言葉にならないほどの感動です。

男鹿和雄は、日本一の風景画家ですよね。

[Cruelhazard]

日本人の繊細な感性に酔いしれる。

[iamdekko]

he uses poster paint apparently...

[krimskrams]

does he use any reference at all?

[MrDylaneA]

I assume he painted from his imagination so much all the while studying life/photos that he can do this kind of stuff almost entierly out of his head hah!

[BGLart]

is it water color yo yo?

[BetterNot10]

Poster paint for the background artwork, they had it on the studio tables at Ghibli museum. Full of amazing original artwork, well worth going if you ever get to Tokyo, it's in Mitaka. Wonderful place. With an amazing 3d zoetrope machine with lots of character including Neko/cat bus and Totoro all moving in what seems 3d!

[duran3d]

What paintings does he use? Guache or normal watercolors?

[glustar]

Watercolors i think!

[hulahoops123]

@glustar I dont think its water colour the texture of the medium is abit thick so i think its an ink.

[Cruelhazard]

@hulahoops123

No, it's poster color paint. He said so himself in the blu-ray I have of his work. He thins it down with water to create a water color consistency and effect.

@duran3d

I read somewhere that studio ghibli use "Poster paints" mainly becuz they are cheap

[niyatim]

@duran3d he actually uses poster paint which is closer to gaouche

[niyatim]

@duran3d he actually uses poster paint which is closer to goauche

[SuperGamer87]

@duran3d Poster paints, surprisingly.

[Fjnoxluvscomixhaa]

@duran3d I've read that he uses poster colours a lotta times.

[SolidSquid1]

@duran3d old post, but from an interview I saw with I think he uses poster paints. He's got 40-50 pots of different colours at the front of his drawing table and grabs the ones he needs for whatever he's working on

[EBfourside]

@duran3d Its actually poster paint...

[ldzatoichi]

would anyone happen to know what that transparent sheet was used for?

[BetterNot10]

Tranparent sheet is probably the same as airbrush artists use, it's sticky one side to keep it in place to mask an area so sprayed paint won't stray onto those areas you want to keep white or unaffected by the spray. I'm sure a decent art shop would have it.

[incubyte]

bluray of what??? I want it!!!

[glustar]

bluray or dvd as you wish, but the bluray is more better.

[helentrees]

[glustar]
