sees my art on the 21 00:00:48,149 --> 00:00:51,808 internet and because of your positive 22 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:56,339 reaction I'm actually thinking about 23 00:00:51,808 --> 00:00:58,558 focusing on my own art more in 2017 for 24 00:00:56,340 --> 00:01:00,570 example I already started making my own 25 00:00:58,558 --> 00:01:03,358 comic and it will be in the internet 26 00:01:00,570 --> 00:01:05,579 soon and I have many other projects 27 00:01:03,359 --> 00:01:07,740 planned so stay tuned to my websites and 28 00:01:05,579 --> 00:01:10,890 social media and you'll have everything 29 00:01:07,739 --> 00:01:12,688 there I hope I can create some stuff 30 00:01:10,890 --> 00:01:15,329 that will make your piece of the 31 00:01:12,688 --> 00:01:18,989 internet a little bit more colourful and 32 00:01:15,329 --> 00:01:21,060 artful and educational and finally I 33 00:01:18,989 --> 00:01:24,839 would like to wish you all happy and 34 00:01:21,060 --> 00:01:28,500 excellent and

00:01:37,920 is actually a lantern I saw in Hakone 38 00:01:33,989 --> 00:01:42,658 Jinja which is located in Oconee and we 39 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:44,219 went there for our New Year's break to 40 00:01:42,659 --> 00:01:48,329 rest a little bit from Tokyo 41 00:01:44,219 --> 00:01:50,908 I used the water-soluble pencil to do 42 00:01:48,328 --> 00:01:54,000 the sketch and I erased it a little bit 43 00:01:50,909 --> 00:01:57,240 with Mediate eraser so the lines are 44 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:59,938 just little big visible and then I used 45 00:01:57,239 --> 00:02:03,718 my standard watercolor set the shrinker 46 00:01:59,938 --> 00:02:06,118 38 colours one and a brush that from a 47 00:02:03,718 --> 00:02:10,049 Japanese company a Japanese maker called 48 00:02:06,118 --> 00:02:12,909 our Ted J and it's a core list 990 brush 49 00:02:10,050 --> 00:02:17,130 but I don't think you can buy them out 50 00:02:12,909 --> 00:02:20,770 of Japan and as for the paper I used the 51 00:02:17,129 --> 00:02:23,919 whole buying sounders waterford natural 52 00:02:20,770 --> 00:02:27,370 and it's 300 grams per square meter cold 53 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:29,699 pressed paper and it's quite nice one I 54 00:02:27,370 --> 00:02:33,250 liked it because it has a nice natural 55 00:02:29,699 --> 00:02:35,199 warm white color and I'm painting a 56 00:02:33,250 --> 00:02:40,409 Japanese Lantern which is in Japanese 57 00:02:35,199 --> 00:02:43,239 called Toro and this is a thing that was 58 00:02:40,409 --> 00:02:46,090 traditionally used in Buddhist temples 59 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:49,450 to illuminate the paths to the temple 60 00:02:46,090 --> 00:02:51,670 and to offer the light to the boot dog 61 00:02:49,449 --> 00:02:54,189 but from the Han period they are used 62 00:02:51,669 --> 00:02:57,519 also in Shinto shrines and in private 63 00:02:54,189 --> 00:03:00,189 homes and gardens just to light them up 64 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:02,200 I liked this one really much because of 65 00:03:00,189 --> 00:03:05,020 the moss on top of it so I decided to 66 00:03:02,199 --> 00:03:07,509 paint it the finished picture looks like 67 00:03:05,020 --> 00:03:10,750 this and you can see it in more details 68 00:03:07,509 --> 00:03:13,179 on my website I have more of my works 69 00:03:10,750 --> 00:03:16,090 there also I have lots of videos already 70 00:03:13,180 -->
