003
Yeah...
I truly hope accidents like this become less and less.

Believe it or not sometimes the water can play a role in a painting.
tamakimikesaka 10 months ago
@Agentny003
Yeah, blending can totally change the color from what you expected.
I always do a quick test before putting anything on the actual painting.
