リック・アンダーソン アメリカから、お気に入りのパレットと水彩画のテクニックを共有しています:

Here’s a fun Q&A with Rick:

なぜ絵を描くのですか?
There’s an inner motivation that’s always there. I’ve always said that I make art because I can’t not make art. It’s been a drive for as long as I can remember. I used to draw pencil sketches of models from the Sears and Roebuck catalog. I create art because I have to. It’s inside me. Creating art is always exciting and I never grow tired of it.

絵を描き始めてどのくらいになりますか?
Since I was a child.

正式な美術教育を受けましたか?  
I have a Masters of Art Education degree. I retired from teaching after twenty five years in the Mississippi Public Schools, but I will never retire from creating art.

プロのアーティストですか、それとも趣味でやっていますか?
Definitely a professional working artist.

私にインスピレーションを与えるものは何ですか?
Inspiration is everywhere – it’s all around us. All one has to do is to look and see. Inspiration can be watching others paint – seeing what they do and how they do it. I wake up and am inspired. I’m fortunate. I had a student ask me who makes me work. My answer was NOBODY. I paint because I must.

絵を描いているときは、どんな音楽を聴きますか?
Any kind of music – classical, rock, 60’s, 70’s, 80’s…

メンターはいらっしゃいますか?
I consider my friend and internationally renowned watercolor artist, Laurin McCracken, to be a mentor. He offers me guidance that is most helpful in my journey with watercolor painting. While I’m not new to watercolor or participating in exhibitions, thanks to Laurin, my watercolor career has been taken to a new level.

毎日絵を描きますか?
I paint most every day. With my studio inside my home, it makes it easy to have that ability.

一度に一枚ずつ描きますか、それとも数枚を同時に制作しますか?
I mostly work on several paintings at one time.

アトリエでの絵画と、野外での写生、どちらがお好みですか?
I prefer painting in my studio.

何色のコアカラーを使用していますか?
I continue to add new DANIEL SMITH colors to my palette, so I can’t give an exact number, but I do know that there are certain colors I would not want to be without, many of which are on my swatch chart below.

チューブ、パン、それともスティック?
Tubes. I haven’t used the sticks yet, but I plan to.

Do you use masking fluid?
I do use masking fluid. I like that DANIEL SMITH Masking comes with several sizes of applicator tips that I can use to generate thin lines of masking.

作品が完成したといつわかるのですか?
There is no magical time that tells me when a piece is finished. At several points while I’m working on a painting, I pause to study it to determine if I need to let it rest or if I need to work on any particular areas. There does come a time though, when I have to say it’s done.
