はじめまして。

クレヨン画家の松下孝行と申します。

私のオンラインギャラリーにお越しいただき、誠にありがとうございます。

皆さんは幼少時にクレヨンでなにか描いたことがあるでしょう。クレヨンは、他の画材と比べて、安全性が高く、扱いやすいことから幼児教育に取り入れられています。子どもの頃のイメージからか「クレヨン画」というと繊細さより、鮮やかな色と大胆なタッチの絵というイメージをお持ちの方が多いのではないでしょうか。しかし、それは思い込みかもしれません。クレヨンで描く世界は、画材のシンプルさを生かしつつ、繊細さや奥深さを表現することができます。また、油絵のような世界観も表現できます。それはクレヨン画の新たな魅力です。ぜひ、この機会にクレヨンで描く世界をご堪能ください。

松下 孝行

If the meanings of the Japanese version and English translation version do not match, the Japanese version takes precedence.

It is a pleasure to meet you.

My name is Takayuki Matsushita and I am a crayon artist.

Thank you very much for visiting my online gallery.

This message is directed at Japanese people but I think that my works can be equally enjoyed by people of other nationalities too. I hope that you can feel something as a result of these works created in crayon.

I suppose that everyone has enjoyed drawing with crayons in their childhood. Crayons, unlike other artistic materials, are very safe and easy to handle, and are thus introduced to children’s education in Japan. The image that most people will have from their childhood of “crayon art” is pictures with a bold touch using vivid colors rather than anything delicate. However, this may just be prejudice. The world drawn with crayons, while maintaining simplicity of artistic materials, can also express delicacy and depth. It is also possible to depict a view of the world as seen in oil paintings. I hope you can take this opportunity to dive in to the world drawn by crayons.
